Should I try writing it? The last time I tried writing entirely original fiction was before I even started writing fanfics. I originally started publishing fics here for practice when the time came around for trying again.

Now, with how well Pony-Me has been doing, I've been feeling pretty confident that I could type out a decent original fic based on the same premise.

Should I try again after failing years ago?

I've long-since passed the character names barrier, and I've now officially begun transcribing Chapter 1, or "Wake Up." into the new story's original take. Many of the same plot elements and scenes remain the same for now, with wordings and references to MLP removed and/or modified.

In other words, I'm basically writing the same story from the ground up, except without MLP.

Oh boy, trying to handle the Pinkie Pie/Samantha subplot's gonna be a doozy of a workload when I get to it.

Really haven't been all that active on here lately, have I? One round of updates that never even hit Worlds Reset, and suddenly I'm off again after publishing a 250 follower special.

What I'm saying is, don't mind me while I adapt Pony-Me to original fiction. Working on the 3rd chapter as of today.

History, in any world, is shaped by those precious few bearing great influence, be it from wealth, charisma, or strength. But not all those with such power ever expected to wield any, much less a kind which could be described as magic.

Well, after literally more than half of my life, here it is.

Destinies Beyond the Mythos. My book.

The publishing process has been incredibly difficult, a constant slog of work to make a product that was worth the attention of other people, and it's finally done. On the non pony side this means that I'm going to spend the next few weeks crying in a corner as no copies sell. On the pony side, more fanfic probably!

Since it’s been over a year since release, and I don’t think anybody else is going to buy it at this point, I’ve decided to release my original fantasy novel from last year for free! You can read it right in dropbox here, or download the file. It’s an EPUB, so it’ll be compatible with most e-reader apps.

So, after my blog post the other day, I decided to start a group: The A.K. Yearling Society for Original Writers

Hi, everypony! So, a few days ago, I finally finished my second novel, Mektar: Reflection, and it's now available for your reading pleasure (or displeasure, but hopefully not). In terms of genre, Mektar is a science fiction thriller with a minor romantic subplot, and is over 150,000 words in length. Also notable is the fact that there are two

So.

I mentioned before that I really only originally came to the site to practice writing because my original story at the time (that I then considered to be the best thing ever™) was feeling a little lackluster.

Thing is, nobody, save for a few close friends and family, has ever seen this thing. The first story I posted was supposedly a crossover between MLP and this original story, but for the most part, nearly everything save for the characters were changed.

After the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and in particular after the drone strike that killed an aid worker and several family members, a few people reached out to ask about I story I wrote several years ago for the Writeoff original fiction contest. It was, in fact, the first original fiction piece I'd written in years, and it dealt with the (fictional) aftermath of drone strike that went wrong. I had removed it from the Writeoff site, but since enough people have inquired about it, I've decided

Surprise, I have a new story out! Very NSFW, obviously, hence why I have a mature fic tagged. As it's not MLP related, you can read it here. Offprint is still in alpha, so if you want to comment and don't feel like making an account yet, just pop back in here and let me know what you think!

You can read it here. Again, mature fic tagged, and you can share your thoughts on this blog since Offprint is still in alpha.

For the first time, I have submitted a piece of fiction to a publisher in the hopes of them rewarding me with money.

We'll see if they like it.

Write a set of Read It Now reviews
Write a set of Read It Later reviews (3/5 done)
Submit a piece of pony fiction to FIMFiction (5,500 words of ~8,000 done)
Submit a piece of original fiction to a publisher
Play at least one video game

I was wondering if anyone knew of any great sites to post original fiction, chapter by chapter? I know about Fiction Press. So far my idea is to read a chapter on my youtube channel and then post a link to it somehwere, google drive?

Any ideas?

and by that i mean i put together some extremely basic ref sheets for Zoey and Caleb lol

Yeah, it’s a break week, and yeah, I wasn’t supposed to do reviews. But this story got published just yesterday and I figure I’d best strike while the iron is hot.

So, I’m just gonna cut right to the chase. I’m probably not going to be writing anything new on Fimfic for a while, unless the next season provides me with an interesting idea for a one-shot. The main reason for this is that I’m trying my hand at original fiction again, and I’ve let myself be distracted for long enough. Right now, I’m four chapters in, with way more to go. To give you an idea of the scope of this project, my outline/notesheet is a ten-page document, single spaced.
