I figure enough time has passed that I can be a little less leery of posting spoilers for Star Trek Picard Season 3. I won't go *too* in depth (and will spoiler tag a few things), but I do want to talk about the work that the writer/director Terry Malalas did with Episode 10 (the last) in particular.

I haven't commed a lot of art of my ponysona, but I thought this piece was nice enough to share. Artist is EnderBee.

When I wrote last year's post, I must admit that I expected to be a little more prolific than I ended up being.

Such is life, I suppose.

That said, I do think I released some good pieces this year, so I'll refrain from saying it was wasted.

I suppose this post is also a confirmation that I'm not retired or anything. Just had some life things going on, as well as personal issues that meant my writing output dropped across the board this year.

Hello,

Been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, so a small update today.

To lead off, much like last year I plan to attend Everfree Northwest this year. If you happen to spot me, feel free to say hello!

(if you want - no pressure)

I expect to be doing more of the fun panels this year rather than the writing-centric panels - most are either repeats of last year or not things I have interest in participating in.

I'll start by saying that while this is not going to be a positive review, I'm going to try to keep it constructively negative beyond "this sucks", as I think the problems are fairly clear and easy to point out. And if you liked the show, that's great. I don't think less of you for it! I can be sometimes critical of things that don't bother most, and this review's going to reflect that.

I'll lead off with the short spoiler free version:

Hello, folks. It's been a hot minute since I did a little refresher on what I've still got going on. I'll give a brief update on each below.

Mercy for One

I've recently used Chrysalis in a few stories, in a lighthearted role, and I think she's worked there.

Hello, folks.

After some thought, I've decided to launch a Discord server.

Despite the name, this isn't intended to be a fanclub for me or anything silly like that - just a place where people can (ideally) congregate to discuss Pony and other topics, with a bend toward a writing focus.

The link is here: https://discord.gg/dsekDzvHGT

So yeah. That's a thing. 🎇

I first got into Pony in the middle of 2020, though I was aware of it well before that. Being unemployed at the time, I was looking for stuff to watch between submitting job apps, and for whatever reason Netflix suggested it after I'd finished Beastars S1. I figured I'd give it a few episodes and see how things came out.

Generally, most of my short stories are written in a pretty short length of time. If everything flows well, sometimes it's just under an hour, plus or minus a little time for editing. Shining the Enduring was about three weeks, mostly because I had very high standards for that one.

The master document for this story has a creation date of September 11th. Actual Fimfic publication was November 15th.

Yes, it's September 29th, I'm aware. But I didn't do an entry for September, and I have time right now, so you're getting it a bit early.

As always, I'll start with the recap.
