Story Updates
I want this thing like Gollum wants the Ring. Like the silly rabbit wants a goddamn bowl of Trix. Hell, I'll say it: I want it like Ditzy Doo wants muffins.
I've mentioned in the past an assortment of plot bunnies currently gnawing at me on the RPGnet pony threads, and I felt like trying to collect them all here, just so people have some idea of what I've got in the pipe. I of course can make no promises regarding when I'll get these done, but I'm having loads of fun writing these stories, even when they drift towards darker themes (like Kraken), and I want to tackle all of them eventually:
A Fanfiction.net user by the name of wanderingpoetoftruth has plagiarized my story, "Ditzy Doo's Dismally Derpy Day".
I have already submitted a formal copyright notice, but I need to vent for a moment.
. . .
What the HELL, man?!
I wanted to write something about this for a while, and I know some people have been waiting for me to comment because of how much my fiction has shaped their view of Derpy/Ditzy as a character. I shared my thoughts as they came in the various pony threads on RPGnet, but I never made a single, thought-out post here, mostly because of a combination of a busy semester at college and a pretty horrible cold. By the time I felt coherent enough to tackle it, the internet seemed to have passed it by.
Based on a suggestion in the comments on my last post, I've adopted a new avatar. I likes it. Thanks for letting me know about it.
In other news, I've finally found a pic to go with The Stars, the Seal, and the Kraken. Also, with that image attached, I've submitted it to EqD. We'll see if it gets through (hooves crossed).
So the ponytar I've got right now thanks to the flash pony creator is alright, and it does have a certain "me as a pony" quality. But everybody and their dog has ponytars here (no surprise) and the hat looks more like a beret than the greek fisherman style hat I actually wear. So I'm considering other options.
Here's two pics of Derek Jacobi as Emperor Claudius (my online namesake) from the BBC production of "I, Claudius":

So, I be new here, but I be not new to pony fic. I've had two short stories posted on Equestria Daily so far (here's a link to my author tag), and I'm working on a much bigger one right now. I've been using Google Docs, but my fellow bronies on the RPGnet forums have made a good case for using this site, so I'm gonna repost my existing stuff here and see how I like it.
