What should I read? · 8:53pm Feb 8th, 2017

As much fanfic as I write, I don't read much of it. So, I was wondering if that's something I should fix.

So! This is where you guys can point me at something that's ...

Good (easier said than done)

Short-ish (no epics on the level of Fallout: Equestria, thanks)

Funny (again, easier said than done)

Other bonuses include ships I approve of, kung fu fights, giant robots, or maybe (maybe!) a crossover with something rad. Basically I'm looking for fics kind of like my own.

This and That! · 4:36am Jan 25th, 2017

So, first thing, I just posted another chapter of The Prisoner of Zebra. This is where things are gonna really start going off the rails, so go check it out! The story hasn't gotten nearly as much attention as my other work, mostly 'cause it stars a background pony that nobody likes.

(I maintain Flash Sentry's not nearly as bad as Timber Spruce, but I digress).

First post of 2017! Plus, a story update! · 3:44am Jan 16th, 2017

Okay, first thing-- I just found out about the Equestria Girls tags a few days ago, so I took entirely too much pleasure in re-tagging my various stories ... and then, as a bonus, I clicked through to those tag 'pages' to find that my stories were some of the top rated in the new EQG categories, which obviously means I AM THE BEST AT EQUESTRIA GIRLS PONY STORIES.

(Well that, or most folks haven't clicked their stories to the new tags yet).

New Thing! (Also I am terrible at NaNoWriMo) · 2:20am Nov 17th, 2016

Sooooo, for about a week, I got hit with an acute case of "everything I do is terrible so why bother writing anything ever because I suck." Incidentally, this meant my NaNoWriMo project stalled out around 11k words, which is about standard.

BUT.

And it's back to pony. · 11:41pm Oct 25th, 2016

So ... yeah! Had a busy weekend, but things are winding down. Of course, one of the things about a busy weekend was that I didn't get any writing done, compounded with the fact that the original-work thing I'm working on is stalling, as expected, around the 10k word mark ... I think my biggest problem is that of structure, in that I have a couple of neat ideas for setting/action/etc, but linking them together is proving harder than I'd anticipated.

RANDOM THINGS · 4:11am Oct 19th, 2016

Sooooo. Yeah. I'm like, several pony episodes behind these days. I'm slipping, as the new week's episode isn't 'an event' like it used to be.

Admittedly, when I really started getting into 'teh pony' as a thing, I was living in South Korea, so English language entertainment was somewhat harder to come by. Also they have a Starcraft channel over there, but I digress. Really they should just make more Rarijack episodes 'cause I'll watch the hell out of those.

I drank a bottle of Shiraz and watched The Legend of Everfree · 1:55am Oct 4th, 2016

And, let me tell you, it was rad as shit.

Admittedly, most things I do are held to that level of radness, but still.

I know I am somewhat behind the curve, as I understand there were YouTubey leaks and such. However, I figured I'd watch pony legitimately for once, and so here we are. It's honestly kind of odd watching pony on an actual TV, as I've gotten used to watching it in YouTube windows, but eh, I'll deal.

New Fic! · 5:03pm Sep 3rd, 2016

So yeah.

I've been working on an ORIGINAL THING lately, so good on that. Honestly, it's a rough, rough draft that I'm mostly writing so as to stay in practice. There might be some good ideas in there worth salvaging once it's all done, though. I'm a little past the 10k mark, which is uuuuuusually when I start going "augh this is terrible why am I even trying?" But, well, I shall endure! Or something. It's not like I'm writing this blog post as a matter of procrastination. Nope. Cough.
