I'm a musician, songwriter, and erstwhile actor and improviser, with a BA in theatre and a minor in Latin. That's the short version.

As of about a minute ago, I submitted Derpy's final "Misadventure" story.

Derpy's Final Misadventure · 6:26am Nov 4th, 2015

I have a confession to make:

I have perhaps not always put in every ounce of effort I possibly could have in writing for this website. I have oftentimes been lax in editing, have taken the easy way out on certain elements of storytelling, and have generally not given everything that I could have here. The reason why is simple: This is just fanfic, and I'm not getting paid for it.

Thanks for all the support! · 6:34am Nov 24th, 2014

So, my ridiculous crackfic "Arthur Saxon Beats up Tirek," has been featured, I just noticed. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. I have never had a story featured on FiMFiction before, and it's pretty cool to see it happen, even if it isn't representative of the rest of my body of work.

Thanks to all of you who read it, liked it, or favorited it.

I promise I'm working on something! · 11:03am Nov 11th, 2014

I'm going to have this new Derpy fic submitted by the end of the week, I hope. It's nearing a final draft, but the dialog is being really touchy with me in terms of phrasing things for best effect. What's more, I'm having to piece this together very carefully so that there's enough exposition for the reader to get what's going on, but not so much that it's just "and then this happened because of this, this, and this."

Gonna be a little late with this one. · 8:01am Nov 1st, 2014

I'm working on a horror-ish Derpy Nightmare Night fic. It's gonna be late (obviously) because work took too much time for me to finish it in time for Halloween. It will probably post some time next week. It's going to be the second of the series to depart from my usual policy of going for the "Everyone" rating on these fics because I just could not find a way to play horror straight and keep it within those bounds.

New Derpy Fic on the Way · 9:59am Aug 18th, 2014

I don't guess anybody really follows this blog, and with as many notifications as FimFiction dumps on anyone who is in any significant number of groups, I can't say that I blame any of you.

However, for those who care, there is a new "Misadventure of Derpy Hooves" in the works. It's the longest yet, and deals a bit with Spike and his backstory. It's untitled, as yet, but I should have it finished, edited, and posted within the week.

Vindication Much? · 6:50am Mar 23rd, 2014

So, we have an episode where Luna willfully manipulates dreams, and a projected potential future of Rarity as a bedraggled recluse.

I'm not normally one to say I told you so... So, I won't, but you're all thinking it.

Of course, due to the TVY rating, we didn't actually SEE the heroine, but you all know it was in there somewhere.

Something on the Way · 11:14am Feb 11th, 2014

Let me get one quick thing out of the way:

I'm about to start going through all my stories and reformatting them so that author's notes are where they should be, given the changes to the system since many of them were written and posted. There will probably also be a bit of editing done to most of them to correct any clumsy narrative phrasing or grammatical errors I run across. No changes to the events of the stories themselves will occur, however.

Now, for the main event.

That did NOT go as I had planned. · 1:17am Dec 15th, 2013

Well, I posted a new Derpy fic, as promised.

I really wanted this one to be something sort of happy and comical, more like "The Greatest Day of Her Life," but as my stories tend to do, it went rogue on me. I guess Queen Chrysalis just isn't quite as primed for comedy as I had hoped. Not for me, anyway. Katy Cook doesn't seem to have trouble making her hilarious.

Derpy's Back! · 10:18am Oct 24th, 2013

I had so much fun writing "A Nice Cup of Tea," that I'll probably be punching out one or two more "Misadventures of Derpy Hooves" some time in the near future. Of everything I do, that seems to be what people like the most, anyway. I've already got one idea, but I won't be starting on it for a few days, at least. Like the other two stories in that series, it probably won't run more than ten or twelve thousand words.

Keep on the lookout for it.
