*The Changeling Hive, 14 years ago*

"Go on Phary, just talk to him!"

"Tuney, no!" *ducks under Fortuna, hiding behind her forelegs* "He doesn't like me anyway..."

"You won't know that until you go see! Now shoo!" *gently pushes him towards Hivehunter*

"Eep!" *stumbles and bumps into Hive*

"Oof! Hey!" *glares at Pharynx* "What do you want?"

It's that time again... STORY TIME!

Coming later today / tonight, probably.

And, uh... whew. It's something. Was a writeoff entry, like so many of my short story publications these days started off.

Will post again when it drops.

Below are two fanfic reviews based purely on the initial impressions provided by the first chapter (or first 3k words.) For an outline of what my reviewing guidelines are, go here. Please do not request reviews!

Do you ever see the content made by other Bronies and wonder: "How did they do that?"

And then right after asking that, do you ask yourself: "How can I do that?"

Then, this panel is for you!

In this lecture, I'll be going over the initial steps to take when trying out new skills such as writing, drawing, vectoring, audio recording, and video production.

Check it out! It's even subtitled!

Well, after being on this site for three years, I have finally written a story of my own. After a while, one starts to feel ungrateful, reading every great work that the fandom has to offer but not contributing anything in return, so I decided to remedy that.

I'm reading Chrysalis stories again.

When I enjoy reading about a character, I don't want it to end. So I read everything I can of that character, until I get bored or run out of tolerable stories (almost always the latter).

Because I'm one of those damned dirty millennials I go through periods where I suddenly drop projects for little to no reason. I can't say what caused me to stop writing nearly eleven months ago and I can't promise I'm going to start writing again, but y'know, there's the chance of me getting bored and deciding to write more, especially more Bluebelle, since some of my regular TTRPGs are dying. So yeah, enjoy a blog post on a pretty much dead account. I'm still salty with myself that I stopped

I heard you on the wire back in '62...

Hey, guys!

So I'm a day late and a dollar short on this, but I figure it's still a milestone worth blogging about since, you know, this was probably the single most influential thing in my life. Whether that's true or not, this fandom's been quite the influence on me as a person and my general outlook on life. I have much to thank for the people I've met and the things that I've learned from my time in it.

That is correct, y'all!

Chapter 14: in which Twilight and the Mouse King finally have their dinner date.

You all know things aren't going to go well. Or will it? Or won't it?

You'll just have to wait to find out!

There I was, proud of the name for my villain, Dr Bittersweet.
Then I find out the same name was used for a one-shot villain in Totally Spies.

Oh, and her goal is to make everyone in the world obese with tainted girl-scout cookies. That's some social controversy on Tumblr waiting to happen. Grab your hard-hats.

I've never ever written a commissioned story before now, so this is all new territory to me. I'm pleased to announce that my first commission is finally published and ready for the viewing!

Displaced fics are stoopid.

So I made one that wasn't stoopid. It's just terrible. Terribly tragic. And there's a whole paragraph about buttcheeks.

Anyone who is following my other two stories that I have open are face palming hard right now -- but have no fear!

I've been writing on this next story for a good two weeks now, and have just finished the synopsis for the whole thing. That means that I know all of the story, and how it's going to go. And THAT means that this story is more than likely going to be finished once it's started (which is already is, technically)!

Hey, I'm NyxMoondog, but you can call me Nyx!
I created this account to get back into reading and writing fanfic, and the only thing I like nowadays is ponies. Go figure. The pony in my profile picture is my official ponysona: Reverie! I'll make a whole character sheet for him at some point, along with my absurdly growing list of other characters, but for now, I'm turning my attention to actually starting and finishing a proper fic, so wish me luck ( ˶´ ˘ `˶) ♡

It's so easy to give up when it comes to telling stories in general. Triply so (if not more) when it comes to telling stories of the fan fiction genre.

Even with a compulsion to share with the world any number of stories stuck in your head, there comes a point where it may not seem worth the effort.
