I write, I draw, and both tend to be a bit grimdark. Hopefully writing ponies will mitigate that somewhat.

Edits! · 11:51pm Jun 5th, 2012

So, the amount of typos and inconsistencies in Backwards Through the Mirror has reached critical mass (or critical mess) and it's time for some editing! Unfortunately, I have only the one editor to help me, who is writing his own stories and working and so forth... So this might take a while.

I got featured! · 8:50am May 24th, 2012

By Celestia's beard! I'm famous! :o

I want to thank you all! I mean, sure, being featured isn't much of a thing, but it's most uplifting to see my little story up there on the featured thingy.

So, to celebrate, here are a few fun facts about the story:

It's over 130 single-spaced pages now.
I've got a sequel already partially written, which promises to be very dark and crazy.
It took me months to work up the nerve to post the story.

On the new canon. · 2:20am Apr 23rd, 2012

So, Changelings are a part of MLP: FiM canon now, and several other things have changed. In anticipation of any questions people might have, here is a handy-dandy list!

*shakes out a list, which is ridiculously long*

1: Princess Cadence and Shining Armor do not exist in my canon, because I have absolutely no way to explain where they were and saying they were off on holiday for several years would be the world's largest cop-out.

Popular, what? Also I'm not dead. · 4:03am Mar 8th, 2012

Sooo... I was cruising the stats and I noticed Backwards Through the Mirror's readership hasn't so much spiked as skyrocketed, despite my lack of an update in many many weeks. Add that in to the almost 200 thumbs-up and I am honestly and delightedly surprised, thank you all so much!

Updates somewhat delayed. · 4:55am Feb 1st, 2012

Hurr, blank post at first.

Anyway, yes, updates are still delayed. The next intermission is very long, and keeps getting longer, and I'm rapidly approaching graduation so my time is limited. I'll be working on it between art requests, commissions, art homework, fighting the bureaucracy here at school, and attempting to get my teaching credential.


Oh, duh, forgot another thing:

So, about that art I promised... · 8:31pm Dec 8th, 2011

Threw this together in about an hour or so and inked it with a cheap pen, but it gives a basic look for Twilight in her snazzy armor.
I probably won't color this one, but Twilight's too awesome to leave in black and white.

Soooo... · 1:42am Nov 22nd, 2011

Revisions are postponed, my editor has too much work to do for her classes and I have trouble spotting my own mistakes without completely changing the story, inserting scenes and so forth.

Thank you everyone! · 6:56am Nov 15th, 2011

Wow, my first fic on here has been receiving so much love, it's a little overwhelming. What's funny is I kinda threw this thing together over two days, then posted it in chunks, then just kinda bumbled onwards until it got as long as it has. Now it's got a part one, which is almost over, and a part two which I've already got planned, and a sequel in the works.

Also, I'm going to be revising once part one is over, going over every chapter with a fine-toothed grammar comb.

Is it weird... · 2:10am Nov 11th, 2011

... That I obsessively check for responses every five minutes or so when I post a new chapter?

Also: Writing sprees, they make me skip dinner. :< Pop-tarts for everypony!

Also Also: Chapters of Backwards Through the Mirror will be undergoing a couple of re-writes following my fillyfriend's helpful critique. Serious re-writes, may the grammar gods forgive me. >.<
