*Insert promotion for someone else’s story here*
Have you seen this story in the feature box? It's called "A Thousand Words of Noise". It's one of Monochromatic's newest stories, and to be honest, one of her extremely important ones.
Ok, I made a decent comedy story. If you wouldn't mind, can you guys go check it out? It's less than 2000 words and had up to 8 live readers at one time. I'm hoping to get in the feature box, but now there's only one live reader (me...). If you wouldn't mind, could you? Not trying to be greedy... But it'd really make my day.
Hey friends,
I'm going to beat the same drum I always beat -- if you want to be a better writer, you need to do three things:
1. Write (duh)
2. Get feedback on your writing
3. Adjust your writing based on the feedback
Repeat until you're happy with your writing.
Hi guys! So, another one of my friends is working on a story called Know That I Love You. It's a crossover story, but I won't tell you what, because then you'll have to go check it out. Anyways, go read it, because she is an amazing writer and this story is amazing and life is amazing and you are amazing so go read the amazing story.
I like to read.
A lot.
You should too! At least, I'm assuming you do, if you're hanging out on a fanfic-based community. And you should read. Read things other than fanfic, even!
Because sometimes, reading non-fanfic offers an opportunity to make your fanfic better. Which brings us to Jo Walton's Tooth and Claw.
Hey! I'm back for more advertising! My best bud here wrote his first story! It's a shipfic, but I recommend that everyone reads it, even if you dislike the ship/shipfics as a whole. It is amazing, honestly the sweetest story I've ever read, and on top of it all, written by my best Interweb friend! So go read it!
So now that everything slowed down I must say I am very surprised! I didn't think people wanted a new chapter from me so badly, got to front page and everything! It feels weird having a fan base, even a small one. It's like "Why are you here? I'ma fat guy who writes with the skill level of a lemming." It's good motivation either way, cus I'm already working on the next chapter. Not much else I can say than thank you, and you all stay amaz-a-tastic.
Well hello, FiMfiction. Are people still here? Or has the fandom dried up and blown away yet? People kept on saying that would happen. Or something.
So.
2020. It's almost over.
It's funny, as a year ago, I was in a rather optimistic place. I had a new job lined up! I was going to work on my writing! I even had some vague plans to travel abroad once I got settled in at the new gig!
So this is a thing, now.
Check out the original fic here. It's pretty great. It's seriously making me want to go and read the Stoppard play, and then write several thousand words about it.
I'm only half-joking.
Anyway, yeah, I read a thing. Should I do more of these?
My good friend Regidar has written an awesome new story. It is mighty thicc and also has two lovely perks such as: a) containing emotions and b) shrubbery.
If you like high-quality horse words and want to retain two functional kidneys, here’s the story for you.
I even got to read an early version at one point! A few years ago!
And yes, I’m back to writing my own main project and making good progress. No need to bug me about it.
Are you sick of staying inside all the time? Has your favorite story not updated in a bit? Is Ice Star not producing the adequate amount of updates you requested during the dark ritual you performed to get me to write more? Well, jeez, that's certainly a bummer. It's also not my problem.
But do you want to know something neato?
B_25 wrote me a gift! It's (aged-up!) Spike and Luna and it's very good stuff! All of it is very fluffy and cute, so it's perfect for quarantine. Go check it out! Thank you very much, B_Movie. 🖤
First off: I'M BACK! Woo! My time away was great but I'm also glad to be back.
SECOND: One of the best old ponyfics of ALL TIME has gone up to fimfiction: GO. GO AND GIVE IT LIKES AND PRAISE! It has a ten out of ten rating from me so much! LOAD IT WITH PRAISE.
It's rated M, but I think it doesn't have to be necessarily. It's being featured in LSB and it's still keeping the T rating.
So. It’s been almost a week since BC. I know most folks have already done followups. You’re probably tired to death of them. Hey, that’s fine. But, I gotta give my shoutouts to the people who deserve them. That being said… it’s been a hell of a week. So much personal stuff has happened that I’m sure there are things that just slipped through the cracks, so if I forget something, please forgive me.
So yay, finally an update. Once again thank you to the amazing Flutterpriest and Admiral Biscuit, for not killing each other in this chapter, or the next one for that matter. Now, onto some... things.

Happy Halloween! May you consume enough candy to fall just short of a diabetic coma.
I have been so quiet lately because I have been hard at work (also, I have some important happenings irrelevant to this blog) on some updates. One of those is a brand spankin' new story for Mother's Day. It has been in the works for a few years now. That's right, ya boi wrote a normal Mother's Day story. Probably.
