    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

Rules Update for Quotable Trick Contest · 1:25pm Aug 3rd, 2021

I've greatly streamlined the rules for my weekly Quotable Trick Contest (click to see update) and clarified a couple of things.

Clarifications: you can use "find in page" in your browser, but nothing that searches multiple pages (History search, Google, etc), and you must use Fimfiction only (no local storage). Note that "find" may not work depending on how I post the quoted material.

First game is tonight at 8pm ET! :pinkiehappy:

Thanks, and good luck to those participating!
(The phrasing doesn't show a lack of interest on my part, just a combination of a scheduling conflict with getting the quote right when it releases and a low appreciation of my chances for recognizing it. I do plan to take a look; I just don't think it's at all likely I'll find it before someone else. :))

...Well, I've no idea what I said there that was particularly silly, but as whatever I did by accident appears to have worked better than I expected what I was trying to do to, I think I'll count that as a success still. :D

I just mean you worry too much about how you what you say is perceived and whether or not you're behaving appropriately, as though you might offend somepony or hurt their feelings when this is in fact super unlikely.

You are perfectly fine. :pinkiesmile:

...And am apparently pretty obvious about it. Er, sorry? Or, should I not say there here, wait, or should I not ask --
Um.
So, uh, yes, correct!

And thank you for the attempted reassurance. :)
Though unfortunately, while it's very nice to know that here, and I might even successfully internalize that for a general "with you", that would still leave, well, everyone else for me to still worry about saying something wrong to (or, indeed, remaining silent at the wrong time to).
Still, I do appreciate the attempt, and its applicability at least to you; I shall certainly try to remember that. :)

(...And then I caught myself starting to agonize about whether the wording of this comment was good enough anyway. [facehoofs] Well, caught it, at least. Posting!)
