Hahahaha guess who forgot he was going to spend the entire weekend at Con on the Cob until it was already long past chapter posting time?

:disgaea:

So yeah, no SOAT for this previous week. My apologies for not announcing it in advance. :V

I always bring a special shirt with me to conventions: the purple shirt with the black cuffs, the shoulder tabs, and the roll-up sleeves. Some might call it a cosplay – it is the shirt that my OC wears, after all – but to me, it's something even more special. It's a way for me to slip into someone that I choose to be, someone who's been a big part of who I am for over a decade, someone who is confident and competent and just wants to spend a weekend making people happy, and somepony who,

It's becoming less likely that the next scheduled chapter of To Serve In Hell will get done by 11/1. Preparations for Ponyville Ciderfest this coming weekend have been sucking up my free time, and I have some things I need to read for people ASAP... it's just best to call it now. I'm going to aim for either 11/15 or 12/1, and I'll post back once I figure that out.

It's that time again! BABSCon is this weekend in San Francisco! Everyone interested should join our chat room on Discord. https://discord.gg/Ana2ctp We'll use that to send updates and let people meetup for meals/rides/drinks/etc.

We (writers) are having a room party again this year. Should be in a full suite this time, and plenty of drinks will be available. Keep an eye on the chat and we'll post there as soon as we know what room we're in.

I AM GEEKING OUT LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA, MAN!!

As the Matoran say before a kohlii match, play well!

Edit: Now with YouTube video!

And now, an appropriate follow-up video.

I'm in an important staff position, so I have to be on call, but if any of y'all want to meet me there, drop me a message and I'll try to find time between events.

If you live in the DFW area, you should drop me a message either way, as I run a fan club in that area.

I'll try to post the final part of DiN chapter 7 and the first part of the followup to What's Your Problem? before then...

Dammit to hell, I wanted a chapter out before I had to write another blog post. The store I work at is moving, so a liquidation sale started. This is drawing in a massive amount of people and the managers have been piling on hours. I wanted to have chapter 20 done by Christmas and be working on previous chapter edits by now, but...that just didn't happen.

Feels like an eternity since I've been to a con in person, so to say I'm excited for Everfree would be an understatement.

So I went to Comic Con again

And of course it was AMAZING!!!!!!

But besides chilling with friends, seeing amazing cosplays, and going broke from the amazing merchandise I bought, there's one extra plus.

Well, make that two extra pluses.

Guess who just bought a Sweetie Belle and Button Mash plushie?

That's right! They were expensive, but they were worth it!! And they are so cute!!!!!

We got a Mane-iac doll last year. We're getting a Power Ponies toy collection, with Fashion Style Zapp and everything.
Who's to say we can't get Power Pony Equestria Girls dolls?! I mean, Maneiac is already canon to EqG, just add the entire squad!

My first printed book project!!

A Bad Day For Grumpy Goat

is almost ready to offer!!

I will be doing other tales too.  These are going to be offered at a low wholesale to convention folks as inexpensive convention merchandise.  They will also be available at the regular price to others.

Howdy folks!

I may have mentioned this in passing before but I’d like to formally announce that I’ll be attending Everfree Northwest 2022!

I’ve got 3 brand new copies of the Rainbow Factory collection, signed and ready to find the hands of the first RF cosplayers I see; be they Dr. Atmosphere, Absentia, or our deranged Director herself, Factory Dash!

Okay, so! An update! I've managed to escape my rather... soul crushing job, so woo! For the time being, I'm able to be a full time writer. At least, until I can get all of my other stuff sorted. Things will be tight for a little bit, but at least they'll be better than they were. Fortunately, this ALSO means I'll be able to get full time writing DONE! Super duper-excited about this! I'll be starting that next week, so expect writing updates to become more frequent. Hoping to finish Book 3 of

Eeyup, tallied up the number from all my combined stories like a lot of other folks on here have been doing lately.

That's over two years' worth of cumulative work, although if I had experienced peak productivity in that time frame the final number could have ended up well past the 500k threshold. In retrospect, 358k is way more than I had expected, so I really can't complain

Right-o, that said onto some other quick stuff.
