I rarely do these things but the cause I feel is good. Wanderer D is a good friend of mine and needs help funding himself to do a year course to help him have a brighter future and to look after his boy. I understand everyone is broke and everyone is struggling but if we all throw in a dollar each we can help a good guy and loving father out.
We'll be starting shortly, and we have a very special guest who is not at all intimidating, Wanderer D. Yeah. That's right. Don't ask me how, but we got him, it's happening. So come drink with us on a damn Thursday, be fun, swear a lot, and ask questions as we try desperately not to say anything that will get us banned.
God... I... man I hope I don't get anybody banned.

So, way back in the day, I had a semi-satirical "bucket list" of sorts for Fimfic in my head. It had all sorts of little goals, a lot of which I've honestly met at this point, funnily enough, but somewhere near the bottom, around "get device heretic-senpai to notice me" (and later "get device heretic-senpai to stop noticing me") would have been something along the lines of "Write something worthy of making it into the Sweetie Belle Chronicles."
Awesome episode today, I think, no spoilers in this blog tho, because... Bronycon Panels!
Hello y’all! The next installment of Electro Swing is out...? Wait, no it’s not! Crap. Sorry, in truth, two days ago, I tossed out every word I had written in the past two weeks (a little under 3K words) into the dustbin and restarted Chapter 22 fresh. So, while I was hoping to get the next installment of Electro Swing out today, I spent far longer than I thought I would picking through a draft written in collaboration with a little-known writer on the platform,
Hello! Here's the last part of my first playthrough for the new XCOM DLC, unfortunately I haven't had the time to play the second mission yet, but at least I've finished this one!
Warning: I get annoyed.

I have some... very weird ones picked out for today. Like, really weird. I actually have them listed from relatively sane to weird in descending order. But, promotion time:
This here group called "Looking for Editors" if you need one for a story.
MLPmatthewl419's Collection
Lyra Kills a Mare by Snuggie88
If you're at Bronycon, please consider coming to the panel I'm on with three popular writers here on FiMfiction. It's at 12:45 am, but I promise it'll be fun!
I'm at Bronycon this week! I'll be staying with my editor Reese and a friend of his. I'll post later about which events I'll be at if you care to chat, but I will be at the Writer's Dinner and I'll also be a panelist for writers called "Distant Worlds" with GaPJaxie, Wanderer D, and Pascoite at Star Hall, Sunday at 12:45 am until 1:45 am. It's a late one, but I really hope you'll join us. We'll be talking about how to take what you've learned from MLP
Hey everyone! 👋
S'up, bitches? Guess what! Or, well, don't, because I spoiled it in the title!
The Ponyfest Panels are up!
I was going to write a blog post about the finale, but having gotten about halfway through it, I’m not really sure what it was going to add to the discussion – to a great extent, it felt like a rehash of the episode, rather than adding anything of value.
But I do have things I want to say about it, so I will have to reformulate my thoughts.
In the meanwhile, I actually started reading stories again. And, well, as long as I was reminiscing… what about another review set?
Well lads, it's time for me to take a break from being in Sad and Tired Land to go to Excited but Nervous Land. Why, you ask?
Because me and Wanderer D are hosting a panel this Saturday at Ponyfest Online!
When: 6:30 EST.
Where: Ponyfest Discord Server
Apparently getting sick means that after I recover, I become more powerful productive.
I knew it was worth picking up the Anime Protagonist perk at level 1.
Today’s stories:
Heat of the Summer’s Sun by Rocinate
Ten Degrees by Bachiavellian
X is a Changeling by Wanderer D
In Memoriam by Bachiavellian
The Magician and the Detective by Bad Horse
Reviews two days in a row? What is the world coming to?
First order of business: literally seconds before I made this post, Blue Jewel released a reading of As He Lay Dying, my story about the last moments of Jonagold Apple as he lay on his deathbed.
Thanks a lot, Blue Jewel!
Ahh, hey guys this is the con post! Here I will tell you all bout the con, who I met and what I did, plus the stuff I bought. It was a blast except for the fact that the hotel didn't work. I attended two panels which I will mention below and met a ton of fellow writers.
I'm also extremely tempted to play becoming popular in the background. Always have cool music playing in the background even if your movie doesn't have hobbits. It also helps with writing but that's beside the point.
Howdy folks!
As I promised last week, I posted a new story yesterday:
I Have This Friend
Comedy, Romance
2,026 wordsTwilight asks Celestia for romantic advice.
You know, for a friend.
Because, really, who doesn’t love awkward conversations?
