I know this has been brought up before by other people, and this is hardly a new topic, but fimfiction's tagging system could be improved. I understand the need for simplicity, and I like the array of tags that are available. They do a good job encompassing most of the stories that get posted on this site. The biggest issue I have with it is the conflicting tags thing. Do people seriously think that comedy and sadness can't exist in the same story? Or that an adventure story can't be

So today I came up with my new favorite euphemism for kissing: salival onslaught. Look for it when I release the next chapter of Fool In The Rain. I'm not sure why I thought this deserved its own blog post. It guess it was one of those heat of the moment things. It's not like anybody's going to see this, me posting it at midnight and all (or whenever it is in your time zone, you handful of people reading this. Probably even more of an ungodly hour there). Sometimes you just have to do things.

On the off chance that anybody remembers me saying that I was pursuing a lot of music stuff, I just wanted to share some of that. I've now settled back into writing stories again, but for the months that I wasn't, I got to do a lot of cool stuff.

First, I played Cliffs of Dover on clarinet, like a boss. I also managed to do it sideways, because I'm fucking spiderman (actually my computer can't read the video file so I can't edit it or anything).

Is something that I haven't done for a while now. I've been off and on since September, but no more! I've spent the last week or so actually being on here, reading other people's stories for the first time in god knows how long, and writing. Hell, I've even got some proofreading jobs that I should probably be getting back to. It feels great. I remember a point where I thought all of this was boring, but I guess taking a break leaves you refreshed, because now I have no idea. So yeah, expect to

So I was doing research for a project in my Environmental Science class (and by doing research I mean half assing the shit out of it because I'm a senior and I've already been accepted into college), and I was about to search "Does AIDS cause birth defects", but I only got this far before shit got fucked up.

Now if that didn't make you loose your faith in humanity, congratulations, you can stand up to pretty much anything.

I'm not including the story title in the link because I don't want you to prejudge this. But if you do follow the link, you'll find that this author has done this impossible. Forget the most dangerous game and all of that. THIS guy has taken the worst genre in all ponyfiction and used innovative storytelling and a great sense of humor to bring it to life. I fucking love this story. To me, it's the essence of what good fanfiction is about: taking a shitty medium and trying to make actual art out

I'm officially done high school sports forever (because fuck spring track, I ain't doing that shit). I'm probably going to start working 20 hour weeks at the grocery store, but that still leaves me with a lot more free time to write stuff. I had already started the next chapter of Daring Do and The Lineate Latus, but I don't think I'm going to finish it just yet. I am, however, planning on writing the third and final chapter of Fool In The Rain. It only took me a year to get around to it, but

If people cared as much about elections as they did about arguing over what color a picture of a dress is, my country would be a much better place. Also, I've noticed a pattern in things that break the internet. First we have Kim Kardashian without a dress, then we have a dress without Kim Kardashian. Spooky, amirite?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, this video by SciShow might help:

The title pretty much says it all. The group is gone entirely, no site posts or anything indicating why it was gone, nothing at all. My first instinct is that somebody maliciously deleted it by becoming a mod in the group or logging on to a mod's account, but I also don't want to say that that's likely and jump to conclusions, given that I know absolutely nothing. If anybody does know something about this, please tell me. I'm actually pretty fucking pissed off that it got deleted by someone,

This book destroyed my faith in humanity, but the reviews brought it back. This is true proof that Amazon reviews are the highest form of comedy known to humankind.
