    Happy 20th anniversary, Lord of the Rings. Stories, anyone?

    Sweet Celestia I'm old.

    What are your favourite LotR crossover fics here on fimfiction?
    I still remember 'The White Rider', an amazingly written fic that sadly was never finished.

    Anyway. :b

    Next Generation? Oh yes please.

    Must say I loved the movie, it gave a shitty week a wonderful end and I still have the fuzzies 20h later. That hasn't happened in a very, very long time. Watched it with my kids and other half, and we had a blast. Characters are great, the music is good to great and always fits, the jokes landed. References and also themes that will go over most kids' heads but are satisfying and often funny to

    Six years and a day ago...

    ...the one thing happened that made me write my first fimfiction story, Northland.

    TThe Last Pony on Earth
    One day, Earth. The next, everyone is gone and I'm a pony. What the heck is going on?

    Damn.

    I got a a really nice comment on it today and now I feel both happy and sad.
    At my current pace the next chapter of Northland should be out at about May 2025. :ajsleepy:

    The iPone has arrived - and people are spontaneously combusting

    I think the new pones are ridiculously cute, and a smartphone (regardless of how it works - we're officially in the far future after all) with a hoof-indent for better, uhm, handling is peak adorable. That's got to be one of the next inventions in the Track-Switch verse, for mankind's ongoing quest to become more accommodating to ponykind.

    Not dead, new story, lots of coffee

    So, yeah, I'm not dead.
    I had a really, really shitty time that recently ended with me losing my job, which I hated.

    Apparently that sudden freedom was what was needed to lift my writer's block and I wrote a new story, that may or may not be a one-shot.

Time to wake up from that dream again · 9:38pm Nov 7th, 2018

So, this is it.

The single strangest (but serious) thing I've ever attempted to write is done and the last chapter will be forthcoming shortly. I've done a ridiculous amount of research for the smallest things that more often than not only affect a single sentence or two. It's been tremendously fun ;)

I've also discovered my inner railway nerd again and am very happy about that. I've also learned a lot of new English words because of it, since I only knew the technical terms in German until now. Writing ponyfics can be surprisingly educational.

A note on Trax: Her personality developed all by itself, she was never supposed to have one. I have the headcanon that magic does strange things to electronics (mostly fry them though, if it's too much). An environment full of constant low-level batpony magic appears to instil a kind of sentience and semi-sapience in larger networks, something only said bat can recognise though. Residual dream magic maybe that gets trapped in the circuits?

Nightline herself obviously doesn't always trust her own experience of that effect, but then again sometimes she does. In a way. It's complicated.
Trax is a good loco though.


Now, does anyone know how Nightline actually looks apart from 'blue'?
Or what her cutiemark looks like?
Because I sure don't. ;)

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for taking the time to write it! I enjoyed the story thoroughly. It was a lovely journey, from beginning to end.
