    Dropping writing

    I'm about to fucking leave this shit behind. After Council is fully posted, I won't write a single word. It's just all pointless. For what, that 30 upvotes? Please. I'm a relic of the past, that thinks he can make it with his relic-of-the-past stories. I just won't bother. I'll just walk off the stage, thank you.
    There is no shame in admitting defeat when you're beaten, innit?

    Progress update - what is to come

    Hello to everyone reading this (all five of you, yes)!

    If you've been wondering about the radio silence recently, and thought I abandoned what I was writing, then I have some good news: My story focusing on Luna and Celestia is almost complete. (I'd say, the manuscript is 95% written). The way I put that (the absence of "Princess", and also, the order of their names) is on purpose.

Being featured, how does it work? + Jinglemas 2021 · 7:02pm Nov 10th, 2021

Hey my dear Followers!

Here comes another (mostly) unnecessary blog post from your homie, Neckbeard.
So here's the deal: I wrote this really silly one-shot story, the one I tagged, and how, I'm still not entirely sure, but it got featured. It was in the featured box for three days straight, and it even hit the #1 spot for like, half a day. I know this shouldn't be a big deal, but this was the first time it happened during my short Fimfic career.

Now the funny thing, this story wasn't too good, or anything, just a random little blurb. It was meme tier. Yet a lot of you seemingly liked it. Or at least enjoyed it enough to spend the 10 minutes or so with it that constitutes as a view. So yeah, that's it. If whatever I plan writing for the future will get even half the attention as this got, I will be a very happy man. Of course, that depends on me. And kinda on you too. Fimfic seems to sway towards giving more light of day to one-shots, from both the writer and reader side. But I don't want to seem judgy. It's just a thought, maybe I'm not even right about this.

ALSO, JINGLEMAS 2021

I've entered this fun-looking Jinglemas 2021 event, and I urge you to do the same, or at least consider it. At least that's what Mr. Shakespearicles said unto me, to spread the word. Well, there you go, I did so.
But really, this seems like a fun little event, and will probably serve as a good challange to me, as any kind of prompt can hit me. And of course, I will do everything in my power to make that story a reality. Hit up the event page for more details, so you know what's up. That is all really. Now go on with your day, and read/write some horsewords!
Cheers!
