Once upon a time, I dreamt of being a mad scientist when I grew up. After much consideration, I realised that science is quite hard. So I became a mad writer instead, which is much easier. True story.

    So for anyone who follows me but has not seen the latest chapter or Wild Card: Two of a Kind, here's the general message of my author's note:

    Song Lyrics Fiasco

    Apparently there's some butthurt rangers going round reporting fics that have song lyrics in them, which is against the rules or something. So yeah, I'm gonna be doing some editing on the earlier chapters to cut out lyrics and avoid getting my ass sued by people with more money than God.

    And that last sentence should pretty much sum up my feelings on this whole matter.

    My apologies

    No update for Wild Card this week I'm afraid. Just not feeling it at the moment. I'll be back when I manage to get out of this funk I'm stuck in at the moment. Honestly, I just want to get this story over and done with, but can't find the inspiration to write anything that doesn't look like complete tripe.

    Sigh

    See you next week probably.

    Wild Card Updates

    No chapter this week I'm afraid. I'm away on a visit to the university that I'll (hopefully) be going to in a couple of months as part of an induction weekend. Whilst this does mean that I don't have access to my computer (writing this on my Ipod at the moment) and, thus, cannot do any writing or uploading, it does mean that I do have access to a load of alcohol and some very cool people.

    Problems

    I have encountered a small problem whilst trying to write the next chapter of Wild Card. A small problem known as the Greater Demon of Writer's Block. Seriously, I have been staring at a piece of paper for about two days now, desperately trying to think of what I want to happen in the next chapter and so far all I've got is: 'maybe a battle of some kind?'

CGotG TVTropes page · 11:32pm Dec 7th, 2012

I'm assuming that most of you who are following me are doing so because of Wild Card (Let's just ignore those other embarrassing stories, they can go sit in a corner for a while.) So I'm once again assuming that you know what the Chess Game of the Gods is and what it is all about, maybe even some of you are devoted followers of the group. It is to these loyal zealots that I say this: "The sacrifices shall begin at dawn."

...They'll know what that means.

Anyway, enough rambling. I'm here to talk about our latest attempt at publicity. JJ Malcolm, who writes From Nobody to Knightmare and is one of the top moderators for the group, has recently started a TVTropes page for us. However, we've encounter the problem that we don't actually know what to put in there. So I am officially calling upon you, brave believers in all that is good and true (and ponies), to help us out here. Maybe some of you are Tropers from the bygone era of ancient yore. Perhaps some of you are enthusiastic young bloggers who have a fascination with getting lost on the infinite web of complexity that is TVTropes. Regardless, we need your help.

The page can be found here and is a little sparse at the moment. With your help, let's try to make it look as jolly an mind-blowingly addictive as possible.

Thanks for whatever aid you can provide,
Barrel-of-fun

Wenis'. All of them.

the sacrifices... please don't mean that these guys are all gonna start dying one by one... :fluttercry::derpytongue2:

What is TVTropes? I'm so clueless.

It's about time it got on there.

585019 TV Tropes is a website full of the various tropes and clichés that appear in pretty much all forms of entertainment. It is quite possibly the largest time sink on the internet. I've happily lost countless hours on that website without even noticing the time slipping away. I recommend you check it out, just make sure to bring some rope and climbing equipment with you.

Because you have no idea how far this rabbit hole goes, and neither do I.

585028 Thank YOU! I hate being confused, and bout 300 yard long rope should be good right?

585035 Should be, but you might want to put mountain rescue on speed dial. :pinkiehappy:
