Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

Headcanon: 50 Questions · 6:00am Apr 12th, 2014

Bookplayer has a set of fifty questions with which to think about your headcanon. I thought it would be fun to answer them. A lot of the answers here derive from my stories.

The Princesses:

1. How old are Celestia and Luna?

Decisions, decisions · 3:53am Apr 8th, 2014

Do I do my taxes? Or do I write ponies?

Screw the 1040. Let's finish this latest chapter instead.

Name the day · 11:51pm Feb 22nd, 2014

Imagine this: the Cutie Mark Crusaders drink espresso. A lot of espresso. After Ponyville rebuilds, the citizens will forever refer to that day as _______.

Fill in the blank!

Rarity Takes Manehattan · 9:24pm Jan 6th, 2014

So the latest episode ends with Rarity receiving a spool of fabulous thread, shimmering rainbow-colored thread.

It could be coincidence. Or it could be a call back to the end of Season 3, when Rarity possessed Rainbow Dash's cutie mark.

Finally, there could be another explanation for this thread. I was inspired to create a short one-shot: Rainbow Thread.

Another story · 8:37pm Dec 27th, 2013

And another story with clop. A Royal Pain is now published, starring everypony's favorite royal pain, Prince Blueblood. It's planned to be a longer story, of indeterminate length, with not every chapter including clop scenes.

I'm trying something different and requesting audience participation. If there's something you want to see happen to Prince Blueblood over the course of the story, post a comment in the story!

Scootaloo has a home! · 7:12pm Dec 14th, 2013

It looks like a small home, and it's on the ground.

The only thing missing from the most recent episode is a glimpse of a horde of little brothers. :scootangel:

No, I didn't start writing faster · 10:11pm Nov 18th, 2013

I wrote most of my latest story in July, between chapters of Clean Slate. As I neared the end of the story, I saw that it simply escalated too quickly, so I set it aside. Coming back to it, I added another lesson that made Twilight Sparkle's ultimate solution make a little more sense. (As much sense as can be allowed in a comedic story, of course.)

Rarity's fainting couch and Pinkie Pie's party cannon · 9:17pm Nov 13th, 2013

Rarity is always prepared, with a couch available if she feels the need to faint. And Pinkie Pie has immediate access to a party cannon and a whole lot more. This calls back to a grand cartoon tradition of being able to pull items out of nowhere.

But what happens when that no longer works?

That's the premise of my next one-shot story, Hammerspace.

New Story · 12:21am Oct 24th, 2013

And it's another one-shot clopfic, involving an older Pumpkin Cake and the son of Rainbow Dash and Soarin'. Click here for the sticky story.

In my list of unpublished story ideas, there's another clopfic in the works. Right now, though, I'm not sure what story idea I'm going to write next.

Name that cartoon! · 1:20am Sep 27th, 2013

Picture a cartoon series. It's primarily designed to sell dolls to girls, but the series developer, a woman who previously worked on cartoon series more aimed at boys, decides to increase the appeal of the series, adding more action than was typically seen in girls' cartoons. And the cartoon features a lot of original music.
