Art is a fascinating thing. It's nice to look at, first and foremost, since that's what traditional art is meant to do. Look nice, sound nice, read nice, all of the wonderful ideas carefully placed, row by row. Present it to the person, the one on the other side of the canvas, screen, sitting in their seats, standing in their museums. Wrap it up nicely, wait for the praise. Good job. Thank you. Smile. You did a good job.

I wasn't able to watch the episode until right now, but damn, those songs were catchy as balls!

... Get it? Catchy? Balls? Because you catch balls? Yeah? ... No?
...
Okay.

I liked the episode, but rather than go into an in-depth review since half of FimFic has that covered, I'll just type up what I will expect from the fandom in the coming few days.
-Remixes. Lots and lots of remixes. (Which I'm personally looking forward too. Because catchy as the common cold.)

He's trying to give me a heart attack. I'm sure of it. First I stole acquired his art for First Meeting, then I find that thing! I'm mostly convinced that he hates humans and is trying to get rid of them one HNNNNNNNGH at a time.

Pure evil.

It's currently 9:15 pm. I just put up a new chapter of Synchronization, I've got the first Arctic Monkeys album blasting in another tab (Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. Look it up, freaking genius, my bright red lava lamp (which inspired Long Play's) is the only light in my room, and I am tired as balls right now.

The more quotes from Twain that I read, the more assured I am that someone could write a story using only his quotes.
...
Okay, maybe not only his quotes, but it's entirely possible to use his quotes as the only dialogue in the story. In fact, that sounds like a really awesome exercise. I might have to type out a oneshot like that one of these days. That would be pretty sweet. If one of you decides to steal that idea, link me to it, yeah? Sweet.

Well... a couple of things have happened over the past two days. I spent most of yesterday in a very nice charcoal grey suit, giving a prepared speech, a speech I made up in one minute, being interviewed, helping other high schoolers give their own speeches and interviews, and when I came home I was pretty damn tired. I logged into Fimfic and was greeted by about 130 notifications, 102 of which were meta. So I said, "Oh, shit."

And Synchronization was in the Featured Box.

Hi... So, uh, I kinda did a writing thingy. And it's not a normal writing thingy because it's a sequel. So... yeah, Synchronization, the sequel to Syncopation is now out and I know that a few of you have already read the chapter and there's a good chance that you're already notified about it, but...
I'm an attention whore!
Here's the link! I hope that you all enjoy it.

Yo. It's midnight over here. I should have been asleep hours ago, but I stayed up playing with Not-Photoshop (I use GIMP, in case you're wondering). My new avatar was the result. Ponified me all dressed up for something or other. Ummmm... I'll be updating First Meeting in a few days, barring extenuating circumstances... so that's a thing. Anyway, main point of the blog is that Fimfic users often depend on avatars to recognize people more than a person's name, so I thought that you should

I'm not a fan of coming up with names, they always feel a little off, as if their not really capturing the characters the same way that names do on the show. I always end up putting a lot of time into names when I have to include an OC in my stories. (Off the top of my head, there's Ma, Pa, Snap Shot, Quick Quill, Vinyl Record, and both Harmonia and Long Play to a degree, though I'm not the one who came up with Long Play's name.) I wanna quickly run down what I've noticed about pony
