It's Better to Burn Out than to Fade Away
By FireRain

Applause sounds more like a disease the more I hear it,
Claps of thunder and appraisal scream as they cheer and chant my name.
That is the price of fame: recognition.
It comes in the form of a storm and it shakes the world around you like the wind blows a leaf.
Shock caused me to stand stock-still when it first happened, sometimes even now.

My haters do an awful lot of complaining about the grammar in my fics.

Well this is aimed at non-haters, who can try to understand (Since my haters prefer to stick to their guns)

Well,

1: Nobody's Perfect, and as long as you get the idea of what was MEANT to be said, you can just go along with it. It's not like I'm writing a real book here, we all make mistakes, and heck, even my haters make errors (Some worse than I do)

At 8:30 CST, we'll be doing Screaming Closet on twitch. But not just any screaming closet. I'm going to be the one playing this time, and we'll be doing ALL of Doki Doki Literature Club. You asked for it, and you've got it. I have a soft spot for dating sims, and I've heard exactly enough to know that we need to do this on Screaming Closet, but nothing more. So, come watch me make distressed noises and high pitched squeals of delight/upset. And bring drinks. Drink everytime I'm upset.

The excitement of the nuke is behind us now, so let's see what happens in the aftermath.

With absolutely no lead in, Theresa wakes up in a hospital with Prime Minister Peter Blair standing next to her bed. She correctly guesses that the secret of HAL is out.

After watching her BBC montage, Theresa wonders if anything can go right in this world (while we wonder if anything can go right in this story). Apparently she has a ‘trademarked’ funny face, because her shopping assistant, Nancy, begins to laugh at how an eighteen year old with no experience in anything is supposed to take on such big responsibility.

Let me tell y'all a quick story.

The 2005 Pride and Prejudice film with Keira Knightley is toooo good. I've seen it before, and I liked it then, but for some reason it's better the second time around.

Can't wait for P&P Zombies of course.

As you might know, I have been working on a new IP for a while. My adventure in pony fics is far from over, but it will not be the only thing I do.
For a while I worked on Medium, expecting some sort of success, but Medium is incomplete, it has no view counts. As such I am moving my work to DeviantArt. I will still write on Medium, but many things not featured there will be on DA.

Instead of anything interesting, we are dragged through Theresa’s time at college. Boston College, to be exact. This is in alignment with the author’s Christian beliefs, Boston College being a Jesuit institution. We are then treated to a whole page’s worth of infodump about BC which Boutin seems to have gleaned from the introductory paragraph on the college’s wikipedia page. There is no reason for us to know any of this, unless the story concerns exactly the number of how many undergrads there

Okay. Whew! The story’s back on track. No more interviews or BBC montages to fill in exposition. Here’s a tip for anyone who decides to write a story with a first person narrative: the entire story happens from the perspective of the narrating character. This means that there’s no room for exposition to fill in any blanks that the character might not know about. Theresa even says at the beginning of the story that she doesn’t know how some things happened because she wasn’t there, even though

Hey readers! Got an interesting one for you today. Sort of a call-back, almost, to last week’s post on “pulp” not being a stand-in for “fun.” Once again, brought up by an online discussion I saw in a reading sphere.

FINALLY!

I wanted to update Friday and then I had fuss with two deliveries that pretty much rendered me too annoyed to do much more than collapse (hence missing an upload, sorry!). Funny how no one can find this place despite signs and maps... After paying for delivery, we had to get our own celebratory pizza and I still haven't had my other delivery for the grey mare, so I will hopefully get that one tomorrow.
