Not terribly shabby, for six hours work. I haven't touched a video editor in five years.

Eleven years ago at the time I begin to type this post, the series finale of Sonic X premiered and put another anime to closing. As I sit here and type these words I have only just completed watching the final four episodes, and as a result of unable to make it past the first part of the final episode my tears stream down my face and hit my keyboard.

So as far as the poll goes for story arcs I'm closing it now. The story arcs will go as follows:

1. Thestral
2. Deer
3. Griffon
4. Minotaur
5. Zebra
6. Hippogriff
7. Diamond Dog
8. Yak
9. Buffalo

Changelings will be integrated at a certain point. There will also be an arc of the Pony of Shadows and one of Discord. Truthfully Discord will have multiple but that's pretty much obvious.

I'll add a title list for the arcs later.

Ok, despite small town tweakers, full time job, the sporadic inspiration and simply trying to find willpower through it all, I got a decent chapter done though Celly knows it's missing it's full potential. I'll swing it by my editors and proofreaders them post it...

Here goes nothing, folks...

There was a bit of a panic attack of sorts when a story came up that Channing Tatum might be leaving the upcoming Gambit film.

It turns out, those fears were groundless, and Channing Tatum is locked for Gambit. So no fears there.

I get into odd conversations with my friend Scott over stories in videogames and cartoons. We started bouncing ideas around that famous trope in shonen manga (and by extension, anime too), the FIGHTING TOURNAMENT ARC. Why is it used so much? Why does it keep falling flat? (Why do we collectively groan when we see it coming? )

Bouncing ideas back and forth, I figured out my own little theory. The authors use it as a delaying tactic!

Yeah I got me some hobbies.

I did my first X-Wing Miniatures repaint recently. For those who don't play (probably most of you) mine is the black and yellow one on the left, not the blue and gray one on the right; that's how they look coming out of the box.

Do I write too much much Celestia x human?

Or can there be never enough Celestia x human fan fiction? Can the sun never be praised enough?

I've ran a test fort for about 6 years, and it hadn't crashed. The new reactions seem to be in working order, so I'll probably release it soon.

This took so long because I had to get rid of an old shame: I've never completed X-Com: UFO Defense before. The 1994 game, that is. I've played it as a kid, and later, but have never gotten around to actually flying to Mars. But now I have, with the help of the Final OpenX-Com mod collection!

Okay. Let’s talk why I ain’t been doing anything lately. The truth is I have been busy getting two books published! Something I’ve been working on for about 40 years (yes I’m old… Sue me). Now one of my lifelong dreams has come true. I am a published writer! Actually I had 2 books published. They have nothing with this site so if you want more info, please PM me.

Now for something completely different…

Unless I have new inspiration, chapter 5 is the last chapter for my fanfic, though definitely it's not the last story. That particular fanfic might be done, but not the story itself.

In any event, stories do take a life of their own. Especially the last part, when IMO ( at least for me) it took a turn for a little bit darker tone, if not very much darker. As I've said, I initially didn't intend it to turn out that way.

The Playstation is 100 dollars more, and wow Microsoft's kicking their ass on two fronts. https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/1303680112156524544?s=09

Oh, can't wait to see how Sony fires back at this, cause I dunno... I can see which looks more tempting.

For the past year, I've had a story simmering on the back burner to celebrate that anniversary.

Safe to say I've got all the inspiration in the world.

So I've been thinking and I'm gonna try a new challenge for myself where I pick a theme and pick 10 ships I think fits that theme and do what I can to write them (with a Bonus 11 one that is super indulgent) and once there all done pick a new theme and start all over again. Since this is the first one of hopefully many I went with Slice of life Romance (with a dash of Drama) and most of these ships are my favorite and comfort ones. have not decided if any will be nsfw yet or not and some of

Whatever, bring it on.

I just feel very, very sorry for all the naive netizens who will be googling 'Sonic X Shadow' for the rest of the year.
