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

    I don't know for how long, because I never know these things.

    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

52 Project is still going · 1:35pm Aug 15th, 2020

And going, and going... I'm up to story 20 now.

Since my last update, I've done:

  • "Norris and the Plague Doctors", a novella about a kid in a zombie apocalypse which is thematically more hopeful than most zombie stories (and also has people dressed as plague doctors who are trying to find a cure)
  • "Therapy", about a vampire whose vampire-father (White Wolf calls this "Sire") is a narcissistic bag of dicks
  • "Thirteen", which is the origin story of Meg Santoro, the supervillain protagonist of my novel "The Cold At the Heart of the Light", and is very dark, featuring themes of child sexual abuse, prostitution, drug abuse, and murder
  • and also two stories based on songs and one based on Sandman, kinda.

I publish in a zillion places now, but the most up-to-date will always be my writing Tumblr, which I update every Friday with a new story (except the one time it had to be a Saturday because I was traveling.)

But I guess you want to know about pony fic! Well, I almost have the second chapter of "Elements of Magic" complete, and then I plan on moving on to the next thing, which I was originally hoping would be "Love, Friendship and Chaos" but now I'm thinking it might have to be "Not The Hero" because that one isn't supposed to have year-long hiatuses.

Definitely won't complain about a Not the Hero update.

I enjoyed “Therapy” and the creative solution (and hints at the larger universe), especially as a World of Darkness player. The “Crab People” one was awesome! As a Marylander, I could see where the story was going pretty early on, but I was on board for the ride!
