Technically, my plans to attend the Ponyville Ciderfest con in October have been locked-in for a couple months now. But yesterday I got confirmation that my application to do my Getting Started Writing Pony Fanfic panel again has been approved--so now it's really a go!

Apologies for the short format, but the hotel wifi is bad and all I've got is my phone and its limited data plan. Special thanks goes out to the guy (whose name I hope to get tomorrow) who let me use his hotspot so I could finish tweaking my panel slides for tomorrow/later today.

On this day eight years ago, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered on the Hub Network. A bunch of grown men decided to watch it as a joke, and then realized that it was actually a pretty good show. Very quickly, bronies came into the forefront of media for defying societal expectation that grown men aren't supposed to enjoy things marketed to young girls.

Ponyville Ciderfest: Last Call for Writers, Editors, and Actors

The words are flowing at Ponyville Ciderfest! This year’s convention theme is all about writing, and we’re celebrating with a ton of amazing events, including an interactive storytelling experience!

We’ve already got over sixty active creators and one-hundred stories as part of this project. We’d love to include everyone, but since we need to start finalizing so we can move onto the next stage:

Hi, folks,

Ciderfest is less than two weeks away. I hope you can all make it, and if you can't, you'll be able to find some of the panels up on the Ciderfest YouTube page after the convention.

I'm the Programming Director this year, so I'll have my hooves full. I'll try to post more info as we get closer, but realistically, I won't have much time between now and then.

I'm planning on attending my first CiderFest this year, and I'm applying for a panel, there. I have a lot to say about platonic affection's importance in humans and its wide prevalence in the fanfiction of our fandom, being sort of a specialist in it. Ideally though I'd like to have one or two other co-panelists to help guide and create discussion both among the panelists and with the audience. While I'm comfortable enough to do a solo panel, I think it'd be more engaging and smooth if it's not

Hello again!

It's Ciderfest 2022 and I'll be at the Writer's Meet-Up in the Apple Orchard from 12 - 1! Hope to see ya there.

Hope your fall is going well. Why not celebrate it ny reading my fall themed story and giving it a like? That'd be cool.

Hey folks.

I will be at Ponyville Ciderfest in Milwaukee from October 28th-30th.

There's apparently an EQG panel and a fanfic panel, so best bet if you want to run into me. Otherwise shoot me a PM or something.

(also i'm spooky now grr)

To put it bluntly, my first MLP convention was a blast. I sadly had to leave halfway through the charity auction, but I would have stayed until the end if I could. Over the course of the con, I was mistaken for Anon five times, met someone erroneously placed on a terrorist watch list, and turned somepony into a raging manticore. Details after the break.

a couple weeks ago, at the cosplay contest at Ponyville Ciderfest, i learned that the judges have a bias toward handmade cosplays (closet cosplays are valid too!) and it motivated me to actually make something that i've had an idea for ever since i watched "Spike At Your Service"

So, if any of you follow Calm Wind or any of my friends in the Troll Squad, you'll know I attended Ciderfest this year in Milwaukee! It was a lot of fun, and quite honestly there was a lot of awesome stuff that happened! Sadly, I don't really have pictures of any of the stuff I got or that happened, because my phone is a pain in the ass.

Oh, wait, I do have one picture! Of which I am really proud of having!

I'm back home from Ciderfest 2023, and it was something. As always, the panels were great, I got to talk with and see some very cool people. It's what's expected, but I love it each and every time I come.

The big new thing was that I got to sell my book there. It was at the After Dark Vendor Hall and I even got to work and help run the AD Bookstore on my first night there. I went in, bringing twenty copies of Pinkamena: Beasts , and hoping I'd be able to even sell five.

So, I am not dead. I do live! My life has just been full of... well... bleh, really. being a shift lead can really kill ones creative muse for a time. But it is slowly returning! I have plans in store for my stories. Different breed and Embers story, for now, are on the back burner.

Alas, it's over.

At least I grabbed some cider on my way out.

Hey there, folks!

In case you're going to Ciderfest, I'll have copies of the physical edition of "Sensation" available. As always, they'll be pay-what-you-want with a suggested price of $35, and I'll be happy to sign them.

If you want a good time to find me, I'm giving a panel called "Start to Finish: Starting and Ending Your Story" on Friday at 3:30 in the Caramel room. I hope to see you there!
