It's that time. · 3:26am Aug 16th, 2015

Well, it's about that time. As much as I hate leaving things unfinished I just haven't been feeling much love for MLP in a while. The stories here no longer interest me and I really haven't watched an epsiode in at least a year if not more. Why am I doing this? I guess to head off any questions as to where I've been or if such and such a story will be continued.

He's not dead. He just left early to avoid the rush. · 1:20am Mar 13th, 2015

It's not often that the death of a well known figure affects me. When Leonard Nimoy died I merely said, "that's too bad" even though I was a massive Trekkie in my youth. When Robin Williams died I said, "what a shame" even though I thought his early stand up days were some of the funniest things I had ever seen. But this is possibly the first time I've felt actual sadness at the passing of a great author. As some of you may know, Sir Terry Pratchett died earlier today at the ripe old age of 66.

I've gone through a bit of a dry spell, not much in the way of inspiration and have a half-dozen things sitting on the back burner waiting for me to pick them up again.

Plagiarism 2: Electric Boogaloo · 3:29pm May 18th, 2014

Guess who's back? Everybody's favorite thief, "TheSequentialArtMan". He's back and hasn't changed one bit. In fact I checked his story and while he put some of the chapters away, a great deal of his first chapter is still lifted verbatim from "A Doorway to Another Place".

Plagiarism or "I couldn't think of anything so I copied you". · 10:49pm May 3rd, 2014

It's not a nice thing when somebody takes your work and copies it. I'm not talking somebody that takes the idea or even the concept and reworks it as their own. No, I mean when somebody goes as far as to actually steal your words and then acts like it's no big deal.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to TheSequentialArtMan or as he will be known from here on in, the thief.

100 followers! · 2:55pm Aug 19th, 2013

Finally, after more than a year, I've reached 100 followers. Yay!

I also notice that Doorway has been added to a new group, "The Good HiE List" to which I attribute these new watches, faves and thumbs up. So thank you to whomever added me and thanks to all of you both new and old that hopefully will continue to follow me as time goes by.

Language and online translators. · 1:35am Apr 15th, 2013

I log on today and find seven notifications concerning faves, comments and the like. Not that I'm complaining or anything, hell I think it's awesome that people are still liking my stuff but I got to wondering where these new views were coming from. Typically they're coming from google but a whopping 14% of the referrals came from some Russian 4chan type site called "2ch.hk". Specifically this link: http://2ch.hk/mlp/res/1557995.html.

I should have learned by now · 9:00pm Jan 14th, 2013

When I make decisions like not writing or putting a story on hiatus, suddenly I get inspired by something and wind doing exactly what I said I wouldn't do. I think my muse is toying with me at times.

Taking a bit of a break · 2:42am Jan 13th, 2013

I've been having a bit of writer's block for the past couple weeks. I pull up an unfinished story, stare at it, write a line or two but just can't get into the swing of it.

I'm still here · 4:49pm Dec 29th, 2012

Just a bit of an FYI for anybody still following or reading my stories. I'm still working on two more chapters for the Side Stories. Actually I'm only working on one of them at the moment that being how Sterling and Glenda met. The other is currently on the back burner and we'll see how it progresses.
