Sort of, anyway. In the new chapter I just put (yes, shameless plug, but it is my blog after all), I did have Sunset mention about The Mission, one of the best Goth bands to ever come out (or as we did call it back then before Goth became fashionable, death-and-horror). Of course, Wayne Hussey should be familiar to those who are into New Wave and the Goth subculture, being lead guitar for The Sisters of Mercy before a falling out with Andrew Eldritch made him form The

Not just writing fanfics, but writing in general. Right now I write news articles for a living, specifically news about technology and games, with a little entertainment news thrown in once in awhile. And I even write fanfics every now and then. It isn't an easy job. I write seven articles daily, and have to submit them on time. I have come to appreciate news writers who have done this for years on end, as well as writers out there who do this for a living. It's not easy trying to get a story

Yes, I know I slowed down a bit in making a new chapter, but I finally did it. It wasn't an easy one to write, though. I have 3-4 stories in my head right now. That's not to add writing job as well, so you can see how much I've been doing and thinking on any given day. But this new chapter is much longer, and hopefully more satisfying. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next chapter this week. No promises though. I might get the inspiration somehow to make a lighter fanfic with Pinkie and

I have decided to make a new fanfic. Actually I am in the process of writing about 3-4 fanfics, almost at the same time, with of course different storylines but ultimately building up to one story arc, except maybe for one or two stand-alone stories, which will have no bearing on the overall story arc, not directly anyway. While waiting on 'Friendship Games'--well, lucky for those who will be able to first watch it--I'll be doing my fanfic. The first one I'll submit isn't the sequel to my first

We all know it; we've all encountered it. It is one of the nightmares of all writers: writer's block. That time when you have a good story in mind, it's all in your head and then you sit down to write or type, and then it hits you: you can't seem to get it out somehow. You have a general idea about a story, or perhaps an idea, but then when you sit to get the details out, you realize it's not working for you. It is most difficult for those who want to write something new and refreshing,

When I first tried writing fan fiction many years ago, I tried to be ambitious--I wanted an epic story that will involve many characters, a storyline that would make the X-Men storylines seem like children's story. Needless to say, it didn't go well. Although I did have a set of core characters, having just that many characters pulled in from different genres had become so complicated that the story began to get unwieldy. My vision was not just to write 10 or more chapters, but it would span

It's not going to be a long one--perhaps not longer than two chapters, and each chapter is also disjointed in that they can be stand-alone fics in themselves. The only unifying thread is that it involves Sonata, since the stories show how her life is with the Rainbooms. Though the two stories are connected to the first fanfic and serves as a bridge, so to speak, to the next majot fic (or maybe part of a bridge; it depends on how many of the shorts i can make before I go to the next major

Well, not in my fanfic anyway. Or not yet at least. This is my own take of how it would be if ever an Equestria Girls series is made, which more likely than not won't have Twilight. Not the Equestria Twilight anyway, and since (as of this blog and the fanfic's writing) "Friendship Games" isn't out yet, I won't do a human Twi, since we haven't yet seen how she is apart from the preview. Making a reverse or an opposite of Equestria Twilight wouldn't do since we don't know yet what her exact

Unless I have new inspiration, chapter 5 is the last chapter for my fanfic, though definitely it's not the last story. That particular fanfic might be done, but not the story itself.

In any event, stories do take a life of their own. Especially the last part, when IMO ( at least for me) it took a turn for a little bit darker tone, if not very much darker. As I've said, I initially didn't intend it to turn out that way.

I'll try to tackle once again Sonata and Pinkie, and why they act like that. Note that this is just my theory; one is free to disagree with it, as the movie and books have not really dissected any of them thoroughly (and being movies, shows, and books aimed primarily at to something like 15 or maybe a little older or so, I'm not totally sure they'll go deeply into the each character's motives, personalities and the like). In any case, first of all I don't believe every pony is dumb--except when
