Currently, as it stands, Fridays are my official release days for regular publication. However, my work makes it difficult to set an evening time. So, from here on out, just know that they will be released on Fridays, and I'm going to try to put them out as early as possible. Today it was around 6:30 AM, next week it could be even earlier.

The last time I set up a story, we had... like, ten genres. Romance, Adventure, Slice of Life, Dark, Comedy, Random (you also basically needed the first if you had the second), Sad, Tragedy (once again, need the first if you have the second), Crossover, and Alternate Universe. And then Human was added a bit later before I kind of vanished.

Okay, I will not check the comments here for a while. But please do so anyways. I have not quit or left, just am really inactive right now. But I have story ideas! (Most of them are crossovers) So, what's up?

As you guys can see I've made some small changes to the first chapter:

1) I stopped using the 2nd person to make "general truths", since it sounded weird.
2) Vinyl's THOUGHTS are now written in italic (thanks to Flufux for the tip). It will be easier for you guys to understand who's talking/thinking, and I won't have to write "Vinyl thought" anymore....
Yeah I could've thought of this earlier but I just didn't.

So, I just went to my feed, saw that The Abyss wrote a blog saying that Knighty and Xaq added 70 new character tags. I checked, and there's so many!!! Just go check it out, I don't know what character ISN'T there now!!! Just tell me who isn't there, you'll find that a difficult, maybe impossible task!

In light of Knighty adding new character tags to the site, I retagged several of my stories:

Famous Last Words now has the Starswirl the Bearded tag.

Thanks Mother now features the Spoiled Rich tag.

I finally finished the rewrites! While posting this, I haven't updated them yet, but by the end of the day, the rewrites should be live.

And now I'm working on the fourth chapter, which I hope to finish by the end of next week.

So stay tuned for more, and have a pleasant day!

065 The Great Tag Overhaul

Hello everyone, how are you doing on this fine day?

084 The Great Tag Overhaul 2: Overhaul Harder

Back in November 2015, when we got some sweet new tags to slap on our stories, I took that opportunity to take a look back and make sure the correct ones were in their right places. Now I'm doing it again, but it's tougher, so if you have read any of my stories, I would be grateful if you could take a look and throw your opinion at me. This is totally not a clever plot to get you to read those again.

So, it's pretty late where I am, I can't sleep, and I thought it might be fun for me to rant about the tag system on fimfiction. So here are my thoughts on each tag with the most misused tags (in my opinion) at the end.

Which characters under 'other' should be upgraded to full tags?

Filthy Rich, Trouble Shoes and Button Mash?

I just wanted to explain the new tags on IWFY before people jump on me:

Dark Tag: Because things get dark. *Shrugs* It's not too bad... but you've been warned.

Sex Tag: THERE IS NO SEX IN THIS STORY!!!!!!!!
This tag is here because it's implied. Kinda. To be honest, it's actually molest. I can't give anything away, but it'll be coming in a later chapter. Be prepared.

It's likely gonna be an isolated incident that a chapter turns as dark as this one does, but it's a rough one for a solid moment. Normally a single dark chapter isn't enough to warrant adding a Dark tag for the whole story, but I'm not sure. There's also that there are other dark things that happened here and there, but not like this. Let me know if think the tag's necessary for the chapter, the whole thing, or just let it be.

I have long been in the process of rewriting every journal/diary/blog entry by hand over again to eventually post elsewhere, possibly Fanfiction.net, that being the most frequently recommended place I have seen from those from whom I have asked.

They have no standards whatever and will take virtually anything, with a couple of exceptions. They need to be tagged, and since it's a fanfiction site, again, it needs to be based on something.

...I need to update Twilight's Secret Journal soon.

We're gonna tag blog posts now. But if you want posts about Pinkie, you don't want to search #pinkie, #Pinkie, #pinkie_pie, #pinkie pie, #Pinkie Pie, #pinkie-pie, #pinky, #pinkiepie, and #pinky_pie. I propose standards. What do you think of these?

lowercase
#luna, not #Luna
Doesn't matter; knighty fixed it.

Use present tense instead of past
#suck not #sucked

Hello everyone! So, one more site update, but this time it helps you guys too!

So, I rewrote the overall layout and setup of the stories page...

But you may notice something else new...

I need some input!
Northland has to be the story with the most change-y tags ever. Any ideas what the thing should actually be tagged with?
Maybe just AU & Hu? Nothing? I CAN'T DECIDE!

I've always defended the Slice of Life tag on Sharing the Night when it was a choice between that or adventure, but now we have a drama tag, which I think is a better fit, so I swapped that in.

That is all.

Edit: there was a time when I thought I would label the story as a mystery, given the chance. Thoughts?

What are you doing looking at a random dude's pony fan fiction blog late at night? You got more important things to do. Like, a job, or working on a new...um...thingy.

Excusing that dreadful and unnecessary introduction (why do I keep doing them?), I have a new story coming out.

Just not the one I was talking about the other day. This one's a one-shot clop fiesta.

It'll be glorious.
