    Hey guys! What's new?

    So, I haven't been here in a good long while. I got the writing itch a while back, specifically for ponies and my old Betaverse fics. I might have something in the pipeline. I've got a few questions I'd like to ask the general pony-reading audience if you don't mind. Just so I can see if my writing style should be tweaked a bit for the modern audience.

    Stardrop's Lackluster Ending

    Hello everyone. I know I've been away for a while, but that's due to me deciding to finish stories before I post them to revise, edit, and alter them to give you all better stories to read. I don't feel free to do so when I post stories live. This results in me getting frustrated with how a story is shaping up and then dropping it. That wasn't a problem when I was younger, but it's become one as

    Anyone know artists who do illistrations for stories?

    I'm low key working on a story which I intend to complete before posting. I'm enjoying being able to go back and improve, tweak, and change things to make the best possible version of the story, and it's nice to not feel like I am bound to a strict schedule of uploads.

    A metatextual analisis of "The Bureau: XCOM Declassified" to show how it fits in the series timelines

    A lot of people like the rebooted XCOM series, and a lot of people also insist its lore is bad/nonexistent. This isn't true in my opinion, but is the product of the game that sets up the world for the series having been released a year after the first game in the series as a prequel, and also it sucks ass to play. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is not a good game. At all. The story is really good,

Next chapter uses a lot of unicode, folks! · 2:15am Jul 9th, 2019

Hey guys! So for this upcoming chapter I found myself in need of a way to show something without a character being aware of it and well, Gears is the POV character so, that was hard. I did find a way through, it involves unicode characters.

Now, FiMFic supports unicode, so the story will display proper on a desktop running a modern OS. If you are running something else, you are going to see quite a few square boxes like this []. Howeaver, I have come to you with a solution!

It's a crappy solution, but it's all I got.

If you are using a mobile device, IOS or Android, make sure the operating system is freshly updated. That's the only way I can find to make sure you have support for Unicode 12.0 (I think I only used 7.0 characters, but you never know...). After that, you'll need to search for how to enable Unicode text encoding in your browser of choice.

If you are on Windows or Mac, and for some reason it doesn't work, you'll need to search for how to enable Unicode text encoding in your browser of choice. Fortunately, Firefox and google chrome should automatically be using Unicode to make displaying other languages easier :3

If you are on Linix and it doesn't work, may Celestia have mercy on your soul if you approch THAT rabbit hole.

If you can't do any of that, don't sweat it. To be honest, it might be a more creepy effect if it's just empty boxes, and well, I'm going for creepy :pinkiehappy:

Lenny loves unicode. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Linux and Unicode, for when you absolutely positivily want to bring down an alien invasion fleet. :trixieshiftright:

Using Chrome, there's a desktop display mode that usually works for these things.
