Into the Trash Pile We Go · 12:03am Sep 21st, 2023

This isn't a blog about my stories, but oh boy, is it a blog about something. So, Reader, let me ask you -- do you enjoy looking where the grass on this site ain't so green? I'm sure that every one of you has your favorite gaggle of pony stories on this site, the passion projects, the works worthy of the loftier label of literature. Maybe there is just a simple story that was honestly written and makes you happy. If you've been on this site for some time, you're bound to end up with stories

Back from the dead! Update talk! · 10:56pm Sep 15th, 2023

Just yesterday, I mentioned a story that I was planning to bring back from the dead. Thanks to a recent burst of productivity and a fast editor, I've been able to do just that. I always go into a story with the intent to finish it, and I'm pleased to bring back another canceled fic. It's a fully-outlined story that I haven't touched since 2017... until yesterday. While the outline for the story already exists (along with the old version of the prelude) in Missing Pages, there will be a

Marigold's adventures continue! · 3:52am Sep 15th, 2023

Enjoy a double update this month. Remember, there is a SFW version for those of you who don't want all the M-rated content! The next chapter will bring the first act to a close, which is when I'll open up ratings for upvotes/downvotes. And yes, you read that right. There are almost 40k words for just the first act. This story is big, and relatively easy to update, so give it a look.

It's update time! · 3:05am Sep 5th, 2023

I just dropped a pretty big update! Yes, it's on the story that like five people read. But I worked really hard on it! So, that's gotta count for something. The story is officially over 30k now, at least for the NSFW version. The next few chapters will be out even sooner. I've just been between editors lately, and this is a story that isn't easy to edit for. Act two will be starting in two more chapters, and I'm hoping that creating that much backlog will get people commenting more. This story

"So, Ice Star, do you ever plan on releasing other books?" · 3:28am Jul 26th, 2023

Yes! I have a shelf full of the stories that need work done to them. It's currently down to eleven stories and 610,931 words. Yeah, that's the hard part. The word count of some of the stories I'll be getting to is heavy. The amount of work some of them need is also excessive too. All of that is admittedly very frustrating, as everyone knows, I loathe the editing process and would much rather be adding to my backlog of content to release.

So I explained Onyx to my girlfriend [SPOILERS] · 2:57am Jul 18th, 2023

meme put together by my gf

"He doesn't have mommy issues or daddy issues, he has existence issues. [...] He has Schopenhauer levels of 'I hate the world because the world hates me' issues."

"He needs... severe help."

"He's got that Schopenhauer level of natural-born hater."

Revision done · 11:47pm Jun 23rd, 2023

Go read the new version! The chapters that are most changed are five, interlude four, and chapter ten. Now that all that effort is done, I can get back to actively writing it and fixing the other stories in need of TLC for print. Also, 100+ upvotes? How did that happen?

Help me find the worst stories on the site · 2:43am Jun 17th, 2023

My girlfriend isn't a pony fan. She doesn't hate ponies, they're just not her thing. However, she loves me sharing stories I've written with her and showing her the wider culture of the site, including other peoples' stories. This isn't a blog about the good fanfics I've shown her (I have yet to show her anything particularly long), it's about the bad stuff. I've made her read some of the most downright awful and nasty fanfics on the site. Even after a year and times when she's literally thrown

Revision Update · 12:49am Jun 5th, 2023

There are less than 40,000 words left to revise! Once that's done, I can finally move on, both by focusing on updates and the remaining stories in need of revision.
