Tumbleweed


A guy. A guy who writes stories. Stories about ponies. (And sometimes robots).

Well, it was nice while it lasted. · 5:28pm Aug 26th, 2016

Some nihilist has clicked the 'dislike' button on Letters From an Irradiated Princess, sending it down to be ranked 523rd on the site. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Hubris, tragedy, etc. I suppose I am no longer best at pony.

(Still, I take entirely too much pleasure when my stories apparently are in the top 1% of fanfics on the site).

And now, time to go be productive on some other stuff! In theory.

HOLY SHIT · 4:44am Aug 26th, 2016

OH.

OH SHIT.

I AM BEST AT PONIES.

MY STORY IS RANKED 1st ON FIMFICTION.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.

I AM BEST AT PONIES.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A PUN.

I CAN'T TURN MY CAPS LOCK OFF ANYMORE.

HEY HASBRO I'VE GOT AN OPEN SCHEDULE IF YOU NEED SOME HELP. JUST SAYIN'.

I'm in the wrong line of business. · 3:21am Aug 24th, 2016


As in my random internet pokings, I just discovered that Amazon sells GI Joe fanfiction.

This is an actual thing.

The best part, honestly, is in the guidelines. There's the standard "Don't use real people, don't write porn, etc." And then, this:

"15. The character, Snake Eyes, shall never be depicted or described as a fan of the New York Yankees."

A request to my fans! (I have fans, yes?) · 2:06am Aug 22nd, 2016

So, this blog post is a lot less maudlin than my last one, woo!

Perfection? (Also a little self-indulgence) · 9:11pm Aug 18th, 2016


So in a little under a week, Letters from an Irradiated Princess has amassed 162 likes, and not a single dislike. (Though I imagine some contrarian will go downvote the story just as a matter of principle by now). This has driven it to become one of my post popular (or at least top ranking) stories, much to my surprise.

No shame. None. · 6:14pm Aug 12th, 2016

Last few days, I've been telling myself "I need to work on a new thing!" and then I ... didn't.

And so, while I was poking around here, eagerly looking to see if anyone new had commented on my stories (seriously, I'm a sucker for feedback), I saw Tired Old Man's Letters from an Irritated Princess pop up in the featured box.

Then I made a pun.

Best thing I have found today. · 6:06pm Aug 9th, 2016

I really wish I'd found this before I'd started writing BY THE BLACK AXE OF NIGHTMARE MOON!

Because the Manowar Lyrics Generator is entirely too entertaining.

I guess I'm a little bit of a hack. · 10:15pm Jul 31st, 2016

At least, I FEEL like a little bit of a hack.

As I was sitting around, fiddling around with some other stuff ... and finally, I decided 'screw it, I guess I'll write some more pony fic.' I've ... written a lot of pony fic, over the years.

This is not about ponies. · 3:40am Jun 22nd, 2016

Which means about seventy five percent of you are gonna scroll right by!

Regardless, I've been working on A YouTube Thing for the last couple of weeks-- of which, I just posted the latest ep, so ... well, enjoy my shameless plugging. Plus, y'know, you may learn some stuff, too!

One more thing! · 10:15pm Jun 16th, 2016

Oh, by the way, in a moment of weakness, I got on The Twitter.

Note: I'm probably not going to be talking much about pony stuff there. But it's got links to my rad (and still being established) YouTube channel, so that's a plus?
