    300 views in three days!

    I’m no longer very active on social media, so it’s been a while since I felt the giddy rush of affirmation! :rainbowkiss: But since I posted my most recent story it has gotten over three hundred reads in under three days and a whole lot of comments. So color me dopamine and serotonin flush!

    Another year, another story (part deux)

    I’m finally finding some more time to write. I was inspired to finish writing this story by Bicyclette’s Sci-fi Contest III, but missed the deadline by 40 minutes (as they say, read the fine print!)

    By the way, I began writing this story almost a year ago based on some real life events that many of us share ever since COVID changed how the world meets. I hope you enjoy it!

    Another year, another story

    It’s probably not the best thing that I need the motivation of a group activity (Jinglemass) and a multiple-day-off holiday to get me writing again. But this is where I am, and that’s how it is. I Hope you’ve all had a great holiday season so far, and best wishes for a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

'Tis the season... · 3:55pm Dec 9th, 2012

The last few days have been a major joy to yer ol' Dafaddah:

- The Pro and Anti TCB groups seem to have buried the hatchet. There are folks I respect on both sides of that divide, but the exchanges had often become bitter (mea culpa). This restores (for me at least) some of the feelings I had about the FIMFiction community when I joined a year ago, and that had been tarnished by this whole debacle.

- I have just published a new chapter in my Box of Chocolates entitled "Hearth's Warming Eve Carols". I have also started a thread to see if anypony else wants to contribute. Please keep in mind my disclaimer: I was born and raised catholic so I want to make be clear that any submission must respect BOTH the source material AND the MLP:FIM canon. A note to make things easier (and less religiously awkward): I redirect all reference of worship to Harmony and not to the Princesses, as they clearly don't seek worship in the cannon, and exchange the central event "the birth of Jesus" for "the birth of Equestria".

- The next chapter of Renaissance Pony is in edit stage and essentially follows the events of Hearth's Warming Eve as they could have occurred "historically". I take the HWE pageant to be an allegory of the actual events (written by Celestia and Luna?), so what happens follows the spirit of the HWE pageant, but does not take it as a literal representation. Of course, I know this is likely to generate some flames. I'll survive.

VBR
