Hey, been a while, right?

Well, now that this journal is out, I figure I should speak my own truth.

I’m not really sure how to begin this one out, but I guess the first thing to do is to rip off the band aid.

I’m going to be completely honest and admit that I just can’t do this anymore.

So it's been almost half a year since the split between the writing team behind The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum. The two sides have had little beyond apathy at best and outright acrimony at worst towards one another, but in general, they have done their best to move on.

So it's been about a month since the collapse of the old Spectrum Crew and cancellation of the story. Unlike my other co-writers, I've stayed out of making any public statements, as I'm not really one for airing out dirty laundry nor am I a confrontational person. Don't try to pry me for any answers or another side on this drama. All of us, on all sides, want to move on forward. As much as many of us want to bring the old days back, that's not going to happen sadly.

Mostly for fun (and because I do genuinely want to avoid writing one), I decided to subject a few of my original characters to some Mary Sue Litmus Tests. Admittedly, I know it's best to take those things with a grain of salt, given they're not exactly specific, but I rediscovered my problems with them.

The sheer superficiality of the tests.

Hi, guys! Kizuna Tallis here, giving you a peek at my pony OCs from TCB Spectrum: Side Story Asia.

These were made in the Pony Creator on DeviantArt. This is a very basic idea on how they look, so some parts weren't quite exact, but they work as close as I visualize them in my head. They don't have cutie marks on them because, well, I don't have the patience to find suitable images for the marks or skills to draw or paste them on.

So I'm not abiding by any of River Song's rules, and decided to reveal a few small things for my story and the main (Please don't kill me Red!!!)

- Catseye (the pony scientist we modeled after She-Who-Must-Never-Be-Named) will play a big role in the Training Days Arc as a minor villain. Expect PWNage and loads of Take That's with regards to her.

Since Doctor Fluffy has been very vocal about what influences his work on the Spectrum-verse, I figured I'd give it a shot to explain what works have influenced my style, both for my own story, and my input on the other members of Team Spectrum's stories.

Thank you EDC, for really getting me into The Glitch Mob, for this amazing song has popped up on my radar. Isn't it perfect for an action scene?!

And got some inspiration too! Can't wait to get back into the spirit of things!

Meanwhile, I've been hunting for a second part time job (and the first one's hours are picking up for the summer), and a few places have been interested in hiring me. I'll definitely need to manage my time well enough to do work and crank out the next chapters for the story.

Good jazz!

Hey guys! So as I write the Asia Side Story and receiving help from the great Redskin himself (and helping back along with others on his story) I realize that others' input would be very greatly appreciated as well. So anyone who wants to reach me on skype and get a preview for an upcoming chapter is welcome to PM me with their skype username and let me know!

Cheers,
Kizuna
