Back in April, I started on a set of Read It Now reviews. I ended up reading a couple stories for it, and then forgetting I had started a review set and never finishing it.

Today, as I went to read some recent stories, I realized that I had an unfinished review set, and as it wasn’t really quite timely, I merged it into this.

Hello everyone! Well, today, I thought I’d provide a little bonus: a timeline of the major events of The Iron Horse stories, including the major works that they appear in. If you’re trying to follow the events of the story or if you’ve missed some of the stories in the canon, this is a chance to get caught up. Let’s get started…

Texas's propensity for doing stupid shit with its educational system is well-known at this point.

But this may be perhaps my favorite one so far:

Yeah, just a little head's up, folks - the next chapter is going to be just a little late. I was aiming for Sunday or Monday... but Tuesday or Wednesday is more likely. I just finished the chapter and submitted it to the editors today after things kept getting in the way all darn week. Still, it's just an extra day and I think you guys are just going to wub it.

Since The Iron Horse hit 1000 likes a little while ago, I asked Greenfinger to come up with a little something to mark the occasion as a side project. Here we see Turing Test and her siblings each doing their own thing. Thank you so much for all your support these last few years!

Merry Christmas, folks!

It’s been a year since I launched the not-a-contest, and in that time there have been 31 stories written specifically (or not specifically) for the group.

That’s pretty good! Keep ‘em coming!

Taking just a short break from trying to finish up this fking chapter here for a little something I've wanted to talk about for a while: illustrations!

As I've mentioned on occasion, I am a teacher, and this year has left me too busy to do as much on FiMfiction as I wanted to. But Summer Vacation is starting soon, and I want to spend it writing, and that means MORE STORIES! That's the gist of things, but check below the break for more details!

Nice and toasty hot off the presses, the next chapter is finally here! And it's a big one!

Hey folks! The Porter Robinson show I mentioned in my last post was great, and yes, of course... he did Turing Test's unofficial theme song "Sad Machine."

You're gonna carry that weight. (And, er, sorry it's a few hours late. I wanted to get it as close to perfect as possible. Thank you all so much for your comments and support. It has made this experiment more rewarding than you know.)

I'll get right to the point: I found out this morning that my grandfather passed away. He was 89 and on the wane, so it was sudden, but not totally unexpected. I'm holding up all right, but I'm making an emergency flight home to be with the family.

Between that, some work stuff I have to take care of, and all the other stuff involved with this sort of thing, there's no way I'll be able to finish this next Iron Horse chapter. It has been worked on, but it's not there yet.

Hello everyone! This is just a blog post to let you know that I am, in fact, still around. Also, more importantly, I am writing another story. It's just been slow-going. The simple explanation for my recent silence is just that I've been getting used to my new job. Part of that is just adjusting to a new routine, and the other part is the crushing existential angst of switching careers and wondering if I made the right decision and just need to grow into it, or if I'm just settling for
