Hail King Sombra


We are all just stories in the end. Official scribe to his Royal Highness King Sombra of the Crystal Empire. His tales are as varied as they are poignant, sad and bittersweet. Remember them well.

    Evil Daylight, How DARE you interrupt my writing!


    I see you, evil, approaching sun, soon to encroach upon my cool, dim sanctuary of shade. I will write until your unwelcome, burning presents invades my domain. Then I will retreat to the safety of my darkened studio.

    The King (and Nyx) are Back!

    I've been gone a long time and I did the one thing I hated that other writers whose work I cared about did - leaving and dropping off the face of Equestria without a trace.

    For that, I apologize.

    SPOILER for the new season of MLP G5

    Okay, I REALLY want to put a pic here, but if ponies are going to SCREAM that it shows up in their feed and they got spoiled, I don't want to hear about it.

    So...apparently Celestia and Luna are shown in the new episode of MLP G5 that just dropped. WTF? I want to talk about it, so if you don't mind hearing about this new development, let me know in the comments.

Today is Fanfic Writer's Appreciation Day! · 4:31pm Aug 21st, 2018


Exactly one year ago today, one of my favorite King Sombra writers, Yoru-the-Rogue, posted a blog about August 21st being Fanfic Writer's Appreciation Day. I have kept a reminder of that on my calendar so that I could remind myself and my beloved followers today of what this means to all of us.

I have new friends from across the world I met because I am a fanfiction writer.

I helped one of the most incredibly talented artists I know come out of her shell by being her friend and encouraging her love of drawing King Sombra until she blossomed, pushing her artwork to new heights of beauty. She even came over to the States from the United Kingdom to attend the last Equestria LA MLP convention with us.

I got the balls to publish not only my My Little Pony fanfiction, but also one week ago today, I published a tribute to the passing of my beloved 12-year old cat Rhubarb.

Writing fanfiction got me used to the idea that all the other fiction I have written since I was in the 5th grade is worthy of publishing and sharing with the world. Our love for the characters brings us out of our shells and helps all of us become better than we were before we took those first hesitant, tentative steps to reach out and make the world a better place through our contributions.

In celebration of today, read a FIM story, give a like, an upvote, even a kind comment to someone who's story deserves it. It won't cost you anything but time and the writer will absolutely appreciate it - guaranteed.
