Celestia is the mother to Equestria, which makes how terrible she is at it incredibly ironic.

She cares for everypony, on a surprisingly personal level. But, there's still this... disconnect. She cares for ponies, but she can't readily relate to them or understand them. In the past, many simple attributed this to her role as Princess, declaring her to be above the common pony. In truth, she has always been like this.

Equestria is not a normal land. Even for a world that thrives on magic, there are a disproportionate number of artifacts and creations that could be classified as ‘paranormal.’ To keep these from falling into the wrong hooves, Princess Celestia commissioned the Watchmen, a group of secret agents dedicated to the appropriation and defense of and from unusual artifacts. Rarity is one such agent.
Her current mission: Tracking down rouge Watchman Twilight Sparkle.

So, the last episode was interesting.
Under the first hoof, I like time travel stories, and said time travel was far from the worst shown on television. That honor belongs to the Flash, for being illogical and worse; inconsistent. I like that there is no Dues Ex Machina this time, and the alternate futures were creative.

I am not doing requests right now. So, please don't request anything at the moment. Also, if you're gonna request me to write something, please make sure it's on a subject that all of my other stories are on. And make sure they're about pony....I like to write about pony.

Listening to Ep20 of Scribbler’s Them’s Writing Words and they talk about Big Mac ships… and then about Daybreaker x Big Mac, and a fic about them (nothing further than that).

I checked with a search — my fic(s)’s still the only one for that ship. That’s a win, it seems.

And yeah, that’s it. It took me quite a bit by surprise. That’s the post.

See, I'm not actually okay, at all. I'll be okay when I'm not lying awake at night struggling to breathe as invisible hands grab at me and a hundred voices scream in my ear. Calling me names. Mocking me. Singing songs at top volume.

Except then I still won't be okay. During the day I'll be trying not to cry as I fade in and out of consciousness and have memory blackouts spanning hours. Not knowing what I've done or who I've hurt.

It came to me that I have a lot of stories I put in my read it later list. So I decided to look and see just how many words are there all together.

150 million words.

The estimated time to read it if I read literally nonstop?

60 weeks.

Help.

Hey folks! As you can tell, there was no new "Passing Familiarity" chapter today, despite my best intentions. There might be one tomorrow (Sunday) evening, though, if I can write fast enough, but this week got a bit away from me. If it doesn't come out Sunday, though, I'll have something for ya next weekend. Promise.

A year ago I published my first foray into the Optimalverse, and it seems to have done quite well for itself so far.

Yes, the irony with that name, I know.

Still, top ten. Not bad, not bad at all.

Sadly don't have much to add about it. There was no 'aha!' moment, just a neat idea that turned out well.

Twilight stared at him in bemusement. "That's absolutely ridiculous. Everypony knows that zombies are created by voodoo witch doctors channeling fell spirits into the corpses of the recently deceased via mystic song and dance."

Rainbow Dash should have known this. The whole plot to 28 Pranks Later falls apart when you consider this fact.

A million words knocked off my Read For Later list in a month. It's actually more than that, since I keep adding more and more every time I see something to read

A couple of One-Shots I have planned and partially worked on:

What if, upon hearing about the events of Lesson Zero, Trixie decided for a more subtle revenge upon Twilight Sparkle and her friends?

Shining Armor was about done cleaning his room when there was a knock on the door.

Twilight was on the other side.

She had tears in her eyes.

"Twily!" he said in shock. "What happened?!"

"It's school!"

Shining Armor was immediately in panic-mode. His sister just recently enrolled and it was her first day. Anything could have happened!

"Oh no, did you hurt yourself? Was it bullies? Tell me!"

"No... I..."

Shining leaned forward.

"I..."

Hi everyone, I'm making an update post regarding my first fanfiction ever, The Equestira Chronicles: Prelude, originally known as 'A Little Trust Goes A Long Way', this story holds a special place in my heart for how terrible it is. It has had two reviews, both of which are negative, don't be upset on my behalf. I asked for both these reviewers to look at my work at different points in time. (The first review when it initially came out and the second when I wanted to submit the Equestria

"28 Pranks Later" was a particularly worrisome synopsis. It promised to repeat the worst crimes of "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" and continue to have Rainbow Dash re-learn already-known lessons. Thankfully, the episode itself is surprisingly good-natured and entertaining, even though it still feels like a repetition of earlier character development. It's just too bad that this is the show at its most thuddingly predictable and simplistic, repeating all of the previous episode's mistake with

So, I've got a story being drafted.

No, not the Equestrian Girls one-- something different.

What is it, you ask?

Technically (and note that I say "Technically"), it's a simple little one-shot of Fluttershy going for a walk in the Everfree Forest, during a rainstorm. Not a lot, but it's something I decided to do.
