This is not a My Little Pony post. Suffice it to say that I was generally very pleased with the first episode of His Dark Materials, which went out on BBC1 a few hours ago and will appear in other places on HBO tomorrow (Monday). A few niggles here and there, and the inevitable problem of not being able to translate everything in a novel like Northern Lights to the screen. Overall, though? Very good. Ruth Wilson's Mrs Coulter is up there with Nicole Kidman's, and Kidman was

Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did not feel like a big American series. The ending with Donna spilling her drink into

Not on here, I should say. While I'm fine with making the occasional non-MLP post, I certainly don't want to do a hundred or so of them! Why that many, I hear you ask? Because I am seriously tempted to do a chapter-by-chapter reread, blogging about it as I go. I have read the books before, more than once, but the idea still appeals. I expect it would be posted over on my Dreamwidth. If anyone's interested, keep an eye out as I'll

It has been a while since I released something here, but that doesn't mean I stopped writing.
Years ago, long before I published any story here, I had great plans to create my own Intellectual Property, something I could both love and make profit of, my own multiverse so to speak.

Before I forget yet again, I'll make a fairly rare non-Pony post. The His Dark Materials reread blog I said in February I was considering? It's happening, and indeed I'm now seven chapters into Northern Lights. Should anyone be interested, the relevant posts are on my Dreamwidth (the linked tag will give

My friend Alice "Huskyteer" Dryden has just won this year's Ursa Major Award in the Best Short Work category for her 2,000-word tale "The Analogue Cat"! It appears in The Furry Future (ed. Fred Patten) and here on SoFurry, and is a wonderful short read. It's also a second-person fic, so there. ;)

First up, everyone is physically okay. I'm not going to go into great detail here, but suffice it to say that while in Scotland with various family members, the car I was in (driven by my dad) was hit by the back corner of a lorry. That car is a write-off. While insurance will make a payment, it obviously won't be what the undamaged car was worth. As such, it's going to be a struggle for my parents. I will help where I can, but I also have little to spare* and so I think for the

I've reached what I consider the midpoint of my next story, so I thought I'd give an update. It is already longer than any of my previous works, and I've only just started approaching the over-arc, or story arc that exists above the others. I haven't posted anything yet because, A) it isn't pony-related, and B) after tDDGtE, I like to finish the whole story before I start publishing it. I'll still be using the shorter chapter style that tDDGtE prototyped, but once I start releasing I'll likely

I just wanted to let everyone know why I haven't updated anything in a while.

I'm currently working on a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon styled story at the moment. I say styled, because I've taken some liberties with both the pokemon and mystery dungeon formula for story-telling sake. It also contains no pony so it won't be posted here.

PMD: Worldforged Exile, My most ambitious single work yet, is complete and all of the pagebreaks have been correctly added(Fimfiction has spoiled me in terms of formatting...) It isn't pony related, but it clocks in at over 84k words(nearly double my last pony fic).

Well, may be just a little bit ...

As title says this is movie film from Detroit: becoming human (PS4)

"My Name is Kara - Kara Full Story - Detroit Become Human" - 2018

2.5 hours of .. interactive drama. I liked it.
I doubt anything like this will surface IRL in 20 (or even 50) years, but as allegory this is fine story .....

So, in between updates on the latest story, I've decided to review another movie, or rather, another pair of movies, both because I have a lot I've wanted to say about these two movies in particular (this being the only real outlet I have for that) and because some of my readers actually seem to like this. To wit, my review of Now You See Me 1 and 2.
