The Origins of Smashing Down · 9:27pm May 16th, 2014

Smashing Down as a story originally came to be as an afterthought. Being that I knew most of my stories at the time were terrible (and that I was still doing them for the sake of finishing them), I wanted to make a truly good story, one with... Well... An actual plot rather than a cliché storm. And thus, I did what I always do when looking for ideas:

I started a video game.

I had a ruptured appendix. Said appendix needed to be surgically removed. Recovery will end at the end of this week.

Taking pain medication now.

So, I'm thinking of going to a Convention... · 5:11am Apr 24th, 2014

It's kind of one of those things that I have always wanted to do. The problem is that I am in the middle of nowhere. As in, I would have to travel 350+ miles to get there.

My options are, at this time, limited to:
Everfree Northwest
BronyCAN

My question to you all is, what would YOU suggest? I ain't in the best of financial straits, now or ever, so I have to keep that in mind. That, and I am still technically a child, at least for six more months. So yay.

My Little Pony: Rewriting Really Old Stories is Magic · 5:36pm Mar 22nd, 2014

Okay, for those of you not in the know, my first story sucked.

A lot.

Therefore, between chapters of Smashing Down, I am going to be rewriting it in full. For now, the story is having all of its' chapters removed. When everything is set, I will republish them all. This has needed to be done for a long time.

Once I am done with it, the sequel will follow, and then I can finally get to writing the third story in the series without shooting myself.

Looking for... · 7:39pm Jan 20th, 2014

I am looking for people who have both experience in editing/prereading, and whom have read Harry Turtledove's popular Worldwar series of novels. I think the implications on here should be fairly obvious.

In official news... · 11:16pm Jan 19th, 2014

My first series, the 'In Conflict' trilogy, is being put on indefinite hiatus. I have completed stories 1 and 2, and they both sucked. Majorly. They contained hundreds of errors, and even though I have much of the third and concluding story planned out, I haven't even started writing the first chapter. For those of you expecting an immediate start, I am sorry.

In the meantime, I'll be working on my other stories, such as Smashing Down.

Today, January 16th, happens to be the day that I became a brony. How did I come up with a specific date? Going back and looking at the date i started watching it.

Anyway, that's awesome, and I don't have much else to say. Feel free to ask questions, though.

Thank You + Smashing Down Stuff · 12:23am Dec 29th, 2013

First off, I'd like to thank everybody who is following me for actually doing so, especially those who did so during my first days of writing. I know my early stories (*cough* World in Conflict crossover *cough*) were poorly researched (IE having three An-225s flying at one: Only one was built... Ever), poorly written, cliché in many ways, and generally not the greatest stories (or the definition of 'good'). However, you all stuck with me. You all are the reason, with your nitpicking and
