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).

Just so y'all know... · 3:30am Nov 25th, 2013

...I think my Discord-as-Q series has been rendered AU, but I don't care.

You wouldn't think this would be the case... · 9:09pm Nov 22nd, 2013

It is actually much easier to choreograph a sex scene between two alien blobs of energy than it is to do so between two physical non-human beings, especially if they're of different species and one's significantly larger than the other, to the degree that they're actually on a different physical scale.

Oh, well, I wanted a new challenge.

Break all the tropes · 8:03pm Nov 17th, 2013

I hadn't actually planned to get into this as a fandom per se. My initial reason for getting into My Little Pony at all was that Q being Discord was just such a perfect fit for my Q head canon, where he runs around the universe doing obnoxious things to various species, usually (although not always) with the blessing of the Continuum. But then I started mainlining fanfic featuring Discord, and as generally happens to me when I start seeing repeating tropes, I start thinking of ways to

The stories are eating my brain · 6:21pm Nov 8th, 2013

I am not physically capable of writing fast enough. If I didn't have a job and kids and a house to keep in order I still don't think I'd be capable of writing physically fast enough. This is what happens when you're a writer and you barely get to write for two years. (Wonder if this happens to ponies when they are deprived of the ability to do whatever it is their cutie mark is about for too long, and then they get it back.)

Why I think Discord is Q · 5:37pm Nov 3rd, 2013

Everyone makes jokes about Discord being Q, but most fanfic writers don't actually go with it. I've also seen arguments made that they cannot be the same character, for various reasons. So I wanted to explain why I believe most of these reasons aren't particularly good, and why I see the characters as the same being in different contexts.

Why the avatar of my personality gets cast as the bad guy · 3:51am Nov 2nd, 2013

So I am writing, simultaneously, a bunch of stories about Discord, a lot of them centering around what happened post-reformation. Which means they will all likely get totally jossed next season, but I don't really care. Spent too many years writing Magneto as Erik Lehnsherr to be troubled when my fics suddenly go AU. My Discord is Q for a lot of reasons I'm not going to go into in this post, but suffice it to say, there's a pro novel about Q being taught how to taunt and torment lesser species
