I don't really like making excuses, so I'm just going to come out and say it: Between INJUSTICE 2, Until Dawn and working seven days a week, I haven't really done much (read: anything) in the way of writing since my ol' buddy ol' pall Timaeus challenged me to write a TaviScratch one-shot which I promptly started and then stopped working on partway through. I know: naughty Blundy.

Slowly but surely working my way through seemingly every TaviScratch fic on the site as I outline what's sure to be my longest story yet. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone, I’d say it’s been a good year or so since I did anything for real on this account. So thank you to everyone that has stuck around and anyone new these past years that have come by for visiting and reading everything. I apologize if I left some stories on the burner for too long, so to show I truly am sorry I’ll be putting out updates or new stories every week this month. I plan to do something as time goes on to show I’m still doing things but for now keep a lookout for a new

Like it says in the title, after another long as heck hiatus of school and such I've got another chapter for everyone. Finally getting into the real plot and an actual Mafia arc after all these years. Next chapter is already in the works and about 1/5 of the way done. Stick around if you can, I didn't start this story without plans to slowly make it one of the longest OctaScratch stories around. Thanks to everyone that's been reading, and will be reading.

Before I get started on what’s happening with Hearing is Believing, I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that Handle with Care was featured today. As a celebration, I plan to put out a chapter of Hearing is Believing. As I write more, and more chapters become backlogged, I’ll post some more. I currently have three chapters done, with more on the way so stay tuned with this story.

Thanks again.

Aha! A story post. Only I didn't write it. But I love how it's written.

The story is an OctaScratch fic plus some... other stuff. Some hawt stuff. Wow, am I bad at plugging stuff.

Listen, here's a link to the author's story list. And here is a peek at the story itself.

As the title suggests, I wrote this as a (slightly late) birthday present for a brilliant dude. Massive thanks to Ceffyl Dwr for giving me the idea and helping me with pre-reading, you're an absolutely excellent guy.

So yeah, read and enjoy!

AAIQU

Octavia's and Vinyl's life together. You think it's simple, and I'm going to prove you're wrong. So, heads or tails?

I gave in and watched an episode of season 5 before it was on Netflix. No regrets. The episode was amazing! From the LyraBon and OctaScratch fuel to ALL THE DOCTOR WHO REFERENCES!!! Plus Button Mash and a hint of best ship. And that random frame. Yeah, I have no clue what that was, but oh well. I still greatly enjoyed the episode. 10/10.

So ... that quarantine, huh?

So what is this about? Well, essentially I wanted something else to write about about it between working on fics and lately, I've been reading a lot of romance stuff. In response to that, I have decided to try to give my thoughts on certain ships that I particularly like, why I like them, and some common writing tropes to avoid when writing them and we're starting out with probably one of the most well known ships when it comes to background ponies, Octascratch.

imho, this story does some lovely things with music, friendship, realizations, and personal growth.

Since I suspect some people don't believe me that this exists, here's an extract from the upcoming chapter of Playing With My Heart.

Vinyl’s throat closed up. She wondered whether the floor might actually be able to open up and swallow her in a dream. Maybe she could will it to happen.

“Do not be frightened.” Princess Luna took a step toward her. “I intend you no harm.”

I finished my story for Jinglemas, the site wide secret Santa thingy, and will be uploading on the twenty-sixth as scheduled. I honestly think it's some of my greatest work, and I'm eager to show it off. Not only that, but to see the reaction from the recipient themselves.

Fuck. This was EPIC. This is the only word to define what I felt about this fucking episode. IT WAS FULL OF PANDAS EVERYWHERE and references too. I was expecting a lot from it, but this... this was more than I ever expected! Who would say a donkey wedding would be so fucking awesome? Now go get more after the break...
