The Man Himself!

Having been a fan since the first quarter of 2012, MyHobby finally decided that participating in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom wasn't nearly as weird as he had at first thought. Deciding to share his not-weirdness with the entire Internet, he registered on to FIMFiction.net in order to publish his works without all of that silly "working with an actual publishing company" stuff.

He also decided that his best legal defense was to stick his head between his knees and kiss his portly rump goodbye. He hopes to this day that Hasbro will not notice the nerd currently making himself a nuisance around the Internet, and wishes them many a long season to come.

He seems to be physically unable to work on any one story at a time. Eesh.

Pinkie Pie is his hero, just saying.

So is Rainbow Dash, but slightly less so.

Edit: In the Absence of Twilight Sparkle Chapter

Just wanted to let you know I made a mistake on the most recent chapter of ItAoTS. I erroneously described Dr. Twilight's lab as being on the ground floor of the Magic School, while its actual location is the second floor. This is kinda a big detail to just switch around.

I Made an A.I. Re-Write Scenes from my Fanfics

This is partially to make up for National Not Writing Month, which I participated in by not even writing a single thing last month. November is always waaaaay too busy for me to make much progress (I'm busy doing my part for wildlife conservation), and it turns out the current state of the world did not change a dippy-trippy thing.
But anyway! A.I. writing fanfic!

DayBreak Reading Part 2

Just thought I'd drop a link to StraightToThePointStudio's reading of the first scene of chapter 2 of DayBreak, where Luna and Twilight speak with Care about the attack on Celestia.
A little voice acting, a little ambient music, a little taste of DayBreak from a different perspective. Or medium.
Check it out here!

Rhythm and Rhyme Postmortem; The Origin and the Point

“MyHobby!” you say. “Where did the story come from, and why were you teasing it for literally four years before you actually started writing it?”
Rhythm and Rhyme was originally a much different story. It always centered around Button Mash and Sweetie Belle, maybe more so than the final product, but it has its roots going back many a year. I recall it being the first near-future Ponyville story I ever devised, and yet, it came out as one of the last.

The pony version of Grey's Anatomy looks very different from what we're used to. Fictional physiology is best science. Also, FoME's term "cutiemorphic" is my new favorite adjective.

I'm sorry I never answered your question! I have no excuse, save that it slipped my mind.

I'm really super sorry!

Griffons using the kaboom kapowski powder is mostly a background element after Lord Mayor Applejack. They "invent" guns and use them frequently in DayBreak, and later we see their military using cannons and the like in Rhythm and Rhyme.

In both stories, said powder serves to give them a one-up on the mostly-magical enemies they face.

Other than that, I think I've been sorta low-key on the gunpowder usage.

So no stories about Griffons using the Kaboom Kapowsky powder to blast boulders? Unless it do,and is simply not enough to happen in a separate story.
