The third chapter of 27 Ounces is up. I was kind of worried about it, but in the end I think I am satisfied. I wish I could be like the character, Caprice. Either form, actually, human or pony.

That's the problem, maybe, with writing about cool characters...realizing that no matter what I do, I can never be like them. Kind of sad, really.

At long last, after eleven chapters, Teacup is done. Almost 40K words. Wow!

I am very satisfied with this final part of my four-part 'Lost In The Herd' series. I feel good about this one.

Writing a story that exists as a sub-genre of an obscure genre of fanfiction is probably the next lowest rung of writing, just above shopping lists and notes on napkins, but damn... I had just tons and tons of fun.

And I've got more stories in me, nagging at me to keep writing.

This story is clearly going to be my longest one, because it seems to want to go that way. Alright, I can do that, or try to. It's always good, so I hear, to listen to your stories, and let them guide you as to how you should write them.

I've been listening too, to the comments that others have made, and I have made some changes in my story to reflect what I have learned from those following along.

My fourth and final Conversion Bureau story is underway "Teacup, Down On The Farm".

I was unsure of what my final story would be, until I asked at Ponychan what they felt the most tasty part of a Conversion Bureau story was.

My third Conversion Bureau story was just submitted, it is called 'The Conversion Bureau: Letters From Home". This time I am trying something less dark, more clever, and hopefully, more fun.

yay!

I added a picture of Alyssa/Petal Confetti to the end of the fifth chapter of Euphrosyne Unchained. It looks like this:

Euprhosyne, in case anyone wondered, was the ancient Greek Grace of laughter and joy. Pinkie Pie, really.

It's done. My second story in my own take on The Conversion Bureau cosmos.

I had such great joy, writing it.

I had a moment of unhappy last night, mostly centered around the issue of popularity. Everyone wants to be popular, successful by some metric or another, or so it seems, and I have been no different in my life.

I'm trying to change that.

Now that I have done rude boys, I felt compelled to do a Conversion Bureau story about polite women!

Or, to be less flippant, I want to explore a different aspect of such change, the situation not of people afraid of becoming different inside and out when they give up their humanity, but rather of a person who is worried that they won't be able to give up enough.

The filp side of the same basic issue: identity in form, and also in mind.

I am very nervous, having just submitted not only my first story for FimFiction.net, but what is also my very first fanfic ever. While I have written and co-written many things in the past, including two unsuccessful novels (http://www.pasteldefender.com/ishtarmain.html and http://jenniverse.com/urbanmain.html), never before have I dared tread on the universes made by others. Here I am stomping all over two at once: the Friendship Is Magic cosmos, and the Conversion Bureau fan cosmos spun
