Thoughts on "My Flight" · 1:46am Apr 15th, 2016

Well, it's the most popular story I've put here (except for certain snips that I submitted to the MLP Time Loops).

But it didn't win any of the Scribblefest 2016 categories. Oh well. It still did well for something I thought over for a week, typed out in a single sitting, and barely edited at all.

Now that that's done, I want to mention a couple of things.

New Story Posted · 9:56pm Feb 21st, 2016

I wanted to give a little exploration of Cherry Berry, and I wanted to put a story in the Northwest Everfree writing contest, so I wrote "My Flight" today.

No, I don't know when I'll have time or energy to pick up Melancholy of Pinkie Pie again. But I haven't given up, either.

Progress on Melancholy of Pinkie Pie · 2:50am Dec 15th, 2013

I've been stuck and stuck hard on chapter 5, but tonight, while in my hotel room in Indianapolis, I sat down and finally got a pretty good heartsong written for Rarity the esper.

Unfortunately the next heartsong to come up is probably Rainbow Dash's, considering the plot for the chapter (which is almost totally original, not derived from the original Melancholy story).

Still, it's progress, and the heartsongs are by far the biggest hurdle to getting this job done.

Season Four Begins... · 4:35pm Nov 23rd, 2013

... and I think a lot of adventure fanfics here just got Jossed.

One point, though: Five Score Divided by Four fanfics just got a boost. It's very clear from the two-part season opener that Discord's reformation is skin-deep at best. He's still an evil bastard barely held in check by the friendship of a single pony.

I just wanted to say these things while they're fresh in my mind- that, and I was extremely impressed with the animation, especially in the first half of the two-parter.

How Equestria Works, Part 5 (finishing Season One) · 5:27am Nov 10th, 2013

I've been VERY busy, so I haven't found time up until now to write up my findings- but I have found time, here and there, to re-watch the rest of Season One and take notes. Here's the results.

(1) Evidence of technology post-1900 USA (radios, TVs, computers, etc.)
Suited for Success - non-treadle-powered sewing machines, steam iron, mixer turntables

How Equestria Works, Part 4 · 4:31am Sep 19th, 2013

Side note: on the question of holding things in one hoof or standing on two legs, I've decided to ignore all future Pinkie Pie examples.

After watching Season 1, Disc 2:

(1) Evidence of technology post-1900 USA (radios, TVs, computers, etc.)
Look Before You Sleep - electric lights (which were knocked out by a lightning-strike power surge, so NOT unicorn magic; also turned on by a switch that goes CLICK)

A Quick Observation on Logic · 5:16am Sep 17th, 2013

I wasted the evening discussing the question of whether an objective moral code exists (my position: it doesn't) with a certain author. He concluded by saying that, since I was not trained in philosophy and couldn't be bothered to agree with his definitions look up terms, the conversation was over.

Which is fine- his page, his story, etc. his choice.
