Just heard that it is which surprised me cause its been really good and quality throughout its run.

Well I joked to myself that I would write Rainbow Dash's little crossover with Regular Show right around when its ends cause theres so much of it.

Guess I should start or something.

But I have school in a week and Its my final year so that's going to be difficult to do.

Gonna be quiet for a long while here and on fanfiction.

You know the time of the original Toonami, a time when Fox and USA actually aired children's programming on the weekends, and of course, Nickelodeon was in its Hayday. I recently found this video

and that got me thinking about that great time when all these amazing programs would be around before we entered into an entertainment dark age where everything seemed to backslide or not progress for almost a decade. Shows like Adventure Time, My

So it's my birthday tomorrow and I am currently panicking but hey, my friends are acknowledging it this year, so at least it's better this year. It's also Labor Day on Monday, but I'll be saying my thank you today.

So school started and everything started and please do not expect anything from me anytime soon, because I have quite literally no time at all. I probably won't be on during the week very much either, so sorry about that.

Can I say how much I'm excited for that? I'm dying to see it. Btw, he got his Cutie Mark and the CMC's didn't... Oh well.

Sweetie Belle here, and I'm gonna talk about groups! Specifically, I'm gonna talk about some of the problems I see with them, and ways that they could be fixed, and then I'll go into other neat stuff on my wishlist for groups. Of course, it'd take knighty or Xaquseg to actually do any of these, and I'm pretty sure they are busy with other things.

So the story is already quite morally sketchy. A lot of the things Max does could be considered bad or even evil, but in the chapter I'm currently writing, I recognize that things get more than sketchy. It's a debate on whether or not people have certain rights, and whether or not you agree is completely up to you and how you view good and evil. I'm personally on the fence about the matter, but I feel like Max, as a character and a fictional man has grown and evolved in such a way to make such

So in my last blog, I said that I bailed on the season finale about five minutes or so into the episode -- something I've never done before. I thought that perhaps I should share why, exactly, I did this.

I've been re-watching Season 6 to prepare for and ease into Season 7, and I just finished watching “Every Little Thing She Does.” On the first watch, it rubbed me the wrong way even though parts of it made me laugh. I thought it made Starlight seem like a borderline sociopath. On the second viewing, that issue didn't seem as pronounced. True, Starlight acted purely out of selfishness, but she probably intended to lift the concoction of mind spells as soon as she got the all the activities “out

The worst thing I ever seen.

In generation 1 magical ponies can grow their manes much faster than G4 characters.

Here's a story I was working on shortly after the "Every Little Thing She Does" episode. Thanks to ECT, I have no idea what it was going to be about, but here's the flotsam that remained in Google Docs.

"It isn't working," said the young princess. She idly stirred her tea with her magic, but neglected to take a sip.

Glimmy's Lightsaber blades are now silver instead of emerald colored. I rarely retcon/Orwellian edit, but I guess this isn't the later since I'm announcing it so publically.

Silver suits her personality much more in the story and Star Wars (Legends) lore, so I changed the initial reference. If anyone catches me leaving them as green or emerald in all of the ONE chapter that has followed, let me know and I'll update.

Holidays and really random life has made the "fourteen days between updates" be kind of untenable so I'm going to the whenever its out and I feel at least like I touched on everything I wanted to model. This might make some updates rarer but this is kind of an arc end chapter for example. I feel getting the right balance of life and this takes precedence first and also this already had a lot of things running around in my head.

Here at Dueling Keyboards, we write a story.

Not just any story, however... we write Our Story.

Our Story isn't just a single story, or even a handful of stories. Rather, it'll serve as an expansive collection of stories, written by the members of the group itself, centering on a single, common theme.

I've been writing a little more than usual recently. Also, Torn Like Cotton now has a simple cover art. Nothing too special, just something I quickly made on the fly. At least it makes for a decent placeholder.
