Critique, in my mind, is an assessment, an evaluation. It identifies the ideas the writer was attempting to get across, the sensations, the feelings, and judges how well those were communicated. It identifies the good versus the bad and pits these against each other, highlighting by contrast where the writer should focus their efforts to produce future, stronger works. At least, this is what I imagine critique to be.

After some time browsing, I think I'm in the minority.

Hey, folks. Forgive me for grousing a bit, but thanks to some financially costly personal matters crossed with recently received negative feedback on Feathered Hearts, my ire is up while my tolerance for taking crap is low. There are some things I really need to get off my chest right now, so getting right to the point:

It seems like every couple months or chapters...

Woohoo, my 10th review... I have two more stories for you guys, and they are:

Hey folks! First, a general update: I did indeed have my eye surgery last Friday, and like Fell Flight, though my vision was temporarily worsened and the double-vision not entirely corrected afterwards, it's been getting steadily better as time passes and the swelling goes down. A week on, I'm pleased to report my double-vision was almost entirely eliminated and what's left of it is close enough that my mind and/or eye muscles can compensate. In short, I have binocular vision again without

Hey everypony! So, I just got my eye exam today, and you know how they have those boxes with stikers at the end? Well, guess what two stickers were laying on top.

I seriously could not believe it They never have MLP stickers. I got the Pinkie Pie one. Because childishness

story might be a little delayed

or not, maybe I'll feel better if I write

my dog passed away a few hours ago and I'm posting to most accounts I have on the internet to make me feel better

it's not helping much but I didn't really think it would but I got like 3 things going on so I might keep writing just to take my mind off of things

With luck, the posting of a few new stories will give me some much-needed traffic, and maybe some of that traffic would like to preread for Lock & Key? anyways, I’m looking for one or three people who wouldn’t mind prereading chapters of Lock & Key so I can catch any weird errors or dimensional continuity failures before they destabilize and alter Earth’s geavity constant. Maybe.

I'm close to finished. I intend to have it draft complete tonight, meaning release should follow in the next couple days, once prereaders have their say and I do my customary couple editing passes, which I do by listening to it recited back to me with the site's voice narration feature. You'd be surprised how many issues you catch and fix by doing that, from missing and misspelled words to just questions of word choice and sentence flow.

It's finally out. Thank. F*ck.

So I woke up this morning, started poking around the intarwebs, at which point I learned IDW is doing a straight-up Transformers/MLP crossover. Neat!

Hey everypony!

I just released a new chapter and three epilogue chapters for my story Through the Eyes of Anon-a-Miss. After a full year, the story is now officially complete!

If you haven't seen the new (and last) chapters yet, or those of you who rather wait until this story is completed, you may check it out right now!

Hello readers.

Have a bit of an... experiment.

Read the story. Then leave a comment.

Your comments will change the story. Rest assured. Just try it, see what happens.

And for readers of Firefly, your presents are as follows:

1. The next Firefly chapter, tentatively titled Rock of Equestria, should be draft complete this weekend and be off to prereaders. Afterwards, I need to create the promised graphics before I release it. Total length will probably be around 9000 words or so as we start into the battles around Maresk and the struggles of the Equestrian Army to escape envelopment and bloody the gryphons a bit five days into the war.

Well, in terms of travel, they're nonexistent since my parents told me to stay away. No Christmas with family this year, though I know I'm hardly alone in that. But as for writing...

Well, I've decided a couple things. I think, after nearly four months of doing it continuously, I've burned out on clop. That's bad news for the Unleash the Magic series, but good news for Firefly. And possibly one other story.
