Happy New Year!!!!🎊🎉🍺🍷🥂🍻🥃🍸🍹🍾
Another Thanksgiving, and this is the first time in a few years where I don't have any family in town (mom is in Colorado seeing her new granddaughter).
So today is a Friendsgiving of sorts with my best friend, and a co-worker who should be here shortly and is probably going to demand that I start Baldur's Gate 3 before she leaves after dinner.
A toast to all of you my best friends! May 2023 be a blessed year!
Hello to all of you who may still be around and following my account. Nothing has changed for my drive and my love for my main story 'The Heart of Pleasure'. Although I'm sure my lack of progress this last year speaks for itself.
Seriously not gonna do it
I'm not kidding.
This time, I'm serious.
I have a nasty headache and it's storming outside. Naturally not funny weather.
Well, Gamescom 2023 is underway this week, and aside from Geoff Keighley getting stage-rushed again (seriously man, have those trolls clotheslined and hospitalized or this is all you'll be remembered for), we got some awesome remaster reveals today.
New Year & New MLP Stories from the Authors make.
Hey guys, I'm participating in this year's Jinglemas. Enrollment has started and is ending on the 25th this month. For more details check out: https://www.fimfiction.net/group/213263/jinglemas/thread/481574/
I hope y'all give it look at the very least!
Happy New Year!
With the arrival of the new year comes the arrival of statistics to preserve for posterity.
Totals for year-2023 published stories*:
Non-Mature Stories: 4512
Mature Stories: 1887
Total Stories: 6397
This exceeds last year's 6274 to 6343 total published stories.
Comparatively, in 2023, less Mature stories were published and more Non-Mature stories were published than in 2022.
Normally I'd say something witty here, but I don't think I will this time around.
I guess I'll go ahead and start with the biggest thing on my mind for this year: my dog, Cody, passed away from a heart attack. I still habitually glance at his bed, expecting to find him sleeping quietly whenever I walk past it.
Honestly....I haven't fully processed today yet....I've called my Grandaddies and my Papa. I've texted my sister's main BD earlier. I even called an old friend who was more like a pseudo step-father to me growing up (he didn't answer, yet I suppose he'll call back later). I've given my "uncle" his gift. Yet the one person I haven't contacted yet today....I can't...and I can never do so again....like I said, I haven't fully processed today yet. However for some reason these two Disney songs
So, as you may have noticed with the release of the verbose 11k Chapter 19 of TToTS, I have returned to writing for now. Later today I will be releasing Chapter 20, which will bring me up-to-date with everything I had pre-written so far. (Edit: At least for TToTS; FotV is still outstanding)
Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room, only visible if no one happened to be using it" and "literally on the brim of Admiral Biscuit's hat")
Two, apparently.
I'm assuming a shipping error. But thanks again to everyone that donated last year, and here's to this year!

17 hours, not quite as long as last year, but to my very honest surprise, I met my goal again; a grand total of $1031 this year.
So now I have a Heatonist Hot Sauce box to order and a mock Hot Ones episode to plan.
Thank you everyone for tuning in and donating, wrap up post coming in the morning when I'm not half asleep!
