It's Tour de France time! That magical month when I get up early every morning, even though I don't have to go to work. Thank goodness I don't live on the west coast; I don't think I could handle getting up at 5:00 AM (earlier, on mountain stages!) day after day without even the promise of a paycheck to reward me for it.

I just published two new-to-FiMFiction stories to my minific collection, Bantam Tales: one's a Carrot Top screenshot joke, and the other is a dark take on ancient Greek beliefs about the afterlife. So, something for everyone, probably.

I recently competed in the writeoff minific round, and you know what that means... I'll be publishing a new story soon! Or, I'll have a new chapter in my minific collection. Could be either-or, really; look for To Be Forgotten to show up later this week. I'll probably blog a little bit about it too, even if it's just a "by the way, it's here now, go read it" dealybob.

I was going to post this on Sunday... but I've been a busy lad all weekend. Blerg.

BUT! On the un-blergiest note possible (and if you're already a regular visitor to One Man's Pony Ramblings, you've already seen this, but it's worth looking at again): behold!

So, how's everyone's bracket doing after the first week? I, uh, might have had Louisville in the finals, so... yeah. Hey, at least I don't need to pay too much attention for the rest of the month!

Which, of course, means more time for review-reading! Head down below the break to see what I've been up to on my blog, One Man's Pony Ramblings, over the past few weeks.

Hope everyone's enjoying their Super Bowl Sunday! I'll be heading out for a watching party shortly--incidentally, I learned last year that you've gotta be careful which friends you watch the Super Bowl with. Don't want to hang with the crowd that talks over the whole game and then wants you to shush during the halftime show, of all things.

I'm back home now, and I suppose it's time to retire the santa hat for another year. Oh well; into storage it goes!

It's that time of year again! Go slap a Santa hat on your avatar, if you're the kind of person who thinks that's fun! If you're the kind of person who thinks that's sorta dumb, then feel free to not do that thing, though. I can relate; sometimes I think things are sorta dumb, too. But personally, I kind of like this tradition, and even if The Descendant's not around to pimp Santa hats, I'd be happy to see it keep being A Thing.

For your (future) consideration, I recently figured out what I need to do to improve a Hearth's Warming story I wrote last year enough to post it (or rather, how to accomplish the thing I already knew I needed to improve), so I'm going to start in on that soon. But not too soon, because pre-Thanksgiving is too early to be writing Christmas(-expy) fiction. Expect a new short, seasonal story from me sometime around the start of December!
