Structural Changes to Legends, hopefully making things more concise and digestible · 5:56am May 14th, 2013

Hello, hello.

I've been thinking a lot lately. Generally speaking, that's par for the course as far as I am concerned. What has my mind in a knot is this idea that Legends really is five stories in one, and the whether or not it should be posted as a five story series or as one giant collection. At the moment, it is grouped together as one story, to be told in five Acts. I have found this to be disadvantageous for a couple of reasons:

The Greatest Double Entendre Ever · 6:36am Feb 23rd, 2013

Over the course of the past week, I found myself flipping through the Oxford English Dictionary for no real reason. (Actually there was a reason, I was looking up "ocher" because I wasn't sure of what color it stands for.) Now I'm the kind of guy who can get infatuated with a dictionary, following a chain of noteworthy words like links in a Wikipedia article.

Update on where things are · 12:46am Feb 10th, 2013

So, hello all.

For the past month and a half, I have been buried up to my neck in school work, and I haven't been able to get around to the writing as much as I would like to, but I want to make it absolutely clear that I am not going anywhere. Legends of Equestria is bigger than me, it's by far the largest project I have ever undertaken, and I'll be damned if I ever let it fall by the wayside.

Future (~2013 for the time being) · 3:00am Dec 14th, 2012

Okay, so this is some unfortunate news, but in the end it will be a positive impact on Legends of Equestria. I submitted the story a little while ago to Equestria Daily and they wrote me back with some rather legitimate concerns. Some of the issues were so glaring (in retrospect, at least) that I am honestly shocked I didn't see them at first. Since I want this story to be the best it can be, I am sorry to announce that I will be on hiatus for some time while I search for an editor. Acts I and

Immersion: A Warning · 5:19am Dec 4th, 2012

I think that I should take the time to offer a warning to any other prospective fic writer that might get inspired by my work to try something similar.

Don't try it unless you are prepared for some major lifestyle changes.

Discord v. Celestia: The Two Universal Viewpoints · 7:01am Nov 21st, 2012


The conflict between Discord and Princess Celestia is quite possibly the most fascinating one that this series gives us. At its core, chaos versus determinism is the root of so many common themes in fiction that it is almost universal. What`s even more interesting is the fact that nature teaches us that neither one is best. The two must exist in tandem to achieve proper function of this grand system that is the universe.

For example, I like to look at snow:
