Because it's time for me to write an enormous blog post pretending I know what I'm talking about.
There’s a lot of bad clopfics on this site. I don’t mean that as an insult or anything, it just means there’s a lot of new writers finding their feet (and it’s not like I haven’t contributed to the mess myself). The fact, however, remains.
The more fiction I consume, the more I notice patterns. Pigeonholing subjective art is never going to be perfectly accurate, but there are generalizations that have some truth. Today, I’d like to talk about a pattern that is present in all fiction, but is more noticeable and more identifiable in fanfiction.
Broadly speaking, fiction can be divided into two types; those that are designed to conclude, and those that are designed to continue for as long as possible.
Hello my fellow horror-ponies!
As part of a "Halloween in April" thing I like to do every year, I've decided to do one of these contest things that are so popular around the site right now. The criteria will basically be to give me a stand-alone horror-story that is 2,000 to 16,000 words total, and put it in the Contest Entry folder of the group I'll be setting up.
Just thought that I would let everyone know who either follows me or my main story, that I have started writing again. I just sat down and had the urge to write something, so I’m flying by the seat of my pants and just rolling with it. Hopefully I will be able to get a lot of words out tonight, and have significantly more of my next chapter done for you all.
Thank you all, and have a wonderful night.

Well considering I'm about as consistent with my writing as a pothead sloth... I tend to over look little mile stones I pass with the few things I post. Like the last two story I posted this year Google Equestria (Probably the lightest thing I've ever written.) and Death Equals Life. Both got little achievements that I gotta give myself a little credit for despite me constantly saying I don't deserve it.

Here is finally a little blog entry to show that I'm still alive, now that I can say something hopeful about my situation. After a few stressful things that happened lately, among them one major writing fail, I feel some spirit for writing returning since a few days now.
HEEYOOOO, Everypony!!!
As you can see, I have released the first parts of both Meddling Memories, which includes a scene I couldn't previously fit into my epilogue of Lucky Chances (because it was about 800-1100 more words and I was already at 2.X k words) and simplified it at the start of Meddling Memories!
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!
Today’s post is going to be more about editing. Sort of. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
So first, welcome back readers! I hope you all had a good weekend! Especially with Episode 12 of Fireteam Freelance having dropped on Saturday. Was that a ride or what?
After much editing and revising, and not having a chance to have anyone proofread or edit it because my friends are busy, it has arrived! Chapter 11 of my FoE fic!!!!
Not British, but I loved the concept of this special occasion. I should probably read V for Vendetta again someday...
I’ve been caught in a dreg of OC stories lately (and more to come considering I just experienced something it would be remiss to not write a Raining-Verse story about it). A lot of them have been good OC stories, but nobody reads OC stories.
So here’s some good old-fashioned Rarishy (kinda).
I've moved in every random thing I had to from where I was living previously and I'm much more balanced in what I can do writing wise. I had to write stuff that wasn't as labor intensive for the last six months to not have some sort of stress related mess happen.
Doesn't mean I never looked at the chapter I had had wanted to start writing back in December, November whenever I last updated.
Hey everypony,
Remember last week when I said I was thinking about participating in the November Writing Challenge? Well, even though my apartment move in date was moved back again (Facehoof), I decided 'Sure. WHY NOT?' and have been writing like MAD!
So, I have some updates, albeit few. I've been working on another chapter for Beautiful Stories, and have also been hopping over to my official novel project and doing work there. Great news on the latter is that I've managed to finish the prologue (though, it is a tad short), and have already started up the first proper chapter. I've also written down some key notes to help me keep things straight,
