Long Desc.
The Grid.
A digital frontier.
Princess Celestia created a simulation that was as real as it gets.
And then it was taken.
Now, if you already have, please disregard this blogpost, because you've already proven that you're awesome.
If you haven't, on the other hand, you should know by now that I've written a story called A Hiss in the Dark, and just finished a new chapter for it! I've really put a lot of time and effort into it, and I'm pretty sure that... Okay, somewhat sure you'll... maybe... kind of... like it...

In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just won't stop it
Fightin' at the drop of the faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
She's saying, she's praying.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang
So I know it's been a while since I released anything story-wise, but as I promised last week here is a brand new story featuring a couple that I've not yet written about in the clop genre. You may also find that it's a sequel, although reading the other two stories is not absolutely necessary to enjoy this new one.
Story link below the break, plus new couple reveal!
So by now Episode 10 of Season 7, "A Royal Problem" has aired in Canada, though not in the US. At the time of writing this, it's not long after it aired in the land of pine and poutine, and rather than getting spoiled, I've kept up on those releases.
Pardon my dust.
Yes, that’s right, I’m back, though I never really left so much as vaguely sauntered just offscreen. I haven’t really been reading a whole lot of stuff, or writing a whole lot of stuff, or really even doing a whole lot of stuff for the last month. I just kind of… vanished. Played a bit of Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard’s new MOBA game… but frankly, that’s not where I’ve been.
I’ve just been gone.
So this was written up and submitted, completely unedited, as a response to some released info about EQG3, and particularly the new characters that will be in it.
I'm feeling a bit down and wanted to end the evening on a positive note, so I thought why not make a list of everything I've been doing lately, see how much I've got done. then I thought, why not blog the list? so here we are.
First of all, let me say, thanks for being patient. The new story is called Broken Bindings, and it is now live. It is tagged as a dark horror mystery story, rated teen.
Ey up! A little while ago I wrote a pony-related thing! I thought it was a fluke but guess what?
A busy day today for people I follow – four new stories in my feed, from three different authors, including the long-absent Darf, who is oft spoken of in hushed tones, for fear that he might return if you said his name in front of a mirror three times.
Seems someone finally did. And so, I thought, what better way to welcome him back from two years of absence than to review two of his new stories?
I’m so sorry.
Hey guys! How ya doing?
For those of you that care, updates on TIOCHS are going to be slowing down... a tad. So far, I've kept my original promise of two updates per week (even more if you count the intermissions, but I don't). Unfortunately, school slammed into me like a sack of bricks, and despite my best efforts, my backlog of chapters has run rather dry, and, to be honest, I have some more important things in my life than my shot-in-the-dark fanfiction.
This was actually supposed to be Read It Later Reviews #50, but I just posted a Read It Now set yesterday and then Bad Horse came out with a story a day later. As this set had an empty space it in, Read It Later #49 got bumped down the line. So this set actually contains four older stories, plus Bad Horse’s new one.
I’m cheating a bit. Deal with it.

There are times when you realize you’re just wasting your time doing things that don’t matter, not only to anyone else, but also to yourself.
That you can be doing so much more.
I have these realizations constantly. And yet, so often, they are Ignored Epiphanies, and I go on, doing the same thing, even though not even I like it.
Playing a game I don’t enjoy to completion.
Arguing with people on Reddit.
Instead of working on A Thousand Roses yesterday, I ended up reading a number of additional stories off of my high priority Read It Sooner list, as well as re-reading a couple of older stories that I read before I started doing reviews.
I really need to get to work on finishing up my story… but I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the experience of reading many of these works.
