For some reason, one thing I absolutely love to death is JRPG tropes. I’m talking stuff like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, stuff concerning party composition, storyline tropes, and all that jazz.

It’s apparently gone so far that I want to write some MLP JRPG thing. It includes all this party composition, enemy tropes, and stuff like that. This may be because I’m playing through Dragon Quest VI and I honestly love it a lot.

Cloudhammer and Noble Cause have lost a pet, an apartment, and most of their belongings.

I don't know either of them very well, but I know they could use help if possible. Here's Jake's post that points to their GoFundMe.

Hey folks! I'm so grateful to all of you who've helped make "Reaping Rainbow" a surprise hit and given me helpful feedback! Props especially to my editing team of Reese, Generous Gypsy, and E3gner, as well as my best pal and illustrator Greenfinger for doing the cover art. Anyway, if you like the work of Sir Terry Pratchett and seeing homages to his work in your horsewords, well, check these stories out while I work on the next few chapters of the story.

Wow, this is at least the second one-shot I’ve written involving ponies eating pizza. What were the odds of that?

For better or worse, not pre-read by anybody. Just like a Little Caesar’s Hot and Ready doesn’t get any inspection before it goes out the door . . . helps keep the price low, y’know?

I've been fortunate enough to have all of my fics make it into the Popular Box at one point or another. But now, I've done the impossible.

I've made it into the Featured Box.

To my credit, I've been calm and and haven't lost my cool despite this amazing honor--

So if I'm snarky/rude or giddy/slap-happy, I purely blame my lack of sleep last night. And the night before. And the night before that. And so on. I... am a light sleeper. If I hear-a-loud-noise/feel-something/see-a-bright-light, I will likely wake up. It also takes an hour or so of staying still to get to sleep... Blegh, it doesn't help when a certain someone I will not name decides to watch a movie/tv at normal volume.

Yes, that's right, everyone--my longest story, If You Give a Little Love, has been accepted to Equestria Daily! This is my first-ever EqD acceptance, but it may not be my last--I'm thinking of submitting Paging Doctor Sparkle in the future as well. In any case, this is as much a cause for celebration as any, and I have all of you to thank for it!

... though not for lack of trying. In between a layoff and a vacation at my new job, I've been working the work of three people. (At least I've been earning double paychecks due to all the OT.) The death march hopefully should ease up this week.

As a reminder that I'm still around, new story in the morning! A minific that started life in one of the Quills & Sofas speedwriting competitions back in like ... mid-August.

Well. That’s a good way to summarize it, yes.

I'm so sick of it, guys.

I'm so sick of hearing about this episode. Almost a week has passed and I'm still having the words 'The writers hate us!' blasted into my eyes every time I open up my feed.

Look...

Maybe you didn't like the episode. That's fine, my problem isn't in whether you like the episode or not, it's in how you choose to express your opinion.

so glad to say that
1. very glad i decided to publish The Dreamweaver, and even more glad that so many people like it.
2. As of two days after it got published, it has over a thousand view, 116 likes, and yesterday it had the heat/hot symbol. i honestly don't use the site enough to know exactly what that is or how you get it but i assume it just means the story is popular? also:

• Number of bookshelves: 322
• Tracking: 101

i'm so happy, honestly.

GM Berrow: I'm still at the airport.

Heartshine: Okay, so, she's going to be late. So, how do you write female characters?

Amy Keating Rogers: Women are people. Just write them like people.

MA Larson: What she said.
