Engineered, to a degree! · 4:53pm Jul 8th, 2014

Hi again, everyone!

University for me is finally over! I graduated Friday before last from the University of Cambridge with a Master's in Manufacturing Engineering, and wow, was that ever an experience. Kind of hard to believe that I was fretting over my first year exams when I joined this fandom! Now to find a job...

Powers of estimation: slightly off · 11:43pm Jun 2nd, 2014

Gah. I say I'll get the next chapter of Equine Revolution out in the month of May, and end up three days late. Still, it's out! Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Also, I notice that I've hit 100,000 words as of this chapter. Even spread over 2 years, I'm still a little taken aback that it's grown to this size! Here's to keeping it going, and a big thank you to everyone who's been reading so far!

Breaking Radio Silence! · 10:43pm Apr 30th, 2014

Sorry for my rather erratic activity on the site these past few weeks—comments not being replied to, story chapters falling later than usual, and so on. My last ever set of university exams was last week, so there was a flurry of revision for those, and this weekend past, I was settling down into the grim and desolate very lovely and picturesque North of England for the industrial project I'm now doing.

New Story! · 8:02pm Jan 13th, 2014

OK, I've finally released my new story, Vee for Vendetta! I've been picking at this idea on and off for about a year, so it's great to finally get it out into the open. Give it a read here.

Jump in, and see what happens when a neurotic civil servant tries to boss around Ponyville: the town that's already seen off Nightmare Moon, Discord and Alicorn Amulet-ed Trixie. All I can say is, things are not gonna stay civil for long...

150 Followers! · 3:40pm Oct 5th, 2013

So, I ended up out in the sticks just after posting Chapter 8 of Equine Revolution on Monday, with nary a megabit-per-second to my name. On returning, I found that I'd hit the 150 follower milestone!

It's really awesome to have so many people following me for my writing, so thank you very much to everyone who follows me! I've got big plans for a couple of upcoming stories, plus the next chapters of Equine Revolution, so stay tuned!

A bit of art · 4:12am May 21st, 2013

So a commission I ordered a while back has come in from Inkwell, who drew me this awesome rendition of Bon Bon from Equine Revolution, in the classic Human Revolution style of having broken glass flying everywhere:

And there we have it. I think this might be the first drawing of Bon Bon from the story, so enjoy!

So this happened · 2:04am May 19th, 2013

Right, Chapter 7 of More Than She Could Dream Of has been completed and sent off to my pre-reader, and hopefully should be released within the week. However, I was skimming through the comments on the story, and chanced upon this gem from Mechagodzilla128:

"In her mind’s eye, she’d already planned out what the table settings would be for the following night.
It was going to be perfect."

A Fistful of Updates · 4:31pm Apr 11th, 2013

Right, I realise I've neglected this blog feature something fierce, and now is probably as good a time as any to give you all an update.

More Than She Could Dream Of has been (at long last) approved for posting on Equestria Daily, so I should be free to post Chapter 3 of that in the next couple of days. Octane and I have been hard at work in the meanwhile, so the next chapters should come at a bit of a faster pace now I'm not waiting for the pre-readers to finish reviewing.

Well, that went quick! · 12:40am May 10th, 2012

So I realise I haven't written one of these blog-type things on my profile yet, and what better way to start than exactly a year after watching the first episode of the show? And what a year it's been. I don't think I've ever truly invested myself in a fandom like this one, and it's been worth every second of reading fanfics, listening to all the wonderful remixes and original music, looking up artwork, and of course, watching the show. Am I ever glad I decided to click on that link to
