How Marmy Spent Her April Fools Day · 9:31am April 6th

I keep forgetting to do these. But allow me to enlighten you as to what I'm juggling at the moment:

  • A Tumblr blog about my legacy within Odd Squad, because people are, for some reason, inquiring about it
  • A Tumblr blog about Odd Squad UK, because on Celestia's sun-laden ass, its network meddling is a crisis worth addressing

The 2024 Odd Squad Secret Valentine's Exchange -- Final Results and Summary · 9:40am February 25th

"But Seren, it's past V-Day."

"But Seren, you said you wouldn't be posting non-pony stuff on FiMFic anymore."

"But Seren, shouldn't you be writing Solar and Lunar? Or Double Residency?"

Look, let me get through this and then we'll all be happy. S' all I ask.

"Wordsville and the Problem with Cash-Cow Copies" -- Essay Now Up · 6:34pm February 19th

Part silly, part analytical, about 95% sheer ranting and rambling.

I had posted this on my Tumblr blog Saturday evening, but forgot to post it here. So et voila, for those interesting in me seeing dive into an Odd Squad ripoff pre-release.

Blog Repurposing · 12:05am February 17th

So at the beginning of the year, I had stated my desires to do more with my FiMFic blog. Namely, I wanted to do reviews and discussion of cartoon news, Odd Squad stuff, and the like.

But -- and sit down for this one, I'm gonna blow your mind -- as I found out last night, those seem like better fits for the Tumblr blog I started up a few months back.

To All the Fellow Aroaces on This Valentine's Day · 2:43am February 15th

I hope the cosmic forces have blessed you with a good day. Or will bless you with a good day,

...

Unlike me, who had to get sick with cramps, a few terrible bouts of diarrhea, and many hours of lost sleep.

The story of my aroace awakening is a long and messy one I won't bother to bore you with because I know better. The cosmic forces, on the other hand...I gotta crack open the storybook and see if my aunt's claim of "your voice puts me to sleep" still holds up.

Finally...It Is Done · 5:02pm February 12th

After many nights of editing, scheming, and having the anxiety really kick in over "is this how you write other people's OCs?", I am proud to say that I have finally finished the fic for the Odd Squad Discord server's Valentine's Fic Exchange.

The problem, of course, is coming up with a witty title that references a PDFA PSA. And fretting over whether my recipient finds it good.

Update on Ponefics and the Odd Squad Secret Valentine's Exchange · 5:50am February 5th

After a bit of a delay, I've finally got a good springboard to begin writing my story for the Odd Squad Discord server's Secret Valentine's Exchange! Huzzah!

Unfortunate part is, I only have ten days to bang out the fic -- it's due right on the 14th, natch. And if my ADD doesn't cooperate, chances are I'll be seeking out an extension of a few days.

Watched, Like, a Dark, F*cked-Up Version of Cure Sky Haha. Just a Glimpse Into My Dark Rea- · 12:12pm January 21st

Thanks for playing different hits, Toei. Proud of ya for breaking tradition. Do more of that, please.

But, like...chill with the dark stuff, huh? G5 wishes it could reach the caliber y'all did in a single story arc. When I see pones with "taking you with me" gambits and "let's do the stabby-stab" death attempts, I'll hit ya up.

A Bit of Dribble About S2 of TYT... · 4:47pm January 19th

So I'm not gonna lie, Season 2 of Tell Your Tale is solid thus far. For something running where Make Your Mark walked, it's going pretty well. (And yeah, I know, it's only been 2 episodes...but it's a pretty good improvement from Season 1. Only con I have is that if's still 5 minutes.)

There is something that bugs me though...outside of the whole 5-minute thing, anyway.

It's Not Perfect, But It Works (Or: Laptop Update) · 10:29am January 13th

Woke: I have procured a laptop! I can make stories once more!

Broke: 2006 hard drive. Old WXP computer that has been upgraded to Windows 10. Every time I hit the A key I hit the S key on accident. The touchpad makes me drag stuff way too often. I have to type like fellow Old Man Child Otis in Odd Squad. Send help.

Okay, but real talk. It's not a perfect computer, but it's passable. It'll really take some work to bang fics out with how fast I usually type, but I'll make it work.
