>when in the final editing pass before posting, you realize a "princesses" was left in, despite they not being such in the story
Yeah, such is when certain characters are always depicted in the same era, and the same roles. Conventions are a powerful thing. I also got used to "princess" so much when I referred to Celestia or Luna in the story, that early on, I actively hunted for the moniker to edit it out.
They aren't princesses. Not yet.
Just a funny thing I wanted to share.

I'm about to fucking leave this shit behind. After Council is fully posted, I won't write a single word. It's just all pointless. For what, that 30 upvotes? Please. I'm a relic of the past, that thinks he can make it with his relic-of-the-past stories. I just won't bother. I'll just walk off the stage, thank you.
There is no shame in admitting defeat when you're beaten, innit?

My long-time friend, The Psychopath, recently reached a milestone in his writing endeavors, and published a full-lenght novel for the first time. Reverting Scales is a fantasy tale, starring a dragoness named Naydrus. If that's up your alley, follow the link provided. And if you read it, tell him what you think, authors love feedback!

My first long-form story, By the Will of the Council, featuring a young Celestia and Luna, is getting released... NOW!
Accompany the not-yet-royal sisters on the first of their many journeys that shaped Equestria, and find out about the past they never spoke about.

Hello to everyone reading this (all five of you, yes)!

If you've been wondering about the radio silence recently, and thought I abandoned what I was writing, then I have some good news: My story focusing on Luna and Celestia is almost complete. (I'd say, the manuscript is 95% written). The way I put that (the absence of "Princess", and also, the order of their names) is on purpose.

As of yesterday, I've been a Fimficcer for two years. Not much has changed since the same time last year. I published one story (two if you count the one I unpublished), so you could think things are slowing down, and I won't even create anymore...?

I thought "No Explanation Necessary" could break 4000 views by the time it reached one year old. I was wrong. It already did.
So holy shit, a LOT of you like random bullshit involving the funny green man. It has more views than all my other stories combined. It has more votes than all my other stories combined. It's the elephant in the room, and compared to all the "effort" I put into it, it is by far my most popular fic.

As of today I've been a part of Fimfiction for one year. I'm kind of a latecomer, yes, but I only felt so inspired last year to actually make an account, and start publishing stories. I hope that inspiration won't wane, and I'll be here in the years to come.
If you came here, you might as well read some statistics. In one year, I have:

• Published 29 360 words, spanning 6 stories
• Wrote 4 blogposts (including this one)
• Accumulated 28 followers

I think I finally realized my ars poetica. It could be summed up in this one simple animated image.

Expect more stories, just don't expect them to strictly adhere to canon (or at all).

Hey my dear Followers!

Here comes another (mostly) unnecessary blog post from your homie, Neckbeard.
So here's the deal: I wrote this really silly one-shot story, the one I tagged, and how, I'm still not entirely sure, but it got featured. It was in the featured box for three days straight, and it even hit the #1 spot for like, half a day. I know this shouldn't be a big deal, but this was the first time it happened during my short Fimfic career.
