Sibling rivalry - aka Dafuq is Shining Armor? · 10:32pm Jun 30th, 2012

When you read through my works (I know I start blog posts with that kind of sentence way too often), you may have noticed that there is no mention of Shining Armor or anything that happened at the Canterlot Wedding altogether. And there is a simple reason to that. Well, first a little bit from something not so completely different.

Wet work - The principle of the Magic Flow explained · 12:18am Jun 30th, 2012

Having read Splitting aMid the Night, as you obviously have, because you would otherwise never have found this blog post, you should have seen how I introduced the idea of the Magic Flow. To start out, let me summarise what it is, then I'll say what it isn't and how I got to it, before finishing out with a bit of theorising (aka why Midnight has access to the Flow).

The Flow is:

The Name Game - Why I do things how I do them · 10:44pm Jun 28th, 2012

After reading through all of my works and constructing an altar for me, as you obviously have, you may have noticed how I treat ponies' names. If you didn't - shame on you - then here's a small summary.

Yellow items suck - a pladoyer against Rarity · 5:43pm Jun 28th, 2012

I think that, although it's not shouted into your face, it should become fairly obvious to you when you read my works that I don't like Rarity.
Of course, I won't blame you if you do like her, as long as you don't make any stuff like Rarity x Fluttershy.

We need to go cuter - Against self-insertion · 12:10am Jun 25th, 2012

Look around you. I bet you 50$ that, over the course of 3 days, at least one story about a human in Equestria or some kind of OC which is basically just the author's self-insertion vessel will be in the feature box. And yes, I'll hold you to that. Contact me if you're in and we'll start the 3 days. I'm preparing the invoice.

Blood on my hooves - How I got so awesome (Warning: Sarcasm) · 1:18am Jun 23rd, 2012

Character development. It's really, really tricky. In fact, almost everybody seems to have problems with it. I'm not saying I'm doing it perfectly and everybody else is wrong. No no, there are people out there who are far better at it than me. But still, you have to give your characters some personalities. How do?

Do as I say, not as I do - A brief rant on the topic of repetition · 4:06pm Jun 21st, 2012

Let me start this post by telling you a bit about myself, which is necessary because I know you didn't read my bio, you lazy!
A bit after the season finale to S1 had aired, I decided to give ponies a try after hatering them for some time and instantly got hooked. Great, right?
