    Heading out

    As many of you suggested, why not just leave my account up and stop logging in, so that's what I'm doing.

    Deleting account soon

    I mostly have kept this here to get feedback on King of the Dedad but apart from the occasional favorite or upvote, there's not much to be had. I write original stuff now adays and as much as MLP will always be a huge part of my history, I don't really do ponies anymore. I still listen to the music for both MLP and EQG but that's about it. I'm also tired of the "notifications get deleted after 2

    Go watch the G5 movie

    I absolutely loved it! It had similar but slightly different humor to it that I don't know how to describe. There's more variations in how ponies look just from how they're physically built. They give a pretty big nod to G4 but leave plenty of room open to explore what happened between then and now. My only criticism is it was a bit more PG than I would have liked but I understand why. The

    KOTD Finished

    Two days ago, at 5:53am, I finished my final chapter. There's four in total and I'll be posting them all over the course of 4 days, one per day. Let me tell you, it's been a ride. I've had so many ups and downs, disgustingly inappropriate reviews, amazing fans and I learned a lot about myself. I used KOTD to vent when I couldn't afford a therapist and those chapters were some of my best. Are

KOTD Chapter 64 · 1:16pm Jan 20th, 2020

Every single time I finish a chapter in GDOCS, I transfer it to Word for a spellcheck. Then when I copy and paste that into fimfic, the formatting gets obliterated! I'm so goddamn sick of spending an entire day trying to trouble shoot word.
New chapter in a day or so.

That's an annoying problem, but it comes down to the way Word formats things with it's Local Fonts which differs from the Web Fonts both GDocs and FimFic (I assume) use. You can try to use Web Font replacements that are close, but not exactly the same to Gdocs Web Fonts. Here's a list I found:

Local Font1-------------------------Web Replacement Font1
If Times New Roman---------> Tinos
If Arial------------------------------> Arimo
If Courier New------------------> Cousine
If Calibri---------------------------> Catamaran
If Cabria---------------------------> Petrona

Avoid the ones on the left, and replace them with the ones they correspond to on the right.1 This may fix some (as the font replacements are similar not the same) formatting issues, but you might have to write out each chapter in Gdocs, spellcheck in Word, then move back to Gdocs for proper reformatting before transfering it to FimFic.
Gdocs -> Word -> Gdocs -> Fimfic

If that doesn't work you could try manually spellchecking things over and over again, which is tedious I'm sure. An editor or proofreader could lighten the load too (I don't know if you already have one or not). Anyway, I hope that helps in some way.
