You've read Reading Rainbow, right? It's one of my favorite favorites. In fact, it's the sixth story I added to my top tier bookshelf back when bookshelves first became a thing. Corejo is attempting to get a fully illustrated hardcopy of the poem within the story printed, and I really

Overall, BABSCon 2016 was a blast. Going to an event like a con requires careful orchestration when you have kids in tow.

For those of you here for story updates only:
- I just finished an 18k behemoth that’s unlike any ponyfic I’ve posted thus far. It’s in an editor’s hands now, and hopefully will be in yours by next month. I make no promises on the timetable, but I hope you like the result.
- Next up is some final edits on a 100k non-pony behemoth.
