Hey pones, hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! Time for a new month, and more pone.
As before, we're seeing lots of the same stories here. It takes time to complete narratives as long and complex as these, paticularly a story with as many viewpoints and goals as ambitious as Forbidden Places. So there shouldn't be any surprises to my readers here.
This is exactly the 71st month I've posted a patreon calendar. Almost but not quite six years of writing fanfic, sharing all these ideas with you that would otherwise stay trapped in my head. I couldn't begin this post, and the beginning of a new year without expressing my profound thanks to everyone who keeps supporting me. Your help, big or small, is the only reason I'm still able to write fanfiction. Thank you, truly.
Hello pones! Time for a spooky month!
Perhaps approrpiately for a month of death and change, this month will see the end of many things, opening the way for some new ones.
Two long running stories are coming to a close this month, so I'll start there.
So, first of all, I wanted to make it known that I do release (unedited and unrevised) chapters early on my patreon, specifically of Beyond Me and The Human Incident, so if you want to read early, you can do that for just five dollars. If you're interested in that, you can subscribe here. If not, I understand. The schedule of release for those stories is below.
As you can see, this calendar is looking a bit empty, which means I need a couple of one shots to fill the writing void that will be created with Applejack Is An Interdimensional Alien's cancellation and The Ruler Of Ponies And Men's end. If you wanna commission me, feel free to send your ideas in PMs. Prices are 40 dollars for the base story and then 20 dollars for each 1k words thereafter. Right now, I'm only looking for short fics. Hopefully though, I have something longer to deliver for
What this guy said: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/767534/meetup-this-friday-in-redwood-city-ca. I'm posting this here on the chance that you're more likely to join if you see it twice.
Bad Horse, GaPJaxie, horizon, and I will be getting together at a Denny's in Redwood City (near San Francisco) at 7PM PT this Friday October 20th. If you like ponies, you're welcome to join us! Awkwardness is expected.
The deadline for applying to Clarion is March 1, 2018, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
I checked, and that's the end of the day (Pacific time) on March 1.
Apply to Clarion 2018
The deadline for applying to Clarion West is Feb 28, 2018, at 11:59 pm, probably Pacific Time.
That's before March 1.
This state of the scribe will be separated into two parts--the usual updates on the calendar for the upcoming month, then a few thoughts from me about my work here on Fimfiction in general. But we're getting hit with so many new stories this month that I thought it would be better to put my more general thoughts into its own entry. Expect that tomorrow.
Hey pones!
I'll try to keep things short this month, since I've been running long in the last few. Forbidden Places is in its final act, Sisters of Willowbrook is still only just begun, so both of those are trundling on. As far as monthly stories, Return to Sender is nearing its conclusion... after literal years of monthly updates. I guess you can write a whole novel 2000 words at a time. It just takes... forever.

GaPJaxie, equestrian_sen, horizon, and I hope to meet up this Friday, at 7PM Pacific time (maybe a little earlier to get a table), at the Denny's in Redwood City, CA. That's near San Francisco.
horizon doesn't know for sure yet if he's coming.
Any other bronies who can make it are welcome. Reply in the comments if you plan to come.
I'll have unpredictable Internet access. You may want to check GaPJaxie's or equestrian_sen's blog before going to see if it's still on.
Hey everypony, hope you all had a fantastic January. I know it was a blast for me--got a few new stories out there, worked on some really awesome stuff.
Sorry about how weird this one looks. I don't have my computer right now, so I'm kinda writing this update on my phone. I should be back to having a computer by Saturday hopefully, but in the meantime, I'll keep this brief.
