I'm havin' a real kinda all-over-the-place week so, in a very questionable move, I've done this.

If you feel like wasting fifteen-odd minutes of your life, have I got the thing for you!

For real though, awful. But it helped me pass the time.

I did do my own version of reading Clap Your Hands and it was 300% hot garbage, as I expected it would be.

One for the secret archives, methinks. Leave it to the people who know what they're doing!

And who can, you know, actually do it in the first place. With voices and everything!

Aha! Another thing that apparently so gripped someone that they read it! And in next to no time, too!

I find this sort of thing inordinately delightful. Oh, I'm all aflutter.

No word of a lie I myself was considering reading this one, actually, but have been beaten to the punch!

How wonderful!

I pinch off some story about a human doing something stupid and toss it on here before going to bed, figuring "Eh, whevs, add another to my pile, someone'll probably get a kick out of it" and then promptly turning in.

Wake up! Top o' the box! Fistful of notifications! Lotta people sayin' a lotta nice things! Pow!

A surprise, sure, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't really nice!

Also, just on account on looking back over it for perhaps some idea on how to finishit, I realise that Beans On Toast And Hot Showers is basically my entire output on here in microcosm.

Or, rather, the strange prototype vehicle for what would later become my cliches stalwart and reliable narrative features.

To whit:

- Vacillating and inert male (human) lead

And I know I got a handful of longer things here I should probably be chipping away at - or, in the case of at least two of them, actually just finishing - but I look at them and just go "Hurgh."

So stuff like this happens.

Eh.

Yes!

This thing! This thing is now out in the wild!

Someone actually read something I've done! Out loud! Without me making them!

And it's super good! Look how good it is! Or listen, rather.

I take a moment to peel away from being bollock-deep in NaNo to express sadness that the week was kicking so much shit out of me I was unable to do something fluffy, pony-based and Bonfire Night inspired - sigh! I could see it in my brain but my brain had been turned into white sauce and would not do what I wanted it to. Next year, I suppose...

Still! My birthday this weekend. Let's all be appropriately thankful that I exist and am aging.

Today in "Things everyone here knows about but I don't because my access to the show is severely limited and I'm at least four or five years behind everyone else at this point": I don't know what a Silverstream is but I want one. She's adorable. In fact, make it two.

After all that transporter discussions back from Grunts I've got onto the DS9 episode where the duplicated Riker shows up!

I mean...this has nothing to do with ponies, it just caught me off guard.
