Hey writers and readers! Max here with a quick query.

I’m putting together some new stuff for LTUE 2023, and that includes redoing some of my old cards. Some of you undoubtedly found your way here or to one of my books because of them, but for those who don’t know, I give out cards with cover images and free samples of the book via a QR code on the back.

And so another year draws to a close, taking its share of ups and downs with it as it steps aside for the new. It’s been another long year, but we made it again.

As long as we keep looking up and moving forward, it can be as good a year as we want it to be. It won’t be perfect, of course. The world’s still a mess as always and there’s still things that need fixing and choices to be made. But what’s a new year if not a fresh new chance?

Happy New Year.

17 hours, not quite as long as last year, but to my very honest surprise, I met my goal again; a grand total of $1031 this year.

So now I have a Heatonist Hot Sauce box to order and a mock Hot Ones episode to plan.

Thank you everyone for tuning in and donating, wrap up post coming in the morning when I'm not half asleep!

Things I wasn't expecting about my trip (as of present) to Seattle:

I just found out this game shut down today. Honestly, I haven’t played this game for about two years or so but it was still a fun game to play. I’m really going to miss it. It was enjoyable while it lasted.

RIP Transformers: Forged to Fight. Gone but not forgotten. ✊🏼

Hey folks! MagicalPony2099 here!

Well... just watch this video.

Hinga Dinga Durgen!!

Hello everypony! It has been far too long since I last logged in. Going by my previous blog post, it has been over a year since I've been here. I've had some ups and downs between now and then. Unusual nerve issues had caused me to resign from my job. I did return whenever the extra help was needed, but unfortunately they are no longer in business. Back in May of this year, I was unexpectedly hit with a collapsed lung and spent some time in the hospital. Within the past month, I returned to the

A surprising 4.4% to 5.5% of FimFiction stories published in 2022 were de-listed!

A year ago, I blogged on Year-2022 stories and identified the following published totals for 2022, which can be compared to this year.

I'm back home from Ciderfest 2023, and it was something. As always, the panels were great, I got to talk with and see some very cool people. It's what's expected, but I love it each and every time I come.

The big new thing was that I got to sell my book there. It was at the After Dark Vendor Hall and I even got to work and help run the AD Bookstore on my first night there. I went in, bringing twenty copies of Pinkamena: Beasts , and hoping I'd be able to even sell five.

Alright! Announcement time!

I will be attending Mare Fair 2023 next week! I'll be there for the entire con, and, most exciting of all...

I'm hosting a panel!

My panel, "Stranger Than Fimfiction", will be on Saturday the 30th from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM! On it I will be discussing writing, giving advice, and sharing the whole process of working on pony fics! The synopsis to it can be found below:

Where I am, it's 6 pm and that means in half an hour the Super Bowl will begin.
Philidelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs, who are you rooting for?
Personally, I'm rooting for the Eagles. Although I wouldn't mind if the Chiefs won too.

So passes my second Brony convention!

They moved to the Dayton convention center, making for less potential for impressive photos but also much more elbow room.

I felt like I had a better time, owing to a much more organized board game room that I ran about 6 hours worth of pony-themed games in (Buck Legacy, Adventures in Equestria, etc). The business kept me very active and made my free time very valuable. Maybe next time I'll make a proper panel...

And when I say that, I mean I'm just thinking about what games I want to attempt to play for 24 hours.

Last year was all Halo, and the tiredness really set in when I lost the last of my audience 21 hours in.

So maybe, maybe some Halo Infinite, if Season 5 brings Firefight, and we finally have the package we should have had at launch two years ago.

But that's not what I'm primarily looking at. What I'm considering this year is:

Side-scrolling platformers.

Full disclosure: I was crazy busy today with cooking and had company over for a potluck!

Yes we are at another St. Patrick's Day people! ☘️ Here's videos for those of us who are at...questionable levels of sobriety today:

Happy New Year to everyone, let's hope 2023 will be better than 2022.

I say this rather ironically due to it legit being in the 40s and RAINING all day today! Man Midwest weather (Michigan specifically) be a whole other situation than anywhere else! All the same, brace yourselves:

(I mean it's not cold cold, but it's also almost 7pm and currently 41 degrees.)
