Steampunk holds the prize as my first OC. Or, rather, a draft of him.

Steampunk was originally named "Gear Head", I had made him to impress this Pegasister I had a crush on. Gear Head was grey, with a blue "mad scientist" sort of mane and no tail. His front left hoof was replaced by a robot leg. I, of course, had no previous experience with MLP and in fact was not even a Brony at the time. I kept Gearhead in mind though, until years later. When I first watched the show.

(Blame my friend for coming up with this)

So, I've been fooling around with the Fifteen.ai and now that Rarity is an option, I decided to try out one of her iconic lines from Sunset Sexytimes:

Rarity wants to shop from the discount bin.

Also, for the Beanis-minded, Twilight has a few things to say.

Twilight introduces herself.

No, I'm a psychotic genius!!!

Well, this wasn't supposed to take this long. In any case, you may have noticed a theme with my last three stories. This was intentional.

Once upon a time, I had the bright idea that I would write a big ol' superhero story. I wanted weekly releases, I wanted it to be serialized like a shounen jump manga (I.e. the people that produce one piece, chainsaw man, dragonball etc.). When I came up with this idea, it was the story of an AU Applejack who was sometimes a super hero based on the song, I'm no superman by Lazlo Bane, and

And, I'm already sick of it. Way too hot to want to do anything but play games and eat ice cream. In fact, I've been unfortunately distracted by said activities to want to write. It's kinda making me a little disappointed in myself, but I'll find a way to fight back against the chronic laziness that is summer.

Can't wait for fall. Seriously.

I've wanted to write this one for a while, but a recent discussion in #writing-help (yes, that #writing-help) got me thinking about it again.

Alright, with that season’s greetings out of the way, time to confess a few things.

Go check it out!

Dangit man, why'd I have to go and do that to them?

And by that I mean, why did they have to do and do that to themselves. As much as letting my characters control my story is an awesome way of getting real flow and legitimate reactions, it does make things a bit more complicated to write, especially when things like broken trust is involved.

First off, a belated Happy New Year to you all!

Secondly, the results of my hiatus (or perhaps, my hiatus thus far...)

Now, I don't want to just give up on a story that I started writing. It's something I wound up doing back when I was writing Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction with my friends and we wound up abandoning a whole bunch of fun ideas we had and leaving the readers on a massive cliff-hanger.

I'm trying to drag a few memories and crap from my archives.

Give me a day and a night's sleep, and you'll have genius in return.

One thing's for certain though:

Set three of the Flutterdash contest entry reviews!

Not the action, mind you, but forcing myself to actually do it. It's doubly hard when the stuff you're working on is just fine, but you came up with a much better idea for how the story should go.

Blegh.

Stay classy.

How do you stay motivated when writing a story?

Curious Star is curious, so please lemme know what it is you do that can help you write that extra word.

Well, another bit of EQG media has landed, and it comes in the form of the 45-minute-or-so special “Forgotten Friendship.” Here are my thoughts, spoiler-free!
