The final set of reviews for the FlutterDash contest. Sorry I missed posting this yesterday – I ended up feeling kind of terrible and slept for like 12 hours, and thus totally forgot to post this. Feeling a lot better today, though.

Many moons ago, I saw all those Multi-story-spanning alternate universes rampant at the time. I thought to myself, “I could do that.” As the title of this blog series may hint, it never truly congealed into a good story, let alone multiple stories. For today’s idea graveyard, I’d like to share the meandering process with you all. After all, as John Dewey said, “Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.”
I wasn't gonna continue this one, but what if Lemon and Sugarcoat invited Fleur over?
I'm thinking about writing a story with furries in it. yes, I am a furry. But I'm new to the fandom and I have no idea if there are rules or whatever else when it comes to writing. Do I use certain vocabulary? Like say, when I write Pony fiction, I write "Somepony" or "Anypony" do I do something like that when writing something with furries? Do I use names that sound a lot like animal names or normal names? I have many more questions so if somebody who's a furry could be so kind to educate me,

Outside the Jinglemas, I was part of a smaller secret Santa exchange. Which means I also wrote this story for Monochromatic. Well known RariTwi shipper isn't satisfied with her two faves, had to get greedy and throw in a third. Now, you might think that it's actually 50% more shipping, but a ship between two people creates one relationship. A three way ship is *three* relationships! This is, mathematically, 300% more ship for your ship.
Usually, as a writer, giving characters motivation for why they act the way they do or do things the way they do is very important. But in this specific instance, I found it more realistic to not have it. This was my response:
Spoilers for chapter 6 of FoE: Endless Horizon
Today's lessons learned:
-When you stop somewhere, take your car keys with you, apparently kids be crimeing
-When joining a Zoom call on public renovations, put you one-eyed wonder weasel away. Anyone who wants to see it or experience you doing a single arm workout with no weight will ask.
Today is the first day of my Hearth's Warming Reviews, and I do hope you enjoy these:

So, for the past while, I've been asking various questions to various people about countries from East and Southeast Asia. It all started when I thought to myself, "Hey, Japan is pretty cool!" And it just divulged and diverged from there. Now there are several countries in and around East Asia that I cultivate an interest in, including China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Vietnam. And by far—by far—the thing I love the most about them would be to learn their languages.
So I know it's been pretty evident that I'm not a particularly quick at updates. It's not because I'm busy or anything, I don't have a job. Art is my only source of income, and though commissions do keep me frequently busy they're not entirely the reason why I haven't been particularly active. It's just been hard. Everything has been.
In other things, this is not going to be a particularly positive blog, but it was a long time coming.
Watch this please if you are those people...

So the next time you decide to turn guys into gals for perverse reasons, or you just want to force them into relationships, remember Sonic and Tails.
Thank Faust for Unique.
And more so for his creator; me!
Oh, and RustyBuckets, you left your headlights on mate. And for the last time Officer Hot Pants, get your bloody hand out of my pocket! THAT'S NOT EVEN A POCKET!
Recently, I’ve been trying to be more productive. There are all too many times where I’m aware that I’m wasting my time, and I’m trying to make more of an effort to divert said “dumb time” into time where I actually accomplish something of value.
We’ll see how well it goes, but I’ve managed to put out a review set every other day since I started. So, progress, right?

I have a job now! While this is good because a) money b) money, it had cut somewhat into my previously near-unlimited potential writing time (I say potential because my muse is not nearly efficient enough to actually use that time effectively). The mysterious contest fic didn't get done, but it's going to be done sometime soon as a fully-fledged story. Complete with at least one sequel.
