    Hey guys! What's new?

    So, I haven't been here in a good long while. I got the writing itch a while back, specifically for ponies and my old Betaverse fics. I might have something in the pipeline. I've got a few questions I'd like to ask the general pony-reading audience if you don't mind. Just so I can see if my writing style should be tweaked a bit for the modern audience.

    Stardrop's Lackluster Ending

    Hello everyone. I know I've been away for a while, but that's due to me deciding to finish stories before I post them to revise, edit, and alter them to give you all better stories to read. I don't feel free to do so when I post stories live. This results in me getting frustrated with how a story is shaping up and then dropping it. That wasn't a problem when I was younger, but it's become one as

    Anyone know artists who do illistrations for stories?

    I'm low key working on a story which I intend to complete before posting. I'm enjoying being able to go back and improve, tweak, and change things to make the best possible version of the story, and it's nice to not feel like I am bound to a strict schedule of uploads.

    A metatextual analisis of "The Bureau: XCOM Declassified" to show how it fits in the series timelines

    A lot of people like the rebooted XCOM series, and a lot of people also insist its lore is bad/nonexistent. This isn't true in my opinion, but is the product of the game that sets up the world for the series having been released a year after the first game in the series as a prequel, and also it sucks ass to play. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is not a good game. At all. The story is really good,

If you see boxes and not runes, let me know which device and browser you use.

Oooh, I see it

iPad and iPhone work fine.

I'm seeing the runes on my Android using Chrome

I see boxes on Chrome for my Samsung Galaxy Tab A6.

For me it looks fine.
I see runes.

Device info:
LG V30 - Android 9
Firefox Nightly 200724 06:05 (Build #22060613)

Pixel 3a, LoS, firefox, I see runes

I was curious so I went to grab my phone. Yep, see them clearly on both Android/Chrome and Windows/Chrome.

iPhone chrome works

5323236 Update your device with the full Unicode character set, then make sure your browser can use all of Unicode. There's really no excuse for them to not be doing that these days anyways. TLDR; if you can't see the runes, your device isn't capable of displaying every character in every language, which is dumb because we have a thing that exists called Unicode that is meant to do exactly that.

5323758 ... Unicode. The litteral global standard for text encoding. Which has existed since the early 90s, mabey the 80s... How do you not know about it? Its the reson you have Emojis at all. Those are not something Apple invinted, those are from Japan. They are just characters Jpan used as shortcuts which due to being part of unicode you can type on any phone if tyou knew the code (before there were emoji keyboards at least)

Obligatory "Not truly runes unless you're using the Futhark alphabet" comment.

Linux Chromium works.

Homemade runes are actually an awesome idea. I would by no means want to go through that work myself, but that's why it's even more awesome.
