"When human beings are faced with chaotic circumstances, our impulse is to stay safe by doing what we've always done before... How we are convinced finally to change is by hearing stories of other people who risked and triumphed."

Telling stories about change makes real change work better.

This weekend I am visiting the wild west of Wales, and staying in the town of Tregaron.

Tregaron is a pleasant enough place with a population of around 1000, the majority of whom speak Welsh as a first language. The most remarkable thing about Tregaron appears to be the story about the elephant. This is told to all visitors. I have visited the town on several occasions, and heard it more times than I can remember.

If you had asked me six months ago if I ever expected to do story critiques on here, then I might have called you crazy, for that would imply that I had a modicum of skill to make such a venture meaningful to any respectable new writer looking to get his hands and feet wet in this literary sea we call fanfiction. Never in a thousand years would I believe that I’d achieve the mental preparedness for such a venture. And yet here we are.

I saw this a day or so after submitting The Pursuit of Academic Excellence (and Ice Cream). It nicely illustrates the history of writing this story.

There was a subject I didn't get to broach in O' Selfless Child due to how the story was written, but it's something that's been on my mind for a while. I can't stop thinking about it, like a song stuck in your head in a constant loop. It's a question that's been with me throughout my life for everything that I do.

And that's the weight of generosity. The weight of our actions, and how we measure morality.

I couldn't think of a scarier concept to draw this Halloween or rather Nightmare Night, other than Lightning Dawn. The first true fascist Neo-Nazi pony supporter I've ever read. Sorry for being late guys but heres my list of agendas, in no particular order.

Alright, as usual, BC waited til the last minute to drop the schedule but it's out finally.

So, I hear you ask, when is the amazing Ferret and her tame human going to be appearing on stage? Let me tell you!

On Friday the 11th at 2pm in the Harmony Plaza: Neighbourhood stage I'll be participating in 'And That's How Equestria Was Made!' It's a really fun mashup of storytelling games with a pony twist.

Pop quiz for you. Don’t worry, it’ll be easy to answer. Have you ever read any licensed literature? Like Star Wars books, or Star Trek, or Warhammer, or … Sands, really any licensed property? Or maybe seen a tie-in TV show to a movie? Played a game of a movie or a book?

As is obvious from how much I write her, Petunia Paleo is one of my favorite characters. So I knew that I'd have to write a story for her for PVCF. I was a dinosaur geek as a child, and she reminds me a lot of myself in that way. Of note, the font for the story's cover image is supposed to be the Jurassic Park font.

Hey folks! First and foremost, the next chapter will be coming out shortly. Probably tomorrow or Tuesday.

But speaking of this arc, I feel like I ought to say something. I'm aware that a number of readers have voiced, shall we say, "concerns" about this extended finale arc (or at least the flashback arc we're currently in). I'd like to address that for a bit. If you care to read, check after the break...

Shenanigans is a G3 pony who, as far as I know, never had any media presence. She was, however, fairly popular in the toyline. In addition to brushable ponies and mini figurines, there are even official plush versions of Shenanigans. Hard to believe she never featured in any of the G3 specials with just how much merchandise there is of her.
