I also did a poem at the con. A different poem. I'm sort of proud of it. Not as proud as I was of "The Glass Flower," but still reasonably proud.

I have a lot of unfinished stories, pony and otherwise. My approach to writing is Darwinian -- I start whatever I feel like, and let the best story win. Lately, though, I've been focusing on my original novel Hidemarket and writing mainly dumb clop for ponyfic. Because clop is a fun and easy break from the hard work of writing serious fiction. More serious ponyfic has been on hold while I chase my dreeeeaaaammms.
First, some background music to set the tone.

Okay, so, I made Death to the Dash how long ago?
And only NOW I receive a hate comment?
OOH! Does that mean I'm famous now????
Okay, it was kind of inevitable, but this episode is obviously a case of fandom references... done bad. Awfully. Even offensively for some people. The Opposite and Anathema to the faithfully and respectfully done Ep 100. But well... honestly my issue is less with that and more of how... nonsensical this episode is. I'm not even angry about it, i'm just like... this is a really stupid episode. Not even enraging, just... stupid.
I was thinking about rebutting some arguments or something, but... meh. Fuck it. It ain't worth the effort. I'll just issue a blanket statement.
If you're insulted by this episode? You probably deserve it.
First of all, I added the illustrations to The Last Unicorn Princess fic, so check them out if you’d like.
Secondly, I’d like to discuss another three really entertaining (to me) MLP episodes, so let’s get started on that!
Right then, I'm finally in my spring break and my uni work-load has dropped to zero, so I should probably sit down to write a thank-you blog for The Immortal's Burden now that it's been...
Seven months? What?
Well. Uhhh. I certainly feel silly now.
That’s right y’all, I’m finally reviewing that Brony criticism episode and that return of our new Changeling overlord episode:D Yay!
FAME AND MISFORTUNE:
Well, for one thing, I think the real reason that journal is ratty and dirty is because, all those friends lessons were all PATHETIC from Day one, and the only thing I've learned from that crap called a book... is what I don't want to be like.
But I do like the way Rarity and Pinkie get burned... especially because maybe certain riflers and mockers can learn that "Words Hurt"
An episode poking fun of overly critical fans?! What could possibly go wrong?!
Going to need to make this relatively quick, and apparently out of chronological order. (And yes, this was quick. I only got my replacement laptop about four hours ago. Love and care go into these blogs.) In any case, it’s time for perhaps the most metareferential episode the show’s ever given us.
Well, not a fic, exactly. Give me the skeleton... Part of one.
As an uninspired 'thank you' for having duped a number of you into following me on the site, I'm going to let you come up with my next story help me decide what to write. The rules are simple:
Give me a canon character, a prop, and a random word.
In seriousness, I loved the episode. A bit more below.
My sister entered the room without knocking, and caught me reading the Kama-Sutra out loud to my hand-carved, fuck-ugly wooden Beethoven bust.
The fuck-ugly bust in question
I was at the part where the book explains how to get rid of a lover you don’t want anymore.
Well, this was okay. I enjoyed it. So cringe-worthy, but not really bad. I think the central message for the episode, on how to cope with achieving your dream and not quite being able to get things the way you want it shouldn't hinder you from making the best of it all, is rather positive and helpful. Also, quite a bit of fun here. To the rapid-fire thoughts!
