Random Idea #69: TCB vs FiO · 3:10pm Oct 4th, 2019

Both stories are about some variant of Celestia trying to turn humans into ponies, though depending on interpretation CelestAI is somewhat less malicious about it due to being basically programmed that way. I'd get the feeling that CelestAI would read the NewFoals as being … warped enough to be no longer humans, and an active force taking her "subjects" away from her. So Horse Skynet vs Magic Horse invasion or something.

Good guy CelestAI? Maybe?

Badly done rant about TCB origins and wasted potential. · 5:09pm May 27th, 2015

A remark in this blogpost prompted me to start talking about TCB again, and my comment quickly turned into this gigantic mess. I'm not a writer, just one of your better reader and commenters, but jeez I am surprised I have this much I want to talk about with TCB. It got so big that I've made it a blogpost instead of a comment. If I wanted to do this properly I'd dig through old Ponychan threads (with broken links

Screaming Around the Turkey - Dealing With Differences at Thanksgiving and Beyond · 8:49pm Nov 26th, 2019

As we lead up to Thanksgiving and all the stereotypical conflict that surrounds the dining table, I am mindful of how intensely polarized our society has become. It is becoming harder and harder for people to remain friends, it seems. Recent days have reminded me how grateful I am for the friends I've made over the years, and the lessons we've learned from our own conflicts. I have decided to share some of these lessons with you, in the hopes that it will make your lives and the lives of those

Trying something new · 2:36am Jan 25th, 2019

Well, several things, actually. A short time ago I wrote a story at Alex Warlorn's request for his 'Conversion Bureau: Not Just Ponies' setting, and it's been posted and will hopefully be approved soon. It's also different in that it's all OCs in it. References are made to several canon characters like Ember, Starlight Glimmer, and Twilight, but the main characters are all new. I hope you folks like them.

Us and Them · 8:50am May 13th, 2017

This was originally going to be a comment posted in response to one of the blogs written by the authors of The Other Side of the Spectrum in response to recent events, but it turned into a wall of text so I decided to make it a proper blog post instead.

The Hat Man Reviews! [The "Negotiations" Series] · 9:16pm Sep 5th, 2016

Ah, "The Conversion Bureau." Along with the "Displaced" genre and "Anon" stories, Conversion Bureau stories are a type of story I generally dislike. There are exceptions, but they're pretty few and far between. As in I've read exactly one story in each of these categories where I've had neutral to positive feelings about. The subject of this review is less of a Conversion Bureau story and more of a so-called "deconstruction" of the genre. Fillies and gentlecolts, ladies and gents, I give

Permanent Daylight Savings Time Review · 7:44pm Mar 24th, 2022

So, the Senate says by a vote of 100 to 0, “We want permanent daylight savings time!!!!!” My response? “I AGREE 100%!!!!!!!!!!!”

The clocks changing is the most stupidest most pointless thing and I say that as someone with an ultra flexible sleep schedule, who doesn’t even notice the change. Statistics show that harm it does to too many people.

May the pony be with you · 3:19am Jan 11th, 2016

Oh man... Saw Star Wars, again. And it is still AMAZING!!!!! Seriously. Go watch it. The down side is that I decided to leave my window open and the temp dropped by like 30°F and it decided to start raining/snowing. So needless to say, my flat is a bit on the chilly side. Which is why I'm snuggled here in fuzzy pants, a long sleeve shirt and super warm cow blanket.

The Deets · 6:30am Mar 27th, 2016

The TCB story revolves around a central theme, "Don't Put Your Dick In Crazy."

Remember that.

My job, as the author, is to convince you otherwise. And if you do. Even for a second. Ha!

Had an Interesting Conversation with a NelNet person today.... · 10:23pm May 7th, 2019

In a long, rambling, somewhat awkward conversation about how $500 a month is a huge amount for me to try and pay right now, I mentioned I'd made about $100 on writing My Little Pony Fanfiction, and the NelNet representative was like "Oh, I draw those for money!"

Here's to you, NelNet girl! Hope your book about bees takes off so you can quit working at NelNet! :V

Truth Is Up · 9:15pm Mar 25th, 2016

Six years.

For six years she has slept in a coma and now she has awakened. The entire world wants her to die for her crimes. Equestria wants her to die for her lies. Even I will admit I just want to see her die so I can move on with my life.

But before I say goodbye to my mentor, the former Princess Celestia, I have to ask her one question.

Writing 101: The Logistics of Large Casts/Conversations in Prose · 5:07am Feb 28th, 2018

In the past, I’ve advocated learning from cinema, trying to use and translate the same techniques into prose. I use terms like “blocking” and “off-screen” to refer to things in prose.

Today, however, I’d like to discuss one of the major differences between visual media and prose. It also happens to be one of prose fiction's greatest weaknesses: scenes and stories with a large number of characters.

Princesscipal Celestia; or, A Lesson On Universal Constants and Power Levels · 3:27am Apr 8th, 2017

Princess Celestia is in charge. Whether she is powerful, or competent, or even mildly sane is variable, but that which remains is that what Sun Horse says goes. Regardless of the story, regardless of the universe, Princess Celestia always runs the show, at least at the start. No matter the size of the show.

Let's get this started.
