And lo, in the darkness of that most perilous age, the Year of our Lord 2020, as pestilence and wroth did grip the land, a writing-man strode forth unto the Barcast, slaying not less than a hundred and twenty minutes that stood before him. With his left hand he poured out a carafe of endless caffeination; with his right, he led a pone of stony gray, whose anger burned more powerfully than that time y’all got cut off in traffic. From Holder’s Boulder they yeeted all those who dared defile its sacred countenance, and with smoldering Arabica they resurrected the legion of souls who had fallen asleep...

EDIT FROM THE FUTURE: Hear the interview here! (Or here:)

Yes indeed: someone must have thought it’d be a good idea to interview me on the Barcast, because lo, it hath been made manifest!

Right back at ya, Rares

That’s right! Tune in this Saturday at 7pm Eastern / Xxm Whatever, and let the dulcet tones of my smooth, sexy^* voice carry you away on a journey into imagination.^** Better yet, feel free to ask a question at the link above! Want to ask something about your favorite story? Curious who’d win in a fight between Limestone and Rarity? And speaking of Limestone, how much art, merch, and plushies of her do I have up in my house?! You’ll never know unless you ask, and you’ll never get a better chance than this!

As for the title of this post: Moosetasm sent me the following classic after hearing the news. It’s well worth the listen if you haven’t heard it before, or recently:

Of course it’s also mind-blowing to realize that I’ve actually met Nowacking (who recorded it), as well as the Barcast crew, at BronyCon ‘19. Whether you call that horse fame or not (and I seriously don’t), it’s at least a reminder of the connection and community that’s still present in our fandom. Right now is a deeply weird time for me, not just in the world at large, but also in our home; we’re still in early days of navigating a significant health thing with one of the kids. Seems like most of my spare brain power (and then some) goes into making sure the family is as safe and stable as they can be in the midst of that. If that sounds myopic... boy howdy do I know it. But a lot of days, that’s kinda what I can pull off right now.

Renewing a connection to the distant world of not-that-long-ago sounds utterly invigorating. Maybe it’ll also help kick back open the floodgates of my unpublished work, which still both (A) exists, and (B) wants to get born.

I’m gonna have a blast on the ‘Cast, and I hope you have one with me.
