I'm working on a State of the Horizon post, but in the meantime, a few quick con-related things:

Ack! I forgot to make a blog post about this yesterday!

Today is Ponyfest 3.0, another online pony convention.

And like the last convention, I'm doing a panel! Specifically, a panel with Tumbleweed.

The topic?

It was pretty good! I had a great time, entered a costume contest, spoke briefly with a fellow fanfiction writer, and bought a whole ton of merchandise (including five plushies, because I have a problem).

WHAT IS UP, DUDES AND DUDETTES (and valued followers)?

I, CategoricalGrant himself, will be IN THE FLESH at Trotcon in Columbus July 14-16. No, I do not have any panels or anything, and am planning on just bumming around with some of my S Q U A D from Ohio Bronies/Cuyahoga Foals.

Well... what an eventful week I have had. Firstly I would like to apologise to all the people who found this on FIMFiction, the amazing people who have been waiting for me to publish stuff where... I just haven't been able to do anything. Once again, university on top of being a part of Alicon has just made my life incredibly busy and it's going to be like that for a while. Please bear with me and come November, I will be dropping chapters like they're hot!

Back at Ciderfest 2018, Charlie Worthley pulled me aside late one night and showed me a video. I screamed, and a couple tables' worth of people stared at me like I was crazy.

And wonderfully crazy I was, because when Charlie asked me to be Vice Chair for MLP-MSP F, I immediately said yes.

Okay guys, SERIOUSLY, who is going to be making it to Ponyville Ciderfest next weekend?

Again I’ll be there as standby medical staff, but with no panels for me to do and no drinking because of the whole med staff thing (SAD REACCS ONLY), I need some b u d d i e s to talk with!!!

If you’re gonna be at Ponyville Ciderfest at ANY POINT during that weekend, let me know so we can meet, chat, and hangout (if you don’t find me eminently annoying)

For those who haven't been following, I was at the Online PonyFest 2 virtual convention a little over a week ago, where I gave 2 seminars and sat on 2 panels. If you'd like to see those, the YouTube videos are finally up!

I'm alive! And have writing news, enough so that I need to do a State of the Author post for the first time in a while. But in the meantime, a quick heads up:

I'm about to fly to Seattle for this year's Everfree Northwest! Expect author social time, general convention shenanigans, and drunken pony Tarot readings in the evenings once the liquor starts flowing.

For those who didn't see it, I was at Looney Con 2 last year.

We just came across the video for my 5 Steps to Writing Anything seminar, so first off, let me post it here for y'all! (along with the playlist of all the online cons I've had recorded)

That done, consider this the first announcement that...

Welcome back writers. I’d venture a guess that you’ll likely be able to guess what big event is going on this week simply by looking at today’s topic.

Hello, all! Stahl here!

Ah'm gonna be at SAKURA-CON!
Well, just as an attendee, it's not like Ah'm crazy popular enough to be a panel host or anything silly like that.
For those wondering what that is, it's a huge anime convention in Seattle, Washington.
Some would say Ah'm crazy for going cross-country with a friend to go to a con...and they'd be right. But you guys read mah stuff, so ya know Ah'm already a few batteries short in the 24 AA pack that is life.

Woohoo! Trotcon starts tomorrow!

Technically, badge pickup's tonight but I'll be in tomorrow morning and all con long. Since I live in the same city, I'm only staying Friday and Saturday nights at the hotel.

I know you're thinking the dakimakura should be in the screenshot, but I'm bringing my own.

Just a reminder that I have a Discord server now! Come on over and chat! I promise much SunLight. (And since Tchernobog’s around, there’s a ton of AppleDash. And since Monochromatic’s around, there’s a ton of RariTwi!)

Happy Tuesday everyone!

So excited for Babscon.

Also excited for this new Fallout 4 DLC but FUCK ME I HAVE TO WAIT FIVE HOURS TO UPDATE MY GAME.

So I'm getting drunk off of Miller Light and prozac. Oh, and Veep is amazing. So funny.

Well Kiddos, I'm confirmed to be at Whinny City Ponycon in April (the venue is like 20 minutes from where I grew up and where my parents still live- I used to go to the My Little Pony Fair there). Even better, I'll be hosting a panel "Writing Pony Fanfiction: The Basics"!

If any of my dear internet followers are headed there, I'd love to meet you in person; alternatively, let me know if you have writing experience and would like to join me as a cohost of the panel!
