Frenemies Talk, Chapter V: Appleloosa's Most Wanted

And back for the next episode. Wild West, Mild West, buffaloes, sheriffs, outlaws, tack piano music. That's what I was hoping for in this episode, expecting a dreaded highwaypony to strike fear into the hearts of locals and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to finally prove their worth and solve some real problems...

... yeah, about that. If this is the "most wanted" scenario in Equestria, I'm getting back to reading fanfictions.

So, all the previously released If You Give a Little Love parts should be out there again by next week, and I'm already working out how the new arc should work. I'm almost to 200 likes and 2500 views, and everything seems to be coming together. I should have a new part out every two weeks after the rereleases stop. While I could hypothetically have a new part every week...

Just wanted to toss a quick blurb on here saying that I'm going on a little break from FiMFiction (I know I just got here, but still!) until I finish up with school. I've always been bad with multitasking and juggling multiple sets of responsibilities, so I'll wait until I'm ready to put as much effort into What Lies Within as I think it deserves. Until then!

Fandoms get weird when the end of the fandom's base is coming. I've seen it multiple times. And with it comes the doomsaying.

The god damn doomsaying.

As we all know, Friendship is Magic is ending after the current season and as of this upcoming Saturday (6/22/2019), we'll officially have reached the halfway point of the final season in the US. We know that DHX has officially wrapped production on both Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls.

Continuing our look at bizarre modern fandom behavior, there's been this ridiculous obsession with details running amok of late. One of the more egregious examples I came across recently was in EQDs comment section (which some might say shows a complete lack of judgment on my part. These people are correct more often than not.)

So while I've been doing other things, I've also been planning out various stories for the Smash & Grab series. Here's some titles to tease you with.

Stealing Las Pegasus
The Rainbow Express
The Dortmunder Effect
Burn Applewood Burn
The Mareis Job

Roe vs. Wade

A Hoe Throwing Shade

I'm glad I checked the UrbanDictionary first, because I was going to use the verb "to cast" instead of "to throw".

I'm not too familiar with UrbanSpeak/GhettoTalk or whatever it's called.

Well, random post...

MrNumbers has been doing a screenshot Let's Play of XCOM 2 over in his blog, with the extra twist that all of his squaddies are based on his FIMFiction mates. He made the mistake was kind enough to include me in the roster, so I decided to liven up the proceedings by filing some after-action reports of my own. After all, someone's

Oh, right. I'm also working on a new story. Expect it soon.

Haven't seen the leaks yet, but hoo boy, Spoiled's maiden name. I had to pause the video for like five minutes, I was laughing so hard. And then Spoiled did a "how quaint" just like Mosely's only recorded line on the show...which made me laugh in my own weird ways that few people would catch onto.

Yep, you heard right, my famous fic Chaos Talk might just be getting a bonus chapter, focusing on the wedding of Discord and Celestia, plus the unwanted guests who may want to crash it! Expect Q, the Archangel Gabriel, Loki, and many more!

Getting back on the rant pony for a bit.

One of the criticisms I see lobbied frequently at Equestria Girls is that there's too many "slice of life" episodes.

As opposed to what in FiM? Just about 80% of the given episodes could be a "slice of life" stories. Yes, even ones where a character is called by the map. The big climactic events are the outliers, not the norm. Seriously, how many "big" events have we had over the course of the series?

I've been having humidity problems with my hair, so I allowed my sister to style and shorten my hair a bit this morning.

I think it turned out pretty nice, though it was crazy seeing my poor hair being clipped.

New length for the summer!!

She also wants to touch up my color now, oi give your sister an inch and she'll take a mile!!

Lol, maybe I might....

Also behold the better quality of my newish camera!

Yes; it's as the title says -- there was no update for What Lies Within in the last week. The latest part's in the making, of course, but school's running me ragged now that I'm down to the last two weeks of the semester and my writing motivation has been directed at my English class since I get graded for those works and not the ones (er, one) I do here.

I'll get back to work soon, but please be patient with me until then.

Welp, my uncle just pissed me off (what a shock).

Extras.
That's what I like to call them, Extra scenes (or chapters). Extra n°1, in particular, happens the day after the end of the story, but they are not going to necessarily have a chronological or correlative order.
I find that this way, I can tell the stories that I want to tell instead of writing a forced sequel that would be as good as those second movies made for the sake of making a profit. It gives me more freedom, I think.

Overall, not bad. Although I do have some problems with it.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm spreading myself far too thin. That I'm being far too ambitious, and not putting enough time into thinking about what the impacts of what I do ultimately will be.

It's nights like tonight where I feel like I have to take a step back, and look at what I'm doing. What I've been doing. Is it still worth doing? For what reasons am I doing it? What impact does it have on me? Or on those around me?

It's like I'm trying to be multiple people at once.
