Indefinite hiatus. I might still poke my head in from time to time, but I'll be surprised if I add anything new.

Annual Update · 9:42am Jun 18th, 2017

In my mind, this site exists frozen in time. My interest in the MLP community as a whole has waned greatly, and I only find myself wandering back here as a sort of nostalgia.

What I've been up to · 8:24am Apr 27th, 2016

I enjoy writing. I really do. But it doesn't come easily to me. I can't pour my thoughts onto a page like so many others; I have to pick and choose and lament every detail to the exclusion of any kind of work flow. It's slow going for me. A Spark Neglected took me months to write.

Saligia: A Eulogy · 9:37am Dec 23rd, 2015

I'm sorry about Saligia. That was way to ambitious and also very pretentious. I might revisit it later, but don't hold your breath.

As you could perhaps have inferred (and which I may well have stated outright in the past—my memory is pretty poor), the concept behind this story was sinfulness innate in one's personality, exacerbated by an exterior force. In simpler terms, an entity that brings out the worst in people (ponies).

Update · 8:57am Aug 17th, 2015

Things have started to settle down, and I've been feeling a lot better lately. I'm beginning to feel the urge to write again, but I am disinterested in the most of the things I have planned.

100th Episode Review! · 9:49am Jun 17th, 2015

As the credits roll, I wonder if the things I have just seen were even real. Surely these abominations could only have been the byproducts of an overactive, cynical imagination, and not the fruits of actual labor from actual humans, making what they thought would be a fantastic episode of a fantastic show. Surely, our god is not so cruel to have allowed something like this to be created, with or without malicious intent.

In case you haven't noticed... · 6:12pm Jun 15th, 2015

I'm essentially on hiatus. I hope to start writing again within the next couple of months, but don't quote me on that.

I recently moved and getting all of my shit together is draining a lot of my time, plus I just plain haven't felt like writing.

Meh · 11:25am May 27th, 2015

I haven't written anything of note in something like 6 weeks. I don't really have an excuse for this. I just haven't really been feeling it. I really want to write, but I've been blocking hard. I've had several neat ideas for things to write—most of them pone—but nothing has happened on that front. I probably won't be able to write much over the next couple of weeks, as I'll be working on moving, but after that... we'll see.

Anyway, about those story ideas:

Woops · 6:35am Apr 5th, 2015

Well, first off, I finished a chapter for one thing, but I'm hesitant to publish it because, without the second chapter, it probably won't make much sense. You can read it here. Just remember that this is just the first part of a thing and is hardly indicative of where that will go.

Also, I said like less than a week ago that I was going to focus more on short one-offs and I DON'T KNOW WHY I SAID THAT

One-offs, the future, and a business proposition. · 6:27am Mar 30th, 2015

Seeing how well HkdS went over, I think I'm going to stick to the short format more often. I still have three major long-form fics that I'm working on: Impurity, which is what I've been working on lately; A Greater Cause, which has finally begun to take shape, however rudimentary; and Saligia, which kinda fell by the wayside. I hope to continue writing Saligia by maybe this summer; I want to get out a chapter each for both AGC and Impurity.

Computer is not kill, and HkdS thoughts · 5:19am Mar 22nd, 2015

Computer is fine somehow. It's running weird, but it runs.

So that story I mentioned? It is up now. It's a short little one-off vaguely inspired by JazzTeeth's End of the Universe stories. It was an impulsive write, maybe like 4 hours working time over a week. If there's any repeated lines or ideas (that aren't clearly anaphora) then that is why.

I also just realized that there are now fewer than 2 other stories with the same title ("Curse of Immortality"), so I might change it.
