Well, I started it... · 2:47am January 9th

All Good Things... has commenced. I may have a chapter of it up tonight.

I really want to start closing out the unfinished stories, but sometimes you just can't get back into the flow for them. Sorceress and the Siren is one, Into the Wilds is another. Which is sad cause I love writing Azure.

Truth of the Heart, though, I feel the most guilty over. You guys deserve better from me on that. And, hopefully, this week I'll provide.

Homecoming, in retrospect. · 11:00am Dec 30th, 2023

Homecoming as a series is a glorious mess. I’ve gone on short bits of fluff, created some … unique ships, twisted the fabric of canon EqG, and even touched on some dark topics.

I’ve had stories that have strayed far from their initial plan (Trials in particular) and some that probably should have been rewritten for clarity (Insurgence springs to mind, as does Forgotten Legacy)

Don't you just hate it... · 2:07am Apr 24th, 2023

When you can't find something when you need to?

Case in point, I went looking for a comment where they alluded to It being like Frodo saving the Shire for everyone but himself and had to sail to another land to find solace.

But I can't remember what fic or anything else.

And it's frustrating to me.

Meanwhile, in other news...

“Concentrate, Ash,” Lexi said. “It’s important we get an idea of how far your mana has enhanced you physically.”

For those wondering.... · 9:36am Apr 2nd, 2023

I am working on Truth.

“What are you doing here?” Sunset stammered as she gazed at her father. Emotions swirled inside of her, a maelstrom of feelings. Confusion, certainly. Some anger, long-simmered and cooled into bitterness. A bit of joy, but just a tiny bit.

Mostly confusion though.

Red rubbed the back of his neck. “It’s a long story,” he hedged.

About Bomb fics. · 10:27am Mar 30th, 2023

And I'm not talking about ones dealing with explosives.

Several years ago, my colleague and friend Monochromatic launched what was to be the first ever RariTwi bomb. And the success was phenomenal with more than 35 stories that entered. You can find the full list HERE.

That was in 2019. I feel that it is time for the Bomb to return.

Azure Foalklore · 6:02pm Feb 25th, 2023

So I was going through some old papers and found the very rough draft of Azure's character sheet from the D&D game that she was created for.

Having an account on D&D Beyond made the updating easy. Since the Ponyfinder ruleset wasn't an option, I just built her as human. All other stats and such are accurate though.

Enjoy and feel free to tell me what you think!

I feel like over the course of writing Trials, you have seen a tiny bit of the evolution of my writing. If you’ve read since the origin story, Homecoming, the. You ahem certainly seen the change of my writing. I know I have when I check back for threads to tie off.

I’m looking at you, Sonata.

Trials · 2:42am Feb 6th, 2023

I just posted the Penultimate chapter of Trials of a Princess tonight. I hope you guys like how things are being resolved. Just a final chapter and an Epilogue, and this era of Homecoming will come to an end.

I mentioned this in my chapter notes, but my wife and I were never fully happy with how Chrysalis went out in the show. I was ok with it since she tried to take ponies out with her, but I had felt for a while that she would get redeemed... even by accident.

Coming Soon · 6:28am Dec 17th, 2022

While organizing my Google Docs page tonight, I found a few (somewhat incomplete) stories that have been alluded to in the past.

It's Not Ok and I Don't Really Know What I'm Doing

One was intended to be an exploration of the various sides of a few characters but currently is is a completed Vinyl and Octavia chapter and a partially finished Fluttershy in therapy chapter.

The other was just the thought of how Nightmare Moon could have gone in the EQG universe.
