Sweet Celestia I'm old.

What are your favourite LotR crossover fics here on fimfiction?
I still remember 'The White Rider', an amazingly written fic that sadly was never finished.

Anyway. :b

Must say I loved the movie, it gave a shitty week a wonderful end and I still have the fuzzies 20h later. That hasn't happened in a very, very long time. Watched it with my kids and other half, and we had a blast. Characters are great, the music is good to great and always fits, the jokes landed. References and also themes that will go over most kids' heads but are satisfying and often funny to the parents. Real family entertainment. Oh and lots of fanservice. Spoilers below.

...the one thing happened that made me write my first fimfiction story, Northland.

TThe Last Pony on Earth

• MLP: FiM
• Adventure
• Mystery

One day, Earth. The next, everyone is gone and I'm a pony. What the heck is going on?

• Human
• OC

Damn.

I got a a really nice comment on it today and now I feel both happy and sad.
At my current pace the next chapter of Northland should be out at about May 2025.

I think the new pones are ridiculously cute, and a smartphone (regardless of how it works - we're officially in the far future after all) with a hoof-indent for better, uhm, handling is peak adorable. That's got to be one of the next inventions in the Track-Switch verse, for mankind's ongoing quest to become more accommodating to ponykind.

I'm very much looking forward to this. Not because I expect a great movie, but because I expect to be entertained. Same as with the last movie.

So, yeah, I'm not dead.
I had a really, really shitty time that recently ended with me losing my job, which I hated.

Apparently that sudden freedom was what was needed to lift my writer's block and I wrote a new story, that may or may not be a one-shot.

So Cel, what are you talking about?

A while ago, Present Perfect asked about this:

Yes, I'm still alive (although Metal Author is more like, dunno, tin or something soft like that). Recent events have taken their roll on my psyche.

Right. As of 3 hours ago, Denmark is officially in lockdown and I'm being sent home for two weeks.

Our case numbers jumped from 35 on Monday to over 500 today. Schools, universities, etc. closed from tomorrow and bars and restaurants from next Monday. But damn am I happy the government is following their scientific advisers - maybe we'll not end up like Italy. Hopefully.

Because these are fun to write as well. Yay for nerding.

And we're finally back where the whole saga began, out on the tracks, bound for Frankfurt. About time, really.
Even the soundtrack from back then fits :)

First of all, here is the Gevrey-Chambertin hub that is our departure point this time:

Hi again.

I know that fanfic sites and artist blogs sometimes feel like competitions on who is worse off in terms of mental health... but yeah. I don't know where it suddenly came from, but I received a prolonged visit from my old friend the black dog. Which is a kinda good name for depression I learned once upon a time when I lived in Wales. Being bipolar is shit, even with medication. I wish the more 'high' phases would happen more often. Those are productive.
