part 2

Bad news out of the way first: I'm not going to be contributing a story to the Ancestral Tribute contest. This isn't to say that I didn't have one in the works - It's got 3k words put into it, as well as a completed structure. But after recent events, which for the sake of personal privacy I don't feel like elaborating on, I no longer feel comfortable with continuing it. Maybe I'll work on it at some point in the future, maybe I won't. If nothing else, though, I'm not going to delete it

I find myself in an interesting situation that I can only describe as a multilevel backlog. The first one, the new Netflix content, will last me until the end of November. The one after that, all the Tell Your Tale shorts and comics that will accrue in that time, will see me through mid-January. And all the stuff I already had planned? December of next year.

Let’s begin.

G5:
So far, G5's Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark has been interesting. I have about 8 episodes that I really like from TYT, but as far as MYM, I'm slowly getting into it.

The themes and story are a little toned down comparably to G4, but I'm still interested in seeing it through.

Accessories of Evil:

At this point, we’re getting into genuine first reactions on my part. Between other demands on my time and insufficient engagement, I just haven’t been binging G5. Honestly, I have a hard time just sitting and watching my entertainment anymore. Plus, there’s something to be said for a weekly release schedule giving the fandom time to digest each episode.

In any case, let’s take a look.

So. When I put this on the schedule, I thought it would just be a single special, like Winter Wishday. I wasn’t expecting Make Your Mark Season 2 to come with it. As such, it’s looking like a G5 summer. Let’s get this party started.

...in Blender, of course.
It's still pretty jank compared to some other renders I've seen, but I've got a basic fire, some smoke, some water, and a reflective obstacle for the water all interacting with each other in the same scene.

This is totally not being done in preparation to whip up more cover art...

My adherence to the Old Ways continues (by which I mean treating a Netflix content dump like the episodes are coming out weekly.) Let’s see what new wonders and horrors, if any, await.

“What if,” Spike said, “Ginger Gypsy hadn’t been afraid to confess her love? Would you still hate her so much?”

I frowned. “Hate is a strong word. I never said I hated her.”

Hey! It's been a little while since I did a blog, hasn't it?

Wow, yeah, not since EFNW. Well, let's fix that, shall we?

Huh. You’d think the episodes about stealing cutie marks would’ve covered Starlight’s secrets. Let’s see what else we can pin on Old Equestria’s Handicapper General. Maybe it’s time travel!

Greetings again, readers! I decided to make a blog post elaborating on some of my future plans for My Little Pony storytelling, some current activity and a few thoughts I've developed in long time I've spent making The End of an Era. I hope I don't keep you here for too much time.

Ten years of card games. And friendship. Quite the milestone. And just in time for the last wave of Make Your Mark content, which…

… Huh. Well.

As of today, it has been a whole month since I wrapped up The End of an Era (Series Finale Rewritten). I want to say that while I'm (mostly) content with what I wrote (and modified) for that story, and I've voiced the multitude of complaints I have with The Ending of the End, the episode it's based on, in the Author's Notes, I still feel like after all these years, I need to construct a single place to put all of what I've said together and convey my full feelings of that two-parter in one,

Hey folks! Got a few more shorts for the ol' Anthology today. One is an entry for last month's Pride Month contest (and it has trans themes; if that's not your thing, feel free to skip it) called "Special Occasion" about a mare trying to feel comfortable as her true self.

Christmas is approaching fast, and what I'm hoping, aiming and certain to bring to you soon, followers, is the end of The End of an Era, marking the conclusion of my Friendship is Magic series finale rewrite, the biggest project I've tackled and brought this far. Chapter 16 (Part 4 - Chapter 4) will be the last to cover my overhaul of The Ending of the End, and after that, an epilogue will follow to put a bow on top of the package. I doubt it's a spoiler on any level to mention that the

Hey, guys. Mr. J here.

Just so you're aware, I am planning to return to MLP G5: both watching Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark. Now, I don't remember if I ever told you all about this, but I did inform some of y'all that I've given up hope for G5 because the episodes I watched around that time (two years ago) were so forgettable and boring.
