A Heart Full Of Valor has finally been properly edited. I also added a little scene with Sunset Shimmer at the end.

In the near future, I will be starting a new series of one-shots titled Older Siblings Always Have Your Back. As the name implies, it will be about the various older brothers and sisters of the series being awesomely protective of their younger siblings, and you guys get to vote on which one in the list below goes first. Just two minor notes: I will be excluding Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash from the roster, as those have been done to heck and back on the show and in fanfic

So it seems that my most recent story is doing even worse than Human Magic, which as you can imagine is a real kick in the nuts for me. But don't worry, I'm not giving up again. I've invested too much in this series to give up on it. Hell, if anything, it has made me even more determined to make this series succeed. I've changed the title and made some other minor adjustment, I've finally found an editor, and I am aggressively pursuing new cover art, which I suspect is a major issue.

In a couple of hours, I will be deleting Equestria Girls: Human Magic in order to replace it with the new and improved version, Equestria Girls: Courage Under Fire. It is essentially the same story with the same premise, but the first chapter will be longer, have different characters, more details, and will overall just be plain better. Since I do not yet have an editor (although I hope to correct that soon), I will be taking some time to review Courage Under Fire and

Has anyone out there gotten any ideas for stories from their own dreams? I have had a few stories inspired by my own dreams, although none of them panned out. Most recently, however, one of my dreams helped me make a final decision on an important issue for my future work.

I just discovered that someone has created a bit for It Sounds Better Than "Pity Date" in TVTropes. It's not a page, just a paragraph in their "Heartwarming" segment, but it still feels good.

So yesterday I posted a comment on one of my favorite stories that was basically an expression of how tired I was of how some people objected incessantly to the FlashLight pairing. Then another reader posted a reply that basically derided the very idea of liking Flash Sentry as a character. I didn't get mad, but I was inspired to write another reply to thank him and those like him for inspiring me to build Flash into the character he is in my headcanon today. I would explain that at

So earlier today, I read the final chapter of Bleach, and while I enjoyed the series as a whole, I gotta say, the last few chapters felt really rushed. I mean, the final boss had just explained why his power was supposedly invincible, but then in just three or four chapters, he gets ganged up on by a bunch of random characters and is just beaten without any real build up or reasonable explanation as to how. Yeah, I know Aizen used his powers to fool Yhwach, but seemed too easy to me.

I have not yet watched any of the Legend of Everfree clips yet for personal reasons, yet I have heard quite a bit about them, enough to make me realize just how much my own headcanon has diverted from the entire franchise's own canon; it's not quite as good a feeling as I would have thought. It feels kind of awkward and makes me a little nervous, honestly. Sometimes I feel like we fanfic writers are almost at war with the official material—trying to build and hold firm to our own ideas

Not much to talk about today. The only activity was a tour that I passed up, which wasn't such a good idea in retrospect since it left me with little to write. I'll make sure not to make that mistake again. Tomorow I hope to have more to talk about, but tonight I'm just going to knock back a couple of beers and go to bed. That motel room I gripped about yesturday is a lot better now that I don't have to share it with an old guy who likes to walk around shirtless and shine the lights in my
