Just faking it pretty well due to an ongoing combination of RL factors. And watching my notifications climb (there's 871 unread items in my feed). It's long past time to call a notification amnesty, so I'm gonna do it before it hits four digits. (Amnesty means I won't be making any effort to hit the backlog, so if there's anything you've posted in the last … um, two months … that you think I'd find cool, please tell me in comments.)

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?

*internal thoughts during The Perfect Pear*

"If Granny Smith seemed pretty reasonable towards Bright Macintosh, then wouldn't she be able to set the Apple-Pear rivalry aside for him?"

"Why doesn't Granny Smith trust other families, anyway?"

And this where the fifth of my six installments will be. I will continue to go through Bride of Discord, and yet again, blog about the three chapters that I stare at, puzzled to what exactly is unfolding on my computer screen.

That means that there's going to be another block of text and me being bitter.

So I don’t typically do episode follow-ups (as in, I never have and don’t really plan on doing them again), but this episode is relative to an important topic to me, and after throwing my thoughts into Discord, a friend suggested I make a blog post about it. Then Looking around a bit, I was surprised that there weren’t more people discussing the episode from this POV. So here we go, talking about how The Maud Couple relates to the portrayal of autism in mainstream media!

Of course, my wince didn’t go unnoticed by the mistress of the night.

Celestia smiled at the little gesture. “You’re right. Like the weasel you are, you’ve worked your way into my heart.”

Don’t scream don’t scream don’t scream don’t scream don’t scream don’t scre

“But… is it… love?”

She drew in a sharp breath. “Yes.”

That same finger now quickly tapped as if he were trying to listen for something within. “There’s love for me in there?”

Y’all may remember from yesterday (technically, really early this morning) I lost my shovel, found my shovel, broke my shovel, bought a new shovel, and then broke that shovel, too.

Naturally, our tale does not end there.

Nor, fortunately, does the collection of shovel-themed pony pics.

Hey folks,

First I want to say thanks again for enjoying A Whole New Responsibility, the love you've all given it really has made the entire process worthwhile, and I wouldn't trade it for the world, however... I've read a lot of comments and several PMs in regards to the last chapter, and a fair amount of them are talking about a sequel, well I think I should tell you right here and right now.

It's not happening.

So I haven't written any stories for some time now due to fading interest in writing, and because of those damn dirty clopfics getting more attention than other stories, but I've been thinking of maybe having another go at writing again, maybe this time doing some stories for Unique since it had been something I really wanted to do for a long time before. I wanted to write a decent story for my character but despite having ideas I was never able to figure out how to write them out.

Only one more year until I officially hit Over The Hill, and it's no longer socially acceptable to celebrate birthdays as an affirmation of my advancement rather than a marker of my slow decline. So: Hurrah! I'm not old yet! [1] I've got another full year to make an original fiction sale before I stop being A Potential Up-And-Coming Author and start being That Old Guy Who's Still Trying To Break Into The Market! OH GODS PANIC

This is gonna be a long one and a special one (with good news at the bottom!)

As many of you have probably noticed, I am not straight. And I've increasingly, especially really recently, been a lot more open and honest about that online, that is. However that was not always the case, and it's taken me awhile to get to a place where I can even briefly mention it here, where I know my parents won't find out, without being downright terrified. IRL is a different story.

Hello followers and random viewers!

Why do I even have followers? Are my stories even that good?

In the final week of 2017, I was privileged to watch 2 sci-fi films a day apart. The first was Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the other was Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets. Both were films I wanted to see. Both were giant sci-fi spectacles with aliens, robots, and crazy space adventures. Right up my alley.

You'll see this. You told me yourself that you're spying on me.

This is your second one now.

Stop sending me PM's. You blocked me, yet you're pestering me through the PM system so I can't respond to your threats. Abusing the system to jab at me without fear of retaliation. Only one of us is walking that "make enough wrongs" line right now, and I don't think it's the one of us you think it is.
