They don’t know, if they could see how much I love you
How much better the world’ be if you were here
I am true, I’m serious about my love, mare
It’s real, mare, don’t forget that, mareAnd I can, just by your writing I can tell that
That your soul is so stunningly beautiful
So Crystal Wishes did something wonderful yesterday, and I'd like to join in by thanking three specific people that I've gotten to know over the course of the past few months. All three have helped create and lead communities that I am proud to be part of, and I would like to acknowledge their efforts as leaders as well as to thank them for being the wonderful people
This post has been delayed by depression, but it's important. I need to weigh in on the controversy MrNumbers gestated.
Fun in fantasy; horrifying in reality.
First, the history.
I think a lot of folks have been waiting for a print of this story (and indeed, this is not its only print -- but more on that later). It's certainly been on my shortlist since I first started Ponyfeather Publishing, and I'm very glad to have finally gotten the opportunity to give it the treatment it deserves.
So there was a competition called "Rarity is Trash" and it gave you five thousand words to refute the statement. Obviously I took umbrage to that, so I swore a lot and mashed a keyboard for three weeks to quadruple that word limit and write "The Price of Happily Ever After".
It's not getting many comments, but the reception seems to be pretty positive, so I guess I'll talk about some important themes writing it. Spoilers, obviously, after this line.
I'm not dead, just surviving the pandemic like all of us are right now.
Anyways, MrNumbers of exceptional writing fame could really use a hand right now. Dental stuff sucks, especially when it's deemed a luxury (contrary to reality)
TL;DR I'm officially opening up for both editing-for-hire and also story commissions. See below for details.
Hey.
I'm Australian, so I guess I don't have much of a right to talk about American politics. But where you lead, we follow -- I'll get back to this at the end. We're the international equivalent of adoring fanboys. Well, we were, right up until about 2004. Something special and precious was lost when we watched you re-elect George W Bush.
Boy, glad nothing that stupid happened again, right?

Hmmm.
It's past midnight (in my timezone).
Which means I'm officially 21 now.
(THERE ARE SELFIES OF ME BEING HANDSOME BUT IN A CASUAL, UNINTERESTED WAY UNDER THE CUT)
It occurs to me that I need to start practicing other forms of writing, such as story or fic reviews. After all, I am a graduate student now, only reasonable that I start exploring some other career opportunities.
Of course, it's sad to be sad. Don't get me wrong. What I mean when I say this is; Your protagonist being sad doesn't make a story about sadness, nor should you expect your audience to empathize with that.
Everyone gets sad, obviously. We can relate to a characters' sadness and feel it as our own, when well written. This should serve as a quick guide to common pitfalls and how/why to avoid them.
In 5 or so years of writing, Sugar and Spice is both the longest and probably the best story I've managed to finish so far. If nothing else, it's absolutely a story that has the most things I like about it, which is particularly weird given that it's just... not the sort of story I tend to write. Side-character, non-Princess romance? OCs? Comedy?!
I know. I must have fallen ill, or something.
