IN WHICH I DO NAUGHT BUT EXIST
Well, this was okay. I enjoyed it. So cringe-worthy, but not really bad. I think the central message for the episode, on how to cope with achieving your dream and not quite being able to get things the way you want it shouldn't hinder you from making the best of it all, is rather positive and helpful. Also, quite a bit of fun here. To the rapid-fire thoughts!
Evening folks, how are ya all?
I realize I've been pretty quiet on this site lately. Most of my blogs have been update blogs, and they've really been minor ones at that. I've published a few chapters of Cyclosa, but that's one of my lesser viewed stories so I imagine the least likely to perturb anyone. And yet its the one i'm prioritizing cause I'm apparently dumb.

If you gonna bring up what happened days ago, please be civil and I promise I won't be rude. If anything, when people move on way too early, there's no closure whatsoever. I did break a rule but I thought it was acceptable when I finished chapter 2 (Where Applejack and Rarity is part of but not the 1st chapter) before I published this story. And when I brought up Expensive Universe Unlike Any Other, it WASN'T a jab to the person who took down this story, it's mostly that fact it got approved
I just posted a very personal story for the Pride and Positivity event:
A sequel, set many years in the future, is on the way. More blog soon.
Also, this tool to search FiM scripts is awesome.
As mentioned in my blog, the FlutterDash group ran a contest, challenging folks to write a FlutterDash story for a $60 prize.
We got 19 entries. 19!
Apparently people think they’re adorable together. Or at least make a good pair of friends, as a good number of the stories ultimately ended up being more about their friendship than them nuzzling.
So it's not often that I just share random things in my blogs unless I'm asked to, but I decided to make an exception for this instance, because it's just too awesome to not share. As you can see, someone set aside quite a bit of time (around half a year) to remix/remake the soundtrack of Cave Story in FamiTracker -- so that means, yes, it is indeed true 8-bit sound, and it utilizes the VRC6 chip extension as well.
I'll admit I MIGHT have clicked on the video for...other reasons...besides her cosplaying Quiet, but still it's a good cosplay.
One, no Christmas story, if that wasn't obvious. I blame myself and.... mostly myself. And Mass Effect! With it's interesting characters and kind of not so good combat and the fact the only alien I can bang if the jailbait from the race of blue lizard-squid lesbians. I want my adorkable gypsy hypochondriac tech fetishist now, not later.
What was I talking about? Oh right, I'm supposed to be a writer. It's in your fucking name!

I wrote a piece of original fiction over the weekend – the first such piece I’ve written since late 2013. I had some fun writing it, and I think I shall be doing more of it and see how it goes.
But don’t think that means I’m giving up on ponies. Original fiction is business. Ponies? Are fun.
Speaking of fun, I reviewed five more stories, including one that really impressed me.

I'm sorry, guys. I lied to all of you. It is absolutely inexcusable, and I understand that now. It was a moment of poor foresight and irrational decision making. This breach of trust will take a long time to patch, with much efforts on either side. I will do everything in my power, with the help of some trusted appointed individuals, to bridge this gap that has been formed between us. There is nothing I'd like to do more than help you all in however you may need to reconcile with my mistakes. I
Happy Monday, folks! I’m actually writing this on Sunday, in an effort to actually have something done ahead of time; I’m actually hoping to spend Monday trying to work on one of my own stories, trying to get something up towards a real first draft done, so I can actually publish a story. If only I could decide which one to focus on…
Ah, well. In the meantime, enjoy some reviews of some recent tales.

I went into My Little Pony: The Movie today with the expectation that it would just be "a'ight". It was so much more than just a'ight.
Go see it if you can. This movie needs (and deserves) all the support we can give it!
Also we may have a new contender for the title of Best Pony
Starlight Glimmer: No. I'm Starlight.
Ember: Right. I'm sorry, but you can't blame me. You [and Twilight] both look and act so much alike.
Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer: What?!
Ember: I'm just saying you're both purple ponies with purple hair. You both have cutie marks with sparkly things.
Starlight Glimmer: [chuckles] Mine's more of a glimmer. Heh.
Ember: How is that different?
The Cutie Mark Crusaders field guide everyone deserves, taken from DK's Amazing Book of My Little Pony. Them including Babs and Gabby and canon confirming five Crusaders just about made my day today. That, and I saw an eight-week-old puppy in the bookstore.
Yesterday, that is.
I think I used up the last of my luck for the year.
Can you believe I bought this not knowing that she's so ridiculously overpriced? Heck, I was worried I paid too much! She was going to be a potential Christmas present for my sister, but after learning how much people are selling this thing for?
