Fuck yeah. · 8:57pm Jan 19th, 2017

I just caught MY FIRST SHINY IN GENERATION 7.

My first fishing encounter in Vast Poni Canyon netted me a shiny Barboach. On my second Ultra Ball I caught it.

Male, level 34.

I couldn't be happier right now.

What was your first Gen7 Shiny?

Being a Better Writer: Giving Characters a Leitmotif · 10:10pm Jul 26th, 2016

Okay, first of all, I need to apologize for this post coming so late in the day. I know that yesterday I said I would have it up this morning, but as some of you likely noticed ... that didn't happen. What did happen was that last night, as I sat down to put together what would have been this morning's post, it ... Well, it wouldn't go together. I was nursing a headache, tired, and after a frustrating time spent slapping together a less-than-subpar BaBW post, I canned the

Why don't I like character development/growth? · 5:23pm Mar 28th, 2019

It's very simple, and it's the very same reason I write fics in the first place... because the characters did something or acted in a way that I do not approve of and refuse to tolerate, plus, as they CHANGE, they lose more and more insight of who they used to be, and often turn into MORONS like Twilight Sparkle.

A FRIEND IN DEED...

She knows that Cranky Doodle is the exception to making friends (at the time) and encourages Pinkie not to bother him anymore

Being a Better Writer: You Can’t Make Up Rules When the Reader Knows What They Are · 8:01pm Jun 3rd, 2019

Welcome back readers! It’s JUNE!

Right, I know. Hunter/Hunted isn’t out yet. But I’d plan on it this month. Editing is … well, it’s a process. Both it and Jungle are inching closer toward release … But that’s all that needs to be said there. Right now?

Behind the Scenes on "New Horizons" - Vol 1 · 7:26am Dec 8th, 2019

So I'm trying something a little different with this post. As I write and develop my stories I have a tendency to write up a fair amount of documentation on the development process as a whole, the vast majority of which never gets seen. So I figured that sharing little snippets of that documentation every once in a while would be a productive way of getting it out there.

For volume 1 I'll be focusing on the larger theme behind New Horizons that has definitely gone over people's heads.

Jobless for the new year · 5:54am Dec 16th, 2017

Hello there everyone,

You might not know this, but I've been quite busy with my job as a web developer for more than a year.
I've come around reading FiM stories on my way to work during the morning, and night (on train, and public transports).

However, starting next year, that will all change.
If you have read the title, then my guess is, that you already know the reason as to why I am saying this.

Uprooted · 6:45pm Dec 24th, 2021

Not really an announcement, but more of a fan'by moment that I would like to share.

Thorax in Uprooted is portrayed as rather... respectable. I mean, we all respect him - even (most of) the characters in the show with whom he has interacted - but he's usually portrayed as spineless, and a li'l' goofy.

Being a Better Writer: Building Governments and Ruling Powers for Fiction · 11:18pm May 8th, 2023

Once more we gather writers, for another installment of Being a Better Writer! And today’s topic is an interesting one, once again written in advance as I am out and off of the grid for the time being. Today’s post grew out of another potential topic, but felt better suited to the aim of Being a Better Writer as a whole, IE that of improving the writing capabilities of those who follow Being a Better Writer.

Writing can be exhausting · 3:51pm Apr 3rd, 2022

I've mainly noticed this after writing particularly emotional scenes, like a flashback I just wrote for chapter 15. ((I wrote 3 or 4 chapters ahead, and edit the next one to be posted as I go)) It can be emotionally draining to write some scenes, especially thoughts involving traumas that the characters experienced. It can be kinda rough! I can't even imagine how hard it'd be to write a story like Murky Number Seven or Pink Eyes, with how dark those stories can get at times. It's honestly super

Happy Yule! · 8:40am Dec 31st, 2021

Chapter 8 took longer than I'd hoped, but I'm quite happy with how it all turned out. I think I'm going to be slowing my upload time to a more sustainable pace? Plus it gives me time to go back and make edits to the chapters that are already up, which has been really fun to do so far!

I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on the fic, or just talk about FoE stuff in general honestly. Happy holidays!

Help! My Heart is Full of Pony! - Growth · 2:24pm Aug 28th, 2019

Yesterday, I posted an essay about Summer Sun Setback, the princesses, and the fact that the end of the show is neigh. There are, however, a few more thoughts on the episode that I wanted to share that don't quite fit into that box.

The theme of Summer Sun Setback was growth - moving on, and the story reinforces that theme in a lot of little ways in 22 minutes.
