I'm making reasonably decent progress on two of my stories, and if I stay with it, I should be able to post something new soon. In the course of working on "The Blue and the Grey" though, I find myself with a dilemma. At the end of the last chapter, I made the choice to introduce a canon character as a potential antagonist, namely Chancellor Neighsay. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I realize that it has just made things more complicated. The problem is that I haven't seen most

I've been looking over things recently, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised to see the level of activity on this site after so many changes over the years. I'm also surprised at how the Gen 5 stories are doing here. It seems like things will not peter out on this site anytime soon.

Who in Canada thought it was a good idea to air two new episodes a week? I think little kids can wait a week for a new episode--I know I survived a week between each new episode of (insert favorite childhood show here). And now the Internet has taken advantage of this schedule, and I gotta watch the episodes so I don't have to worry about spoilers... and post thoughts on them, because it's a thing I'm doing now.

Decided to post this closer to the US airdate so that I don't burn myself out on 2 episodes a week (though Canada's now just airing reruns and we've got a mid-season hiatus thing now...). My Memorial Day celebration was done yesterday, so I'm pretty much doing things as normal at work and home today.

Welp, guess I better get this one over with... I was putting this one off for a bit... I wasn't exactly looking forward to this one...

This is mostly notes, ruminations and bit of planning of "The Greatest Game" fic I am trying to write, based off earlier idea outlined in Evil League Of Evil blog post I wrote some time ago. It's chock-full of SPOILERS, so you may not want to read ahead. Just a fair warning.

So, I was watching a video recently:

The producer in question made some excellent points about Fluttershy's skill sets, how she has earthpony-like abilities (talking to animals) magical abilities (The stare, which is a form of domination) and pegasi abilities. He opined that the best example of her talent there was when she is in Flutterbat form.

Almost exactly a year ago, I sat down and wrote up a checklist of very general plot points that I wanted to cover for Split Second: An Eternity Divided. I wrote down fifteen major points that I wanted to cover, not including whatever I chose to end the story with. I had no idea how long it would last me, but I figured that would be good. I couldn’t really think of anything else to add beyond the fifteenth point, and figured that I would just wrap the story up after that.

*learns that The Washouts are a group of pegasi* Oh, come on! Does every daredevil have to be a pegasus? I'd love to see an earth pony--or heck, maybe even a unicorn--that does stunts. Like a canon version of Olive except an adult professional and not a teenager with attitude.

And so... after five seasons, Lightning Dust has returned.

5120 words.

Chapter coming along nicely, but man I'm going to feel bad about Scootaloo in this story. I mean sure I feel great that I got so much done today.

Would anyone be interested in fic commissions from me? I'm thinking a flat rate of $50 for 2500 words.

There would be some strict rules about what I will and won't write, of course, but I've been needing some extra money and this seems like a good way to get it without burning myself out.

What do you guys think? Is that something you'd be interested in?

Alright, I have finally gotten around to finishing the long series of stories that began with "The Perfect Little Village of Ponyville", with the generous help of my co-writer and "voice of Fluttershy", Hope:

I loved it!

I liked the idea of Twilight Sparkle going to Crystal Prep, because it reminded me of something Pinkie said in the first movie. Can you find it?

But what I didn't like was that basically throughout the whole movie, I was thinking, "Fuck the Shadowbolts and that Cinch for being so cruel to Twilight. Is winning all you care about?!"

Well we finally have a real name for the commander and her story is coming along nicely from my brain. I don't know why but for some reason dear readers I keep getting new ideas for another story while I'm working on another one so after I finish that chapter I go and work on the new idea for the other story before I forget and then something else new comes to me for another story and so on.

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.

Stumbled today across another story of what happened in Canterlot during the Storm King invasion. Oh my...I'm not sure what to think. By description, it reminds me of what I have planned, though it certainly isn't identical by any stretch. I guess it shows that someone else had a similar insight as to some of the problems with the movie's plot, which I guess shows that I was onto something. (it is a bit silly to think that I was the only one who noticed) It sounds though like he took a much

Everyone in my family has been in the United States Military. Every one of them have served active duty. If you've ever got a letter saying they aren't coming home then you understand what the fic will contain. An act of heroism in some's eyes can lead to self loathing for the one the hero saved.
Rainbow Dash did her duty to Equestria, and now those she saved will start picking up the pieces of their shattered heart.

Since a lot of people have some thing to say, go ahead and say it down here for the love of god.

Y'all🥺🥺🥺 I've been having suicidal thoughts lately, and I don't know why. 😔😔 Even my Google's catching on. It said "Suicide Prevention Hotline 988" when I was simply searching how many Midol it'd take till I died. 😳😳😳😳

Comfort me in the comments please, or else I'll die🥺🥺😭

I am currently aching from running a Dirty Dash today, have been making some final small preparations for my family's California trip and hoping I don't end up forgetting anything, and here I am deciding to jump in with quick thoughts on today's episode, given that I won't be able to give myself a few days to chew on it. So...

You know... I'm happy to embrace this new Gen when it comes.

Let's put aside the creepy smiles for a moment eh? But jokes aside, seriously I am. I'm running out of stories to tell for G4. I want a new world to play around in.
