0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone)
1/10 - HORRIBLE/BORING (tedious, hurts to watch, a bore, no reason to watch him/her, whatever positive things about him/her are tiny and not enough)
2/10 - VERY BAD (slightly less terrible, maybe there were one or two things you liked kept him/her from being a 1 but still very painful)

Read all about it in EQD's news article. And yes, we'll get to see Tempest Shadow again and finally, Zecora's homeland.

Hello readers! I come to you today with news! And also, with a question.

The news, first. But those of you tempted to skip it, don’t. The question is tied deeply into it, and I would prefer feedback from you, the readers.

The brightest light casts the deepest shadow.

“We've got to get word back to Canterlot!”
“There’s no time. We'll have to deal with this ourselves.”

“Your fighting style is a long-forgotten art, but I understand it now.”

“Soon, this bloated and corrupt kingdom will be brought down.”

The downfall of Equestria has begun.

I had a pretty fun chat with a friend, but we more or less just thought of a Shadow of the Colossus-like game involving the Gigantimax Pokémon.

When it doesn’t sell anything, clearly.

Okay, this needs a bit of explanation, but it’s an odd one. So things have been going pretty well sales-wise lately. Colony and Shadow of an Empire just keep ticking away copies, finally moving my book income from “Spare change” to “rent payment.” Or at least, they were, save for this last week.

I just got out of the theater. Actually not kidding, that was probably the best movie I've seen in four or five years.

Emily Blunt in particular did a S P E C T A C U L A R job with Tempest Shadow's voice acting. Literally, perfection. New ironic pone waifu?

...Maybe. Time will tell. In the mean time, you scrublords better go see the movie.

...but I got thinking after watching the season seven finale (finally got around to it ). Did the Pony of Shadows get sent to the human realm like the Sirens? And if he did, will he be the next villain for the HuMane 7? And then would Sunset have to drag Starswirl's arrogant ass across dimensions to finally defeat it?

So, here's a news flash. Inspired by Japanese myth, and coming in with a bang, I present to you...

Storms and Shadows.

The Cutie Map has a new request from Twilight, and the rest of the Elements. A land deal in Neighpon has gone sour, and the Elements must fix it. Only, it's not that simple. What originally starts as a friendship problem turns into a adventure spanning the realm of mortals and spirits alike. Plus...Ninjas.

Lots and lots of ninjas.

I FINALLY got a chance to see "Ghostbusters: Afterlife", and it was pretty good! Not PERFECT, but then nothing not made by me ever could be!

This is how you do passing the torch RIGHT. Nobody got crapped on, and the newbs weren't elevated into these perfect people who could do no wrong. It really felt like a fusion of "Ghostbusters" and "The Monster Squad", which really worked well.

As much as I like season 7, I won't deny Shadow Play left a hella lot to be desired. Seriously, watch this video and you will agree with me:

We understand: Shadow of an Empire can be a daunting prospect for a reader. A nine-hundred-plus page book? In paperback? Is it even worth the money? The reviews say yes, but folks don’t always trust reviews. They’d like to experience what’s between the pages themselves.

ALRIGHT! This is blog 100! That makes it special in it's own way. So, what am I up to?

A Science Fiction Series

That's 4 series I am working on. Plus a NEW ONE!

Apparently this is just a live reading report blog now.

I commissioned Skijarama to do a reading of what I believe is one of my strongest stories to date. As always, he knocked it out of the park. He has a clear knack for drama and suspense storytelling. Please give it a listen!

Hey guys!

Wanted to give you all an update on the subject of the final story of the Star Wars/MLP: The Movie series. I won't be mentioning any names, but one or two people have been complaining about when it is going to come out. I will say that I do plan on making it, but I'm side-tracked with other things like creating videos for my YouTube channel, voice acting, and being sort of co-writer to a couple of stories.

First off, I've been thinking about making a One Piece and My Little Pony crossover. Something of an AU where Luffy and his crew live in Equestria.

Second, I wanna do a Tempest-centric story that takes places after the movie. Nothing too big, just a one-shot.

What do you guys think?

17 years ago, a legendary JRPG flew under the radar. I first played my brother's copy in 2004, and eventually got my own just a couple years ago. Today is the first time I will reach level 99.

The darkness draws closer.

Noted reviewer PresentPerfect offered up some of his time to share his thoughts on something of mine again - this time it's Mrs. Robinson's Stand. If you'd like, you can find it here.

Thanks again, glad you had a good time!
