I'm going to make the questionable decision of sharing this random conversation with you you fine people. For your... uh... "edification." (That's my story and I'm sticking to it ).

I was chatting with my brother about Halo, a franchise both of us have loved since it came out. We were having an actual serious "what if" discussion about the plot when I accidentally said "Main Six" instead of "main characters."

A new chapter of Homecoming will be up soon. In the meantime, a short excerpt revealing why Discord didn't get involved in the War. At least, not directly. For those who read Homecoming, I hope this will be an interesting expansion. For those who don't, perhaps this will provide some inspiration for how to explain why Discord doesn't just fix everything if you write a fic involving war or great violence.

I have come to the conclusion that my muse, if it were a person and not an arbitrary literary device giving some measure of personification to the concept of inspiration, would be that obnoxious co-worker who constantly stirs up trouble in the office, wastes time, pranks incessantly, and is generally a lazy schmuck, yet who can't be fired, no matter how much the boss wants to, because he's literally essential to the company functioning.

I do my level best to stay away from posting about current events on this site. I come here to have a mental space away from that.

I’m going to make an exception here.

No country will ever fully live up to its ideals. Human weakness guarantees that even the greatest and noblest of nations will still have its demons.

This does not mean that we should abandon the struggle. Excellence may be achieved in pursuing perfection. Even when we fall short, there is grace in striving. A nation may not be made flawless, but it can be made better.

I found out about this because of FanofMostEverything. It truly put a smile on my face, so I'm paying it forward.

Here's my relationship with my Writer Brain in a nutshell. "Hey, Writer Brain. We're stuck at home with an excellent opportunity to write. Why don't we work on something like A 14th Century Friar, which has a big following, or Homecoming, which is near and dear to my heart and hasn't been updated in an embarrassingly long time."

So... I'm biting the bullet and making a Patreon.

I haven't the foggiest idea what to do with it, mind you, but I'm making one. Because people have told me they want to give me money for writing these stories and, well, I'm not going to argue with them.

My Neighbor began as a simple story of a kind old man displaying common decency. He was a fully fleshed out character from the start, but at first I had no designs on writing multiple stories about him. After the warm reception My Neighbor and Mr. Arrow received, however, I scripted out several other short narratives to follow his interactions with the Apples and other EqG cast members.
