    Random snippet to prove I’m still alive

    “I got the time off!” The familiar voice emanating from the landline handset was jubilant.

    A broad grin crossed Sunset’s face. “Great! Y’know, I can’t remember the last time both our vacation times lined up.”

    “Four years, seven months, and twelve days.” The dry, and dryly humorous, reply came back instantly. “But who’s counting?”

    So, uh, yeah, I’m here. I guess I should have mentioned it earlier, but it slipped my mind. Better late than never, I guess.

    Tidbits

    Yes, I’m still around, though I still have nothing substantive for Fimfiction—and I’m not sure when, if ever, I will again. All I’ve got at the moment is a handful of random morsels from my tiny but active mind.

    Not naming names [writing tips]

    As I’ve mentioned here and there, one of the (many) rules I generally abide by when writing for Twin Canterlots is: avoid using real-world names wherever possible. It’s harder than it seems—especially when one considers indirect coinages as well as direct references—and I don’t always succeed, but in general I find ways to skirt them most of the time. For the handful of people who

Dealing with a little housekeeping on the Twin Canterlots group subsite—primarily rationalizing story folders. What I have now is . . .

  • Main series: The core stories and anthologies of the Twin Canterlots setting, subdivided using the same schema as on my profile page.

    • Cook’s Tour—Cookie Pusher’s arc of four stories
    • Brass Ring—Rose Brass’s arc of four stories
    • Lectern’s Books—all of Lectern’s New and Used Books
    • Eloptic MachineVirga and the Campus
  • Contributions: Additional stories and anthologies in the Twin Canterlot setting. In the unlikely event someone generates enough material for a series, a subfolder would be created for it similar to the subfolders in the main-series folder.
  • Alternatives: Stories and anthologies borrowing characters or locations from Twin Canterlots. This is more likely to be an ad-hoc affair, since I’m not sure subfolders would work for it.

I know there are stories out there that would fit in one or the other of the ancillary folders, so they should be added when convenient!
