Hello, dearest reader.

When I left you last, I entered a fanfiction contest, the first time I'd ever tried such a thing. To me surprise and delight, I did quite well. Lovely!

But before I start laurel sitting and letting my writing muscles atrophy again*, I've moved on to the beginnings of my next project. For once it's not sad! ...Probably!

Hello, Dear Reader.

Observe: I wrote a thing!
It's about this tiny horse jerk and her tiny horse problems:

Yes, as I mused in my last journal entry, I indeed entered EQD's More Most Dangerous Game Contest.

Hello, dearest readers!

It's been a while, hadn't it? I hope your holidays and winter breaks went well.
I came across a lovely holiday present while googling myself traversing the wilds of the interwebs: Last Human fanart!

I think it was inevitable I'd eventually write additional material for The Last Human. Well before the midpoint of the story, I realized my worldbuilding had gotten out of my control and the story was outgrowing its Last Unicorn framework. There are many side stories that I'd be remiss not to tell somewhere at some point. I expected to write it, though I didn't think I'd write it so soon. Stories take place before, during, and after Last Human.

Answers to the questions I got last week. You're still welcome to ask more in the comment section here, if you like.

Be forewarned, fair reader: here there be mild spoilers Nothing in this post spoils the fic, though some may spoil the book the fic is based on, The Last Unicorn.

The K Man asks

Was there anything particularly difficult when build the story lore? (G1 to now, pony's human myths, etc.)

Not really, no.

When I saw the synopsis for “Bats!” I was really excited. FiM tends to handle real world conflict fairly well. I also like to see friends in conflict over personal views when they clash, and we rarely see Fluttershy and Applejack together. Compromise and reasonable discourse about environmentalism! Character stuff! Hooray!
Shame that’s not what happened.

What’s frustrating is all of this could have had a much simpler resolution
Uh, guys? Relocate the bats.

So, I got an early Christmas present a couple weeks ago: A TV Tropes page! I found it while googling myself because I needed to reread past chapters to make sure I didn't make a continuity error and I almost screeched like a velociraptor in the library. Out of all my presents thus far, it's absolutely the best one. (Though the dictionary of idiom origins comes really close) So, thank you mysterious

(Is the option to have a blog specifically for certain fics not allowed anymore? Super lame.)

It's officially a month past my last update, so I figure I owe a heads up.

So, we're officially halfway through The Last Human. Probably a little more than that, but I'm awful at predicting how long a story will end up being. I never planned on this little story being longer than 50k words, but it sort of got out of control, took on a bigger life than expected and thank goodness for that.
