If Google Drive autocorrect had its way, then we would have a lot of alcoholics in this story.

Hello and welcome to the fifth Fireside Chat, the series of blog posts where I talk about stuff and things concerning my story “The Crystal Human”. As always, this will contain spoilers, so read the corresponding chapter first.

Chapter Seven is finished, and work on Chapter Eight has started. Just thought this was funny.

Chapter Six will be released to the public sometime this week.

Oh, and there's a Chapter Seven title drop, ig.

Hello, and welcome to the fourth Fireside Chat, the series of blog posts where I seem to change the description of what I talk about in them every time. As always, this will include spoilers, so make sure that you read the chapter this post is about first.

With the title drops out of the way, I've got a question for the audience: Should I release both chapters tomorrow (since I still have to finish the Fireside Chats for both), or should I release Chapter Five tomorrow and release Chapter Six at a later date?

I don't know why, but out of all the characters I've written in this story so far, I'm having the most trouble with the famous pink party pony. I feel like it shouldn't be so hard to try and balance Pinkie Pie randomness while making her an actual character, all the while keeping her faithful to how she is depicted in the show at this point in time, but it really is.

Do you guys have any tips on how to write Pinkie Pie dialogue?

Hello everyone, and welcome to the third fireside chat, a series of blog posts where I talk about various bits and bobs related to my story “The Crystal Human” (and potentially other stories as well, if I ever do decide to write anything else.) This will include spoilers, so make sure to read the chapter first.

So you know how I said yesterday that Chapter Four was a little ways off?

Yeah, so turns out that was a lie.

I plan on releasing it tomorrow afternoon after work. For now, have a title drop.

We're gonna be getting that Jackson Brunner lore soon boys.

Chapter Four most likely won't be out for a little while yet, but that doesn't mean that I can't give you guys a small taste of it.

I would also like your thoughts on how I wrote Cadence in this. I wanted to show her when not putting up the front of "Princess of Equestria."

We also get to see a more playful side of Jackson here. I tried to do that with his interactions with Luna in Chapter Three, but I feel like he came off as more of a snarky smartass there.

Just gotta do some editing, and then I'll upload it at some point later today. Thank God I already had number three halfway finished when I posted the other two, right?

I'll also be starting work on Chapter Four soon. For now, though, have some Chapter Title teasers (four is subject to change)

...

What.

The.

FUCK!?!?!

I appreciate the support you guys are giving me, but I honestly wasn't expecting this.

Stealing FDR's bit cause I feel like it.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the post-chapter release blog post! I'll be doing this after every chapter to explain little things, clear up some confusion on other things, and maybe eat a watermelon while I type these up. Without further ado, let's talk about the shitty MLP fanfiction written by your favorite tax evader. (Hey, that's me!)

I honestly thought that it would take longer to be approved, but hey. I'm not complaining.

Full disclaimer: I am not good at writing. Don't go into this thinking it'll be the next great HiE story, cause it's not. It's just the poorly written, mostly thought out beforehand ramblings of a new writer.

Also, regarding the "first draft" comment in the authors note of the second chapter, it's not actually the first draft. It's more like the fifth. I just wanted to make that joke.
