I have a question for you fair folks today. You see, I've been working on On the Implications of Parallel Worlds, and I've reached a certain point where I'd like to have a set of three words. They're not crucial, but I'd like to have them.

One of the fun things we do during Writeoff Competitions is making mashups, blending together the titles of two or more entries and summarizing the plot of the result. On a related note, I've noted some similarities—parallels, one might say—in the titles of some of my recent stories. On another related note, there's a new story in Dueling Keyboards.
It's like a cutie mark. How do you know till you find it? I've honestly never felt more sympathetic to the cutie mark crusaders, the last one even more so than the two who get theirs first. My two best friends are going into vocal music and neuroscience. I'm the only one left.
I have many majors I'm looking at, but these are my top 3 with explanations.
1. Engineering (general): I love solving problems. Just as simple as that.

Yes, it's coming. The rewrite to The Gate is finally coming.
The first chapter of On the Implications of Parallel Worlds cleared my editors last night- so, you can expect to see it going up on Tuesday. Or, my patrons can read it now...
So, at the end of Earthbound, Porky uses Giygas' technology to time travel, somehow becoming a weak and immortal old man. Both in Earthbound and Mother 3, we meet Dr. Andonuts, implying that the two games happen rather closely in the timeline. And yet, we don't meet any other characters from Earthbound (beside of course Porky and the Mr. Saturns). So, are the two games happening in the same world or in parallel worlds? I mean, with the whole "End of the World" stuff in Mother 3, with the

Parallel Universes for Dummies is now up.
It got three downvotes within half an hour of going live.
I'd say I'm disappointed, but really, I'm more impressed. There are at least three users who are constantly searching for new Flash Sentry stories in order to express their displeasure at his continued existence. These people aren't just determined in their hatred, they are devout.

Me: Hmm... it's quiet in here.
Also me: No stop.
Me: I better turn on some music.
Also me: You better not.
Me: ♫We're no strangers to loooove♫
Also me: I SWEAR TO GOOGLE
Me: ♫You know the rules♫
Also me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

And that's what it's like to be in my brain in a quiet room.
Reposting this from Group Precipitation for greater visibility, since so many people have enjoyed it already. One of the latest shorts mentioned Ditzy Doo as an eldritch magical patron, and I took the idea and ran with it. Details follow:
Real Portals To Other Realms: Part One
In fictional stories throughout history, authors have written about portals that are able to transport characters to parallel dimensions, alternate universes, alternate timelines, or far off planets. The characters either know about the portal or find them by chance. These types off stories have a very prominent place in popular culture, some of the most popular being The Chronicles of Narnia and Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
On a completely unrelated note from MLP, I just recently found out about the infamous Berenstein/Berenstain bears conspiracy. People who grew up with the Berenstein bears remember it being spelled just like that. BerenstEIN, but all of our childhood books's titles have changed to be called Berenstain bears. This blows my mind, because I clearly remember it being spelled with an "ei".
This episode almost made me spill my drink on the screen. The reveal that Garble is Smolder's brother came quick, efficiently and merciless. Even after missing the first few minutes of the episode, and therefore all that talk about how Smolder's brother is a softie like Spike, this plot twist still blew my mind. Smolder isn't anything like Garble, how can two dragons who are so different be siblings? One of these apples definitely fell far from the tree. And knowing Garble and looking at his
My goal for this week is to get at least one set of Read it Now Reviews done, one set of Read It Later Reviews done, one new story posted, one piece of original fiction sent off to a publisher, and one video game to be played.
So far, I’m at one for five.

The hiatus is finally over! It's been a long few months, and I'm quite happy for my weekly fix of pony being back.
So, then, with all of the conventions and events around, we get this episode. A rather fun kind of episode. Is there something to this episode that warrants analysis? Let's see. Unto the thoughts! (Few as they may be, as I'm not at home right now.)
