hi all, dunno how many you are still even active in the year 2023 but I might actually have a pony fic on the way! can you believe it?

Now we’re at the half way point, I thought I’d post a few thoughts about each episode.

A busy day today for people I follow – four new stories in my feed, from three different authors, including the long-absent Darf, who is oft spoken of in hushed tones, for fear that he might return if you said his name in front of a mirror three times.
Seems someone finally did. And so, I thought, what better way to welcome him back from two years of absence than to review two of his new stories?
I’m so sorry.
In an attempt to re-energize my writing, I re-read a bunch of excellent stories in the last few days. But of course, it would be terrible for me to keep these to myself; while many of these are fandom classics, and others should be, if you somehow haven’t read them, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Hoofprints is perhaps one of my favorite pieces of writing on the site, and it is a pity it is hidden away in a short story collection; much like
I've just spent about two hours reading through Humility, and damn do I want to write for it again.
So I'm, uh, gonna start doing that soon.
On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... 4 dead nutshack memes...
most likely i'll be putting it up on offprint.net since I'm already familiar with that site myself (despite it being in a VERY beta-y stage still)
Writers have been busy little bees, so it is time for me to be a big busybody.

This episode almost made me spill my drink on the screen. The reveal that Garble is Smolder's brother came quick, efficiently and merciless. Even after missing the first few minutes of the episode, and therefore all that talk about how Smolder's brother is a softie like Spike, this plot twist still blew my mind. Smolder isn't anything like Garble, how can two dragons who are so different be siblings? One of these apples definitely fell far from the tree. And knowing Garble and looking at his
I don't usually do blog posts, aside from the occasional announcement or random thing, but this has been on my mind for a while.
Fun fact, this chapter that I've just posted was surprisingly fun, and my second most recent chapter. It was also a chapter I did at byootfick in the dead of night, cranking out roughly four fifths of the entire chapter in one go (roughly 4000 words). I had NEVER been that motivated. This is ALSO a chapter my editor and best friend highly enjoyed, which surprised me a bit. He certainly likes my work, but this was much higher praising than I was used to, which made me a little suspicious, but
Half a decade now. Five years ago, I made an account here on Fimfiction to indulge in reading horsewords and trying a feeble attempt at writing them.
Now it's become quite the opposite. Here to write and feebly attempt to read.
My, how things have changed. Below the break, find one of the two times of the year where I freely talk about what I accomplish when I'm not being lazy. I've learned and discovered so mush in these years, it's hard to imagine sometimes.
A lot of the Midwest is flat and boring, and anypony would expect the same of Iowa. Turns out Iowa’s got a few surprises to offer.

If you haven't noticed, I just uploaded a new chapter to Elements. That's right, EARLY RELEASE! Why? Well, for a number of reasons, but intend on keeping them all to myself.
What I will tell you is that while this is an early release, the chapter afterwards will be unleashed at the proper time a week and a day or two after.
After that, I intend on unveiling another story for the end of the month, but you won't see an iota of what's up until then.
This time of a fic nobody remembers (at least guessing by the numbers of notifications I get about it, which is none), but, judging from the rating, it was pretty well-received. My fifth story altogether, second one-shot, and the first one that I was satisfied with: The Great Barn Robbery. Or, in Russian, Великое ограбление
As a follow-up to my most recent story, I thought I'd expand a bit on some aspects of the story that folks have been asking about. Join me after the break, won't you?
but for dick
ALLRIGHT!
ok so im officially back from vacation!
feel free to PM me, chat, comment, whatever
i know a few of you requested some art but i dont really remember what, so if u could send me a PM with "art request" as the subject/ title, that'd be great
anyways I what did you guys do for the holidays?[b
It was my birthday this past Wednesday -- woo I'm 23 give me stuff woo -- but I had no ways to come in here and post anything.
There was a guy supposed to come to my house and install a router on Monday, true. But, the dude came in, looked around, said "Hahah wow I have no idea how to deal with this," and immediately left.
So no Internet till today, and no birthday blog. Instead, have a birthday story.
Quick thoughts. I didn't really like the episode. Guess you could say that like cheese quesadilla joke, this episode was executed pourly.
Also Twilight may hate cheese sandwich.
