    Life is short, write ponies

    Sigh... I feel like a complete failure.

    It was about four and a half years ago I said I was going to get back into writing, the next chapters of With Rainbow Hair and My Little Destiny were on the way, and I was going to finally finish Sibling Rivalry and get started on its sequel, Tales of Faust, which focuses mainly on Scootaloo and her new vocation.

    Return to the Fiction

    I haven't written anything related to fanfiction, or any type of prose, in over five years. That's actually why I've been avoiding this site for so very long. Partially out of having nothing to actually post, but also embarrassment. At first, it was just college, but then it became something else. I love writing, and cannot believe I ever stopped. And... well rather than go into great detail, I

    Regarding Sibling Rivalry

    I recently wrote a review of the Avengers, which will be posted by noontime Monday on my website. And I opened it thusly:

    Sometimes, you have to know what you’re doing. Where you’re going. What your purpose is.

    I never quite understood this until recently.

    Return to Sibling Rivalry

    It feels like so long ago that I last wrote anything fictitious.

    I actually enjoy writing. It's a great way to share your thoughts with the world. But lately most of my thoughts haven't been on the continuing adventures of fictitious ponies in the land of Equestria. Recently, I spent my time writing about Tron; Star Trek; and Littlest Pet Shop, my new favourite cartoon.

    Another cry for help!

    Once again, I must put out a call for editors. Particularly this week, I’m gonna need some real a-holes to look for any and all errors in my work.

    The reason I’m putting out this call once again, is that so far, I’ve failed to find any usable assistance. A problem which I detailed here.

I haven't written anything related to fanfiction, or any type of prose, in over five years. That's actually why I've been avoiding this site for so very long. Partially out of having nothing to actually post, but also embarrassment. At first, it was just college, but then it became something else. I love writing, and cannot believe I ever stopped. And... well rather than go into great detail, I feel it's easier to just link to a twitter thread where I've already explained this:

The final point? I'm back, baby. Though I fear my long absence has made people angry or ambivalent. I hope people are interested in seeing me continue all this. There's a good chance I'm extremely desperate for approval.

Just was surprised (and delighted) to see a new chapter of Sibling Rivalvry after 5 years. Welcome back! I just buried the fic in my thoughts. Glad it has come back to the living. :pinkiehappy:

Are you sure this isn't all just because I didn't say Happy Birthday to you on deviantArt? :rainbowwild:

Seriously, though, good to have you back. I'll admit the one I really want to see continue is Sibling Rivalry. Hoping you get more inspiration! :twilightsmile:

Don't recognize your name, but nonetheless I'm glad you decided to come back for another round!

I guess I'll have to give your stories a look...
:)

I. Should have commented this the moment it showed you returned--I've been grateful that Dibling Rivalry still is one of favorites, so to get a notification that it was updated was a genuine surprise. Anyway it's good to see you return BlackWidower; there have been so many that moved on, but it awesome to see a vet and a legend return...
