I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio · 12:06am May 27th, 2023
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.

Any of ya'll going to Ciderfest?
And if you are... wanna hang out?
I wanted to write up a “Day 2” and “Day 3” blog post, but, frankly, I was too tired to do either. But I took notes, so CLEARLY THIS IS TOTALLY CROMULENT.
Day 2 started with me going to Taco Bell for breakfast and getting some box thing for $5. It was actually fairly decent – I don’t get why people complain about Taco Bell. Sure, it only has like five ingredients, but they’re decent ones.
An incomplete list of people I met:
Bad Horse (he gave me a hat. And many people hats. The Evil League of Evil got a few glances, but while the initial reaction was muted, we made quite the collective impression)
Bradel
Admiral Biscuit
Pav Fiera
Not_a_hat (properly this time)
Cerulean Voice
Corejo
MaskedFerret (she said I’m not as scary as she thought)
Trick Question
Pascoite

Come find me at BABSCon! I'm a tropical pirate; I'll be wearing a different Hawaiian shirt everyday and possibly carrying around a ukulele. I'll be at the con today until 3:50pm, all day Saturday (when I'll consuming multiple legal and illegal substances), and most of the day Sunday. Come write a crappy fanfic with me! Come dance like you've never danced before with me! Come experience the MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP with me!!!
Hey everyone!
I'm headed home to Chicago this weekend to attend My Little Pony Fair and Convention in Schaumburg (I had pipe dreams of hitting up BronyCon or TrotCon instead, but they didn't turn out)! I know it's a long shot, but if anyone else is going to be there hit me up with a PM! I'd love to meet you at the convention!

I'm going to be at MLP-MSP with Ruirik and Solidfire this weekend! I will be wearing my cloud hop badge, which is identical to my avatar, so I should be pretty easy to find. I'm also going to be helping Ruirik with his table in the vendor hall, so you might find me in there if I'm not wandering around the convention.
Also, space unicorns.
Oh my gosh...
Remember the SDCC thing I mentioned yesterday? I think I might know!
That might have been the best con I've been to yet.
Highlights:
- 10-12 people showed up for my fanfiction panel, which was awesome considering I got a Friday timeslot and not a Saturday one. (Someone recorded it and I'll let anyone who might be interested know when/where it's up)
it is the end of Weirduary, for real this time.
And I am at a convention, so I am spent, exhausted, drained.
But I am probably uploading something pony next week. yay.
See you all then, have another great week aftet this Filthy Friday~.
Rather than post these on the first of the month like some, I prefer to aim them at significant Celestial events.
Thus it is on this <checks notes> Summer Solstice, I present to you a State of the Author.
I just found out that Discount Rates for HarmonyCon badges end tonight! If you wanted to go, make sure you register today!
I'll be at Harmony Con, running seminars, trolling, and hanging around all 3 days, so if y'all wanted to see me at a con, this would be the one to be at.
Hey!
So yea, Everfree Northwest happened. It was a whirlwind like most cons are, but with the added twist of Twilight's Book Nook, EFNW's first-ever bookstore. It went swimmingly. IIRC, we sold ~72% of our books by revenue and ~60% by unit (which is to say, a lot of the bigger, more expensive books sold well), and I signed a lot of autographs. So many autographs, holy crap. Apparently, y'all like Compati: all 25 copies sold out!
BronyCon was great! I was able to meet a bunch of writer ponies I have always wanted to meet, even though in a few unfortunate cases I had only the chance to say "hi" and "bye".
I hosted a writers' party on Friday, and then everypony came back for a dead-dog on Sunday. It was fun (though it's a bit harder to have fun when you're the host). I also inflicted a lot of pony music on the carpool I rode with.
Now I am this:
Hello, everybody!
I just got back from Louisville Comic Con, and boy, am I inspired!
Certainly as of late, I have been a bit inactive on this site. Well, I'm active on the forums, but I haven't updated any of my stories as of late. Well, I'm sorry for that, but I will be releasing stuff soon! I just have my time spread thin at the moment, but that is no excuse.
Anyway, Louisville Comic Con.
Gasp, smile, scream with joy, repeat.
Hey everypony! I am currently sitting down for the opening ceremonies of LooneyCon 4! If you want to see, join the LooneyCon Discord!
Hello, dear readers! I'm thrilled to announce my new panel FANfiction is FUNfiction at Hearth's Warming Con 2020 in the Netherlands. Come join me in the quest to discover what the differences between fanfiction and "regular" fiction are and how these two types of fiction influence and help each other. Be ready to participate in exciting writing challenges which will make your creativity flow free like a pegasus. There is something for everypony in FANfiction is FUNfiction. I hope
STORIES!
Well, actually several writers (including RBDash47, WandererD, Vic Fontain, Monochromatic) have a booth (#9) for Twilight's Book Nook at Everfree Northwest.
Are you visiting the con? Why not go say hi? Maybe get a book or two while you're there. We're here because we like stories, so go get some stories.
Are you not? ... I can sympathize. But hey, they've got the booth anyway.
