Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

    Dream log, epic Fluttercord edition

    Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

    So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.

    Dammit, just discovered a friend here's been dead for two years...

    Today I learned that Jordan died in April 2021, and I had no idea. I was re-reading some of my older fanfics, saw his comments, thought, "Huh, I wonder how Jordan's doing", and the answer is, he's not. Dammit.

    FUCKING DONE FINALLY

    "The God of Breaking Rules In The Land of the Dead" is one of my oldest stories on this site. It's not my oldest incomplete -- "The King Who Would Be Man" and "Stumble In My Footsteps" are both older, all part of my initial rush in 2013-14 when I'd first gotten into the fandom and the writing came like a river. But it is old, posted almost 10 years ago (closer to 9 years, 11 months), and

    A thing y'all should maybe know

    I may or may not make the change here on Fimfiction, but on Archive of our Own and Fanfiction.net, I am changing my handle to Kaleidolon. Mainly as a branding differentiator between fanfic and profic. It's not like I can hide that Alara J Rogers writes fanfic, not after posting it to the Internet for literally 29 years, but when I get published in real life I want it to be slightly

Nanowrimo post-mortem, and Advent Calendar · 11:23pm Dec 2nd, 2019

So. I achieved half a Nano -- 25K words on my original novel -- while also sneaking in another 15K on things like The Rise of Chaos and some ficlets. What I learned is that it's really hard for me to stick to writing just one thing in a month.

So this month I'm going to write what I want, but my aim is mostly to write things I can post online, which means catching up on some MLP fanfics!

I remember as a kid how much I loved Advent Calendars, where you open the little door and get a picture for every day before Christmas. So I am going to do (or try to do) an Advent Calendar for fic, where I report word counts on stuff you guys care about, every day that I manage to produce them. (I am not arrogant enough to think I really can do every day in 24.)

As judging from the fact that this is Dec. 2, I am likely to post this info pretty late, but if I get anything written at all on Dec. 24th it will certainly not be late at night, so I should be able to catch up at the last second if needed.

Anyway, 2442 words on Not the Hero for Dec. 1.

Hey, that's 40k words you wouldn't have written otherwise, right? :D Good job!

Wonderful, something to look forward to during the Christmas season!

Huzzah! Writing is good, and your Advent calendar idea sounds cool. Here’s to it!

Congrats then
