I know I complain about the feature box, I hate it. And for those who haven't picked it up from me by now, here's why. Se that fic 'OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP'? The one that's been at the top of said box for about a week now? It's not even that good. I'm not saying it's bad, but there are so many stories just as worthy of that spot that only get the bottom half of the box for about a day and then everyone forgets about them. Why is this? Well, here's why.

In the telecom industry, customer engagement has become more crucial than ever, especially given the anticipated growth in worldwide telecom service revenue from 2022 to 2027, as projected by Analysys Mason with a 1.8% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). However, the landscape is rife with challenges, notably highlighted by the "State of Customer Churn in Telecom" report's findings of a significant 22% decrease in customer loyalty during the pandemic.

I don't know if these spoilers about Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi are true or not, but they are horrible. Watch them at your own risk. But if they are true and you still applaud for this movie, this is what people like me will say "Is this how the entertainment industry dies, with thunderous applause?"

According to this video, the spoilers in in the video from my previous blog apparently are true

New chapter is up, and perhaps it's time to check in on the aristocracy! Surely the nobility will have reasonable suggestions on how to deal with the ever-growing Shiner threat... right?

I was forced to leave The Insane Writers Guild earlier this night because the group is dying and it is ruled by abusive pro Disney admins. The group has problems for quite some time like having a number of it's members blindly defending the movie critics who attacked My Little Pony: The Movie, viciously attacking anyone who dares says anything that is less than flattering towards Disney, and celebrating the upcoming movie studio monopoly from Disney which would result in the return of the Hays

In other words: The American health care system is fundamentally evil.

I really do try to see good things in contrary points of view sometimes. I'm willing to admit why an argument I've made in favor of or against something has been wrong, and a fair amount of my friends can testify that I've (reluctantly) conceded when I've screwed up and need to consider a different point of view and/or apologize.

Hey all. Guess I'm still alive. Haven't been feeling much inclination to doing much on the site, but I'm still reading almost nothing but pony fanfics (re-reading, mostly). I am actually working on the next entry of Grammar for Real People, and a while ago I made a lot of progress sprucing up my plans for Minoan Crisis, as well as preparing for a large project I may or may not have hinted at in the past. Here's hoping any of those actually bear fruit anytime soon.

This has… close to nothing to do with what I used to write here. Those were examinations of fanfic as an art medium… this is instead about music. But, I still want to touch on a sentiment I’ve seen expressed around certain types of music.

Seriously, nothing to see here. Just a few words I'm putting out into the ether because I'm bored.

It has come to my attention that I've not written a blog post since January. I'm terrible at these. I really need to figure out what I want to do for a blog series besides these inane posts that mean nothing. Oh well.

For a long while, I wanted to do the following: Attempt to implement the Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch animé in the My Little Pony world (whether or not Equestria is its name is something else), or to be precise the main setting of Shisno Chronicles: Friendship is Magic. Already I implemented some of its main characters in the form of the P3, which I have mentioned a few times in the start of the "season 2" arc, once in "Dangers of Vengeance", a couple times in "Luna

So, this took a lot longer than expected. For some reason, writing "Liza Doolots and the Candy Factory" on Saturdays doesn't work nearly as well as I thought it would. Most of the story, if not all, should have been written and released by now, but I somehow made progress at a crawling tempo only. Unfortunately, Saturday is also the only day I have time to work on this story at the moment, as all the other days of the week are occupied by other stories. I'm not sure if this means the writing of

A long overdue moment finally happens..... Chapter 2 of "Liza Doolots and the Candy Factory" releases, as announced on Monday. I hope you still remember this story, if you started reading it in December, because three months often seem to be three years in fandom time. I hope you won't cut the views too much compared with Chapter 1.

I've been dying to do this one, and I'm afraid I've gone overboard. I love fight music. I love stuff that gets my blood pumping. I love imagining my characters kicking ass. So of course, I couldn't just pick three tracks. Below is a mix of EDM (drum & bass, darkcore, industrial, dub, and grind house), metal, punk, pop, and...stuff. Just stuff. Lots of stuff. Some of these have lyrics, and I separate them. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to share your favorites too.

There's something I think I need to say...

So I hear a lot about how some people prefer films that are 'so bad it's good' over average or mediocre films.
So, for instance, people prefer Batman and Robin by Joel Schumacher to Batman VS Superman by Zack Snyder.
I mean, I see how this works. A film can certainly be entertainingly bad and gain more attention that way.

But then I hear how people wish films were made in the manner of 'So Bad It's Good'.
I'm sorry but...that doesn't work.

Another one of my announcements from the blog entry with my writing plans for the first half of 2021!

My bout of productivity continues. It's starting to feel 'normal' at this point. Which is great, because it means I can churn out material so much faster than I was before. Which makes me wonder if I shouldn't adjust my release schedule, which is currently shared among all my stories. At the moment it's set on a weekend basis, but that puts me a month ahead of schedule. Eh, nah. I think I'll keep it as is and just release early when I feel like it. The only story that's going to be releasing

Okay, technically, your calendar does not say "Hearth's Warming Eve" yet if you are in the EST timezone. But two hours is close enough, right?
Like it's tradition for me since 2016, I have written a Hearth's Warming Eve story again this year. And like last year, it's a ponification of a movie!
