    Why I Haven't Been Writing

    For the both of you who remember me, I'm sure you've grown disheartened by my lack of content for the past year or so, and my occasional promise to return, which has so far only proved empty. I wish I could say the reason I haven't been writing was for the lack of time, but truth be told, I've got plenty of that on my hands these days. It's not lack of ideas or inspiration, either. It's closer to

    Just Assuring You I'm Still Alive

    Still haven't giving up on One is Silver, despite what it may seem. With my new abundance of free time and weight off my shoulders, I hope to update within the ambiguous time span of soon. Gimmie like two weeks and I'll see where I'm at with the next chapter.

    God, I must be slower than George R. R. Martin.

    Back in the Saddle (For Real this Time)

    Yeah, it's really high time I got back to writing/editing Silver. I'm seeing this thing through to the end, you wait and see.

    I'm actually almost done re-writing Pinkie's chapter, so I'll have that typed up soon and pass it on to horizon again soon after. I don't know how extensively he'll end up reviewing it. It feels like the training wheels are coming loose.

    Back in the Saddle

    Well, I've had quite a break from writing. Moths, in fact. There was a time where I was just writing and editing almost constantly, then I basically came to a screeching halt when summer hit. College has been keeping me on my toes now, but I'm taking fewer units this quarter, and I feel more confidant that I can chip away at my writing now without falling behind. I'm about 1/4 through the

Checking my Pulse + Pointless Poll · 5:21am Jul 7th, 2013

So for the sake of sheer curiosity, how many of you actually intend to follow Silver as it is published, my dear few subscribers? I'm curious as to how many of you are only following on paper and have since moved on from the day you clicked on it. Beyond my editor Horizon and my close friends, I don't know if I have any truly faithful readers. I keep posting about it, but I feel like a stage performer who can't see his audience--for all I know, I'm shouting into dark, empty space. I am at no point ending work on this story, but it's always so encouraging to hear that I'm getting through to someone who isn't obligated as my friend to like it. Some shout to tell me you're still there would be appreciated.


While I'm at it, who's up for a quick poll, assuming there are those of you out there that would actually respond?

Since the premise of the story is the Pony canon as it would be if it had been for older audiences, what would you expect to see happen/appear in it? What would you like to see?

Behold. My audience. :fluttershysad:

Well, thanks for following.

Dante, I give you these wise words of wisdom: if you have a story to tell, tell it. If people listen to you Great! If they don't, then that's fine too, just keeping telling your story. Because some day some where someone is going to click on it and go 'Hey, that's a pretty damn awesome story' and in that moment it's going to be sorely disappointing if you gave up on it because you thought no one would care to listen. On a lighter note I think I just aged thirty years just by typing something that serious.

Thanks for the kind words.

Someone already did find it, actually. The guy is now my editor and mentor.

And of course I'm still writing it. I could've sworn I mentioned that. The only thing that can stop me is some cruel twist of fate that ends my life.

I just wish those listed as my subscribers would actually follow through and read the thing.

On the side, if the 94 in your username corresponds with your birth year, that actually makes you older than me.

Imagine that. ^.^
