Good News and Bad News. · 1:41pm Jan 8th, 2016

So! Good news first...

Good News:

I've started writing a new story! It's a little comedy thing about King Sombra and Pokemon. If that interests you, go ahead and check it out.

In other news, I'm going back to college, come February. I know that isn't anything to do with you guys, but, y'know, it still qualifies as good news, so...

New Chapter Imminent. · 5:36am Dec 13th, 2015

Hey folks.

Sorry there hasn't been an update in a while. I was aiming for a November release of the new chapter, but it kind of spun into... well, you'll see.

Anywho, expect to see the next chapter of A Man out of Place by 12:00 AM Monday morning, Eastern Standard Time at the latest. Earlier, depending on when my proofreader gets a chance to look it over.

When you compare the word count on this baby to the previous chapters, you'll see why it took longer than intended.

How NOT to shop for birthday presents... · 7:32pm Oct 28th, 2015

So, my mother's birthday is coming up, and I figured, "Hey, Barnes & Noble just sent me some holiday coupons, plus I've still got a few bucks left on a gift card, what the heck-- I'll get my mom some books!"

I found a nice card and a couple of books for my mom, including Murder on the Orient Express by the Queen of Mystery herself, Agatha Christie, but...

"Twilight Sparkle is afraid of quesadillas."

...Twilight Sparkle is afraid of quesadillas...?

Twilight Sparkle.

Is afraid.

Of quesadillas.

I... I must write a story about this.

100th Episode. · 5:41pm Jun 13th, 2015

BREAKING NEWS:

M. A. Larson spotted astride motorcycle, headed towards local aquarium.

Shark exhibit security heavily fortified in response.

* * *

So, that happened.

Few things I feel the need to say:

First off, the Bug-Bear. Completely appropriate the way it looks like a panda. The creative team knew what they were getting into, and they made sure we did as well.

Second; Such LyraBon. Many name drop. Wow.

And now, for some good news! · 1:34pm Apr 4th, 2015

Lost the Happy...

But the Happy's back!

SO! Things are looking up for me IRL, old boss came back, things are turning around, all that good stuff.

Still at kind of a roadblock with A Man out of Place, so don't expect an update there for a while, sorry.

Ugh. · 12:38am Mar 18th, 2015

I am not happy.

I'm not happy with how short the latest chapter of "A Man out of Place" is.

I'm not happy with the way my work hours have been all over the place.

I'm not happy with myself, for getting sucker-punched by writer's block.

I
am not
a happy camper.

Before I go further, let me say that I'm sorry for taking so long to put a new chapter up. Things got... complicated, on the other side of this screen.

A Man out of Place: Appendix (Update 12/19/15) · 3:55pm Feb 28th, 2015

Here, you'll find the side info that isn't entirely essential to the story; bits of world-building or fun-facts.

--To start, John "Jack" Chambers isn't my real name, and this isn't a self-insert. Jack is based off of me somewhat (write what you know, right?), but the name was just something I thought up.

I made a thing! And people like it! · 3:22pm Feb 28th, 2015

Holy crap! I mean, I know seventeen likes isn't much, but still.

I didn't know how anyone was going to react to A Man out of Place, but it really brightens my day whenever I see that positive feedback.

Honestly. Thank you guys. :pinkiesmile:

The two dislikes? Meh. I was expecting some, but it doesn't get me down. Really, I just wonder if it's the premise that they don't like, or if there's something about my writing that I can improve on.

And here. We. Go. · 3:41am Feb 20th, 2015

Just finished the first chapter! That wasn't so bad.

Actually kind of fun. :twilightsheepish:

Submitted it for review a moment ago, don't know when everyone else will be able to see it. Before the end of the week, hopefully.

I said I would have something up by then, don't want to be a liar.

Have to proof the thing myself for now, so expect errors here and there. I think I did alright for a first try though.

...

Aaaand, I forgot to indent the paragraphs- BUCK! :facehoof:
