Writing 'Not My Rescuer'; Extensive Author's Notes · 9:28pm Jul 2nd, 2020

Howdy folks. I've recently published a new story that went through a very different writing process than what I'm used to; it's called 'Not my Rescuer (but not bad either)', and focuses on Rarity going on a blind date. I actually had a fair bit of fun writing it, even though I didn't really do any of the things I typically do when writing stories, and I wanted to discuss them, because I quite like talking about my experiences writing when they're particularly noteworthy (I wanted to do

Hap Reviews: Contest Entries 12 · 10:27am Aug 27th, 2020

Hey hey folks. I have another two stories from two separate events I participated in; one is from the RBAIA contest and the other is from Krazy's Warm and Fuzzies event, so there should be a little variety in them even if they're both shippy. Hopefully one might take your fancy to read.

With luck, I'll have a new story posted by the end of the week-end with regards to the Cozy Glow contest, so stay tuned for that. It's about halfway finished and then will need a quick coat of editing.

Overly Extensive Author's Notes: Titanium Jack · 1:34pm Oct 29th, 2017

Hey guys. Like I mentioned in a blog not long ago, I mentioned I was considering doing a sort of 'authors notes' on Titanium Jack, since the story went through a lot of iterations and changes during writing, from the initial concept to the actual writing. What I'm going to do (for those who are interested) is look at some of the stuff I thought about and worked through. Who knows! Some of you might find it interesting.

Change of Pace Contest Results · 1:21pm Dec 1st, 2020

Hey hey hey, everyone. 

On the 11th of September, we launched this Change of Pace contest with the hope that it’d stand out from other contests and promote a new opportunity to try out a different kind of writing challenge, and I personally very much hope that everyone found it engaging, interesting, and a good opportunity to learn new things.

I did, however, also promise prizes, which means I’ve got to announce winners.

New Story is out; Titanium Jack · 11:01pm Aug 25th, 2017

Hey guys. Just popping by to say that a new story got published today. It's a three parter, so kind of in that awkward in-between area where it's too long for a one-shot but too short to become a long-running thing. Tragic, I know. Whatever shall I do?

Versus Jet is out! · 11:06pm Feb 24th, 2020

Howdy folks. I've just now released the first chapter of my newest story, Versus Jet. It's my entry to the latest AppleDash contest, and involves life for Rainbow and Applejack after Twilight and the others move on with their lives. There's also a jet.

TVersus Jet
It's a tough time to be a Wonderbolt. Funding is at risk, Cloudsdale bureaucracy is breathing down Spitfire's neck, and a new machine threatens to undo the Wonderbolts themselves. It's up to Rainbow Dash to beat it... but she'll need some help.

New Story, New Contests · 7:58am Apr 2nd, 2021

Hey hey folks.

Looks like this month is going to be a busy one for Hap; there are currently at least three large contests out there to participate in, and you know how much I like those.

There's an AppleDash contest, a Cadance contest, and a FiO contest. It'll be a struggle to try and write for all of them but, well, I'll be giving it my best shot anyhow. I already have an idea or two for the AD one; still brainstorming the other two.

Frenemies Talk, Chapter XXIII feat. HapHazred and SweetAI Belle · 6:34am Nov 25th, 2015

Frenemies Talk, Chapter XXIII: The Mane Attraction

With a character that is a blatant reference to one of the more... idiosyncratic performers of our times and another character that is simply a prick, I have to say that the latest episode was still rather enjoyable. For once, it showed that we should all try and find our true selves, so we can make our posterior glow when we do something that we are meant to do!

Hap Reviews: Contest Entries 6 · 1:04pm Nov 22nd, 2019

Hello again, folks. Today we have a couple of stories that looked promising; one that reminded me of a story I myself wrote back in 2016 (one of the most popular ones, too!), and a short story that I actually spent a good long time having to think about, as the things I ended up finding interesting about the story took a few rereads to sink in.

Let's see how they did!

Pony Peace is Dragon War is Out · 12:55am Nov 10th, 2019

Howdy howdy.

I recently finished an entry to FoME's Imposing Sovereign's II contest. It was pretty fun to write, since I got to play with two characters I've never actually written before; Ember and Thorax, both of whom are adorable in my opinion, and very fascinating as both of them are monstrous rulers trying to play nice with the pastel ponies of Equestria, each in their own suitably awkward way.

Hap Recommends Scribblefest 2017 #1 · 10:17pm Mar 11th, 2017

Hello gents and gentesses. We did this last year and we're doing this again, although admittedly I won't be able to go through nearly as many stories as last time due to this being my final year in university and me being busy as all get-out. What am I doing, anyone who wasn't with us last year may be asking? Well, I participated in this years Everfree Northwest Scribblefest 2017, and in a grand and magnanimous show of solidarity I like to review my own opinions of some entries as well as try

Hap Recommends Even More Scribblefest #5 · 7:54pm Mar 10th, 2016

Back for round five. Lets see what this latest batch has to offer! We've got a bit more slice of life again (which is absolutely no problem for me: just leaves the Dash award even more open for Weatherpony, if you ask me!) but the theme that dominates this round is actually mystery, which I wasn't expecting.

If you've not already checked out some of the other blogs I've done like this, you can check them out here:

Scribblefest 2016 Winners Announced! · 10:03am Apr 14th, 2016

Okidok, at around the same time me and the other admins of HazMat wrapped up our own contest, the results of the EFNW Scribblefest also arrived. There was only one story that got a winning category that I didn't read (the Twilight award, which interestingly was the one I figured two other stories would have a shot at winning) so I can say with pretty reasonable confidence that I'm happy with all the winning entries (even the poem one. I still hate poetry with a vengeance, though, but I do think

Help wanted; Versus Jet · 11:49am Feb 10th, 2020

Hello folks. It's me. Again.

I'm currently writing two stories for two separate contests, one of which is due at the end of this month; Versus Jet is the current working (likely final) title of a story being written for the current AppleDash contest (Go Big or Go Home). Predictably, it's approaching 30K words, and I fully expect it to exceed that amount as I continue to work on the story.

Howdy howdy. I've gotten a new story up, written for Krazy's Warm and Fuzzy Feelings event, and I'm predictably here to hype it up a bit.
