Rain... Darkness... Why must we shun these things? These dichotomies of tranquility and chaos. We carry our own heat, when we bear our own light. Why don't we let our own warmth guide us? To see us through to better days, past momentary misery and inadequacies and sham and the iniquities of the powerful minority? There are so many more of us, all with our aspiring lights, our drives and dedications to do more, to think more, to become more. We stumble, we falter, we question and doubt and
Missed last week due to birthday shenanigans, so back at it this week.
So below the break, find a little blue that's faded but not forgotten.
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!
I'm pleased to announce the addition of a new short story! I call it The Faded Star.
First of all, if you haven't seen yet, look what updated for the first time in a year! New cover art and everything, I'd never been too big of a fan of the old art, it was never my best... Though I forgot to leave room for the title, oops. I'll figure that out eventually. It's also blurry, for some reason. The art is not like that when clicked on or sourced, however.
Well, after I saw this story in the featured box again and again I decided to finally have a look at it.
By the way: This is not an actual review but more akin to a react and — oh what a surprise — there will be spoilers for the first three chapters.
Everybody got that?!
Good.
Now...
Here. We. Go.
Dearest Readers / Followers,
I left my husband today.
It felt like a long time coming. It's been a very hard day. We agreed to be friends, so I guess that's good. I'm just kind of trying to deal with this. It's hard, dealing with the death of a dreamscape you had for nearly nine years. I don't think I'm dealing with it very well, honestly. I'm just trying to get through it.
Today's story is quite a cool tale.
The World Fades to White
[Adventure] [Sad] • 3,388 words
Princess Flurry Heart and the descendant of Prince Rutherford brave the harsh conditions of the Frozen North, in search of an artifact they hope will save their home from a similar fate.
So, I'm looking at Cyne and Ice contests, and Cyne's is half written and Ice's I have a real good idea for. Not even a long story. I'm looking at Aragon's contest and it's a dream come true. That contest is everything I could have asked for. I love the judges, I love the prompt, I love comedy. I would give anything to enter it, including taking mood regulating medication if I could, and I have been so horrifically depressed that not also can I not write a comedy, I can't do a Home is for the
Hello, readers. The good Captain here. Now, it's been a long while. We got REALLY lazy and haven't done shit. I'm sure that some readers are saddened by our return, but fret not! I bring with our return a PSA!
Today, I bring with me, submitted for your approval, a tale of tragedy. A tale of mistreated authors and poor souls who wish only to write.
Hello! It's been a while since I've done one of my large reviews of anything. The last time was my blog series on 'Bride of Discord' and pointing out and deconstructing fairy tale tropes and why the story was a kiddie guide to an abusive relationship.

So, I noticed something weird tonight.
I was looking over my userpage and considering doing some spring cleaning and I noticed my "Needs More Love" bar was missing a story. Specifically, it had 4 instead of 5, and then I realized why.
Well, fuck it. I've been trying to make this funny or witty or something, but I just couldn't make it. There's no angle. So just -- fuck it, y'all are getting the raw unfiltered thing.
I've graduated.
Good morning. This is, from my point of view, a comedy blog. From the point of view of my family and loved ones, it's a horror story.
I'm so fucking back, baby. Hi, all. Did you miss me? I know I did.
My bout of productivity continues. It's starting to feel 'normal' at this point. Which is great, because it means I can churn out material so much faster than I was before. Which makes me wonder if I shouldn't adjust my release schedule, which is currently shared among all my stories. At the moment it's set on a weekend basis, but that puts me a month ahead of schedule. Eh, nah. I think I'll keep it as is and just release early when I feel like it. The only story that's going to be releasing
