Current Fabulosity Level

Quotes

“This is a bizarre confluence of MLP and the Bible (and other mythologies) in a G1-scented wrapper. If I’m not mistaken, it’s also a deconstruction of the silliness of placing human societal constructs into the world of Equestria. And yet it still explores human religious thought. I just stand in slack-jawed amazement as the ponies refuse to rise to bait that would have ensnared the deepest human intellectual, and it all makes sense … the most amazing thing is Pinkie getting into a theological debate and not even knowing it.”
Present Perfect of RCL, regarding Appletheosis

"Just read your story. Very interesting, a little thought-provoking, and an ending that made me curse you for where it, well, ended. You terrible tease, you. I'm afraid I can't offer much in the way of advice or critical analysis in exchange for you giving me a good twenty minutes to blow off; my expertise lies in making bad into good, not great into excellent."
Ion-Sturm, regarding my story Erase and Rewind.

"Word-of-mouth doesn't work. Brilliant writing will not make you popular. (Case in point: DuncanR.) Get onto EqD or into the featured box if you want to be popular."
Bad Horse, name-dropping me during an interview for his story Mortality Report. Check it out!

"I'm not highlighting this review because it was slavish -- quite the opposite. Although DuncanR notes that he loved the story and recommends it, he spends the vast majority of the critique explaining what I did wrong. And believe me, there's a lot. That's the kind of critique authors need, regardless of what level they're at."
Cold in Gardez, mentioning my review of his "The Last Trumpet's Call"

Greetings and welcome. My name is Duncan Rose, and I am a writer. I didn't have much choice in the matter, really. For some people, writing is what they do. For me, it's what I am. I'd do it for free, forever, even if I knew my stories would never be read. I hope to be a professional novelist in the future, but for now I write whatever catches my fancy.

For the last year or so several years, MLP:FIM has had a firm grasp of my fancy. I've been a fan of it from the very beginning, long before it became a thing, and it's given me no shortage of ideas to explore. My skills have improved tremendously since I started, but there's always more to learn.

I've decided to maintain a proper user page because... well, because. I knew there was a good reason. Ah yes! So I could talk about writing and stories and whatnot without having to subject my readers to pointless and insufferable Author's Notes. I hate those things. So if you have questions about my stories or my writing habits, please feel free to comment here.
