    Keeping Your Scale Focused

    I figure enough time has passed that I can be a little less leery of posting spoilers for Star Trek Picard Season 3. I won't go *too* in depth (and will spoiler tag a few things), but I do want to talk about the work that the writer/director Terry Malalas did with Episode 10 (the last) in particular.

    Reflections on Year Two

    When I wrote last year's post, I must admit that I expected to be a little more prolific than I ended up being.

    Such is life, I suppose.

    That said, I do think I released some good pieces this year, so I'll refrain from saying it was wasted.

    August 2022 update

    Hello,

    Been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, so a small update today.

    To lead off, much like last year I plan to attend Everfree Northwest this year. If you happen to spot me, feel free to say hello!

    (if you want - no pressure)

    Make Your Mark Review (spoilers)

    I'll start by saying that while this is not going to be a positive review, I'm going to try to keep it constructively negative beyond "this sucks", as I think the problems are fairly clear and easy to point out. And if you liked the show, that's great. I don't think less of you for it! I can be sometimes critical of things that don't bother most, and this review's going to reflect that.

April 2021 update · 5:22pm Apr 1st, 2021

Hello folks,

Shorter update this month, largely a rehash of last months update.

Published in March:
The Battle of Carousel Boutique - Not a fic I had planned, but when the idea struck I decided to run with it. It went better than I expected, and I'm grateful for the kind response to one of my first real attempts at a little comedy/romance.


The following projects are in the pipeline, starting with updates from last month's post:

  • Coronal Imbalances: I won't lie, this probably won't be out this month, unless I either get a lot of spare time or decide to break my rule and publish chapters before the story is done. That said, I did make a lot of valuable progress on it in March, so I feel safe setting a tentative date of May for this one. I'll likely post a teaser at some point in April.
  • Discordant Legacy: Still in progress. Work's been slow on this one, largely due to some indecision on exactly how I want to structure it; either individual vignettes with an overarching narrative, or more of a unified slow tragedy.
  • Untitled Twilight/Rainbow Dash story: I haven't done anything with this one, honestly. The idea is still there, but it's not a high priority. I'm not ready to mark it as cancelled just yet.
  • NEW: Let Me In, Twilight Sparkle: Yes, it's another TwiLuna story, though with a different take than The Battle for Carousel Boutique. Without giving too much away, this fic is a soft follow-up to Twilight the Triumphant, or at least some of elements raised therein. I don't want to mislead anyone, no demons here, but I hope it will still deliver as an inner look at one of Equestria's four princesses. Should be out the first full week of April.
  • NEW: A Celestia not quite crackfic: Let's just say it's a ship that's a little off the wall. I do plan to have fun with this one. Not going to be lewd, but should be some tender loving comedy.

There's at least one other project I don't plan to talk about yet, but isn't planned for April anyway.

As always, comments or questions are welcome. Thanks for reading!
