It should come as no surprise that I enjoy a good crossover, but the latest chapter of Dueling Keyboards is breaking some new ground for me. It's not the first time I've contemplated working with the Caped Crusader, but it is the first I've been able to put to virtual paper. I hope you enjoy it.

Alright, I'm back—Jelly that is.

I'm gonna get back into the swing of editing the story that Ink set on Hiatus. It's been a while, and I gotta say: I've been lazy; I'm sorry, fam. As for the status of the story on whether it's gonna change, well, we'll see. Chapter 3 will be edited as best as we can before we release it.

In other news, I bought me and Ink a new external keyboard. Yay!

Stay tuned and happy reading.

So I gave in. I said I wouldn't buy until two weeks from now, but I gave in and bought the Razer Black Widow Ultimate keyboard. Why did I buy it? I wanted to find out how other mechanical keyboards feel, for one. After using this for a few hours, I noticed that the keys are much easier to press than the ones on the Dragonwar Atomos. That is because the Atomos has keys that need 60g. of actuation force as compared to only 50g. for the Black Widow Ultimate. Which is strange, since the Atomos is

I haven't done much with the Writeoff in recent years, but it's still going strong and a great way to get the creative juices flowing.

Between programming and YouTube binging, I've had little time or creative energy for ponywords lately. Still, I've been able to get out a Dueling Keyboards short with a little Friendship Games headcanon. Blame/thank PresentPerfect for giving me the nudge.

Just a heads-up that the next FiCG will be covering the recent pony and technicolor humanoid shorts, and that a new Dueling Keyboards short inspired by one of them has just gone up.

Say what you will about the latest special, it still inspired me to write a Sunlight short. You can find it in Dueling Keyboards.

Got an idea and struck while the inspiration was fresh. It's technically long enough to qualify for individual publication, but I don't like putting up anything that isn't at least two thousand words on its own. As such, it's the latest Dueling Keyboards short. Bear in mind that there will be spoilers for the end of "Spring Breakdown."

In the meantime I've made some changes to the tagging on PoF to reflect a minor plot detail coming up in the next encounter. It's nothing much, just a non-con tag for the people that might not be okay with that.

If there are other tags I'm missing, please don't hesitate to yell at me.

You may recall one option of the latest Thought Dissection blog was a story entitled Full-Court Press, a post-"The Crystalling" press conference. horizon made a very good point about how it was a time-sensitive concept, so I started fleshing it out. I was applying some of the final coats of polish earlier today when I realized that, honestly, it's just not a very good idea.

There's a Crystal Prep-themed Sunset shipping contest on at the moment, and one castoff idea I had got me wondering about Sunset attending CPA... and running against a logical issue. At least I got a Dueling Keyboards

Been trying to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend to get some writing done, so naturally I started doing so on Monday. Ah, procrastination. In any case, a new Dueling Keyboards short is up.

Also, the "Alone in the Darkness" reading got me feeling nostalgic. Would anyone want to read another Story Shuffle collection?

My typing keyboard broke, so it's in repair. I'm behind on my updates not really due to that, but as a result of a ton of work bearing down on me at the moment. I'm going to regroup in the next week or so, so look forward to some stories updating then. You'll probably see it in your notifications, but until then, thanks for sticking around.

Firstly, Dueling Keyboards updated with a new short based largely on a random idea that my muse insisted on fleshing out. 'Tis silly.

Secondly, Season 7 premieres on April 15th. Get hype.

Thirdly, I am truly blown away by the response to the contest thus far in terms of both participants and cross-promotional blogs. Here are a few updates:

I am frankly terrible about remembering my Fimficversary, but this time around I'm going to try to do something about it. After all, this account will be turning six. That's not an insignificant deal.

Of course, I have no idea what to do beyond another blog post, and even in that case I'm not sure about what it might contain beyond commenting on the date. I have a week. Any ideas?

What if I designed and built a mechanical keyswitch?

This is mostly just coming from the fact that I've got a box full of drying keycaps after cleaning my half-mechanical/memchanical keyboard that I've owned literally all my life.

And as far as designing the keyswitch goes, the basic idea behind it is quite simple, anyways. The keyswitch is a type of temporary button that is designed according to a specific consumer preference regarding the tactile and audible feedback.

The design is great, and the idea behind it is awesome... But being stuck at half my writing speed is really frustrating. I'm accumulating a lot of delay in my writing. I really wanted to finish at least one chapter of TMitW before November, especially since my Nanowrimo won't involve ponies. I am "dissatisfied". And too stubborn to just let go. Moonit.

Ok guys/girls, I'm finally dusting off the cobwebs on my keyboard. I'm starting the planning for a new story, the name and details will be withheld do to the thieves of the internet. But if Everything goes smoothly and I actually do some research on certain topics. This should be good. I might ask kudzuhaiku or iakovl for a little help, do to the greatness that I have seen them produce.

Hey everyone,

Hopefully I will begin writing again this week. I managed to get a computer, and it's up and running, everything is smooth as silk, but the keyboard I have is a compact chiclet keyboard, way smaller than I thought it was when I ordered it, and since I have carpal tunnel, arthritis, and just big *yay* hands, it's nearly impossible to type (this hurts like hell).

Firstly, there's one week left for Imposing Sovereigns IV.

Secondly, Ponyville Ciderfest was this past weekend, and I was happy to contribute a few shorts.
