Almost a goddamn decade as a matter of fact.

But anyway, a short summary:

• I fell away from the FIM fandom around the end of season two. Just, life getting in the way as it tends to do.

A year.

A whole damn year.

Well, you wait no longer.

The finger is out, the document is open, the wine is in the glass.

The next instalment of 'The Sweetest Cider' will be coming soon. Even if it kills me.

Watch this space.

In the repeated words of Ted Mosby in an episode of HIMYM, I'm back babydoll,

I apologise profusely for my long, long delay, but it's been a weird sort of summer. Most specifically that I have crashed out of university and shall soon be moving out for the first time - 100 miles away with my beloved showing the magnitude of my change.

Some of you readers may have noticed that the chapter publish dates for many chapters have suddenly shifted to 3rd July.

Reason is I've been tweaking them - mainly formatting (as requested by some) but also a few parts of certain chapters have been altered (though nothing too major) - in preparation for another crack at EqD.

This is where I need some of your help.

As you may have noticed, I have changed my name on here. Mainly it's so I could change a few details on the account without it preventing me from doing so and generally annoying me. The name does have a few meanings though.

The wordsmith part is because I happen to write on here (though you'd have to be criminally oblivious not to have noticed).
The B is for 'Bacchus', because I like to have the occasional drink whilst I write and I'm a generally jolly character.

If you'd have told me in September that I'd grow to love a show about brightly coloured ponies, I'd have laughed.

If you'd have told me in September that I'd grow to love a show about brightly coloured ponies to the extent that I'd write a 37000 word (and counting) shipfic about them, I'd have called you mental through tears of hilarity.

Finally...

Finally...

I have an opening to Chapter Fourteen of 'The Sweetest Cider' that I can actually live with pegged down.

It's only taken me a few weeks or so, but now's the first time I've actually felt like I could be arsed trying to come up with something half-decent, Revision for the impending doom of end-of-year exams didn't exactly help that cause either...

I promise it shan't take another fortnight to get it up for your delectation.

Evening all.

I'm back from a little holiday where it snowed heavily in April, I was deprived of internet and had the unnerving ordeal of meeting my girlfriend's father for the first time. If that doesn't sound appealing, I have misled you because it was actually a great laugh,

More importantly I'm raring to write again.

I forgot that the clocks go forward today.

So instead of it being the (barely) more reasonable 3:20am, it is now 4:20am. Good time if you enjoy a spot of the green, but not if you intend to start writing a new chapter of your fic.

So as I mentioned previously, I managed to get a ticket for the Scottish League Cup final between Celtic and Kilmarnock yesterday ('tis Monday now). Needless to say my first experience of a cup final at Hampden was a rotten one and Celtic somehow conspired to lose - throwing away the chance to win a rare treble. Naturally this filled me with a sense of ennui and left me feeling somewhere between 'meh' and down.

Thankfully I had yet to watch yesterday's episode.
