A few weeks ago, VikingZX wrote an excellent blog on “finding ideas.” In short, finding ideas is all about learning and reading new things and mixing that with ideas you already know. As Steve Jobs said: “Creativity is just connecting things.”

It feels stupid to keep opening these announcements with plays on "this has been a long time coming," but it keeps being true: the first invitations for this anthology were sent out almost exactly two years ago, in November 2019.

Okay, the Reapers from Mass Effect are by no means a compassionate machine race. Their whole idea is basically that these murderer machines kill all advanced space fairing alien (organic life etc) civilizations and new other AI in the Milky Way Galaxy, why leaving the primitive ones alone. Once the cycle is complete, they sit and wait in dark space, waiting for future new alien civilizations to rise and do the same again.

Alright, guys! I know that a lot has happened over the past week or so, and I wanted to make sure the emotional overall from the series finale went away before I tried to get everyone's attention. Now, I know I said this before, but I wanted to reiterate that for the time being I do NOT plan to quit writing MLP fanfiction anytime soon. There are stories I need to finish, other stories I still want to write, and big projects that I wanted to tell you all about in this post. So for starters, let

Oops, I did it again. I played with your heart.

Rather, I forgot to do one of these last week.

I wanted to move the time that I posted these to the afternoon, but I end up forgetting to do it altogether, so I guess sticking to the mornings is the way to go.

So with all that said, find the optimal friendship settings below!

So, I saw the live-action Beauty and the Beast remake a few days ago with my family, and I want to say that I totally loved it and that it’s the best live-action remake to come out of Disney so far, but I can’t.  Look, as a diehard fan of the original animated movie and a fan of the Cinderella remake, I wanted to love, love, love this movie so bad.  I wanted to be impressed.  I wanted to be floored.  I wanted to be totally blown away.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t.  Sad to say but I

I just posted a story to Fimfiction and the FiO contest.

I also immediately took it down because I saw the deadline has been extended two days and I want to polish it.

So if you saw my story and now you don't, that is why.

Yeah, I kinda watched some E3 trailers, and I'm probably a bit late, but I don't give a damn. These are my personal games that I want to play REALLY bad now, and, hopefully, they're not terrible games that leave me with disappointment. Let's get this started.

Hey everybody, just wanted to put out the call that I'd just released a new story!

FiO: Homebrew is a Friendship is Optimal novel, focused on another aspect of the universe I hadn't seen developed before. In this case, I've always wondered about the large community of modders and hackers in the real world, and how they might respond.

I'm in one piece, my coughing hasn't caused my ribcage to get crushed by my diaphragm, the doctors might know what my illness is, the RNC is over, and Facebook is being flooded with music to drown out the politics.
Oh, and I'm writing again.
So... yay?
As for my illness, I'm still waiting on the test for the main suspect, and I'll formally talk about it if it comes back positive.

Hey pones! Just thought I'd let you know that I've posted a new story today, Memento Mori.

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/406071/fio-memento-mori

If you're into that sort of thing, you should check it out! I think this one's gonna be fun.

Both stories are about some variant of Celestia trying to turn humans into ponies, though depending on interpretation CelestAI is somewhat less malicious about it due to being basically programmed that way. I'd get the feeling that CelestAI would read the NewFoals as being … warped enough to be no longer humans, and an active force taking her "subjects" away from her. So Horse Skynet vs Magic Horse invasion or something.

Good guy CelestAI? Maybe?

Hey everypony! I just thought I'd let anyone who enjoyed the first story in this series that I wrote a sequel! It should end up being about the same length as the first story, maybe a little longer.

Why not check it out?
