When doing stories set in the past... please do your research. · 2:19am Feb 26th, 2020

Not knowing what you are writing about can... cause issues.

Example:
My dad read a book set in London and he was a bit annoyed that the author had characters riding bikes... 200 years before they were invented.

Extreme example.

It's Gotta be asked · 8:54pm Mar 20th, 2023

What was your first gaming system? For me it was a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or SNES). My mama had a friend who would often bring his new system over to play games on. It mostly ended being me and my older brother playing it, so he actually gave it to us! Mind you, I had to have been maybe 1-2 years old at the time, but understood and could work the system (just as much as I could work my brother's Playstation [1].). I remember the hours I'd alternate between reading books, playing

"A Most August Peace" Author's Notes: List of References · 2:32pm Oct 16th, 2017

As you might have noticed, I just released a new story, A Most August Peace. This story was an eleventh-hour entry into Ebon Quill's Dazzlings Contest, and was written in a 30-hour frenzy (with breaks to sleep and eat and other stuff, but still pretty frenzied nonetheless).

Pony Class Starship stuff! · 3:30am Dec 7th, 2016

I've been working on a Midgardian Union Banner (the world uniting government that was in power before the aliens initiated a strike on earth, was the one to organize the escape/evacuation from earth before it was majorly destroyed in the asteroid strikes.) It will PROBABLY (not definitely) be the Banner of the North Star Rike.

I was looking up the characteristics of a Napoleon (the US Civil War name for a 12 pounder cannon, named after one of its most enthusiastic users) for off-handed mention in a fanfic, and of course, I spelled it Neighpoleon.

Perspective: A Modify NaNoWriMo Goal for 2018 · 3:41am Nov 1st, 2018

Well, it is that time of the year again. In a few hours, (or none) it will be November 1st. The annual time to start writing for National Novel Writing Month. For those uninitiated, the goal is to write 50,000 words or more for the month of November. The point is to get writers to write the minimum amount of words required for a novel, the 50K count. As an aspiring novelist and avid reader, the NaNoWriMo as always fascinated me. So, you think I would be brimming with joy for this month. But I

The History of Fimfiction Project Progress Update · 7:36pm Nov 13th, 2019

So a while ago I posted a blog post indicating I intended to write a history of fimfiction. Since then, I've been shooting out emails to some authors and getting their feedback from a small survey meant to both collect information on the history of My Little Pony Fanfiction and get a good idea of how the writing community operates.

What Is The Worst Year In History? · 3:20pm Sep 2nd, 2020

Because I've been doing some research and, according to the scientists, they've found what was, in essence, the worst year for humans to be alive.
And, contrary to what you might see on Social Media...It's nowhere recent.
In fact, it puts our problems into perspective. 2020's got nothing on it so far.

Are you ready?

Just thought it might make things look a bit better, perspectively.

Historical sources and issues · 3:32am Jan 22nd, 2017

Now for a little fun and history.

A few months back, I was studying the Spanish Conquest of Mexico, ultimately having four different authors providing me details. While a lot of the data lined up, some of it didn't, or contradicted, or had another issue come up.

The following videos are about the same battle; Teutoburg Forest, 9 AD. Although they feature the same event, both of them have major differences that might help you see the historian's problem of conflicting information;

Medieval Coroner Reports · 4:23pm Dec 23rd, 2017

On Saturday, August 9th, 1298, a candle on the wall in a small shop in Oxford fell onto the floor and ignited the straw flooring. John and Alice Trivaler, the husband and wife operators of the shop, that was also their home, rushed out of the burning building; however, no sooner than when they reached safety, to Alice's utter horror, she remembered her infant son of only four weeks was still in his crib. She hastened back into burning building and was ultimately overwhelmed by the

The “History” they teach you in grade school, middle school (also called junior high school) and high school isn’t as accurate as they would like you to believe.

Vren55's Wild Idea, The Fanfiction of My Little Pony - A Community History · 6:49am Sep 29th, 2019

So, pardon my tagging everybody following Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen here because this is a highly interesting project idea that I would like people's opinion on and feedback, because I am in the middle of stabilizing my job and I suddenly now want to write a serious history of the MLP writing fandom.

Bhutan's China Policy · 3:45am Oct 8th, 2022

Most of the world (the United Nations) have agreed to a 'One China' policy, it essentially means that they must recognize either the People's Republic of China or the Republic of China (Taiwain). Bhutan doesn't recognize either.

Fan-fiction and the geography of freedom · 10:13pm Mar 30th, 2017

I like to snark at Europeans who say personal liberty started with the French Revolution. The American Revolution created a representative government with guaranteed civil liberties. The French Revolution created a representative government that terrorized its own people. The American Revolution had a lot more American-on-American violence than high school textbooks admit--for instance, Washington marched an army against the militias of Western Pennsylvania--but a lot less head-chopping than

A Juneteenth Message · 6:23pm Jun 19th, 2020

The Video on YouTube

Happy Juneteenth every pony! I felt that this year, I really ought to do a video on Juneteenth. So today for your benefit I threw on the old soldier suit and sweated out a statement that, while far from comprehensive, is at least I hope meaningful. Here's hoping it'll be a National Holiday soon!
