So, how's everyone's bracket doing after the first week? I, uh, might have had Louisville in the finals, so... yeah. Hey, at least I don't need to pay too much attention for the rest of the month!

Which, of course, means more time for review-reading! Head down below the break to see what I've been up to on my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings, over the past few weeks.

I recently competed in the writeoff minific round, and you know what that means... I'll be publishing a new story soon! Or, I'll have a new chapter in my minific collection. Could be either-or, really; look for To Be Forgotten to show up later this week. I'll probably blog a little bit about it too, even if it's just a "by the way, it's here now, go read it" dealybob.

It occurred to me, as I was assembling screenshots of Carrot Top from The Gift of the Maud Pie to include in tomorrow's blogpost on OMPR, that I do a lot of stuff with Carrot Top. Which is fine, of course; I wouldn't if I didn't enjoy it, and she is definitely the cutest representative of a race/cartoon defined mostly by their/its cuteness. But it all happened gradually enough that it kind of snuck up on me; my most popular early

It's been a long weekend. A good one, but a long one, visiting friends and family. And getting home much later than I planned to, and barely making it to work on Monday as I continue to try to make up the sleep and energy deficit I'm running. I can't even tell myself I just need to make it to next weekend, because that's the barbershop district convention... that my barbershop chorus is running. So next weekend will be herding a few thousand old men around and trying to make sure everyone

Hey guys. Like I mentioned in a blog not long ago, I mentioned I was considering doing a sort of 'authors notes' on Titanium Jack, since the story went through a lot of iterations and changes during writing, from the initial concept to the actual writing. What I'm going to do (for those who are interested) is look at some of the stuff I thought about and worked through. Who knows! Some of you might find it interesting.

So it turns out I've never actually used the blog feature before! Huh. My blog posts list is all shiny and unused, but it's time to break that mint condition and actually write something.

So hi! I'm Wanderling. I'm female, from the UK, early twenties and an absolute Twijack devotee. (That's how you introduce yourself even after being on the site for four years, right?)

I only just found out about this now, so don't blame me that I'm 8 days late. Anyway, Crystal Wishes challenged everyone to write about somepony (or ponies) that you don't normally interact with, but admire, look up to, or just want to praise.

And, yes, there's an and, I hereby challenge you to do the same!

So, here we go!

Yep, finally put one up here. As the author notes say, its not a new one, its an old one, third version actually. Each version has been longer, the second only by a little bit as the changes were minor, but this one was a ground up re-write that grew by some 350 or so words. Nothing really great there, bit of BDSM, not real surprising considering my other writings (look for Fluxxx on FA and Mr Phibb in various places on the web), but still something fun.

Before I get started, I wanted to thank everyone who has been reading since the beginning, and everyone who is just now catching back up. It really means a lot to me, and I hope you're all excited to see where this ride goes next. As of right now, I've got one little arc to finish up, and one more arc to write before I'm done. Conservative estimates are around 7 to 8 chapters, but knowing me, it's going to be more.

Spoilers ahead for the latest chapter of Filly Friends, Wub. Duh.

Okay, I want to start this off with a challenge: anyone commenting on this blog, try to do so without commenting on whether or not Scoot's parents were right or not. I saw the discussions way back when it aired first, I only today saw the episode itself, I have made my own mind up on the matter. Resist the urge to get your dopamine hit by trying to illicit a knee-jerk reaction. In fact, no comments on any of the season's quality or lack thereof. Got it? Good.

What's this? I wrote another piece for this crap pie? I should post it.

On a serious note, I've been looking over some of the characters in the story and taking note on a few things. One, I'm doing my best to stay true to season one Twilight as I can. In doing so, I'm afraid I'm almost ruining her. Whatever. Doesn't matter.

Have you been doing something with your life other than obsessively refreshing my blog, desperate to know whether or not I'd put up a new post, nevermind the fact that it updates punctually at 12:00AM Central on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays? Shame on you! However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you had something truly important that was distracting you from your vital task of keeping up to date on the latest Chris ramblings. Maybe you were saving orphans

Hey, look! Over here! It's me, the guy from One Man's Pony Ramblings! And if you don't visit my blog on a regular basis, then have I got a treat for you: two weeks worth of reviews, commentary, and... well, ramblings.

Unless you don't like those things, in which case I guess I have nothing for you. My bad! The rest of you, however, can enjoy checking out what I've been up to for the last fortnight:

Gotta get this off my mind now, before it gets consumed by my anger for tomorrow's rant. In the first part, I talked about things I hated about specific anime I love, while this one will be about things I hate about anime in general.

A day late, and a review short! Still, here's the six five posts you missed if you don't check out my fanfic review blog every Monday-Wednesday-Friday, lovingly assembled and artistically hand-arranged for your enjoyment:

YO! I'm posting a chapter at like 9:14 P.M. Why? Eh... I don't know. It's a short one. The shortest one so far. Like...

Wow... That's short.

I don't know about you, but sometimes even when a story is done and gone, I can't help but continue thinking about it. Pondering what might've happened next and what might've happened to certain characters.

Let me say this early on: this particular story is done and I have no interest in revisiting it or continuing it. But that doesn't mean I can't ponder about it and let you hear my ideas.

Okay, I swear I did not mean for these to be all the same author... Lol.

Anyway, this time I have three stories for you, they are:

For your (future) consideration, I recently figured out what I need to do to improve a Hearth's Warming story I wrote last year enough to post it (or rather, how to accomplish the thing I already knew I needed to improve), so I'm going to start in on that soon. But not too soon, because pre-Thanksgiving is too early to be writing Christmas(-expy) fiction. Expect a new short, seasonal story from me sometime around the start of December!
