Chances are you’ve already heard about this year’s Jinglemas having signups open already, but if you haven’t, here’s your notice. If you’ve never done it before, I strongly encourage you to: getting a story of your chosen characters is great, but honestly, writing one for another is even better. And if you’re worried about getting characters you don’t usually use, or would rather not use, well, take it

Last week, I dove into a great new tool that Rambling Writer cooked up, one which allows one to check any Fimfic user and see how many and what percentage of their followers logged in during the last day, week, month and year. Plus any custom date range. Finally, a way to see how “active” someone’s follower count is!

I returned from the wilderness this weekend, having managed to avoid falling down scary glacial cliffsides, to discover that fanfic audio reader Illya Leonov has once again paid me the honor of creating a marvelous audiobook from one of my works!

I just got a surprise PM from Illya Leonov that he and "some friends" had recorded an audiobook of my Equestrian origin fable, The Dragon's Riddle. What Illya didn't mention is that those friends are a rogue's gallery of other top-tier fanfic audioreaders (DeftFunk, Goombasa, and Scribbler), and the result is a 10-minute collaboration that both nails the

Karine happened to enter a discussion thread about the episode, and me being the only one there, I decided to hop on the opportunity. Needless to say, once her presence was recognized, the conversation got a bit crowded. Hope y'all enjoy!

I mentioned in my previous post that I've been reviewing Fifty Shades of Neigh, which is a parody of Fifty Shades of Grey. The hero, Crispian Neigh, has a dark secret. He's a Brony.

Anyway, the group that's hosting it, Rage Reviews, is marked NSFW, and some people might not be interested in going there or in the full review.

Hope you're having fun!

I have a ton to do, but I just did a double update on Fifty Shades of Neigh in Rage Reviews. Remember, it's a NSFW group now, and there are trigger warnings for rape, violence, and sexual abuse. So I'm not providing a link--it's just that some people like to know.

Anypony up late tonight?

Wanna hear me read a story for 45 minutes?

One of the fundamental eccentricities of fanfiction is the way it is published. Because everything tends to be self-published, centralized, and loosely moderated, removing a story from circulation is a lot easier than in traditional publishing.

Tomorrow is going to be a hellacious day at work, so I've been hitting the bottle a little again. I'm not really drunk, but just drunk enough to think that it's a good idea to write this blog in transliteral Russian...because when I look back at it tomorrow, I might as well get some study in. Also because I'm studying Russian so any excuse I can get is worthwhile.

You can print things in 50ft letters. It's all there, Black and white, clear as crystal, they even NARRATE the quote out loud, and yet they still prefer to be morons and contradict what they just read and their own mockeries.

I'll use TV Tropes for this one... (Since it was written by those morons)

He doesn't seem to realize that I'm going to make it a No-Win for Snapshot and the gang ANY WAY...

First of all, let's look at the situation...
