It was so much fun! We went to Starbucks to talk shit and then I ran into a guy from Jesus camp. Then we talked more shit at my house and it was really chill.

For those of you who missed my post earlier today, Mistletrapped’s sixth chapter went up earlier today.
But Mistletrapped is not all there is to the world of ponies today. There was an episode, which I actually liked! And, of course, new stories to be read.
None of which relate to today’s episode, so maybe that was a bit misleading. Still! I’m sure at least some of them will be good, right?
Today’s stories:

Time Enough For Love will begin tomorrow morning, July 18! Until then, I'll be posting little teasers once per day.
I know it hasn't quite been a year since I published the story yet, but then again Twilight has been working on getting Rarity's attention for some time before that already, hasn't she? Either way, I've already put this post off way too long, so let's do this.
so glad to say that
1. very glad i decided to publish The Dreamweaver, and even more glad that so many people like it.
2. As of two days after it got published, it has over a thousand view, 116 likes, and yesterday it had the heat/hot symbol. i honestly don't use the site enough to know exactly what that is or how you get it but i assume it just means the story is popular? also:
i'm so happy, honestly.
Here’s a list of true events I’ve lived through in the last few weeks—assembled in somewhat chronological order. Keep in mind I wrote this intending it as a comedy, but since it’s an actual abridged chronicle of my life, it reads like a horror story.
I expect nobody will laugh when reading this.
And I find that so unbelievably fucking funny, oh my God.
It's been nothing but good news today! On the IRL front, the Citizenship Ceremony my Wife had to attend (online) was a success! She's officially recognized as a Canadian Citizen now, and I couldn't be happier or prouder of her hard work up to now. On a more personal interest front, I learned that both SMT5 is getting a supersized update/overhaul and is being ported to... EVERYTHING! Which means I can FINALLY play it after the years of it taunting me on the Switch for so long. I also learned
Twelve years ago today, Man of Action brought in a brand new take on our amazing friendly neighborhood web-slinger as he joins SHIELD in training to become the Ultimate Spider-Man while also leading a new generation of superheroes, the New Warriors!
Oh wait, never mind. I just found them.
Anyway, this.
It is. It really, really is.
I mean, you don't really think about it, do you? We spend so long clicking in and out of stuff where we can see that people have thousands, millions of followers and subscribers, and suddenly a million becomes the new benchmark of excellence. Some channels, you won't even look at them if they've got under a thousand subscribers. Because it all just becomes a number.
As I just blabbed to my DeviantArt followers, The Prince’s New Sweater is up to a whopping 5,896 words and 7 ½ hours worth of work. I have only two more chapters to go until it’s done and hope to tie them up tomorrow with your encouragement and help as you cheer me on from the chatroom.
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
It is almost Christmas, and that means that it is time for me to get off my butt and get people stuff to read for the holidays. I have been remiss in getting review sets posted; hopefully the rapidly approaching end of the year will encourage me to get more done.
This is a rather eclectic set of stories in some ways, but in another way, all but one of them manages to capture a lovely little sentiment. I wonder if you can guess which one that is from the titles?
Okay and i might actually write one this time (unlike when I said I'd write about dragon con)
I was thinking about writing a Rarity fic (she and sunset are really the only two characters I can write) about halloween preparations. I think it would be similar to "Suited for Success," where Rarity is under pressure to create clothing for her friends, this time for Halloween. how original, i know
Just dropping a list for those who've wondered what I've been up to in the last couple of weeks:
Last week's shuffle is all done. Enjoy.
This week, as our second ongoing multiparter, we've got one of the most (in)famous tragedies in pony fiction history: "Bittersweet." Prepare to be made unhappy, whether it's the way the story intends or not.
Two days of reviews in a row? When was the last time that happened?

I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.
This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.
