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.

An alternate take on the events in Clean Slate · 3:42pm Sep 14th, 2013

If you haven't read the epilogue of Clean Slate, there are spoilers in this blog post.

After finishing the epilogue, I noticed how the events in the background of Clean Slate could be used in a different, darker story.

A new chapter is up! · 2:50am Aug 30th, 2013

Chapter 21 of Clean Slate is now published. I was planning two more chapters, the second chapter concluding the story, but today I had the idea for an epilogue chapter as well.

And as of this writing, this story is #11 on the Top Rated chart and has the highest number of upvotes without a downvote. Thanks, everypony!

(I recognize I may be jinxing myself by mentioning the rating.)

This story has been fun, but I'm eager to write one of the many other story ideas I have.

This is blasphemy! This is madness! · 5:05pm Aug 20th, 2013

Madness? This is 300 followers!

Thanks, The_Candlekeeper, and everypony else interested in following what I have to say here.

Looking for a name · 4:03pm Aug 9th, 2013

In Scootaloo's Family, Scootaloo's father is mentioned. He's an earth pony who works as an accountant for the railroad, and is about as interesting as that sounds.

I didn't name him. So what do you think would be a good name for this character?

Inspiration · 6:16pm Jul 18th, 2013

Just had an inspiration, a few weeks too late.

Now, if you believe that the pony equivalent of New York is called Manehattan, rather than that just being the name of the borough of Manhattan, it doesn't work as well. And that's what's suggested by the episode.

But wouldn't it be great to say that Babs Seed lives in the Broncs?

Anypony have this fear? · 3:21am Jul 7th, 2013

Say you're having a normal, mundane conversation with someone. And while you're talking, without noticing, you use a word like everypony or somepony.

Anyone afraid that might happen to them? Or worse, have you introduced ponyisms into your speech by accident?

Weightlifting · 4:52am Jun 12th, 2013

The subject of weightlifting is something I know almost nothing about. I've made some mention of working with weights in the course of physical therapy in Clean Slate, and there will be more weightlifting soon, this time including Apple Bloom. So I'll open the floor to some speculation.

1. What weight training exercises would work best with the pony form?
2. For those exercises, what would be a typical (adult male) amount of weight to lift?

Number 1, again · 4:21am May 22nd, 2013

It looks like somepony switched a down vote on Applejack's Bar to an up vote. (I seem to remember there being 21; now there's 20.) It's now back in the number one slot on the Top Rated list.

:yay:

New Scootaloo story! · 7:12am May 21st, 2013

I prefer stories where Scootaloo has a normal life, but I got an idea for a one-shot story involving Scootaloo with all the tropes (orphan, runaway, adopted by Rainbow Dash), so I wrote it.

It also got approved in a matter of minutes!

I can't believe I did it. · 7:07am May 2nd, 2013

I actually wrote and submitted a story with about 1800 words of clop. I have no idea how well it will go over. I would have preferred for my first clop story to not involve an original character, but given the actual plot, writing the story with an OC made the most sense.
