You may recall one option of the latest Thought Dissection blog was a story entitled Full-Court Press, a post-"The Crystalling" press conference. horizon made a very good point about how it was a time-sensitive concept, so I started fleshing it out. I was applying some of the final coats of polish earlier today when I realized that, honestly, it's just not a very good idea.

I'm not entirely sure why I did this, but I felt it needed to be done. I blame the latest Magic set. Jace Beleren talks to books when he goes crazy. I apparently make YouTube readings of weird little PresentPerfect stories.

I wonder what I'm going to do when I run out of Die Hard sequels...

Eh, a problem for another day. For now, I've hit something of an inspirational logjam, and I'd appreciate a little help in determining where I should focus my efforts. Read on for what's on my numerous back burner and the opportunity to tell me which ones you want me to prioritize. New concepts have asterisks in front of them.

As you may have noticed thanks to the featured box's bizarre infatuation with the story, Sideboard of Harmony has updated. This one doesn't even much in the way of preliminary knowledge; Address Unknown is a unicorn OC, Dinky's father, and Ditzy's husband. He stopped existing for a while—long story, stamps are involved—but he got better.

Voting for ocalhoun's big contest has begun! The ballot is here. Go vote for whichever entries you read, and maybe read the ones you missed. The voting's open until the end of May, so you have plenty of time to catch up on what you missed.

Pretty much what it says in the title. I wouldn’t tell you guys something this personal, but this carries a number of consequences: Sideboard is finished, My Little Praetor won’t be coming back, no more blog title puns or Friendship is Card Games, et cetera.

Sorry, I just got tired of it. These things happen. Heck, I’m taking a long look at whether I really care that much about ponies anymore.

Oh, and one more thing.

This probably isn't news to those of you who watch television regularly, but I am not among your number. As such, allow me to provide context for my newly discovered indignation:

And so my quest begins anew. Let's get to it... after a few thoughts on the Season 5 finale, since I saw the tail end of it prior to the premiere.

Season 6 begins next week, and Friendship is Card Games will resume along with it. However, that leaves one last Sunday blog before then, and I promised it wouldn’t be Magic-related last week. However… well, I’m kind of low on ideas. So, time for that great fallback of the Internet: Ask Me Anything!
