I didn't want to start the meltdown at Twitter but, considering the timing, it's all my fault! No, not gonna write Star Trek. I did get an account in the Fediverse, however, because I needed an outlet for my non-MLP writing, including talking about SF&F writing, and stuff. Immediately, Twitter broke. (At least according to the media, who really understands computer engineering—my day job.)

HELLOOO EVERYBODYYY! It's... It's... wait for it... FRIDAY! (In my time zone) You know what that means, welcome to the second addition of the FAR! Today I shall be reviewing an author--whose stories (atleast the ones here) all belong to the same universe-- whose name is Whooves235! Now, without further ado, let's get this over with, shall we? Also, I'll try not to be biased because of the fact that I dislike AppleDash and hate

This chapter was another fun one to write, and ultimately got a lot more of the character development stuff than I originally planned on including. Dare I say, this was one of my favorite chapters I’ve ever written, and I’m excited to write more in the future! As always, I’d love to hear what you think about it, so comments and feedback are always appreciated!

Hey all, a brief progress check and life update.

I'm currently in the death spiral of a high-level summer math course. Partial Differential Equations. In 4 weeks. Online.

Honestly, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. The professor is solid and understandable, but the material is a bit of a mind-bender. That, of course, has been slowing progress on the writing front.

Look who took 6 months to post an update! Apologies to those who are waiting for chapter two and any subsequent chapters. I write spontaneously, which makes it hard to do multi-part stories in a reasonable amount of time. I feel I owe some sort of update to those waiting, I didn't expect much from the Good to be Bad stories and clearly I have a story to deliver.

I suppose this will be easier if I start in the beginning and summarize.

Everything was finally looking up back in March, tech issues got dealt with in mid April and things looked perfect.

Then something really bad happened in April, which got worse in May, which led to something worse happening last month.
I've been trying to figure out how to explain this ever since I got back from an emergency facility on June 22nd 2017.

I made a mistake releasing the epilogue for Good to be Bad at like 3am or whenever I did it. It probably got buried in other updates, and by the time people actually read fics on here comes around, it'll be totally covered by stuff released at a logical time. Whoops.

I guess I'm stuck with it, but at least I learned a lesson. When I release the sequel I'll be sure to do it at a good time.

Hello again, new writing stuff soon I promise.

I'm currently at Whinny City Pony Con and will be at the Author Meet Up for Writers and Fans from 3:00 to 4:00 PM in the Mustard Mark Room! I'll be dressed as Maud. Eager to talk with people and meet new people.

Hope to see you there!

Alright, everyone! I’m finally back with an update on the “Writing of…” situation. Long story short: I intend to provide it in two formats:

1) A Google Doc. Currently, the entire thing rests within a single Doc, and as such, is darn near 1,000 pages long.

And 2) Blog Posts. Every individual chapter’s discussion will be getting its own individual BP, and in the cases where said discussion ran too long to be in one, that particular discussion will be split into multiple BPs.

Believe it or not, I am still alive, I haven’t written any blogs or stories recently, but I am alive. I had a whole idea for a March story, and while that’s something I’m happy to release, don’t expect it anytime soon.

Don’t expect anything for April either.

In fact, don’t expect another story from me for a bit.

I felt that the last Bronycon deserved remembering, recalling and recording in detail. To preserve for posterity as full a picture of it as I can manage. Because its like will not come again. That doesn’t mean the fandom is done, or that there’s any less love involved. I will be here for years to come. So will you. For all I know, the best days of FIM fanfiction are yet to come. And, after the con, I feel more connected to it than ever before.

Hey everyone!

I'm headed home to Chicago this weekend to attend My Little Pony Fair and Convention in Schaumburg (I had pipe dreams of hitting up BronyCon or TrotCon instead, but they didn't turn out)! I know it's a long shot, but if anyone else is going to be there hit me up with a PM! I'd love to meet you at the convention!
