I've been keeping this under my hat for a while, but I've known about the upcoming live-action Netflix series for a few months now, having been asked to preview the first episode as part of the test audience, as the show needed to pass muster with both the primary and peripheral demographics (which I am part of, I am not quite sure).

It was something that had to be seen to be believed, that's for sure.

Expect it coming to a computer near you. And maybe even not via torrent or YouTube!

...it hasn't come back to me yet, but there is still some time left before I worry about this! So I'll wait till tomorrow before I worry about anything!

As a couple of friends have asked me, especially when I were to describe a scene that I imagined from a game, but with more detail, or even a re-writing of some events that happened in a D&D game I run/ran, some of my friends have said... "Wow man. That's kind of believable. I mean, minus the magic, or the crazy stuff. How'd you think of it without it being so friggin' long or ... drab?"

Well, I recall reading an article about it some time ago.. i wish I could friggin' remember where I saw it, but essentially I applied basic logic/Newton's law. The whole, "For every action there's a reaction." Heck, it goes for Roleplaying as well. Single line answers don't even CUT it. I mean, if SOMETHING is happening, there is a thought process.

Well, I've been looking around a few places, and I've been doing a few estimations, and I think that before this year is over, I'll finally have my first batch of shirts and/or posters made and ready to sell/give away!

I'm just getting some personal projects done and over with first, and then I'll work on a couple of new pictures to submit to a site I've come across so they can make them into shirts and posters. Due to current budget issues as it is now I'd have to buy small quantities to start out with, so I'm going for about 10 shirt and posters on my first order when I get around to it, though I'll ask for more if I get any extra cash as I go along.

I'm excited. I really hope this work cause' this is something I've wanted to do since the start of this year.

Currently Reading: Green - Chapter 24
Currently Listening: Starry Starry Night (Luna's Song) - Vincent Parody
Current Mood:

So I wanted to write a pony homage to such punchtastic action classics as Kickboxer and Rocky IV. I started a first draft last night for a story centering around Applejack getting into "undeground buck fighting" to save the farm. Rainbow Dash joins her, and romancey stuff ensues (because sure, why not).

Heya loyal readers,

I rarely recommend stories, but I'm recommending The Brief, Torrid Love-Affair of Fernando the Straw and Madame le Flour . Like the titular characters, the story could use some love. And it's likely to touch you in ways that might require you to call out for an adult.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might call the cops. Go ahead and give it a go.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and [the door] shall be opened unto you..." -Matthew 7:7

This bible verse is about the power and efficacy of prayer and God's faithfulness in giving a response.
It also (apparently) applies very well to FimFiction. For long, you have asked for a threequel to round out the 'General Dragon' series as a trilogy. You have asked, and shall receive. You have sought, and found. You have knocked, and I have answered with, 'Just a minute, bro, I'm not finished yet because college is S A V A G E.'

Blast From The Past: Mummies Alive!

As you know, I am absolutely obsessed with learning everything about ancient civilizations (including ancient Egypt). And that is why I used to watch this awesome show called Mummies Alive!

Mummies Alive! was an American animated series from DIC Entertainment. It originally aired for one season in 1997.

The plot revolved around the reincarnation of a Pharaoh's son who was named Rapses.

I gotta say, no movie has made me feel this many conflicting emotion... not even 13 hours!

The filmmakers did a really good job at putting you right into the action, making you feel like you were really there. My heart was racing and i felt fear, sadness, and anger, as the explosions, the aftermath, and the chase went on.

Best movie of 2017 so far for sure!.... then again... i've only seen one movie...... this one...

And it was only 8 bucks for a ticket since it was movie of the week! what a deal!

One thing I often see writers struggle with is physical action: things like fight scenes, races, or the like. Sequences where the characters are moving a lot and interacting with other physical elements in a short space of time. I struggle with it myself, come to that.

These are tricky things to write for several reasons. They work against the strengths of prose as a medium. Prose works best when details are left to the reader to fill in. Action sequences require specificity and choreography. They are detail-oriented, and rely on many interactions happening quickly. Prose is a slow medium, and it has trouble describing such scenes in an organic way. This is why action scenes are generally the purview of cinema, theatre, and video games: visual mediums that can communicate them more organically. Describing motion and action takes a lot of time in prose.

So for the past few months a friend and I have been planning a rather lengthy story series. It is a mix of completely original characters and ideas mixed with some community favorites. It follows the story of a mare, Spotlight (yes she is the one I have plastered all over my profile) and her contribution to Equestira's history.

It involves some action, slice of life, romance, horror, space-time-theory, there is a little bit of everything for everyone. Now the question can be raised, how is this a series... well I'm planning on making it episodic. Not quite sure about a release schedule or just about anything, but there may or may not be some sequels for you to look forward to once I'm finished.

I'm looking forward to writing this series and I hope (at least some of you) are interested in reading it.

Flutter On!

THAT WAS GOOOOOD.

So, as you one person probably knows, I was taking a break from writing because I've been doing it pretty much each and every day for nearly three years (even vacations were used to play catch-up) but now I feel much better and read to tackle it once more!

And first on the list is continuing my first story sequel and go one step closer to finishing, as well as a story about another certain background pony.

But that one won't be out UNTIL it's done, and not a moment sooner.

Anyway, on today's update, I'd like to go back to a story of mine: Free Falling which was well received a few weeks back.

Well, someone enjoyed it so much, that they decided to make a reading of it! You can find it here! It just makes me smile that someone enjoyed something enough to do this.

Anyway, that's it for this week. Take it easy!

Good day,

I was inspired to write this after seeing a post questing whether it was the action in an action scene that mattered more or the motives and characters behind the action. I think it’s an interesting topic that has changed over the past few hundred years. There are two secrets to writing at work here.

First, people like it when their brains are active, it's an evolutionary trait, and different people generate more brain stimulation from different things. Some people like action more and some people like the metaphorical fights.

It has taken longer than Ah originally expected it to, but at long last Ah finished it.
Still gotta proof it, and tweak a few things no doubt, but this one...oh man. This one was something else to write. There's quite a bit going on with it, but what it will lead to are many things Ah cannot wait to put mah own spin on.

So soon, mah followers, soon it will drop.
And lemme tell you fine folks, it's a big one. Haha!

Wake me up, Wake me up inside (I can't wake up), wake me up inside, save me from the dark--

What? That's exactly what was running through my mind when I watched this movie.

Looney Tunes: Back in Action is the 2003 film that pretty much singlehandedly completely destroyed the small, shivering injured puppy that was Warner Bros. Animation Studios, while also managing to very nearly sink the Looney Tunes brand itself (a reboot of the Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network in the early 2010s was met with mixed reviews, but has since gained a cult following, including this reviewer himself, but that has nothing to do with this...atrocity.)

When I began Twilight's Secret Journal, I had no idea it would be a novel-length undertaking. I also didn't know how to write very well.

Nopony ever pays attention to the cover...

With that in mind, it's finally time for a revision. I am not changing any major plot points or the storyline. Most of the changes will be wording and formatting, though some minor story elements may change slightly (e.g. which accessory metals are which, or my voicing for Applejack and Trixie). I will both blog and comment every significant change to the story, so if you track TSJ (or if you follow me) you shouldn't miss anything.
