So, my next story will be completely unoriginal! Yep, the whole thing. This one's a comedy piece, no science fiction elements this time, just hearty down-to-earth wacky Ponyville goodness. I want to try a little of everything as I get the hang of this fanfic writing thing. (Even a clopfic? Eh, we'll see!) It'll be shorter, I'm guessing more of the 5k-word range, and I'm planning to release it as a single item rather than sequentially like last time. I'm looking forward to it too, I'm

As the end of The LUNA Project draws closer, I've been thinking about what I'll want to write next. The LUNA Project has been a great starting point for me, in that it was an exercise in learning to stop worrying and love the Publish button. (Up until now, I've remained stuck fussing over early drafts of first chapters of things to the point that nothing ever makes it past the idea stage.) It's also been a very strange experience, as the entire universe basically came to me fully-formed, and

Er, a cold head. A colt in my head. A head cold, yes, so I haven't been feeling so well. Plus, perhaps related or perhaps not, this last chapter has been hiding from me just a little bit.

Still not getting the hang of long chapters. Shame, I always prefer them when I'm reading, but I'll just have to keep trying. I'm thinking

The first couple chapters of The LUNA Project came pretty fast. Chapter 4 is taking a while, simply because there's one stupid little thread in the tapestry that I just can't seem to get to line up right. I've got a short one of the "bonus material" chapters (a portion of an email inbox) already written out to post beside it. I could probably write Chapter 5 just fine. But I can't very well post any of it until Chapter 4 is ready. I'll get it out one way or another though, even if I have to

I'm posting a piece of work on the internet. This is pretty much the first time since school that I've shown anything - writing, music, or programming - to anyone but close family. The LUNA Project is something I whipped up the first chapter of just tonight on a sudden inspiration, and science fiction isn't really my thing, but damned if I didn't pass the two thousand word mark already. I've been wanting to put up some of the ideas that have been bouncing around in my head for longer, but I
