Zipp and Flight · 11:41am Oct 17th, 2021

I do love a good blackboard shot.

The scene where Zipp stands in front of such a board in the derelict Zephyr Heights station, while confessing her deep frustration at living a ridiculous lie, was a great scene that had me pressing the pause button and taking screen shots. What does this board tell us?

Wish-based Magic · 2:26am Mar 9th, 2022

As I get the second part of the Enforcer Remastered ready to go, starting with chapter 31, I thought I'd discuss wish-based magic™️. Unicorns in western mythology are associated with purity. MLP is at its root a children's show, so there is a limit to what

Why attempts at wedging heliocentrism into Equestria don't actually work · 12:59am May 15th, 2016

There are some stories that have the plot point that Celestia and Luna do not actually have the control over their respective heavenly bodies that everypony believes they do — that they are merely pretending to raise and lower them, while natural causes are really responsible. Sometimes this is done in an attempt to make Equestria more realistic and believable, with the nasty character implications of such prolonged and enormous deception merely coming along for the ride. Sometimes it's the

Research Assistance · 7:44pm Oct 5th, 2019

If Imposing Sovereigns II isn't in your court, you may be interested in an alternate proposal. Pineta isn't so much commissioning stories about particle physics topics as he's offering a bounty on them, at 25 pounds per offered kiloword. (Over US$30!) Details here for those interested.

The Golden Oaks Bookstore: How many books should I stock, Y'all? · 5:26pm Jun 11th, 2019

Bronycon draws ever closers, and I've been working hard to prepare 2 of the anthologies that were the highest voted from the last pole I did. In case I never confirmed the results, the winning anthologies were:

- The Life and Times of Nyx (Past Sins Sequel Anthology)
- Face The Dark (The Dark Story Anthology)

Physics of Las Pegasus · 6:55pm Sep 18th, 2016

There are three types of story you can get from a physicist about Las Vegas. The first, although not strictly speaking of the city itself, is that of the Nevada Test Site—the arena where, in the 1950s, the nuclear era came of age, and theories of thermonuclear fission and fusion were put to the experimental test. [Question to ponder: what type of cloud is Las Pegasus built on?]

Extract of "A Beginner's Guide to the Melodic Method" by Ley Lines · 4:27am Oct 2nd, 2017

I created this fictional textbook extract after getting a writing challenge from Pureheart 352, and I rather like the result. While it doesn't really count as a story, I figured it would make a good first blog post.

School, Physics, Math, Feminism and Friendship Games · 4:06pm Nov 8th, 2015

This week I received my Friendship Games DVD, which, thanks to the tantalizing post-credits ending of Rainbow Rocks, I watched with considerable anticipation. Of course this film was going to destroy my personal theories about the new Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow Arc Welders and Radioactivity · 9:37pm Jul 14th, 2019

They may live in a small town in a remote part of rural Equestria, yet the ponies of Hope Hollow are an innovative lot. We saw in Rainbow Roadtrip that while ‘hopeless magic’ made them see themselves as an impoverished colourless backwater, they could actually play a full part in Equestrian culture with their well-stocked library, high-tech cottage industries, and rainbow festivals.

To Touch the Sun · 10:17pm Aug 14th, 2019

Georg’s latest story: The Golden Alicorn of the Sun is a brilliant surreal scific adventure describing a voyage to touch down on the sun itself. It was inspired by the equally crazy 1953 short story by Ray Bradbury.

EThe Golden Alicorn of the Sun
Celestia sacrificed everything for Equestria. Now it is their turn to save her. If they can.

Sunny Starscout rolled down a slope, with wheels on all four of her hooves. The conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy caused her to accelerate towards her four friends. She leant to one side to bend her trajectory to circle around them.

SUCCESS!!! · 6:15am Dec 7th, 2022

After a decade of writing the story, constructing the manuscript, creating images for each of the six parts, tonnes of formatting, far too much trial and error, and spending 5 hours straight creating a front cover dust jacket at the end, it's finally done!
