I've been trying to keep an eye on some of the new stories coming on to the site recently. It's great to see that interest in our favorite story line hasn't diminished, but there is one thing that I find a bit odd, the widespread use of anonymous characters. I've always felt that naming a character is quite important (in fact, I've made it a habit of using the names of famous race horses for my original characters. Hopefully it doesn't get me in trouble) O.K., maybe I just answered my own

I was just flipping through some of my old blog posts today, and I was puzzling over the lack of feedback. Not that I'm that surprised that blog posts don't tend to get much, and it's not like I'm that popular a writer and have thousands hanging on my every word. I myself rarely comment on blog posts, except recently to make a suggestion or two or in one case try to send a word of encouragement to a young writer who's going through a rough patch. I guess I don't understand how a blog is

Yesterday, just as a change of pace, I shut off my access to adult rated stories. I know, it's not the best choice, as I will miss out on some stories that deal with mature themes. But I was just getting turned off by all the porn that seems to proliferating on the site (or at least that's what it looks like). And I get that it's a major part of the fanbase, and I'm not advocating the idea of turning everything here into G rated fluff. (And I do read some of it, and not just for the drama) But

I've been plowing ahead these last few days on the long delayed next chapter of "Danger Close", and I think I can say that it will be finished by next week. I should ideally feel a certain sense of pride, were it not for the fact that it has taken me close to two years to get this far. It's not that surprising as such things go. There are a lot of stories out there that have stalled out over the years, basically because life goes on, and distractions come up in life. I hope that there is still

It's interesting to see some Gen 5 stuff going on here on the site. Now I know it's not just Friendship is Magic on here, even though G5 is technically the same universe. Anyways, this blog post is to show that I have returned to the site. I might post a NEW series of fictions which will be a new GX story, even though some of the characters referenced are from different universes altogether from it. I have thought about doing this for a couple days now, so I decided to post to show

Nope, binge still hasn't let up.

Finally managed to break two minutes in Crisis City Act 2.

Then my friend, whom I've been having friendly Time Attack competitions with in Sonic games since 2009 succinctly told me:
"Do it on the 360."

Which ultimately confirmed my suspicions: 30fps is SUCH a handicap on a game this fast.

So I bought him a Steam copy.

No excuses now, pal. You've got 18 seconds to make up now.

Finally got the next chapter out, and I'm looking forward to finishing my first story in the next few weeks. I have been tempted to try other ideas, but I've seen way too many incomplete stories out there, and I don't want to take a chance on this being one of them.

Yesterday, I decided to take the plunge on what will be my fourth story, which will be a sequel to "The Good Fight". I can't help but wonder if it's a good idea to move into new territory with two other stories sitting incomplete. The idea for this one has been buzzing around in my head for quite awhile. And with the other two still needing some serious thought, partly because of the fact that they're connected to each other subject wise, maybe getting this new one off my to do list will help.

Did you ever get all the way through a blog entry...actually post it...and then notice that what you were saying was totally wrong? Had that experience today. Not a pretty picture. I guess I'm just not great at the blog thing, as I use mine for discussion, not just personal stuff. I'll work on it though. Hopefully next time I'll actually be half as profound as I think I am.

Today I did something that seems wrong, but necessary. I deleted my most recent blog post. Now I know that in theory at least blogs are supposed to me one's thoughts in real time, unvarnished and true. So why does one do such a thing?

So, to anyone who actually check out my blog, not that I usually have much to say, I do have a stories coming slowly down the pipeline. It's not that I haven't been focused just well, more distracted I should say. But hey, who hasn't had that excuse.

A list of fics that i have been working on here and there.

Specifically, what3words, a global addressing system that assigns every ten foot-by-ten foot square of the Earth's surface its own unique set of three random words. It's been around for a few years, but I only just became aware of it. Why am I mentioning it?

I'm in the middle of a discussion with a artist on DeviantArt about MLP:TM. He went through the story and compared it to stories like the Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, in terms of the formula used and the quest concept of one hero surviving trials and saving the day. It rings very true in terms of how the movie was constructed, and the plot elements that were used. But I had to admit to him that the formula didn't work for me.

Hey guys. I'm still alive and covid-free. I hope everyone is holding up okay during these troubling times. My family and I are managing fairly well. We feel it like everyone else does, but in light of what some have gone through, we've been fortunate so far.

I have many ideas for stories I can write, but only recently have I created a working system to be able to write them all...

With the end of Gen. 4, is there anyone still here who will read our tales of adventure, love, and heroism (or...you know...tales of normal pony life)?...

*shakes head* Wha?! Oh right, the blog post.

You may have noticed the new avatar! It's a picture a good friend of mine made for me at my request.

Queen Haven was placed under arrest, and a warrant was issued for Princesses Zipp and Pipp as well. Obviously, this is not an off-with-their-heads absolute monarchy, and that is a good thing. However, one cannot help but wonder what manner of checks and balances Zephyr Heights has that allows the tables to be turned almost instantaneously.
