Happy Belated Independence Day · 5:11pm Jul 5th, 2020

Hello everyone, I'm the author formerly known as NorthCrusader,

Happy belated Fourth of July. I've been away from fimfiction for a while dealing with the pandemic, work, and other grown-up real life stuff. I'm currently writing a new story featuring Twilight Sparkle that will come out this month. I'm also trying to expand to other fandoms; I've already written a few Loud House stories over at Fanfiction.net, and I'm slowly working my way to Star vs. the Forces of Evil.

I'm not dead, but I'm not alive either · 8:09am Jun 7th, 2020

It's been a while, been feeling slightly depressed about current events in the USA right now. My job has been sucking the life-force out of me, so I haven't written/published anything in months. No matter how much I write I produce crap, but my writing was never good to begin with.

I will trying to get something out, but sometimes it's not easy.

Stay safe, stand up, stand as one.

Peace be with you.

Happy March 2020 · 3:04am Mar 11th, 2020

Hoo boy, I know it's been months since I published something. I've been dealing with things offline - adult stuff like my job, finances, voting, getting sick with a fever. I tried to write and publish a short story last month but that fell through, but I very simple and short story coming soon featuring Fluttershy, and I'm also writing a funnier story for April. It's kind of sort of April Fools-related, but I'm not rushing to get out on April 1st. I hope you're all doing great, and stay healthy

I'm still here · 6:36pm Dec 10th, 2019

Just a regular blog post reminding everyone I'm still here, and new stories will be coming soon in 2020. I've been very busy this month; being overwhelmed with my job and the holiday season, but will be back to normal by January. Happy Holidays to all and I'll see you next year.

Cozy Glow story coming soon · 10:55pm Oct 26th, 2019

Hello everyone,

Nothing really important in this blog post, just stopping by to letting you know I'm still around and working on a Cozy Glow short story. All of my stories feature the main six and Spike in some way or another, so I'm challenging myself to write stories about characters I never used before. It's going to be published early November. After that, I have an idea for a horror story involving the student six. We'll just have to see what happens.

The End · 3:09am Oct 13th, 2019

My friends, one of the greatest animated shows of the decade has finally concluded. The storybook from the very first episode has closed on the Story of Equestria. It's sad to see our favorite ponies go off in the sunset, but we all knew it was bound to happen. At least, to most of us, it went off on a high note. And even though Friendship is Magic is over, the fandom is still here, now and forever. And of course, many of us still have stories to tell. I know I do. I wish the cast and crew the

The End is (Almost) Here · 6:02pm Oct 11th, 2019

Well boys and girls, tomorrow will be the day of the grande finale of Friendship is Magic. It's been a great run these nine years, but all things must come to an end. Just remember that because the show is ending, doesn't mean life itself is ending. We still have a great fan community that's too big to disappear overnight. We still have Fimfiction, where we can make up stories that happen after the finale, or any story we want to tell. Even though BronyCon is no more, there are still other

A simple question. What are you guys going to do after Friendship is Magic ends?
