Well, it's that time of year once again, so let me tell you a story.

A long time ago, two vast armies stood facing each other, each side defending themselves with trenches, barbed wire and machine guns the likes of which had never before been seen. The war between their two nations had been going on for several months now, and this would be the first Christmas on the front line. The war was supposed to be over by now. It was biting cold, and snow and frost lay on the ground.

Well, today is the Winter Solstice; the longest night of the year. As a slightly insane zealot of Princess Luna, I had to make a blog post about this. Where I am it is sadly overcast tonight, (stupid lack of weather pegasi ) but I do tend to spend any clear night I can stargazing. As I'm out in the sticks, there's no light pollution to contend with and I am steadily learning the many constellations in the sky. One of these days I'll invest in a good quality telescope.

Hello FiMfiction!

You might be mildly interested to know that my first fic 'My Family and Other Equestrians' had its one year anniversary yesterday. On this day last year, it had lest than 50 views and a mere handful of likes and comments. I hadn't even met Sidetrack back then.

Well, here we are once again. Nightmare Night, Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, whatever you wish to call it. I've never been one for all that trick or treating or dressing up; the fact that my nearest neighbour is more than a mile away and possesses a shotgun doesn't help matters. Still, I hope you all have a fun evening if you're heading out, enjoy the parties and whatnot. As for me, I'll be staying in for the night, maybe doing a spot of moon watching and honouring the princess whose holiday

I did not expect this, but at 12:21pm BST I appear to have entered the featured box. I have no idea how or why this happened, and I sure a hay didn't expect it, particularly on my first ever fic! Hell, I didn't expect it to happen in forever. Now, I know the featured box isn't what it used to be, but still, I'm very, very happy now! Thank you to everyone who has favourited and liked 'My Family and Other Equestrians' and thanks again to Sidetrack for proofreading for me, rcmero for creating the

Well, I've been back from my first ever convention for a couple days now. The pony high has faded and I can create coherent thoughts again. So, let's see what happened.

Well, GeodesicDragon and Greatodyer are at it again so:

1. Are you male or female? Male.

2. In all honesty, what kind of pony would you be? A part of me demands I be an Earth pony, since I cannot fly or use magic. But since I'd miss my hands, I'd prefer to be a unicorn

3. What would your cutie mark be? Since I've yet to find my special talent, I guess I'd be a blank flank. It'll turn up one day though.

Well, my pokey little fanfiction has been going for over fifty chapters now. And for every chapter I write, I question myself; am I writing a Stu? When I began 'My Family and Other Equestrians' I knew I would have to take care to avoid making a character a Stu, it is a lot easier than it first appears. That is why that whole nightmare sequence exists, if you remember that far back. So, I thought I'd examine Blade Star (the character, not me) and see whether or not I am on a slippery slope. In a

On this day one hundred years ago, my country found itself at war. All across Europe, nations took up arms against each other as alliances dragged nation after nation into the fray. Unlike previous conflicts though, this war was not greeted with fear. Instead, it carried the sense of a grand adventure, with all the excitement of a big football match. In a wave of patriotism, hundreds joined up to serve King and Country, along with their friends and colleagues. Friends from the pub joined
