... though not for lack of trying. In between a layoff and a vacation at my new job, I've been working the work of three people. (At least I've been earning double paychecks due to all the OT.) The death march hopefully should ease up this week.

As a reminder that I'm still around, new story in the morning! A minific that started life in one of the Quills & Sofas speedwriting competitions back in like ... mid-August.

And what a productive (albeit stressful) October it’s been. A fair few new stories have been started up, new chapters have been posted, and new ideas have arisen. This included:

- A new chapter for Mare of the Shadows

I like this episode. While it doesn't explore the topic in-depth, it does a pretty good job indirectly addressing Fluttershy's own growth through her brother and her parents. Also, we get to learn more about the relations between characters. The moral is rather appropriate and positive, too. Now then, unto the thoughts!

If you all will remember, some time ago I swore I'd attend the last Bronycon, but for a while things were looking rather rocky. Finances have not been great in Nyronus land, even by my usual abysmal standards, and my plan to save money in handfuls at a time was blown apart by spending more months than not barely in the black. Plus, shenanigans have diminished my tax returns greatly, which was my usual foundation for saving for Bronycon.

But, I have fortuitous news.

Does this mean I am not bad at romance anymore?

Hahahah.

God no.

One day I'll probably write an actual, straightforward romance. Today, sadly, was not that day. But maybe at some point, perhaps? I've read enough shitty fics to at least know what not to do.

On that note, sorry for the lack of updates on the "How Not To Write Romance" series. New one coming soon.

Soon.

And well, here's one of those users. If you've got a VCR, this may strike your curiosity up quite a bit! These are divided from one collection to another and they include a introduction to the tapes to tell you what collecting them is all about. NOTE: As these videos were all filmed in late 2010, some of the commentary may be partly or entirely outdated. A page-breaker for obvious reasons.

I have a confession to make. I’ve been having troubles finishing what I’ve been trying to do, and instead of doing what I should be doing in terms of writing (or making title images), I’ve been faffing about, playing games (such as Ni No Kuni 2, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Darksiders 3), and keeping an eye on Devil May Cry 5. Speaking of, that’s a week away... sooooooo yeah... Gonna be playing that very soon.

Holy crap, so many good games lately...

"That is IT!" screeched Trixie as she flung a hoof accusingly at nopony in particular. "The GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie has had enough!"

"What's she up to?" whispered Rarity with the most ladylike subtlty she could muster at 9 o'clock in the morning.

Starlight Glimmer shrugged and sipped her coffee. "No clue. Probably best we just let her get it out of her system, though."

Quick thoughts. I didn't really like the episode. Guess you could say that like cheese quesadilla joke, this episode was executed pourly.
Also Twilight may hate cheese sandwich.
