My Guest Chapter on Super Trampoline's "Please Downvote" · 2:08am Apr 22nd, 2020

I’ve got a guest chapter up on Super Trampoline’s story, “Please Downvote: The Absolute Best story to Ever Grace FimFiction!” It’s silly.

And if you’re interested in sending him a guest chapter, he’s got a blog post up about it here.

We're Eggspecting! now in Polish! · 2:53pm Nov 24th, 2019

Anyone who has even a passing familiarity with translation can tell you about its challenges, especially when humor and wordplay impacts the story, so I was incredibly flattered when Zodiac offered to translate We’re Eggspecting! to Polish. Their story is now up on AO3, complete with egg-pun title and Polish “griffgriff.” Check it out at Stan błogosJAJOny (on AO3)!

Corrigenda: A List of Corrections · 1:45am Nov 19th, 2018

As I mentioned in some comments to Corrigenda, I wanted to write a blog post after I’d had some time away from the story to think about it. This post addresses the ideas behind two of the elements that I have to admit I’m not quite sure about. Overall, I think they were interesting, but I could have done something different with them. This post also talks about the influences besides MLP and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

The first draft of the end of Corrigenda is done. Given my track record, I’ll probably be uploading the final draft...around the time the show hiatus ends? Let’s go with that. :twilightsheepish:

Next Corrigenda Update · 11:59pm May 2nd, 2018

Chapter 12 will be the next to last update for Corrigenda, but it isn’t quite ready yet. It’s a long chapter (since it’s tying up a good portion of the plot threads from the rest of the story), and I had to rework the outline partway through the first draft. That said, I doubt it’ll take too much longer. I’m on the third draft now, so I feel pretty confident about getting it to my editor and then published soon.

Rewrites and New Chapter · 9:52pm Nov 5th, 2017

Chapter 8 (Mimic) and rewrites for the prior chapters are all up. I’m pretty sure I’ve kept my promise of not making any changes big enough to require a re-read of earlier chapters if you’ve read through Trial. However, I had to move some of Fluttershy’s background from Progression to Absence, so if you were in the middle of chapters 1-4, you’ll probably want to restart.

The thing I said about not rewriting? Forget it. · 4:45pm Aug 28th, 2017

TLDR: I’m going to rewrite sizable parts of Corrigenda. Current readers won’t need to reread anything, though.
