STATUS UPDATE · 4:17am Jul 25th, 2017

SO.

For starters, The Prisoner of Zebra has been featured at the Royal Canterlot Library. Woo! As apparently, even (especially?) when I delve into the most obscure kinds of stuff I can think of, I am best at ponies.

GO READ SOME THINGS. · 3:34am Jun 27th, 2017

SO.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that at least SOME of you read stuff that isn't silly pony fanfic. Or, well, blasphemous an idea as it may be, you should read something that isn't silly pony fanfic.

And so, I have taken it upon myself to set that shit right, with a couple of random-ass book recommendations. It should be noted ahead of time that my taste is impeccable. In any case, check this out!

Uh. · 12:43pm Jun 22nd, 2017

I understand that FiMfiction needs ads to keep itself running.

But, uh. 'Positivity Furry/Pony Transformation Hypnosis?' What?

I believe this is one of those cases where I "don't even," as the saying goes.

Anyway, stay tuned. I'm hoping to wrap up Carrot and Stick in the next few days.

... it takes a somewhat more literal meaning when ponies are involved, doesn't it?

Anyway, if you haven't noticed, I've been somewhat incommunicado lately. Just been busy with various RL stuffs on my end, plus the occasional (and perhaps somewhat futile) attempts at writing 'original' fiction-- at least, when I get the chance to write at all.

But!

Neat Vox Article on fanfic! · 3:15pm May 7th, 2017

Why we're terrified of fanfiction.

Pretty interesting stuff, bringing up a lot of key points about fanfic in general. Though I kinda wonder how it relates to a primarily male fanfic scene like Pony. Which in turn makes me wonder if there are any other primarily male fandoms/fanfic authors/etc.

And in turn this makes me wonder where weirdo fetish troll fic like "Cupcakes" fits in.

So I've been in another of those whiny writer ruts for the last week or so. Thus, in lieu of actual content, check out some folks reading some of my fics. Like, this is almost becoming a 'Thing.' How did that happen?

I honestly think this one works best as an audiobook since it's short and all from Celestia's perspective anyway.

So, I've hit the featured box again! Kind of. Sort of.

See, I got shanghaied into the current Sunset Sliders thingamajig-- basically a writing contest/exercise in which a bunch of authors passed the story along 1500 words at a time. I wrote chapter 3, which ... honestly isn't very SunLight-y, but I still managed to work in some fun little gags, given what I had to work with.
