I'm gonna marathon seasons 5-7, two Equestria Girls movies and MLP: The Movie and review them for kicks · 12:55am Nov 17th, 2017

Through a happy coincidence with ferret I started talking with my old fimfic friends on skype a few days ago and because of this I discovered that apparently ponies are still a thing. Who knew? Anyway, ferret convinced me to marathon all the seasons/movies that I’ve missed and blog about them (not that it was that hard).

I’m doing this for three reasons.

It's been some time, hasn't it? (Addendum added) · 5:11am Aug 21st, 2016

A friend of mine, who's changed his name so many times on here that it ceases to matter who he is, recently asked me to be the 69th downvote on his fic "for the lulz", as the kids would say. So, I indulged him. Having finished the deed, I went to logout of FiMFic, planning on slinking back into the night. Something stopped me, though, and instead I clicked (somewhat narcissisticly) on my own profile. I spent an hour or so just reading over old comments on fics that feel like they were written

Alexmagnet and the Curious Case of the Extended Hiatus · 4:49am Sep 19th, 2015

As you may have noticed if you obsessively check my page everyday, which I'm sure all 900 of you do, I haven't really posted anything as of late. The long explanation for why that is involves lots of things but mainly it can be summed up by the ring I now wear on my right hand (also I got both mono and appendicitis over the summer, yay!). Yes, despite my preoccupation with writing funny horsewords I still somehow managed to find a girl who not only could tolerate me, but even went so far as to

I Regret Nothing (A Minific Competition) · 1:35am Jun 24th, 2015

So, a while back there was a minific competition for the writeoff group, and after talking with my friend Kierkegaard, I decided that I would enter... but not under my own name. I have written anything for a writeoff in a long time, and I thought it would be fun to write under a pseudonym. Eventually that evolved into Kierkegaard and I writing under the same pseudonym, since we realized that there was nothing in the rules expressly forbidding multiple people from entering under the same name. I

So about that new episode... · 4:01am Jun 14th, 2015

Seems like everyone and their arthritic grandmother is talking about this episode. Well, I haven't watched a single episode of this season yet, but I thought what the heck. I'll give this one a shot. I've been seeing a lot of mixed reviews about, so I figured it would at least be entertaining to vehemently disagree with people, and boy was I ever right. Read on for my full review.

Alexmagnet Explains: Ignatius Donnelly—Professional Crackpot and Discoverer of Atlantis · 2:39am Jun 4th, 2015

Hey! It’s this thing again! Man, it’s been quite some time since I last did one of these. A lot’s happened since then, but none of it is important to this blog, so let’s ignore it and move on.

Well... the link is live now. I'll probably start in 10 or 15 minutes after I've prepared myself with the proper beverages (read: beer).

Unread Letters From a Friend at the End of the World — Update on Second Chapter · 4:46am May 28th, 2015

So, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? Sorry for the long silence. Life and all that. Anyway, I'm here to tell you about something I'm going to be doing tomorrow, something that should be rather fun. See, for the last few months I haven't had the urge to write anything, but just recently that urge came surging back like a... something that rhymes with 'urge'. Anyway, the point being that I want to start writing more chapters of Unread Letters From a Friend at the End of the World, and I

A Platonic Dialogue About Fate or The Allegory of the Road · 3:55am Apr 15th, 2015

So, I had to write this thing for my classic literature class called a "creative flight" and it was to be a creative writing exercise in which I could write about any subject in a creative way. Well, since we'd been talking about fate vs. free will with regards to The Iliad and The Oresteia I decided it would be fun to write a discussion of this in the form of a Platonic dialogue. For anyone who doesn't know, Plato wrote most of his work as a dialogue with his teacher, Socrates,

Everyone's Doin' this "I Write Like..." Thing · 4:49am Feb 9th, 2015

So, sure, let's see who I write like. This could be fun, right? Sure, why not. What does Letters read like?


Wait... that doesn't seem right. I thought it was supposed to be a famous author. Well, whatever, let's try a different fic and see if that fixes it. Let's try Legality Abnormality.


Huh... What about Live Free or Reinhard?
