Around a year and a half from now I'm going to be shipping out for the U.S Navy.

Now. As for how this affects my time spent on this website I am uncertain. Although as soon as I know my deployment date (since I'm going in full active duty) I will let everyone know at least a week in advance. And I'm already working on figuring out who I'm going to pass the torch too when it comes time although, I really don't know if this is still going to be around in twenty years but who knows.

I've been brainstorming a scene from one of my stories that I have yet to write and I did not want to forget the cadence the characters chant before pulling a stunt that would put them in the spotlight of that part of the book.

So, it's been a few months, and Soldier of Equestria was quite fun to write, even though some parts were a chore. I've been thinking of writing a sequel of sorts to SoE. Not a "sequel" sequel, but rather a series of spin-offs dealing with the titular soldier and his adventures through Equestria.

What do you guys think?

My latest story got featured - an incredible honor. I've been reading some of the comments and I've noticed that a few people have some concerns about whether the battles referenced make sense, the actions of Celestia, and the fact that Brace Girdle isn't a very nice person.

I feel silly here, well I did until I Googled "MLP and PTSD"... I was a bit surprised and a little excited to see so many results. I of course wish none of us(those with PTSD and other Mental Health problems who found solace in a cartoon about ponies) had this at all. I have alot to say on the matter however find myself unable to write right now(a lack of time and a surplus of painful hands). I do want to just express how awesome it is that there is others, it's very typical for me to feel

Yes! It is I! Ruby the Great and Soon-To-Be-Well-Read, and also Not Dead. It's been far too long since we've last spoken, but it's also been far too busy and stressful lately to be able to tack anything down here, as I'd have next to nothing to report. But for now, I do have something to report: A completed book, and a soon to be completed book. That is, Rosseau's The Social Contract (complete) and Martin Van Creveld's A History of Strategy: From Sun Tzu to William S. Lind

So, hello again, it's been well over a month since the last chapter of Bluebird, huh? I know someone asked about it in the comments section but the next chapter is on its way, as of writing it's been sent to the editor, who will take as much time as they need to look it over. Once they are happy with it, it'll be up.

To hold you over, I thought I'd make a few things clear to you all:

New artwork for "The Army's Not The Army Anymore" has been uploaded, currently a placeholder for coverart. Enjoy.

I was just wondering, why hasn’t anyone created a TV tropes page about this story?

I would’ve made one if I knew how to do the way I wanted buuuuut………:(

I know that nobody's likely awake to read this right now, but I just heard... Paris was recently attacked by a set of simultaneous terrorist attacks. So many are dead now. I can't even fathom why people have the mind to do these things to other people. All the attackers are reported dead thanks to the efforts of Parisian police and other emergency security forces.

Something happened this week, two events (one this monday and another one today) that, when come together, creates something that I never thought would happen, at least not this way. Those who lives or are keeping a watch of the events happening in Venezuela will have a very good idea of what I'm talking about and to those who know I'll tell you that this event will be featured in Living Insane because it just fits so well with the theme of the story.

One of the things that got most of us into MLP was the lighthearted spirit of adventure that permeates the series. Yes, there is drama, and fear and even hard lessons, but there is also music, jokes and straight up fun. Combined they make the series neither too heavy dramatically nor too fluffy with no drama at all. One story that follows this rule is Farmer Bruenor Has Some Ponies by

Greetings small ponies! It is I, Ziltoid the Omniscient and writer of War Against the Sun, broadcasting telepathically into your minds once again about an update as to my readings from the mile-long list of books. This time, it was Clausewitz's On War, a very solid book, if but very long and very dense in its language. Apologies for the radio silence, I've been very busy and also trying to read this 200-year-old book. I recently got a job at a local factory and will continue to work there for

Hi 3verypony,

I have a lot of knews since the last.

I have decided with a heavy hoof to my heart, that I will not be acquiring another NFT girlfriend like I promised I would. The thought behind this stems from an article I read about a person in Japan losing his waifu because the company hosting it lost its internet connection. The idea of buying and being attached to my NFT gf and then losing her is too painful, so for now I will elect to remain shingle.
