Twilight floated a second fritter up to her mouth when she realized the first was gone. “What is in these things?” “Mostly love. Love ‘n about three sticks of butter.”

An article by one of our own, and some thoughts on "what's wrong with those people." · 3:35am Aug 29th, 2018

Dubs Rewatcher wrote an interesting article for Polygon magazine about BronyCon ending and the series (potentially) being rebooted next year. It’s very well reported and fair, and I don’t say that just because I ended up quoted in it. :ajsmug:

Just a Note · 2:57am Aug 11th, 2018

Just wanted to let potentially interested people know that the amazing ObabScribbler has done an audiobook of Tunnel of Love, so I decided to let everyone else know too.

BronyCon and Halcyon Days · 4:23am Jul 30th, 2018

I had the best time at BronyCon this year that I’ve ever had at a con. This post is partially about that.

When I got home, I found out that BronyCon 2019, next year, will be the last BronyCon. This post is partially about that.

This post is also about the song that spoils every story I’ve ever written or will write.

Let’s start there.

BronyCon Post · 3:10am Jul 27th, 2018

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for BronyCon. I should be there by 1 PM.

I'm leaving the family at home, so I get to be a grown-up for a few days!

As usual, the best place to find me is either at Quills and Sofas or at the nearest smoking area. I especially appreciate people who want to sit and have conversations with me in the smoking area, mostly because it's quiet and I can hear you (other outdoor locations can work too, if you're sensitive to smoke or the spot is uncomfortable.)

Housekeeping · 4:27am May 8th, 2018

Morning Sun is Vice-Chair of BronyCon, and in her official capacity as the person responsible for keeping fanfic writers from going feral and kidnapping the VAs to get readings of our work, she’s looking for ideas to keep us occupied in our hidey hole, Quills and Sofas. If you have suggestions, go here!

A brief review of the movie Trolls, by bookplayer, bats, and Jake R · 3:07am Apr 6th, 2018

bookplayer: So, we watched Trolls today. That... is a movie someone made.
Jake R: It looked pretty unremarkable from the trailers
bookplayer: Oh, it's very remarkable.

By the Numbers... · 2:23am Mar 22nd, 2018

I was mentioning to bats today that my pony productivity hasn't dropped off much over the years. Then I took a glance at my stories page and... my pony production has not dropped off. In fact, here are the totals for the years I've been in fandom (by calendar year):

2012: 145,470
2013: 78,518
2014: 14,127
2015: 64,483
2016: 78,587
2017: 125,749

...last year I wrote more horse words than I have since my first year in fandom.

What I've Been Up To · 4:51am Jan 22nd, 2018

I would like to be writing. I'd also like to be reading and talking to friends, but I haven't been. (I do read more around here than I comment on, but I've been pretty invisible as a practical matter.)

I have reasons for that, so I'll tell you about them both as an excuse and a general "how I've been" update:

Another Signal Boost and some Additional Signal (Please check it out if it's relevant to you.) · 8:06am Jan 1st, 2018

First, happy new year and also I'm still alive!

I was moved to post this at this godforsaken hour in reaction to the talk that's been going around. You’ve probably seen this already, but I wanted to signal boost Horizon’s post about the scary situation that happened last BronyCon.
