I've been:

Quite enjoying it, all told. It's been a tad on the goofy side, yes, but I've never been one to object to a fair-to-middling dollop of goofiness now and again.

Y'know:

The more I think about it, the more I kinda like the idea that all the episodes so far have taken place during a single year.

It makes me wonder if they could actually be arranged that way. I mean, forget the broadcast order and just go with internal evidence: for instance, is there any reason why "Apple Family Reunion" couldn't happen before "Applebuck Season"?

Spoilers ahead, so BEWARE!

I hate judging:

Other writers' work. It's why I would never make a good editor. When I'm critiquing someone else's story, I can find little things to bring up, places where it's not quite clear how a character is moving in a scene or places where the author contradicts something the story's already said. But if I try to go further than that, I inevitably start re-writing the story into my own voice and style, and that's just plain not helpful to anyone.

I didn't mean:

To start a collection of pony poetry, but, well, here it is. It looks like it'll include seven poems when it's done, and since the fourth put the word count over a thousand, I've gone ahead and submitted it to the site. More to come!

Folks are familiar with:

Illya Leonov, right? The guy who does some terrific readings of Pony fic? Did a fine rendition of Cold In Gardez's "Lost Cities" last month, for instance?

I like to think of myself:

As a fairly law-abiding kinda guy--I mean, other than the whole "disregarding the intent of ev'ry copyright law in the book by writing and displaying Pony stories" thing and all...

About a year ago:

Fictionwise, the place where I had e-book versions of the science-fiction and fantasy stories I'd sold to various magazines during the 1990s and the 2000s--do we call that decade "the Oughts?" 'Cause we really should--went out of business, leaving my stories in electronic limbo.

So:

With Piefall now wrapped up, I'll be taking the next six weeks or so to work on some non-Pony stories--one of which you can read me being interviewed about over on Jonathan Moeller's blog. I talk about some other stuff, too...
