    Keeping Your Scale Focused

    I figure enough time has passed that I can be a little less leery of posting spoilers for Star Trek Picard Season 3. I won't go *too* in depth (and will spoiler tag a few things), but I do want to talk about the work that the writer/director Terry Malalas did with Episode 10 (the last) in particular.

    Cool art time

    I haven't commed a lot of art of my ponysona, but I thought this piece was nice enough to share. Artist is EnderBee.

    Reflections on Year Two

    When I wrote last year's post, I must admit that I expected to be a little more prolific than I ended up being.

    Such is life, I suppose.

    That said, I do think I released some good pieces this year, so I'll refrain from saying it was wasted.

    August 2022 update

    Hello,

    Been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, so a small update today.

    To lead off, much like last year I plan to attend Everfree Northwest this year. If you happen to spot me, feel free to say hello!

    (if you want - no pressure)

    Make Your Mark Review (spoilers)

    I'll start by saying that while this is not going to be a positive review, I'm going to try to keep it constructively negative beyond "this sucks", as I think the problems are fairly clear and easy to point out. And if you liked the show, that's great. I don't think less of you for it! I can be sometimes critical of things that don't bother most, and this review's going to reflect that.

August 2022 update · 9:28pm Aug 14th, 2022

Hello,

Been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, so a small update today.

To lead off, much like last year I plan to attend Everfree Northwest this year. If you happen to spot me, feel free to say hello!

(if you want - no pressure)

I expect to be doing more of the fun panels this year rather than the writing-centric panels - most are either repeats of last year or not things I have interest in participating in.

I had thought to submit to run a panel myself, but felt I didn’t have time to prepare something to my standards. Now, having seen some of the panels that were accepted, well, perhaps that was a mistake. (Whistling? Really?)

Next year, hopefully, I’ll have time to set up something for newer writers. I’ve long felt the Ponyfic community does a poor job cultivating new talent, and rather than just complain about it I intend to do several things about the issue. Of course those won’t be limited to conventions - I’ve got more general plans for here as well.


Now, as for stories, I am still working on several projects. I won’t give detailed updates as I don’t want to set expectations I can’t match, but I’m still planning to have Stone Sober Sovereign out sooner rather than later, and hopefully a few other pieces.


That’s it for this one - I said it would be short, and I’m holding to it.

Graymane out.

Hope to see you there!

... I really should look at the event schedule at some point.

Shouldn't be too tough, it's not *that* big of a con.

And yeah, I already threw together a rough schedule myself. That way I can program some downtime in.

See you there!
