Very INTERESTING news. Hmmmm.....

So, I submitted two fanfiction panels to Trotcon and they were both weren't accepted. This is weird, because one of them was accepted last year, and I presented it to great success!

I expect to give a talk on the structure of fimfiction at Trotcon this weekend, assuming I finish it in time. It's basically what I posted in Author clusters question.

Hello, short blog but important one. Have you ever asked yourself, or wondered if you could meet me in person?

Edit 29-January: They completed their main goal of $20,000, which gets them out of debt if I understand the circumstances correctly, and are now on to their stretch goal of $25,000, promising “Cotton Candy and Popcorn for free for all attendees” as the bonus.

Hello all-

I'll be at Trotcon all this weekend, and I'd LOVE to meet up with anyone from FimFiction who is there (just PM me bro). I already have a few takers, but I want to reiterate my offer that I put in an earlier blog post:

If you're my follower on FimFiction and we meet up at Trotcon, I'll buy you a print!

I went to Waffle House with the Wizard who stole ToonCritic's hat at Babscon. Fight me.

I have arrived at Trotcon for day 0, my dudes. I'll be lounging around the hotel a little later this evening, after Pre-reg opens at 9.

I hope to see you guys around this weekend (and hopefully at my panel on Sunday)- if you see me, feel free to say hello! If you see the guy holding the four-foot long Luna plushie, it's probably me.

See ya around!

there's a cool party going down at Trick Question's spot

Having been to Trick's parties before, I can guarantee a fun social time.

I'm giving / helping give 3 talks / panels / events in the next 2 weeks, at Trotcon and Bronycon:

Trotcon, Columbus OH, Fri July 20, 11:30 AM: Aristotle vs. Fan-Fiction

Humans are weird.  Sometimes they like to do painful or frightening things: ride roller-coasters, eat the extra-hot buffalo wings at Duff''s, climb mountains, watch horror movies.

Trotcon! I'm in room 931. I'll be in a different room Saturday.

Yak con! Yak con—not very long, come again!

I'll host a room party here Friday, starting at 7pm, and going at least until 10pm.

Announcements to follow con.

Trotcon is fast approaching, and I'd LOVE to see and meet new people from fimfiction! My badge name and fandom moniker are the same as my username here, so if you're going and you see me be sure to say hi!

My Panel, 'The Medicine of My Little Pony', is going to be from Noon-1pm on the Sunday of Trotcon, in Panel 2 (Salon B-C). It should be a really unique and fun take on different parts of the series, so I encourage you all to stop by and say hi!

Obligatory blog post! With pictures! Exclamation point!

Unrelated! But cute!

BronyCon was great! I was able to meet a bunch of writer ponies I have always wanted to meet, even though in a few unfortunate cases I had only the chance to say "hi" and "bye".

I hosted a writers' party on Friday, and then everypony came back for a dead-dog on Sunday. It was fun (though it's a bit harder to have fun when you're the host). I also inflicted a lot of pony music on the carpool I rode with.

Now I am this:

Well, I'm exhausted. Trotcon was fun, but to follow it with BronyCon the following week may be pushing things too far.

I got my hair cut depressed-Pinkie style, but the coloring came out more like Cheerilee than Pinkie.

My dudes

I am very busy. School started up the week of BronyCon (which is why I wasn't there REEEEEEE) and I have been swamped with crazy things. (Ever had to saw a dead man's head in half? I did, and I question the utility of the exercise.)

I have so many projects left to complete. I have NOT forgotten about the Cuddle collab, and I have 3-4 different stories jostling for position in my head right now. I hope to find the time to keep working on them again soon.

Hello my dudes. It is still Wednesday for like half an hour.

Okay, so, I will be attending BOTH Trotcon and Bronycon this month and I'm super psyched to go! (These will probably be my last summer cons for a few years since medical school is starting up ;-; [However, as long as I draw breath I'll be at Ciderfest and Whinny City every year :D]).

Has it really been six months since I last posted here? Sorry I've been so absent. Still haven't been reading as much as I'd like

So! A convention happened this weekend, and although I don't watch the show anymore, ponies are still cute and I wanted to see my friends. I'm really glad I went! To be perfectly honest, I haven't been in the best mental space lately, but spending time with people has helped quite a bit. Hasbro may've been onto something with MLP's subtitle

My goodness do I have a ton of news!

Look at this prime bughusband material! Resist the snuggles? You cannot.

First off, I found Thorax on Fimfiction and hunted him down:

Strategically-placed mantlerbles! These lips have already seen a hundred kisses.

Rather than post these on the first of the month like some, I prefer to aim them at significant Celestial events.

Thus it is on this <checks notes> Summer Solstice, I present to you a State of the Author.
