Howdy folks! Well, I had a fun weekend. I ended up driving Thursday afternoon (managing to get to Portland at 3pm, just in time for the traffic to go to hell) and drove back Sunday evening (managing to hit a section of I-5 where they closed all but one lane at 10 PM, creating a huge traffic jam in the middle of nowhere), and had a total blast the whole time in-between.

Due to various circumstances beyond my control, such as a local power failure, working two hours late today, packing for EFNW, and general procrastination (okay, that one’s on me), this blog post is gonna be a bit rough. In fact, it’s

Harmonic bonds aren't the most predictable of spells. Sunset learned this the hard way with Twilight. Involving Moon Dancer will make things either extremely complicated, or extremely simple. And that has nothing to do with harmonic bonds.

I think there might be a week delay for the next chapter for EFNW. It's still up in the air. We've got one more until the... well, you'll find out. Heh. ^^;;

I'LL SEE YOU EFNW PEOPLE IN A FEWS DAYS!

I hung out with a bunch of people since I got into Seattle on Thursday. A partial, horribly incomplete list would include:

Xepher (rooming with him, cool dude as always, fair bit of presence IRL. Good at running panels, very efficient and good at sparking/spurring conversation)

Winston (Cool dude as always; a bit quiet, but nice to hang out with and chat with. He’s on the staff, so secretly rules over us all, like Xepher)

Mudpony (I’ll read that story, I swear!)

Back again for more recommendations from the EFNW 2016 Scribblefest. I've managed to scavenge a fair bit of variety for these three, which is pretty neat, and maybe you'll find something you might enjoy giving a read.

If you've not already checked out some of the other blog posts I've done, be sure to give them a look: there are some pretty decent stories in some of my previous recommendation blogs, so do give them a look if you have the time. And now, onwards!

Everfree Northwest.

For some reason (which might or might not have involved a bribe), I’ve been considered horse famous enough to be a community guest at Everfree Northwest!

Hello again. This time around I've been trying to look for stories that got less exposure than some of the others I looked for in the hopes of finding some really good ones that might have simply fallen by the wayside. Unfortunately, that plan seems to have backfired since a few of them didn't really do much for me. However, this is why I haven't read other, heavily viewed stories with very large ratings. In fact, some of these stories had so few votes that they simply didn't show up.

I'm working on a State of the Horizon post, but in the meantime, a few quick con-related things:

Oh boy, today was a day. Rather than give you a long, ranty blogpost about the two delightful comebacks I got to work on (one which had a failure which had nothing to do with what I'd fixed on the car previously and the other which had a recurrence of an issue that the customer had chosen not to repair the last time we saw it) or discuss the Ford Ranger that I'm diagnosing for a no-start (in the case of this Ranger, no-start is in everyone's best interest, because then the owner can't drive it

For once I’m going to try and be on top of things and write about the adventure as it happens. Or nearly as it happens—that’s a thing you can do on a train!  In part, the late posting is due to the amount of time it took to sort through pictures . . . you’ll see why if you read along.  Those of you with slow internet connections, sorry.

Hey hey it's suddenly October and I think this is the third month in a row that I've posted a state-of-the-author. Or maybe not, I'm not gonna check back and see.*

So there's been ... an awful lot going on in my life lately. And as is usual for me when there's an awful lot to say, I lock up and go silent, and nothing gets said. Alas, this is not the State of the Author post where I catch everyone up — I'm still working my way up to that one. At least I can break my silence with this in the meantime.

A while back--and I can’t be bothered to check my notes or my blog posts where I might or might not have announced that this was a thing that I was going to do--I mentioned that I was catching up on some of the Prompt-A-Days that I missed back in the day.

I seem to recall someone complaining that it was going to be a second-person fic.

Deal with it, someone.

No seriously I've been locked in my room forced to code, what year is it? But, work aside I come bearing a new episode HUZZAH! This week we uncover the horrible truth behind ponyville in Tired Old Man's "Letters From an Irritated Princess". Now this video is a tad different as the fic is freaking long and still going. So this is a first part in the series
