Call for pre-readers · 11:27pm Dec 9th, 2013

Who would be interested in being a pre-reader for my next fic? This is the fic I wrote during Nanowrimo, and though I'm still revising it, it's sitting at 52,000 words at the moment. Once I've made the revisions I plan to, I'll email it out to you.

Season 4 premiere reaction · 12:15am Nov 24th, 2013

I enjoyed it! It was fairly suspenseful, it had some laugh-out-loud moments, a pretty epic sequence a lot of us have longed to see, and a surprise that really threw me for a loop.

I was also happy that Applejack took quite an active role, and I wonder if this is a sign she'll play a significant part in the upcoming season, perhaps even becoming second in command under Twilight. It wouldn't shock me to see her and Dash butting heads over the role in an episode.

What's to come · 4:10am Nov 8th, 2013

This month is nanowrimo, and I'm pausing work on The Apple Falls Hard to work on a new fic, attempting to hit 50k words before month's end.

It's Applejack-centric, it's general audience this time, and it's a tear-jerker. I hope many of you who are enjoying my current work will give my second fic a try when I post it. Unlike Apple Falls Hard, I won't be posting it in installments. I'll post it all at once so no one lynches me for leaving them hanging. Pun not intended...

Princess Luna cutie-mark duvet cover, with tutorial · 12:17pm Oct 16th, 2013

I spent last weekend working on this, http://t.co/nnFJ4jKzsv

You can adapt the technique to stencil anything you like onto your bedding. As long as you use quality paint, take your time, and follow the directions, you should wind up with something you can be proud of! If you simply can't create a clean-looking stencil, ask someone with a steadier hand to draw one for you.

Update · 3:51am Sep 25th, 2013

I have two partially-completed chapters in the works. One of them needs some steamy title-character fun before I call it done, and the next needs some closure and polish. When I finish and post those, I'll get to work on the finale, and pull this train into the station. Thank you for your patience, and I hope I haven't lost many of you while I struggle to finish this properly.

Progress · 1:28am Jul 26th, 2013

Hi readers,

Just to reassure you, work is ongoing on the next chapter of The Apple Does, though progress has been rather slow thanks to some real-life nonsense.

After finishing up this tale, I have a solid outline in place for another Applejack story, this one a non-clop tale involving AJ handling the impending failure of Sweet Apple Acres as a business. I hope many of you will give it a try when I start posting chapters.

Fics I'd recommend · 3:02am Jul 11th, 2013

I haven't been on FiMFiction all that long yet, but I've been guided to, and found some lovely work in that time.

Voting system abuse · 2:56pm Jun 23rd, 2013

It's disappointing to see down-votes continue to accumulate on my newly-minted story. With no accompanying negative comments to show why the neigh-sayers feel the story deserved a thumbs-down, I feel pretty safe in saying they're down-voting the story for the fetishes within, not its execution, my skill in portraying our beloved characters, or any of the criteria a story ought to be judged by. I welcome honest useful criticism, even if it doesn't exactly fill me with sunshine, because I
