Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

Plotting out a no-Discord-reform AU for reasons · 1:29am February 12th

This is an alternate history where Celestia did not choose to reform Discord.

Magical Mystery Cure happens on schedule. Plundervines don't. It was the additional chaos Discord was generating that caused them to pop up.

Without the Plundervines, the Tree of Harmony isn't so weakened that it feels the need to create the Box that creates the castle and the Cutie Map.

Not the Hero "The Recap Episode" is up · 6:01am Dec 28th, 2024

I'm still editing the actual chapter 27. It'll be up before New Year's.

This was written using a new technique and I'm very proud of myself for succeeding at it. See, I write by telling myself the story, subvocalizing, under my breath. Probably since I was like 6 or something. And in the 90's, when I had a brutal commute, I thought, wow, wouldn't it be great if I could use speech-to-text software to capture me telling myself the story?

re-reading Not the Hero · 8:19pm Sep 13th, 2024

Discord repeats himself a lot. This is probably due to the serial nature of my writing it -- by the time I'm writing Chapter Y, I've forgotten what I said in Chapter X, so I end up repeating it. I feel like it's not exactly out of character, given the nature of Discord and the style I'm writing in, though.

Dream log, epic Fluttercord edition · 6:00pm Dec 29th, 2023

Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.

Dammit, just discovered a friend here's been dead for two years... · 6:31pm Oct 24th, 2023

Today I learned that Jordan died in April 2021, and I had no idea. I was re-reading some of my older fanfics, saw his comments, thought, "Huh, I wonder how Jordan's doing", and the answer is, he's not. Dammit.
