    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:

Wolf Report · 7:20am Feb 20th, 2022

I'm going to talk about stuff I have planned for the near future, but to do that I need to talk about stuff going on in the present first. Since that is probably depressing, here is a picture of Ocellus informing the other members of the Hive where the pollen :heart: is located:


It's right here, bitches.

Anyway...

My medical condition has worsened over the past two months. The small fiber neuropathy is a bit more noticeable, and I'm starting to have joint pain and stiffness pretty regularly. But the big problem is the fatigue has gone way up. Most of the time I'm upright it feels like I just finished running a marathon, except without the runner's high. I get winded sometimes merely by standing up. Sitting up is tiring, so I spend a lot of time on my back wasting time on my phone.

Depression is up. Motivation is nil. It's hard to engage with people, even to say hi to friends online. Thoughts are dark. The verbal tic is still a constant annoyance. Drugs help make it all tolerable, but only just so. Mom is succumbing to dementia pretty quickly now, and Dad has some health problems that have us all planning just in case very bad things happen. My husband's health could be better. My health is great except for the suffering and not knowing what is over the horizon. But honestly, I'm blessed in so many ways that I can't complain. I'm only mentioning all this so you know why I'm so quiet lately.

I don't know if I'll be able to continue teaching. I love doing it, but it takes so much out of me now. Maybe I'll be okay after Summer, or maybe I'll take a year off, or maybe I'll need to retire and go on disability (or try to). If I do retire I can "teach" in other ways, due to the internet and all, but it'll more likely be a hobby I don't get paid for.

Okay, on to projects.

I'm going to be moving a hoofful of stories to a different account here on Fimfiction to reduce harassment. You don't need to worry about this. If you watch a story, you'll get a notification after the move.

For new stuff, there are fics I've been working on for years that I'm still working on. Right now the top of the queue include these stories:

  • a fic I'm doing that pertains to a certain brony musical artist (still secret)
  • an adventure with Spike being stuck in an alternate Equestria with a curious twist
  • a T-rated gender-based horror story for kids sorta
  • minific character piece on Thorax, Fluttershy, and Derpy

There are others in the pipeline, but I think those are the most likely to explode out of my hooftips next. Maybe 60% chance it's one of those four.

I can't wait for the end of the semester, but I worry I won't be able to be productive even when I'm not bogged down with teaching. I just have to take things a day at a time.

hugs. I'm sorry you and those around you are struggling. Here's a terrifying Sunny pic to make you smile.

the picture is so terrifying, it only exists in your mind <.<

Lol oops I literally had that did I leave the stove on feeling after making this comment. derpicdn.net/img/view/2022/2/18/2809189.png

Oh god, why is that image everywhere?!

5637873
It's because the G5 shorts feature pony legs bending in ways pony legs do not bend.

Take care, Trick. I hope things improve for you.

5637876
Yes, and it is absolutely cursed, lol

I've been referring to them as "human calves" because that's what they look like.

Oof. I'm sorry things have been going so badly for you and yours, even if, yes, they could be going worse. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that things are so bad.

I'm healthy, have friends and family who love me, and am warm and comfortable. So I can't really complain. I'm hopeful things will improve at some point.

Depression though.

*flail?*

Also, “explode out of one's hooftips” reminds me of Centaurworld. ♪ I can shoot tiny versions of myself from my hooves ♪
