    Additional Updates

    What’s up fam- it’s your physically and temporally-absent boi here dropping back in.

    Brief updates on life- been working my tail off (doctoring is hard) and got married last month. I haven’t forgotten about you all. There’s still plenty of stories rattling around upstairs; it’s just a matter of finding time to put fingers to the keyboard.

    My Dudes

    I'm finishing up my last year of medical school and matched into my first choice residency (at the same hospital/school I'm at now, actually!); so I apologize for not posting any new content in... 13 months :fluttershyouch:

    My thoughts on Gen 5

    Watched it on opening day on Netflix.

    Pretty good, actually. Looking forward to writing new ponies to snug, and I bet the TV universe will be really interesting!

Ask Me Anything! (Fun!) · 10:41pm Sep 23rd, 2018

I've been a pretty poor blog-poster on here, with most of my site interaction based off of posting stories and commenting on various things...

So, I'm going to try and be a little more fun: I'm going to have an AMA session on this blog post! Feel free to ask me whatever you'd like in the comments and I'll give you a response! :D

If you were given the option to cuddle One of FIM'S Villans(reformed or not) who would you Choose?

Your opinion of interspecies coupling?

Gonna provide us with any Zecora stories? Them rhymes be killer, though.

What's your score on MLP Season 8?

If tin whistles are made out of tin, what do they make foghorns out of?

Will you make a sequel to "The First First Kiss"? (You did say yourself that you would consider it).

What was the first episode of FIM that you ever watched?

4942669
Actually, I do!

It took me a while to get into it (I don't have a PS3/4 so my availability was limited) But I got MGS5 for the Xbox One (broken game lmao) and have 2 and 3 retroactively released for the 360. At first I thought Kojima was a troll...then I thought he was a genius...then I finally realized he's a genius that just wants to troll people.

SNAAAAAAAAAAAKKKEEE EAAATEEEEERRRRR

4942672
That is SUCH a difficult question. Either NMM or Chrissy probably...but idk there are some minor villains in the running. Lightning Dust or Trixie, anyone?

4942673
OK in universe but I tend to steer clear of human x pony pairing (beyond snuggles and cheek kisses).

I ship Rarity and Spike HARD tho

4942674
Maybe! I'm sure there's a way I can involve her with cuddling...And if not, then some comedy should work!

(Zecora's VA Brenda Chrichlow hugged me at Trotcon in the mane hall in front of a million people and it made me so happy :pinkiehappy:)

4942675
I r8 8/8

(Actually though, my opinion is that each season of FiM is better than the last. The only exception to this might have been S3. Aside from the Maud's bf episode [because Maud is a terrible character meant to be a one-off joke and her boyfriend is somehow even worse] I've loved every one I've seen. I still need to watch about 5 or 6 to catch up)

If you were given the option to cuddle Big Macintosh, Shining Armor, or Flash sentry(
Pony) who would you Choose?

4942682
If I can think of a really good premise, I will. I have to be very careful though. For some reason I caught a lot of flak the first time around (some people considered it borderline child rape and I didn't even know how to respond, it was so out of left field)

4942687
The saddest thing ever is that I don't remember. The only thing I do remember is that I did not start with either the pilot or the S2 premiere; but I did binge the first two seasons over about 10 days :3

I do, however, remember what introduced me to the fandom. The first EVER pony related video I saw was Party.mov

4942699
Not a big bro-cuddler, but I feel like Flashyboi probably needs cuddles the most out of those three.

Age?
Sex?
Location?
Sexual orientation?
Education Level?
Job outside of pone?
Religious?
Favorite ship?
Least favorite Ship?
Fave video game?
Fave cartoon besides ponies?
Fave cartoon character of all time?

ooF, okay:

Opinion on changeling redesign?
Any favorite, ultra obscure/specific aspects about MLP?
Any other pony-related hobbies?
Would you prefer less pony-centric questions?
What you look for in a story?

Fave Alicorn?
(Big Mac Counts)

4942719
New Changelings are cool. Pretty gay, but cool.
You just fall in love with the characters <3 I guess it's the dialogue.
As my degeneracy levels have slowly increased, I've begun collecting pony body pillows.
Pony-centric questions are fine if that's what you're about!
An interesting premise is the most important aspect of a good story!

4942720
Woooooooooooooooooooooooona!

4942692
Other than Spike shipping with Rarity, who else would you ship him with?

Which story did you have the most fun writing? also how many plushies do you own? Also were you at bronycon2018? (if you were im sad that i missed you)

4942735
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe Twilight? MAYBE?

Sparity is the OTP tho

What's one pony you'd like to write more of?:ajsmug: Mines Somnambula:yay:

4942776
George S. Dragon was the most fun; I have too many to easily count (probably between 30-40, including a 4' Luna; and I was at Bronycon this year! In fact, I was on FamousLastWords' shipping panel!

4942803
I really want to write more Twiggles (and plan to in the VERY near future)

4942805
Twiggles is an adorkable book horse. Looking forward to seeing more snuggle fics with her:moustache:

4942706
Oh, how neat! One thing that helped me get interested was the video of Fluttershy’s cover of Evil Enchantress being replaced with Reggie Watts’ ‘Fuck Shit Stack’.

I believe the first time I sat down to watch a full episode was the season 1 finale.

4942853
That video is another absolutely bangin’ classic

Are you looking forward to Generation 5?
What do you want to see in G5?
What do you not want to see in G5?
In your opinion, what scientific field is the best? Be as specific as you want (I say physics, engineering if you want to be specific).

Will Derpy every get her Pet Your Own Pony Adventure?
Will you ever write a sweet and cute Derpy story?
Tell my why Derpy is best pony?

Do you plan to stick with the G4 fiction writing in to G5?
What fiction and non-fiction authors inspire you (Not necessarily fanfiction)?

What do you think would happen if for one moment the all members of the human race experienced a moment of true, perfect, empathy for their fellow man?

Kirk and Sisko get in a bare-knuckle brawl, who buys the brandy afterwards?

Do you infact aim to misbehave?

4942960
I’m very much looking forward to G5! More pony is more pony! I’m a ponyfan for life.
The list of things I want to see is endless; the one thing I hope they DONT do is take the same character names/designs and rework them (unfortunately, that’s what the leaks seemed to indicate).
I was educated/trained as a Biochemist, so of course that’s my answer; although I still very much appreciate the work of molecular biologists.

4942965
Derpy might one day! (I love writing those stories but they take SO long ;-;)
Derpy is great because she's voiced by the same person who does WOOOOOONA
I definitely will continue writing as long as people read, which includes G5!

The Descendant doesn't write anymore, but MAN was his stuff good.

The moment would end before anyone could do anything about it!

Obi-Wan

I aim to eliminate the federal government; whether or not that qualifies as 'misbehaving' is anyone's guess!

Was there a particular pair you wanted to see cuddling in the great cuddle-contest that you didn't see?

4943203
Not in particular; actually, I'd rather have been floored by an ultra-unexpected pairing!

What do you think is your BEST written story (so far)?
Date your own Dashie is the best in my book

4943519
Best? That’s a tough question!

Finding Purpose was the best thematically, I think. I really enjoy writing most of the one-shots, but I also loved Luna’s Cuddle Dungeon and some of the other silly stuff I’ve done.

A trashy story that was the most fun to write was George S Dragon; it was pure joy at the time and I still laugh audibly when I read it back to myself.
