Somedays I get so frustrated. · 4:58am May 9th, 2019

There are times I get so frustrated that I just want to scream and yell, that I feel like I want to post long rants about what I'm feeling the way I'm feeling. Yet every time I do, I always stop myself because all I can think about is how either no one would care, or people would end up getting angry at me for how I feel. It seems stupid, I know, but history has shown that to nearly always be the case.

The 8th Rank - Story Notes (Chapter 1-4) · 7:52pm Apr 2nd, 2019

It's hard to say what the real origin of this story was. The idea of Gilda being someone of importance is one I've played around with in past stories, but never could make it work, and after The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone I sort of put it aside. As good as the episode was, it kind of broke my plot. That happens though and sometimes you just have to move on.

Headcanon: Random Ponies (and Creatures) · 8:16am Feb 6th, 2019

Since the last one went reasonable well, It thought I would write up more of my headcanons, this time focusing on some of the other ponies. Not much of a theme past that.


Gallus’s father was a pony who was turned into a griffon for a one night stand. He has no idea he had a son from it. This is why his colors are more like a pony then a griffon, and also why his mother abandoned him. Yes, it sucks.

Headcanon: On Alicorns · 4:24am Jan 23rd, 2019

Writing up some of my personal thoughts an alicorns. This is only my own and while my own stories will hold to it, you don't have to know it to read and enjoy them.

  • Alicorns are not Immortal

    While alicorns can live longer than most ponies, they are not immortal and age just like normal. The reason why Celestia and Luna are as old as they are is their connection to the sun and moon respectively. Being connected to a celestial body does that to a pony.

Looking Back, Looking forward · 7:26am Jan 2nd, 2019

So, last year was a bit of a crazy one for me. Not only did a get a number of stories put out (both here and on my FA), I also had one huge hit, which still kind of blows my mind. Outside of writing I also managed a trip to Tokyo plus a few visits to Disneyland, so that’s all good. Also managed to meet both my writing goals for the year (word count and days of work).

A quick name change from TheaWinters to Winter Quill · 1:51am Oct 4th, 2018

So, after a lot of thought, I've decided to change my name here on FiM Fiction. While Thea Winters is the feminine version of my name (which is Theo Winters for those of you who don't know). It's a name I've used for a number of years as well as the name of my first pony OC.

So, this has been a rollercoaster · 6:09am Sep 8th, 2018

I’m still kind of flabbergasted at how popular Sparkles and Scales has been. You always hope you’ll have a hit when you post a new story, but even this is beyond my wildest expectations. In just a few days this has become my most successful story on the site and probably during my whole time on the net (which spans almost a quarter century).

Sparkles and Scales - Story Notes · 12:50am Sep 2nd, 2018

This story started out from the very simply idea of Twilight becoming a dragon, but while still being close to the same Twilight we know and love. Making her a dragon is not a new idea, I've seen a number of stories (such as the excellent Flipverse) where Spike was a unicorn and Twilight a dragon, but the switch in species usually came with a switch in there core roles.
