oh my goodness, first i have to give all my love to AppleJinx for the typewriter in Quills and Sofa's this year. I swear there was never more than a minute or two of silence before someone woild start tapping away on it and 6the works that came out of it were hysterical. Everything from/ Shining references to a page long trext adventures to arguments over best princess, to letters to celestia from Hillary Clinton. Zyrian took the stack and has promised to scan and upload them to make sure he is

For those of you who didn't see the post on my old account, I'll be attending Bronycon this year as a volunteer. I'll be helping out with the writing panels as a liaison, so if you go to any of those and see a pale-faced nerd in a staff shirt with brown hair, glasses, and bad posture, that's probably me. I'll be going by my SFW moniker of CyborgSamurai (for obvious reasons) but if you're around and you wanna say hi, feel free!

Hope to see you there!

In short, I had a great time.

Went to a lot of informative and exciting panels: some about writing, Hooves Line, and Riffing is Magic.

Hey, everyone! I realize this is a bit late, but every time I've even thought of trying to post about BronyCon, my brain just went, "Uuuuugh..." I was still really tired. But I have enough energy to do so now! But before I get into that...

Hello wonderful folks one and all. I'm coming to Bronycon! I'll be attending several panels and I'm even on a panel! The Equestria Daily panel at a time and locale I've forgotten. The best way to find me is to look in Quills and Sofas. i'll be the really noisy one.

Hope to see you there~

For those of you I knew who were there, it was great seeing you. For those of you who weren't, wish you had been. And to those I met, a fond farewell.

Let's do it again sometime.

Okay, so, 2015 was a pretty seat-of-pants visit to Bronycon Baltimore. It worked out all right, but there were opportunities I missed out on simply because I didn't (a) plan far enough ahead and (b) inform other people far enough ahead of time what my plans were. So, for the sake of the interested—whatever that means—I am officially moving from "tentative planning" to "hotel booking" levels of certainty. Make of this what you will! Note that it's been bumped up a few months and is now

So myself and my significant other Stitchwolf finally got home yesterday from our extended vacation to Anthrocon and Bronycon yesterday. It is so nice to have my own bed again!

So Somber spotted my MLP lapel pin and sat down to chat with me as we waited in the airport.

Turns out the author Horizon and the author of Project Horizons are taking the same flight to #horsecon.

Quills & Sofas was the beneficiary of an unusual gift: a manual typewriter left for public use in Quills & Sofas. It prompted an outpouring of spontaneous, mostly anonymous output from the guests.

Here's most of what came out of Friday:

Hi all. Long time no blog post.

So BronyCon is coming up in a couple days. I've been looking forward to it pretty much all summer. Wanderer D invited me to join the Advanced Writing panel this year[1]. My first time getting invited onto a panel; I was pretty excited.

I headed home to spend the summer with my parents, as I usually do.

So, I somehow forgot to post one of the best parts of Friday night and all of BronyCon in yesterday's blog. I'm going to go with the fact that I was super tired at the time.

I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow, I get to return home.

It was nice meeting everyone. Folks here were really friendly, and I got to see a lot of very smart people say some very smart things. I got to talk with people, not just about ponies, but about all sorts of things. We were all among friends, and it was an enjoyable experience, apart from the odd bit of awkwardness.

I joined the Evil League of Evil in its invasion of a local food court.

Afternoon friends! So, I knew this about a week ago, but figured might as well finally confirm it here officially. This year, for the first time ever, I will not only be getting to attend a convention (yes, my first one ever), but none other than BronyCon 2016!!! Don't really have much else to say besides that, other than that I'm psyched and if any of ya'll are going there, feel free to track me down and say 'Hi'. I'll most likely be doing some Poniverse activities while I'm there since

So there's about six posts at once I need to write — including a con wrap-up, and reviews for all the 80 Days crossover fics that have come in — but this is the most important to post quickly as I get everything unpacked and struggle to catch back up.

So here is a cool thing: On Sunday, outside of Quills & Sofas, we took a group photo of as many authors as we could round up.

Here is a cooler thing:
