Equestria Girls: Cyberpunk. · 11:16pm Jul 18th, 2016

I'd been planning EqGverse as cyberpunk for a while-- Shadowrunish without being a direct shadowrun import, with the Awakening being semi-artificial, the result of the events of the movies.

Robust societal changeling integration without yellow stars · 10:03pm Dec 5th, 2015

There are a number of fics that explore the consequences of integrating friendly changelings into Equestrian society en masse. One of the obvious problems is that of unrestricted disguises and the ever-present possibility that creates that anyone might be, or have been, a changeling, meaning that anyone now has a (theoretically) plausible alibi ("It was a changeling taking my shape, I swear!"), even other changelings. Bad as allowing arbitrary accused criminals to escape justice is, it

So this weekend, I'm recovering from my third Covid shot reaction and trying to scrawl out a new chapter of How Twilight Learned and discovering that there is an update to an old favorite story of mine.

Ghost on Worldbuilding 2—The Teleology of Technology -or- Revolvers in Equestria, Yay or Neigh? · 4:47pm Jul 13th, 2015

Hello my readers... uh. Um. Damn. Plum ran out of adjectives.

Mm...ah!

Hello my readers augusti et augustae!

Well. It'll have to do. For now.

(Warning: Long post is loooooong. If you just want the Equestria bit without me ranting about... oooh, all manner of thing, just read sections I, V, and VI.)

The Pony-Me Universal Framework · 10:45pm May 21st, 2018

Alrighty, so for those of you who are interested in a document with all of the info on the world of Pony-Me collected in one place, or for those interested in working on the collab, here's a thing I've written.

The document below the break goes over everything from the setting, to the lore, to even the economic feasibility of Pony-Me based on current e-commerce and DLC practices.

Being a Better Writer: Don't Neglect Your Backdrop · 5:51pm Feb 7th, 2017

Apologies for the delay. My other job scheduled me for several Mondays in a row, and I wasn’t able to get this post done well enough in advance to make the release date. Next week’s post should be done more in advance, however.

There was a post I made here, once, where I brought up the “painted on backdrop.”

Orbital Friendship Cannon · 3:09am Jun 5th, 2017

...because just in case I need them, I am exactly the sort of person who would sketch out the plans of a satellite-based system capable of delivering a hot, fresh beam of Elements-weaponized Harmony (tm) to any point on the surface of Equus in under ninety seconds, along with notes on proper operation.

Why do I mention this?

So that I can publicly pledge not to consider placing the Crystal Heart in a second such system and calling it the Satellite of Love, of course!

WASS - Possible Spinoff · 3:46am Apr 19th, 2018

While Ben's adventure is barely begun, I am starting to think of a way to include some world-building info which might not fit into the main narrative: namely, the back story on Mule London's history after the Event. I have already conjured up a founding figure for the city (hence its name); and hope to figure out how they preserved a bit of civilization in a world overturned.
