Sunset Shipping Contests: Endings · 5:11am Aug 1st, 2019

Heya folks! Remember that time, two years ago, when I ran a Sunset Shipping Contest that received about 54 entries?

Remember that time last year, when I did another Sunset Shipping Contest that received a whopping 66 entries, and was one of the biggest contests in the sites history? (At the time, anyway.)

Bronycon and vague life updates · 2:39pm Jun 24th, 2019

I'm going to be at Bronycon this year.

Won't be on any panels though.

Don't have a book in the bookstore, because Fractured Sunlight is already available as a hardcover online and I kind of figure anyone who wants it already has it.

Mostly there to hang out with friends, and meet cool new people. So if you happen to catch me there, feel free to say hi.

NaNoWriMo Victory · 7:39pm Nov 29th, 2018

One day ahead of schedule, I have managed to write over 50,000 words in the month of November.

It's a hell of an achievement, and congratulations to any other authors out there who pulled it off. I found it a lot easier to get through this year than I did last time.

More importantly than just sheer word count, however,

The first draft of Voyagers is finally complete

Inspiration and Flattery · 2:14am Oct 2nd, 2018

The talented MagnetBolt just published a story that is a little inspired by the basic premise of Fractured Sunlight.

It's also hilarious.

You should check it out.

Contest submission is now closed · 5:34am Sep 10th, 2018

66 entries. Jesus. You people are insane.

Also insane enough to post at the literal last minute, get everything stuck in the posting queue for the site and make me stay up late.

Whatever. I'm looking forward to all of this. There's over 450k worth of words here to read. I'm pretty sure by story count and by prize money, this is easily the biggest contest in Fimfiction history.

Reminder that deadline tonight is midnight, Central Daylight Time

I've still got like, 2 scenes to write in my own, vanity contest entry. I can beat my own deadline, I swear.

If you're a first time author and have to submit your story through the approval queue, as long as it's submitted before the deadline than it'll still count, regardless of when it makes it onto the site. I've got friends on the mod team who can check.

This is it, folks, final weekend to get your stories in. I hope you made good use of the extra time, because there won't be any more after this.

I'm really excited to finally start reading all these wonderful stories, and so are the rest of the judges.

To your great joy and I'm sure annoyance that I didn't do this sooner, I've decided to channel my inner Rarity and will be generously extending the contest deadline.

The new deadline is:
