That 100th episode · 5:56pm Jun 13th, 2015
I don't even care if you think it was all pandering and memes. I laughed like a madman. 10/10. Flawless episode.

Something about oneshot dark comedies starring Discord seems to capture the imagination, I find. Rest in Chaos has almost outpaced the success of Just Dodge! by now, and Just Dodge! was also pretty damn surprising in how many people liked it. But one thing I can say about Rest in Chaos that I can't say about Just Dodge! is that it's now inspired two dramatic readings.
Yes, for real. Check it out here:
We have a new dramatic reading! I haven't had one of these in a while.
The Borderworld now has a TV Tropes page. I always hoped it would happen one day. It's been just a little over two years since I officially started the Borderworld group. Near enough all my fics these days are set in this shared continuity, and I've also used the group to post worldbuilding essays and supplementary material for those interested, but those have
Those of you who aren't writers, and even some of you are, would be amazed at how many ideas I generate (and how many I throw in the trash) on a daily basis. At any given time, I usually have about sixty projects open in my writing folder. An idea may stay in my folder for years before I eventually decide to scrap it, usually after salvaging anything of value from it to incorporate into my other writing, or at least into my worldbuilding notes and essays. Why, it was only recently that I
I've left it three days now to give everyone a chance to vote, so I think it's time to close the voting for the moment and draw conclusions. I didn't get as much response as I hoped for, but that's why multiple votes were allowed, and there was certainly enough data to show a few favourites. Something Cosmic was the most popular choice, standing at five votes out of the thirty or so total I got. The runners-up are World War Discord, The Warlord, and I Who Stood Before
So, hey. It's been a while. Recently, I published two new fics, The Devil's Dues and A Word With You, My Friend? Both of them got an okay reception, but neither of them really exploded like my duo of Discord dark comedies did a while back. Not surprising, but it does highlight the fact that people aren't always necessarily interested in what I write. Well, since I've now cleared out most of the stories that I was close to publishing, I had a thought. What if I let my followers
Some good news of readers of my very first ponyfic.
It's another of those blogs where I link to stuff that fans have made based on my stories, and this time, it's a translation! Specifically, somebody went to the trouble of translating Just Dodge! into Chinese. Credit for this one goes to Green Onion Nutritious. Obviously, I do not speak Chinese, so I have limited ability to comment on it, but it's a humbling gift to receive
I just posted chapter 2 of Van Helsing. I wrote another blog when the story was first posted, encouraging people to read it, but it seems it didn't get many takers. Maybe this might sway you. I said already that each chapter pays homage to a different vampire story... well, chapter 2 is the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure chapter. Specifically, Phantom Blood. It contains Horse Dio, musical references, vampires, and
Not a day after receiving a dramatic reading for Rest in Chaos, I got another one from an entirely different person for World of Traitors. I have a feeling that this is going to start being a common occurrence.
In my continuing quest to eventually have decent cover art for all of my stories, both old and new, I commissioned some for Discord: End of Empires from Arylett-Charnoa, who previously did the art for my latest endeavour, To Keep the Fire Burning. As you can see, I went with kind of a metaphorical take on the concept:
General question for readers of Human:
What? What else do you think we should be celebrating?
You got something to say?
Fight me.
Okay, so as you know, it's a week before Halloween. I have no costume, and no idea what to be. Got any ideas?
I've received quite a few audio readings and art pieces over the years, but it's a rare and humbling thing for someone to go to the trouble of translating a story of mine into a whole other language for a new audience, and it's happened for a second time with Just Dodge! This time, SPANIARD KIWI brings us a Spanish translation of
I waste so much time on writing essays and background material and worldbuilding shit for the Borderworld instead of actually writing chapters. So much, in fact, that some of my Skype friends have begun referring to me as Danny Jidya, because I uncover and explain the DEEPEST LORE. I blame Posh for that name. Fuck you, Posh. Fuck you and your Solid Snake adventures. When are you going to give the public Cupsnakes like we all want?
Behold! Following an apparent rule change, I was able to finally publish the two stories I wrote for the OC Slamjam starring the character of Agent Redwood. You may remember that I blogged previously about their removal, but they're back now. The one real stipulation was that they had to be compiled as one story rather than separate ones, so you can now find
I've gotten a lot of dramatic readings before (most of them for Rest in Chaos), but receiving or finding a new one always makes my day when it happens, especially if its for one of my more overlooked stories like Agent Redwood.
