I will be on the Fanfiction 101 panel thanks to my friend Super Trampoline! Go read his stories, I insist!

Due to some unforeseen issues, I will not be hosting a panel at Babscon. I am definitely going though, so feel free to brohoof me on the convention floor, or ask me about writing.

And now, for April Fool's Day...

Who took the time to read through my entire fic and point out everything I did wrong with several impressions! I must admit, I'm flattered.

I'd practically forgotten it thanks to my crappy job! Alas, I am no longer 27, a perfect cube: 3 by 3 by 3. I'm a math nerd, it was cool. Now I'm 28, which (while still somewhat interesting mathematically) is not quite as interesting as 27.

Hrm... I suppose I could just pretend to be 27 from now on.

I didn't get the job I applied for at the Denver Museum of Natural History. I've volunteered there for two years straight, with more hours than the average volunteer logs in three, and I still didn't get the job. Maybe one of my other applications will go through, but for now I'm exploring a new job option with a local contractor. I'd basically be doing the same job I'm doing now, just for a little more money and more reasonable hours. Here's hoping I get it and hoping that the first damage to

I have been invited to speak on a panel at BabsCon 2014 in San Francisco, April 18th through the 20th. I'll be talking about fanfiction in general, how it drives popular culture, and of course how to write a human in Equestria story that doesn't suck.
