An Apology (of sorts) · 3:54pm Dec 17th, 2015

Hello to all *checks* 69 of you who follow me (HA HA HA! Sexual Innuendo </Harvey Birdman Reference>)! As I'm reasonably sure most (if not all) of you have me followed because of stories I've written (and one story in particular), I'd like to take this opportunity to disseminate some information regarding updates to my published stories.

Equestrian Calendar Concept · 3:38pm Jan 21st, 2015

In writing Act 3, I was re-reading through some of my older notes and discovered a rather disproportionate amount of world-building devoted to a single line in chapter 11.

ECE+121:228(8:23)

Apparently, I had created a relatively complete specification for an Equestrian calendar system, and then promptly forgot about it.

So, without further ado-

The Insessence of Grimdark · 3:34pm Jan 1st, 2015

Some time ago, I watched a youtube video (mistake, I know) discussing the origins of so-called 'Grimdark' MLP fics and the most popular fics in general, using the example of the ever-infamous 'Cupcakes'.

Outsiders Act II · 5:18pm Aug 28th, 2014

I write rather slowly.

Not all the time, though. I am capable of maintaining a good 1500-2000 words/day rate when I'm feeling especially creative, but by default, I tend to write slowly. This is entirely related to the fact that I can only write anything of any decent quality in the few hours prior to going to bed (around 1-3AM), much to the consternation of my special somepony, who has an insatiable desire for snuggles.

Outsider Surgery. · 4:21pm Jul 2nd, 2014

As I indicated in the AN and comments of the chapter 'Team Fifteen', I was required to get surgery to correct a trivial minor painful extremely aggravating design oversight that has been plaguing me for the last few months (apparently not using your gallbladder means that it can potentially break. This is supremely stupid, in my opinion).

The Crystallic Alphabet · 2:37pm Apr 28th, 2014

I have a bit of a... thing for exotic or otherwise interesting written languages. I don't know the exact quality that I find so attention-grabbing, but it's a thing for me, and I have entire folders on my computer filled with tables of various alphabet symbols as a result.
