Stop it Characters. Stop it! · 2:06am Dec 3rd, 2015

No, now they're starting to ship themselves!

I won't be specific, because spoilers, but pony X and pony Z had better stop it and get with the program, or I'm getting the hose.

Writing Chapters Out of Sequence! · 11:47pm Dec 2nd, 2015

I am working on something! But I'm skipping a sad chapter, and writing a super-duper sexy one, because I can't handle sad right now.

True facts.

Actually, serious Q: is it better to update-as-you-write, or write the whole thing and then release it?

When We Gettin' Down We Are All Equal · 2:53am Nov 29th, 2015

Okay, the Season 5 Finale was pretty badass, overall. We also have everything we need to do a MLP/Man in the High Castle crossover, now, if anyone wants to save me the trouble.

Also: Amazon Fluttershy. I'm using that. Somehow. I will find a way if it kills me.

That feeling when you call a pony's knees elbows, so that human readers get the right idea about where they are. I think, based on my reference photo, the back knees are called 'gaskins'? Is that right?

Also in my reference, the arrow labeled 'flank' clearly points to the side of the poor beast's belly. Someone needs to be the brave soul to prove to brony-kind that, no matter how well it rhymes with "blank", "flank" does not mean "butt".

Cute Couples Who Are Really Hard to Ship · 8:09pm Nov 24th, 2015

I think RaraRara would be cute, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a conflict to drive their story. They're the kind of couple where their biggest problem would probably be that thier demanding, mostly unrelated careers would keep them from spending time together. Which is a thing, but not a very exciting thing. Unless

I think my next thing will be a FlutterDash story, and since I write them both as kind of self-destructive, finding conflict in that should be a breeze.

Non-Binding Referendum · 4:36am Nov 16th, 2015

I'm thinking about what I'll write after Hot Harvest. I have several fragments lying around, but I do rather feel like writing more clop. So, which sounds better?

1. Frazzle Rock vs. Rarity.

Hot Harvest IV is up! · 11:43pm Nov 12th, 2015

Hot Harvest is 13K+ words long! HOLY SHIT! How did I write so much? I think there's only one chapter left. I had a clever idea that might push the story out from five to six chapters, but we'll see how that works out in practice.

Thanks to the every mare-velous Agent Cerulean Starlight for editing help. If there are any mistakes left, they're my fault, not his! :pinkiehappy:

Thank You All! · 4:22am Nov 9th, 2015

For the supportive comments in the face of some kind of bizarrely aggressive downvoting! It means a lot, and mends the papercut sting of anonymous, unhelpful negativity.

There are (hopefully) two more chapters left in this one. One plot-no-actual-plot, the other plot + (hopefully) epic climactic sex.

After that, I'll probably write more. I like writing fanfic! It's like fiction legos.

I Am The Pony Who Will FIIIIGHT for Your HOONNOOOR! · 1:54am Nov 9th, 2015

Working on the Cheerliee chapter in Hot Harvest, so I'm feeling all 80's tonight, and....

Youtube, are you really telling me there ISN'T a TwiMore-based PMV of Peter Cetera's Glory of Love?

Could someone get on that? I can't learn to make PMVs; I have, like, a hundred hobbies already, and I really don't have the time. :duck:

Finally Caught Up on MLP, and Overthinking Things · 5:17pm Nov 2nd, 2015

I got behind, not least of all because my daughter is a weirdo -- she finds the show too scary, and would rather watch terrifying documentaries on the Weather Channel. Anyway, there's a lot of good stuff in there -- especially Hearthbreakers. Let's see -- unpacking holiday traditions in different regions of Equestria. That's priceless, fanfic-wise. The Pies are a strange lot, as well -- their thees and thous and odd rock rituals could be easily spun into them being part of some kind of
