"As I pull you out the oxygen tank..."
Same as before and here's five more!
I'll cut my usual preamble and get to the blogs point. Three Steps Back is going on a semi-indefinite hiatus. This may be dissapointing to you, especially considering this is the second fic I've put on hiatus recently, but both have good reasons and they're interlinked.
Here's a short but very lovely piece of storytelling by The Wind King, describing some of the thoughts and worries of Father Fenris from the 'Ardiverse' stories that started in 'Wolf in Pony's Clothing'.
Just so everyone knows, this is canon to my stories from now on. And it might be that Fenris will indeed return someday in the main setting!
...and it ain't mine!
Yes, the Choices: A Species Change is over. I honestly thought I'd be INCREDIBLY lucky to even get a meagre third place, the competition was intense, and I'm a relatively amateur author afterall. Then I saw some of the experienced authors on the site and their monster works.
Nearing the final few pictures left to illustrate for Beginning, I figured I had only big ones to show left. Here's one that pulls at the heartstrings. Chrys' remorse. When she accidentally blasts the Diamond Dogs unconscious thinking she seriously harmed them (but didn't).
No joke! Neither are the descriptions exactly hyperbolic. Keep careful track of what you learn, though. There are clues.
DOGS has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! But I'm afraid I am not good enough to write the story on my own. I'm looking for an Editor or two who can proofread and revise chapters, and for maybe another writer to help me fluff up my paragraphs, hopefully make each chapter twice the length they are now.

Here you go. Choose which race X deals with for the next arc.
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!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic ever. Today, we're taking a look at one of my all time favourite episodes: A Dog and Pony Show! Without wasting any more time, let's get on with the analysis! I am the Mage of Mind, reminding you, as always, that even a cheeseburger can be deconstructed to its source.

My authorial intent has been hitting something of a brick wall lately. While in my blog post two weeks ago I suggested I'd focus on Three Steps Back, I instead opted to use the May Pairings contest to advance some EQG 'verse plot lines I'd been working on. These failed spectacularly, with 4k words that...aren't *awful* but severely bloated and info dump-y. So, that went on the back-burner. This in turn led to Monday To Friday, 9 to 5 which is also a mess, but one I
It's kind of funny that despite my preference for writing in the Equestria Girls verse, my most popular fic (that I actually feel like I did a good job on) is a FIM centred one. Admittedly, it's a distorted version. Yet a version it still is.
I mentioned on a blog post of Silver Notes that i'd blatantly crib their style of data tracking posts. Both because it looks fun, and it's a good way of keeping up to date. First though, I thought it'd be nice to give a general update on how things are going.
So, new job working in a warehouse is going pretty well. I'm tired and sore and chafing, but it's a good tired and sore. Honest work, as Applejack might think of it.
But that's not why I'm posting. No, I've been catching up on my reading lately, and decided to make a small list of authors that have inspired me, continue to do so, and I feel like my life would be poorer for not having them. This'll be short and sweet.
(WIP)
Guards, and friends, and Diamond Dogs, oh my!
FLUTTERSHY: "I'd like to be a tree."
RAINBOW DASH [sighs]: "Fluttershy, I'll let you off this time because that's such a iconic, fan-loved moment, but we need to have a serious talk about how to do these captioned intros."
DIAMOND DOG: "My... precious..."
RARITY: "Oh, please, not-darling, that reference is so overdone."
