This is great. I’m going to get a good grade in horsefic, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

It's My Blog, I Get to Choose the Post Schedule · 8:17pm June 4th

I received a wonderful and unexpected message this morning from FIMFic user Rabbit XC4D, sharing with me an outrageously beautiful piece of art they created:

Dear Princess Celestia, · 7:48pm April 30th

Two Thursdays ago (April 17th), I rewatched the season 3 finale of MLP:FiM, when Twilight earns her wings. It had been a long time since I saw that episode in particular - not for any particular reason, just because it’s been a while since I was really actively watching and rewatching the show. I still remember watching that episode when it aired. I cried… both times.

Pushing Your Writing with Characters who Just Kind of... Suck · 7:18pm Jan 16th, 2024

Intro

We’ve all been there. You sit down to write a fic you’ve been thinking about for a while. At first, the words just pour out of you - man, writing is easy! But, as time and word count wear on, you start to feel a little… bored. The words keep coming, but the story is getting a bit wooden. Hollow. What’s going on?

Writing and Thinking · 8:19pm Jan 10th, 2024

Intro

Writing is thinking, and thinking is writing. I read that in a book last year about using fiction writing in academic research. It’s a really cool idea, and one that I bet rings true for many of you - it’s a cycle we all take part in, whether we are conscious of it or not.

Turns out I was not in my Silly Era · 11:10pm Jan 3rd, 2024

Hi all

Another personal blog post? From Mushroom? How strange.

Back in the beginning of August, I posted a blog that essentially said I was stressing myself out and looking for a way to have fun with the fandom again. I made some bold promises that I would be working on some cool new stuff, that I was going to quit taking myself so seriously and just let loose, and that my story-posting would soon see a large uptick.

New Nightmare Night Story! It's Complicated... · 5:29pm Oct 30th, 2023

Hey gang!

It sure has been a while, amirite?

Nightmare Night is a busy time of year around here! While I had initially canceled my plan to write something spooky, fate had other plans - a little gift exchange between friends ended up helping me produce some seasonal scares :3c There’s only one problem, though: it is almost impossible to post.

Reading from TheLostNarrator! · 4:40pm Oct 28th, 2023

Hi everyone!

I think I was so overcome with excitement last week that I neglected to let you all know about an exciting little development: last week, TheLostNarrator published a reading of one of my horror fics!

My Silly Era · 4:12pm Aug 15th, 2023

Hi all

A blog post? From Mushroom? Unheard of behavior.

So okay. Initially I wanted to try to find a way to say this that wasn't completely self-serving, but then I realized this is my blog and I'm in charge! So you all can just deal with it.

Signal Boost: Offsite Fic · 1:11am Nov 1st, 2021

Hey, y'all!

I have an interesting blog for you all today! It's not often that the site's posting rules really get in the way of a good fic, but the story I'm posting about today is entirely in script format and sadly is a no-go for onsite posting :( but it's amazing!! And it's really difficult to get traction for fics off the site. So here we go!
