200 Followers! · 2:35pm Jun 28th, 2015

Okay, 203, but whatever. Anywho, thank you all very much for the follow. Awhile back, I thought I'd be content with a hundred followers by my one year anniversary here, but now...

I doubt many of you will actually read this post (as announcing your follower count is kinda silly unless you're the one counting), but in any case, I'll ask a few questions:

A Couple of Questions... · 4:50pm May 22nd, 2015

The completion of "Sombra the Highly Unmotivated" marks the third long story I've finished for this site. Usually, I have a good idea of what I'd like to do next, but at the moment, I'm debating on what to work on. So that means I'll be pitching a few ideas to you. The second question is whether or not a type of continuation for "Unmotivated" sometime down the line would be of any interest.

Okay, 102, but I'm slow at things. Still, I am very, very blown away that I got this far. So thank each and every one of you for giving me a chance. I know my writing can be a little off-putting at times, but I hope enough of it makes the grade.

And even though I'm pretty sure most people are here because of my Sombra comedies, I'll go ahead and play naive anyway and say it was all do to "Jeff the Brave". Yep. That one sure was a winner. :rainbowlaugh:

Deleting Stories? · 4:27pm Mar 4th, 2015

Over the past few months I've fallen out of love with a couple of my stories. I've even made them their own section on my page called, "Stories that could have been a lot better."

I'm thinking of deleting them and I highly doubt they'd be missed. My only hesitation is whether or not this is a common practice on this site, or if users are supposed to stand next to their work--all of their work, no matter if it didn't turn out so well.

The Trouble With Writing Long · 11:20pm Feb 1st, 2015

Okay, maybe the better title would have been "My Trouble With Writing Long," but whatever, it's too late to go back now.

I have written two long stories for this site, and for the most part concentrated solely on just those stories while writing them. This isn't because I have nothing better to work on, only because I worry if I start something new, I'd lose that certain tone or voice I had been holding onto for so long. (And sometimes I still do.)

When Does A Story Earn A Dislike? · 7:17pm Nov 16th, 2014

Hello again. Let's ramble for a bit because I feel like it.

While on this site I've read dozens of stories and have given around 15-20 percent of what I've read a thumbs up, and sometimes a fav. If it has a good scenario, dialogue, grammar, makes me chuckle or makes me extremely jealous of its cleverness (which is undoubtably my biggest sin: envy), it will earn my 'like'.

But when does something deserve a 'dislike' from you?

When Is Something Too Dark? · 1:27am Sep 28th, 2014

Hello there. No, I'm not dead. I'm just working on a longer project (about the length of a short novella) that I plan on finishing in its entirety before releasing in very rapid succession. Maybe.

Why I say "maybe" is because (especially today, writing the ending to the first draft) it just might be too damn dark for its own good.
