Things have dried up for me on the idea front, so I decided to join Camp NaNoWriMo this July to get my original fiction novel written. Sorry to disappoint, but it has to be done.

That is all.

I'm so hype! Seriously, this game looks really good, and if any of you are playing on 360, I'd love to have you as a Live friend.

If writing a piece of original fiction with a fake town, always know where said fake town will be. Either that, or actually base it on a real town that you've visited. I learned this the hard way.

Let's just say that I have a fluid setting outside of the United States that I need to resolve before going on with the story. Oh the first-world humanity!

... and two other miscellaneous facts you should probably know.

First of all, that phrase, as uncommon as it is today, was used to test the keys of typewriters to see if any of them were broken. It actually uses every letter in the alphabet without most people realizing it.

Secondly, did you know that the platypus is actually the only mammal that lays eggs? It's true; the platypus is classified as an egg-laying mammal.

I've told you guys about my two original works, Legionnaire: Sky of Fire and its prequel, Legionnaire: Raze and Destroy. Sometimes I feel like I talk about them too much. SO! This is your blog to post about stuff you're currently writing, and possibly give out a link for anybody interested. Feel free to take up as much space as you want to describe it, though I would prefer if you kept it as spoiler-free as possible.

I have found a solution to all my problems. Now on to the news!

I've hit a rut with L:SoF, and its prequel L:RaD is even worse. As such, I shall make a return to ponyfiction, and Father Mare is up first, considering I now know what I'm doing with the timeline. I figured out what to do with the gap, but then realized that I didn't put Rainbow Dash in it. Why, you may ask? I can't write her character for crap.

Now I bet you're wondering what's going on with the timeline for Father Mare. After all, we had "Wonderbolt Academy" in Season Three, which Soarin didn't appear in (at least to my knowledge), then Testing Testing, 123 and Rainbow Falls in Season 4. I understand the former wasn't so much based on the Wonderbolts themselves as it was based on Rainbow Dash learning about their history, but I figured it should add in.

If I were to create a Google document of my original fiction story, would you guys like to read it as I write it, or maybe even help edit?

If you would, I'd love to get some active feedback. It helps to know what people enjoy and what they don't before I have a scene complete, that way I can change it before I get it set in my mind. So again, I would love it if somebody could comment or message me about this offer. Comments are preferred, but messaging also works.

If you haven't noticed yet, I changed my profile picture. It's not that I hate Gorillaz now, or that I despise 2-D at all; it's just that I felt like a change was in order. When I found an image of Charlie Scene ponified, I knew it was perfect. And yes, I checked the other five images by the same artist, and I still thought that Charlie's was best.
