This story was always one of my favorites out of Poe. The description of the rooms stuck in my mind for years.
It's so nightmarishly timely now...

So, this time it really HAS been a while. What have I been up to? Well, my depression has been acting up quite a lot recently, not least of which because I and my family are preparing to move, and it has been being quite stressful. Things seem like they might be calming down a bit, now, and it looks like the move will be happening, potentially by the end of this month. Things will probably wind up getting QUITE hectic again, for a bit, just before and after, but hopefully once the move is

Get on it folks!
...and I'm just here like:
"They're 9 years apart, though."
I get age doesn't matter when it comes to love, and that's totally fine! Hell, in Harold and Maud, a 20-year-old guy fell for an 80-year-old woman. But that doesn't help the fact they're still 9 years apart, so...
...I should probably shut up now.
There are three confusing phrases used frequently in art theory that all seem to mean the same thing, but don't. They have a long history of being rhetorically abused, because people are more certain that they all mean something good, than they are about what they mean. Many people have tried to [win arguments without making them] by changing the meanings of these phrases. Today they've been adapted to use as a shell game, so people can avoid being called out on their contradictory beliefs
Just recently, I bought some frozen pizzas from Meijer.
It was a brand I'd never heard of, called Urban Pie Pizza Company.
I was attracted to them because there was a buy one, get one free tag next to them.
As it turned out, the tag was for the next pizzas over, but whatever. I was down for trying something new, so I bought two of them anyways.

Whenever I take time away from writing, I always forget that I do my best work when I skip around chapters and scenes like a little kid in a sweets shop trying to decide which candy to buy. And then I inevitably try to write things sequentially because it makes sense, and because I wrote an outline and everything, you know, and then I get stuck because I've forgotten to run around between scenes like a crazy person, which is really the only way I ever finish anything.
Fresh from the presses, I present to you Track Switch - Frankfurt Calling, by Celefin. For most of you, he’s somebody you’ve never heard of, but never mind all that.

Three and a half more specific pieces of advice for writing effective horror.
Ragos has done it again, written another fantastic entry for my Not-A-Contest!
First we had our changeling plumber, and now it’s a kirin firefighter.
Wanted to mention a couple of important things today, but the most important to me is to say that the resourceful, educated, talented and illustrious Fana Farouche has joined me on Deathless, and is now working tirelessly with me behind the scenes to catch as many of my fumbles and correct as many of my bad decisions as is humanly, or even ponily, possible. I've really enjoyed working with Fana on whipping the story into shape so far, and
Out of all the science fiction stories I’ve experienced over the years, it’s obvious to say that Star Wars has had a massive impact on our entire culture, both for the casual and hardcore fans alike.
And why not? It fundamentality both changed and challenged story making tropes by not only creating a vast expanded universe that is still going on nearly 40 years after it’s conception in 1977, to the major twist in Empire Strikes Back that is still being parodied today.
While making story notes for future chapters (yeah, I'm still trying), I realized all of my image links are broken in my stories.
Oh no!
Luckily, I still have all of them backed up on 2 hard drives.
Oh yeah!
Curiously, I checked the links to see if some douche changed how the links worked, and the imgur image was still up on their site.
That's weird!
Deathless has just been approved, and it's a Real Live Story now. Many thanks to the FimFiction staff for their work, as always!
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go add this beast to a couple of groups and then bite my nails a little. Just a little.
It's done. It's not edited, it's not sanity-checked, and it hasn't in any way been exposed to the outside world yet, but the first draft of Act 1 of Deathless is complete. 12 chapters and around 35k words, which positions it pretty much dead-center for a complete work weighing in at around novel-sized.
I hadn't actually planned on doing a novel's worth of horse words, but what the hell.
Global Politics is Magic is a group for stories that feature human reaction to ponies (and other creatures from MLP) on a mass scale. Though some stories about a select few ponies gaining intimate insight into human society at large could make it in. The terms are rather loosely defined right now (whoa, as I'm writimg this I saw a story get added. How cool is that? Someone joined! Squee! :D) so feel free to make
