Two blogs ago, I mentioned having a May Pairings fic completed. Well, this is it!

Everybody Needs Somebody (inspired by the Dean Martin song of the same name) came from an idea in an abandoned fic that never got off the ground. Namely that Equestria Girls Kibitz (still an assistant to Celestia, albeit in a more mundane sense in the human world) was sweet on Granny Smith.

I'll cut my usual preamble and get to the blogs point. Three Steps Back is going on a semi-indefinite hiatus. This may be dissapointing to you, especially considering this is the second fic I've put on hiatus recently, but both have good reasons and they're interlinked.

My authorial intent has been hitting something of a brick wall lately. While in my blog post two weeks ago I suggested I'd focus on Three Steps Back, I instead opted to use the May Pairings contest to advance some EQG 'verse plot lines I'd been working on. These failed spectacularly, with 4k words that...aren't *awful* but severely bloated and info dump-y. So, that went on the back-burner. This in turn led to Monday To Friday, 9 to 5 which is also a mess, but one I

So, since As Time Goes By won the SunsetxEqg villain competition I got to choose the next theme. I didn't need long, having had an idea for a long while.

Like many authors, I tend to be drowning in ideas. Notes, snippets, story outlines. Far too many to do anything with, or that I feel I can do justice. Thankfully there's excellent people like Silver Notes out there who can take these bare bones (in this case "What if Wallflower found the Pony of Shadows instead of the Memory Stone") and put flesh on them in

Like all fans of...well any media, I'm a shipper. I also like minor characters and crack ships, this gives me a lot of options. One minor character I rather like is Micro Chips, the guy's a cliche nerd straight from a 1980s high school movie and built a death bot, what's not to like? Despite him being a minor character he's had just enough scenes to get a vague outline of his character, especially some interesting characterisation. Take his ending in "All the worlds off stage", where he commits

It's been an interesting time as of late.

It's been a good month for Twilight Sparkle, Diamond Dog, Genius, and all around target of my muse. Or at least half of it. With a brand new chapter in Three Steps Back, we delve into her home life and past somewhat. Elements of the differences are mostly apparent, though some are ambiguous, with a few even tied to as-of-yet-unwritten fics.

As Time Goes By is my first foray back into comedy after 'Snug as a bug', 8-9 months of seperation doesn't seem like a lot but it certainly feels an eternity!

The idea of this came from the SunsetxVillains competition requiring a native Equestrian partner for ol' Shimmy. While I had a few ideas floating around (Sombra as a 'Chamber of Secrets' style pen pal to a pre-mirror Sunset held some possibilities I wont lie), I kept gravitating back to Blueblood.

So, let's clarify something.

Three Steps Back isn't cancelled.

I know I removed it from the Sci Fi contest, that is despite initially stating it would be my entry. That's my bad. It pretty much comes down to this though, it was getting too damn long.
