I don't currently have any stories in the works although I do have one or two ideas that aren't sufficiently developed yet. So I will throw open the suggestion box. Is there anything that you might like to see done in my style of writing that you think might appeal to me? Are there universes that Mark Wells hasn't visited yet that you'd like to see? Let me know!

So, I've started another Human In Equestria story – Beginning Anew. How is this going to be different from the hundreds of others on this website?
