And So It Ends · 9:26pm May 10th, 2014

Season 4 is over, and man, what a finale that was. I'm not gonna say much, you know, because not everyone has seen it yet, but I thought it was great. The only problem I have with it is that the bit with the chest and the rainbow power at the end there happened really fast. It's no biggie, though. Do I even have to mention the battle? Seriously, that was awesome.

Totally Pointless and Narcissistic Blog Post · 7:19am May 5th, 2014

So, I've been sitting around on I Write Like, which supposedly analyzes your prose or whatever and tells you which famous writer it thinks you're most like. Naturally, I had to try as soon as I heard of it. I've been running all my stories here through it, and the results have been interesting. Below is what I got, in chronological order. Or, you could just skip to the bottom line for the general consensus. Or skip the whole thing, you know, whatever....

I Got Bored Again · 5:49am Apr 27th, 2014

I've never been an artist, but I do dabble in graphic work from time to time. I'm not that great, but I enjoy doing it. Usually, it's just cover art for my stories here, but sometimes I get bored and draw something else. This time, though, I didn't draw something totally weird when I got bored. I made this, instead:

I'm Not Pure Evil · 11:17pm Apr 21st, 2014

I'm diluted evil, thank you very much. To prove it, I have released an alternate ending for Flowers and Gauze. It's much less punch-you-in-the-gut-and-steal-your-feels. Of course, it won't be canon if I ever do decide to write a sequel or side stories. And yes, I am working on Pigpen's Big Date. I'm just having a bit of trouble finding a direction for it.

That's really all I had to say.

Number Twenty · 7:56pm Apr 19th, 2014

In a previous blog post, I mentioned that I was working on a story about a Sunset Shimmer redemption arc in an alternate ending/extension of Equestria Girls. My latest story is not that, though it's connected. It's partly a practice piece, since I find Sunset a bit hard to write. It was originally going to be an entry for this contest some guy was hosting, but I wasn't sure if it was any good, so I put the story away and forgot about it. I found it again yesterday, read through it, smiled a

I Got Bored · 8:59pm Apr 11th, 2014

When I get bored, strange things often happen. Like this:

I kinda want to do something with this, but I don't really know what.

Corruption in Progress · 9:14pm Mar 30th, 2014

So, I have this older brother, and he was quite surprised to hear that I was a brony, though I had to explain to him what one was because he'd never heard of us or the show. Eventually, he learned that I write fanfiction. To my great surprise, he said he wanted to hear it. He's familiar with my original work, so he knows that I generally don't write things that suck. I've kept him up to date with everything I've published here, at his request, but he'd never seen the show. Until now.

Expectations and Story Ideas · 7:22pm Mar 25th, 2014

I need to stop planting the seeds of sequels, because I'm really bad at making them. Seriously, I've got very little written for any of the follow-ups I have in the works. Meanwhile, I've got a ton of other projects going. Every once in a while, I'll get some inspiration and write some more of one or another. Maybe I should look into collabs, or something. I'll get into future works in a bit. For now, I'm going to take a moment to talk about myself because I'm narcissistic.

Rejection and Revision · 9:59pm Mar 13th, 2014

So, Dark Spectrum: Public Enemy just got rejected by Equestria Daily. Far from being angry (or surprised), I actually agree with most of the problems they had with it. In fact, I recently read through it again and found myself cringing a few times at the writing. I've been meaning to make some revisions to the whole thing and perhaps even add an alternate ending chapter, and this has only reminded me of such. Although, I get the sense that the EQD reader didn't read past chapter 4 due to how

I Made It · 12:23am Mar 4th, 2014

Why do I always end up submitting stories to contests mere hours before the deadline? Probably because I put off doing the majority of the writing until the final day. But, again, I made it. I have an entry to the Everfree Northwest Pre-Con Writing Contest. No idea how well Trixie's Clubhouse will do, but hopefully better than my
