...and as predicted, bronies kinda stole the election. Maybe that had something to do with me only posting this first poll here...?
Naaaaah!
Moving on, a quick preview of the possible fics to vote on this month that are all MLP:FiM related:
...'cause why not?
So, for my new readers who came in during my (shall we say) "blue period," I didn't always work on one fanfic at a time. My initiation of the project that turned into My Empire of Dirt and Music Box Blues and the resulting sabbatical from the rest of my work was detailed in the Author's Notes blog post here, so I won't rehash them.
So after nearly two weeks of very frustrating writer's block, I squeezed out a few moments to take up Admiral Q Ponyform on the offer to help brainstorm. While the interaction was short, it was somewhat effective, in that I now have some notion of what the next plot hook gets to look like for the main character to proceed through the next phases of the story.
Work will proceed, and I'll be keeping everyone updated.
So as mentioned in a blog post, I was a bit creatively blocked thanks to a total vocabulary fail on my own part. (Thanks again to all those who did their best to help me find a completely fictitious word referencing a total fantasy concept, it was an uphill task to begin with) I'm still trying to hunt down/create that damn word, but if necessary I'll restructure the current chapter to avoid its need and revisit the
Good Evening everypony! It's snowy down here where I live, so it's a perfect night to curl up and read some quality pony fiction!
As a reminder, we've got the Everfree NW Scribblefest 2017 running! Check this out for the details! As always, we've got a little bit of everything for you this lovely Sunday evening!
Wow, that received some positive attention pretty fast!
Not only do people keep constantly asking me repeated questions I already answered, but they idiotically ignore that the fic has already answered their questions in ways that even a 5 year old can get (Either that or they just ignore it completely to act like twits)
Using the term "BLIND SPOTS" is my little new way of insulting people who Don't think the situation through, or are simply unaware of their surroundings.
Let's use my own STARLFEET and other fics as examples...
It has been a month since the defeat of the Metarex, and because of Cosmo's ultimate sacrifice, life goes on; for the universe, for Mobius, and her citizens.
Every now and then I have to remind myself what things I have control over and what I don't.
Things I can control:
I can write stories about whatever ideas I happen to have
I can ask advice about how to make them better
I can decide who I want advice from and who I don't for whatever reason
I can listen to that advice, or I can decide not to listen for whatever reason
I can spend as much or little time on a story as I feel like spending.
I can edit a story whenever I want.
Well I felt like making a blog on this account for no reason in particular. Maybe I'll have it as an introduction.
Yeah. I have a better idea of how I want to do the plot. I left the old version of the first chapter up, though.
A comment was posted in 2020 regarding me, and And I'm afraid the person's got things horribly backwards, and contradicting. ( I will name no names)
Better people than I have pointed out legitimate flaws with his fics and he still got upset about them.
Because it doesn't matter if you are civil. You are still trying to Boss me around, and demanding I make MY STUFF to suit YOUR preferences. (Turning the fic into something I do not like or want)
Decency...
Morality...
Human Nature...
...such things have hardly any place or meaning in stories, not anymore. Just because you HAVE such things doesn't mean you'll use them... nor are they welcome here,
So Beast Boy let go of a Terra...
-He did a Good thing for Terra (Not for himself) and people may call him mature, as a sign of growing up and willing to let go of the past and move on to his own future.
So, I was just listining to music and reading some fanfiction of Dragon ball z where a guy becomes the copy of goku mr. popo has from dragon ball and has all of the memories of the guy and both goku and kakarot(preheadbonk goku)
Sometimes it’s hard to leave a comment. Sometimes you have an idea of what you want to say, but can’t get it out right. Let me tell you: IT’S OKAY.
Say you want to gush about a fanfic but you’re not good with the words? A simple “I loved this!” is fine. But don’t say nothing. Let authors know you liked what they got.
Thassall.
Also maybe a new story soon.
Maybe.

Hey what's up folks and friends, it's ya boi, Tact.
So, lately, I've been putting off writing in general (both Fim and fanfiction) because I wanted to restart my YouTube account. While, yes, I do have projects I'm still working on, I namely read nowadays and I wanted to somehow corporate that into my YouTube channel. While I'm no Brendaniel nor any other popular fic-reader, I thought it'd be a good idea nonetheless.
