About Me
I am the Hoppy Tiller. If you've seen this name before, I am that exact same individual.
Mid-twenties, proud NCO in the U.S. Chair Force, and avid reader of just about anything/everything on FIMFiction (minus them weird clopfics).
I've got contact links available for email and Discord if DMs are hard.
Due to current circumstances (deployment) I am available for editing and proofreading.
Further status updates may follow.
Hello Everypony,
So it's been a little while. As I believe I've said to a few folks, I've been taking a bit of a break from pony writing in order to assemble notes for my next novel. It occurs to me however that I can probably do both if I pace myself, and it's not like I actually want to stop enjoying busting out new horsewords - well, I never intended to stop, but a long break makes it hard to stay away.
Hello Everypony,
I used to post more general status messages, so I figured it would be good to do so again. Some folks might have noticed that ever since the hiatus of Under the Dark, I'm on a bit of a holding pattern in terms of commission work. Don't worry, I don't plan to stop. I've just been doing an *awful lot* of pony writing for awhile now, and I'm in need of a little break.
Making good progress on chapter 3 of my story, but I’ve had to slow down a bit these past few days due to an a-hole of a cold, that is probably more than that. That said, I do still want to get it done before the weekend, as I do have a follower to keep happy. I checked out my ranking on followers today, and I rank at 51,000 and odd change. But what the hell, that really isn’t the point anyway.
It's been ten days, no? Well, "The tale of the Spy" has just been updated!
Next on the list -- "Daring Do..."! I'll try to publish soon, but stuff may happen... Do stay tuned!
So, apparently, they didn't like my hyphens out there...
CUR-R-RSE-E-ES!!!
No, seriously, curse you, you bureaucrats, for failing my submission because of a tiny formatting issue!!! Uh... May you all ch-change for the best, why shan't you?..
I should really stop trying to understand how people behave toward me on the Internet.

Yesterday my story had finally undergone a transformation from a 500-word draft to a fully shaped narrative!
Hooray! Now, if only I knew, how to lead this tale to conclusion... Which will be I know what, but what happens for that conclusion to transpire? What I am sure of is, that shenanigans shall ensue, and then laughs shall be had... but that's it. How all of this is going to happen -- I have no idea.
I'll see, what I can do about it...
So... I was on my way to the pre-exam exercise (sort of "exercise")... and I happened to check the e-mail.
* Your story has been approved.
We need a victory jingle!
This may call for a PARTY!!!
As I promised, all of the steps to take before publishing are processed. Publishing, however...
As of starting this entry, it's past midnight, 20.01.19, Sunday.
The night before last Friday I finally got to the end of my to-be story! Culmination and resolution!.. The former, anyway. The night before last Friday and the night before Saturday past (or present for those living western-more of UTC+0) I grafted till the (both) mornings! I would do it now as well, but... may I, please, have a sleep ?
I'm currently enjoying myself immensely slash performing research by reading Side Jobs.
Just finished Backup. (
) But I'll have a more detailed write-up later, like I did for Skin Games a bit back.
(Tagged spoilers inside that link for those of you not caught up with Skin Games but insisting on reading Dark Horse anyway.)
I'm still mostly focused on the new, more polished final-arc outline (21624 words) but I've also started a bit on the V2 of #8. (4372 words.)
Interestingly enough, it does seem like the story will be 12-14 chapters long right now. Something I've been hoping but not banking on.
The final, final outline is done. Took a long time, a lot of trials and tribulations, tons of feedback I'm extremely grateful for...
But think I'm going to be real proud of this one, when all is said and done.
Number of chapters left and current planned names, behind the cut. For those of you that prefer to be surprised.
As always, thanks for your patiance, and for reading.
So it has been... quite a while since I posted anything here. I have the month free, after college assignments and system upgrades, might as well post this, to let you guys know I'm still alive.
I know what you all want me to update (and in fact, that is why I'm tagging it), and I assure you I want to finish it. I haven't touched it in a few months now, so I need to review what I do already have and try to get that thing out ASAP.
