A lot of things have happened since this year began.

A lot of it has just been the same general nonsense that everyone else has been handling. A lot of it's been nonsense particular to me. I've spent much of 2020 rambling about said nonsense to people close to me, often (though not always) whilst drunk, and while I don't want to go into much detail about all of it... it's enough to say that I've had a bit more time on my hands than I'm used to since wrapping up 2019.

So, in typical fashion, I'm late with this. I've been dealing with some family events and preparation leading up to my birthday on January 15th. Also, I've now fallen down the DnD podcast rabbit hole once again and got really into Ken Ashcorp, particularly the song he made for Nyanners. And I've been catching up with an old friend, getting really into witchy business (starting slow, nothing too wild, but I have a pendulum now, she is a black obsidian and her name is Void). Anyway, got another

• Second chapter of Distance is up! It will update again next week. (I know it's a little earlier than 7 but it's better to have it up now.)
• Another chapter of Sunset's horse poetry story is up. It will resume updates in March.

God I hope so. ;_;

But in all seriousness, it's 2021! Time to ring this thing off with a bang and return Spikefic to operation a week earlier than originally planned. This also kicks off a slight change in presentation and format for the foreseeable future.

Hey there, everyone. Sorry to bother you again, but I'm trying to think of a second song for Odium. One that's very deep and emotional and shows his regret and guilt for his own actions and injustices, and his dream of making thinks right, both for his actions and the actions of others, unlike his first song where he wants to put the Mane Six and friends in their place (Side-note: I still haven't figured out how to write great lyrics for that song either). However, I'm having trouble with the

Titles are one of the most important parts of any work, in any medium. Titles are the first impression your story gives. When someone recommends a new book or movie to a friend, the title is the only universal part. The title requires conciseness, but must also hint at a lot of ideas and information.

Good morrow, fillies and gentlecolts!
Callum here!

I'm going to make this a quick blog, so here goes.
My partner and I have been working our socks off towards a Spouse Visa so we can live together in the UK; this has taken up the majority of my time, so The Titans' Orb has been on the backburner.
We're still sorting out the visa process, which requires jumping through many hoops, and spending a little over £4,000!
Ouch.

...How goes the writing?

Actually it's going alri- how the fuck did you get in my house?!

I asked you first.

Fine, fine. It's actually going pretty well. I won't specify what I'm working on because I am a coy little bitch, but I do have a favor to ask of you.

Oh?

Gosh, it's been an interesting two weeks.

In terms of good news, I got a chapter of Hourglass posted, cementing myself into a monthly update schedule! I don't think I've ever been this proud to be this pathetic. Hopefully when the story picks up, so will my schedule. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

I don't keep track of the IDW comics much, but I do occasionally read their plot summaries on the wiki. I perked up a little when I saw that the first four "Season 10" issues would be about the zebra homelands. Why did this draw my attention? Because I wrote about it over four years earlier:

Throwing out a blogpost because the thought came to mind but

I really feel like Crimson would be a really solid original fiction, so I’m starting to really considerrrrrr making it original fiction, but that would mean having to take it off Fimfic, and I don’t know what to do.

I’ll probably finish it here while simultaneously converting it to original fiction and then once that’s done take it off here?

I was gonna start this one out by telling you about my bad neighbor–you remember, the one who crashed a car across my driveway and left it there?

Then I remembered that I never blogged about that, so you’d have no idea what I’m talking about.

That’s okay, who doesn’t love a bit of backstory?

The description and title are some of the most important parts of a story. They provide readers with their first impression, convince them to read it, and characterize your story even after it is finished.

Today, we look at a set of stories, based solely on their descriptions, titles, and other relevant paratext.
