All-American Girl · 10:59pm May 8th, 2012

Yup, this is the secret project I've been working on for the past couple of months. The art took less time, but it was easier to write the story than draw.

OC Pony Cameo Contest Time! · 8:23pm Apr 21st, 2012

Okay, because I'm stumped, I'm having a contest. The person who I select gets their OC pony into the next chapter of The Black Ponies!

Rules:

1. No alicorns, obviously.
2. Looking for adults or at least teen "yearlings", not foals.
3. It's a small role, and not a glamorous one, so if you were expecting your OC to be Twilight's high school crush, not happening.
4. I may throw in some art as well as a gift, ^_^

Yay! More Talking Heads! · 6:41am Apr 21st, 2012

I actually had this chapter finished earlier in the week, but at the request of a pre-reader, I added a scene detailing the condition of Octavia/Blinky. Obviously she's still not in good shape, but said reader wanted to know if she lived or not, so.... For the record, the song DJ/Vinyl is singing is "Untitled" by the Cure.

Is it bad that... · 11:11pm Apr 11th, 2012

...I have so many characters that I have to now use a spreadsheet to track them? Well, it wouldn't be the first project I've had that's needed a series bible, so maybe I'll proffer it to everyone later. Might be interesting.

I Had a Dream, and Saw a Picture... · 12:03am Apr 2nd, 2012

Saw this the other day, and my mind has been afire. I'll be knocking something out over the next couple of days just to clear it from my mind, lest it drive my wife nuts any further. ^_^

Never Doing That Again · 11:27pm Mar 19th, 2012

Finished Chapter Five late last night and then I proceeded to ignore one of my biggest rules of writing: I put it straight up without giving it a day to sit so I could remove myself slightly from it and thus edit it better. I'm seeing all the mistakes now and it reads horribly. I'll go through and put up an improved copy this week as soon as possible. Sorry to all the readers and thanks to Squeaky Toy for catching the biggest mistake.

The Fourth Chapter, Which in Counting is the Fourth · 7:15pm Mar 16th, 2012

By now, those who have been paying attention probably have figured out what is going on with the war. The rest of you will have to simply wait until the next chapter.

Tha's What 't's All Aboot. · 3:04am Mar 14th, 2012

Thought I'd have a little fun with the third chapter. The biggest one was giving a voice to Pinkie's family members (aside from Blinky/Octavia). Looking at Mr. Pie (unofficial name "Clyde", for those keeping up with the Pac-Man motif), for some reason he reminded me of Mike Meyer's Scottsman imitations, which is why Mr. Pie originally hails from Inverneighs (Inverness, Scotland). But since I felt the Scottish accent was overdone, I decided to give him a Sommerset accent (from the
