Behind the Scenes: Donation Drive · 3:56pm May 19th, 2020

Hello everyone who stumbles on this page, and/or gets notified of this! I'm still new to the whole "tag a story with a blog" thing so I'm not sure who'll see this. Anyway, thought I'd share some interesting facts about the story that I didn't want to leave in an A/N or comment, since those seem so tacky.

Real Places Inspiring Forest of "Will to Survive" · 3:08pm Jul 18th, 2016

Now that I've finished "Will to Survive," I'm planning on writing several shorter fanfics in the coming weeks. Before I move on, I thought I'd give a sort of "Behind the Scenes" of "Will to Survive" for anyone interested. When I was considering the forest of Underworld, I performed some research to craft the jungle. Many of the seemingly fictional plants, beaches, and bodies of water used in the story are actually inspired by real places. Unfortunately, I'm having difficulty using the "Insert

About "The Invisible Alicorn" · 3:07am Apr 13th, 2017

Over the years I’ve gotten occasional comments to my stories on this site regarding my use of mind control as a plot device (especially that one chapter in Best of All Possible Worlds where Celestia admits her fault in practicing it on not only her ponies, but on herself).

Follow up to first ever fic post · 2:52am Sep 28th, 2015

Heya, Eclypsed here. I have no clue how these things work so I might as well just keep going xD

So about twenty four hours ago I was chilling with a friend, we sorted all the clop fics by rating and went to the last page, browsing through the comments and having blast seeing some of this stuff. I remember my favorite piece of advice for a new writer was "You should go out and just watch people, so you can see how normal people act." xD

Behind the Scenes of Writing Legacy of the Greatest · 7:54am Jun 30th, 2016

As I've said in a previous story of mine where I detailed a lot of behind-the-scenes development, below is basically me rambling on about things that didn’t make it in the story, things that got changed, and so on. I always think Word of God interviews and the like are cool, but similarly dislike it when authors dripfeed stuff (see: J.K. Rowling and her releasing new tidbits nearly a decade after the Harry Potter series is done). Feel free to ask anything as well in the comments, and I’ll try

The Writing of The Bonds of Love Progress Update 7 · 2:22am Apr 21st, 2022

Hello, everyone, and yep! I am here to deliver another progress update on the “Writing of…” for T.B.O.L.

Let’s just cut to the chase: I finally finished discussing both Ch.12-13(Serenity)! I guess I jinxed myself when I theorized it’d take me less time to discuss them because…? Yeah. Been a while since that last update, huh?

Another non-Sombra story in the works - inspired by a Thorax and Spike story · 6:39pm Dec 16th, 2017

-Having all the stars align to get my writing jump-started again is a blessing - but not necessarily to the backlog of all the King Sombra stories I want to write. While I am working more on those than I have in the last three months, there is another.

The Writing of The Bonds of Love Progress Update 8 · 5:39pm Jul 16th, 2022

Hello again, everyone, I’m back once more to provide yet another update concerning my progress on "The Writing of The Bonds of Love."

Unfortunately, this update consists of mostly bad news.

As mentioned in my previous update, I initially intended to finish discussing the last three chapters of T.B.O.L. and then post a final update, confirming both the “Writing of…” was nearing completion and possibly even a release date for it.

This is not that final update.

Talk About It: New Releases · 2:53pm Jan 13th, 2022

Hey Folks!

Throughout the entirety of January, I've realeased three separate works. Two of which being actual one-shots and one of which being a small chapter as apart of SC. I have had this little regime of talking about the behind the scenes of my stories for a very short period of time now, but I've done it for a few, so I figured why not have a collections of stories that I don't think would be enough for an entire post on its own.
