Being a Better Writer: Tension · 10:51pm Dec 2nd, 2019
Welcome back readers! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving weekend! Or, if you’re from a place that doesn’t celebrate that fairly American holiday, a good weekend all the same.

I'm finally getting back into the community after Covid burned out my central-nervous-system over 2 years ago, and I'd like to promote my long-time favorite social network, which I'm excited to see taking off, Mastodon! Y'all should try it! It's open source, non-profit, community run, and unequivocally the best social media experience I've ever had!
Follow me on Mastodon at @Raccoon@Pony.Social.
Behind Him Chapter 6, “Open Space”, is finally out! Again, really sorry for how long this one took, I hope to have a more consistent schedule in the future.
That PMV I kept shoving in people's faces around the time I wrote Beginnings and Endings got featured on Equestria Daily! Yay!
Here, let me shove it in your face some more!
Is the YouTube thing finally going to work for me?
Commissions are now fully open. If you contacted me while they were closed, let me know:
Commission Information:
-Flash fiction stories (500 word short fiction, preferably keep it to things I know like ponies, Super Sentai, Power Rangers, Kamen Rider ect.): $5 each.
It's getting chilly and wet and cold here and, frankly, I'm just not down with that! Things are still currently looking busy going into the very start of winter here and I'm booked up until December 6th, but I'm keen to make sure everyone has a chance to get a story from me this side of Christmas! I will be taking a week off between Christmas and the New Year as normal, so only have December writing availability up to Christmas Eve. :)
January commission slots are now FULL and February commission slots are now OPEN! Open to write anything and everything, from vanilla to extreme in NSFW and, of course, fantasy, adventure, romance, slice of life and more on the cleaner side of life! Whether erotica or clean works, all is exceptionally welcome here!
Hello! No new chapter yet, but finally I could draw a proper cover for the fic! Also made a Playlist for it bc I really love these ponies and story
And here are my social medias in case you wanna check my other drawings <3
Outside the Jinglemas, I was part of a smaller secret Santa exchange. Which means I also wrote this story for Monochromatic. Well known RariTwi shipper isn't satisfied with her two faves, had to get greedy and throw in a third. Now, you might think that it's actually 50% more shipping, but a ship between two people creates one relationship. A three way ship is *three* relationships! This is, mathematically, 300% more ship for your ship.
Since it’s coming in a few days, it’s time to hype The Open Road! Thing is I’ve always sucked at hyping stuff lmao, but dammit I’ll try. I’ve shown it off before, but I’ll throw the cover art in here again, as well as the description, an excerpt from the first chapter, and a thematically appropriate song that you’ll likely ignore.
WARNING: This blog is going to get a little dark and also questionable, so if you don't want to deal with any of what I'm about to say, feel free to step out. I have a gut feeling a lot of what I am about to say will be controversial to some and won't sit right with others. I'm going to be getting into a lot of deep, personal territory in this one about childhood abuse, neglect and verbal abuse and physical abuse. Thanks.

Iron Author 2022
Iron Author 2021 was closed last year but it’s time to spring forth with a new round in my favourite month of the year! Winter is drawing to a close here and it is time for spring to appear (I promise not to start singing MLP songs, though Winter Wrap Up is particularly apt), so let’s get cracking with a good list of discounted mini story slots!
And so it begins! From here on in, I'm going to publish my reviews on Thursdays. I'm coming to really like Thursdays, as they are by far the easiest of my work days. Usually I'm done in 3-4 hours, and the only reason I'm not out of the office faster than that is because of a meeting we have to attend at 9:30 that takes up around an hour of our time. At any rate, Thursday is essentially my 'catch up' day, so let me get started, no?
Stories for This Week:
It's been busier going into the last quarter of the year this time around and all November slots are now FULL and December commission slots are OPEN! I will be taking time off in December from the 24th until the new year, so definitely hit me up early if you'd like a commission slot! I'll endeavour to pop up more reminders so that people are aware of what is available and when. :)
You cannot be going through that mirror ANYMORE just to spy on your human doppelgänger.
Hello.
Long story short, the one thing I've wanted to do and talked about for so long is to start a band of my own. A punk rock / grunge band inspired by the 1990's underground rock scene. So, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, etc. My overall tone and sound that I have in mind comes from these bands.
Looks like June slots are GONE (pending payment from a client for the final slot of June) and I have July slots available now to purchase! So, fancy a steamy or sweet or adventurous story commission? A mare has most certainly got you covered!
