Anchor Foal: Updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/342886/anchor-foal-a-romantic-cringe-comedy

I swear I'm not trying to make everything last-minute.  I swear the world is trying to make sure I have to do everything last-minute.

I still have a chance to get the projected story schedule up before October hits, and I'll do my best t...

A Confederacy Of Dunce Caps: complete.

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/195040/a-confederacy-of-dunce-caps

I'm sure it'll give TD comfort to finally be able to put the official Not Recommended on it.

A September hoped-for-update schedule will be posted on the main blog tomorrow.   Let's see how many other deadlines I can barely reach...

A Mark Of Appeal: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal

This is...  a major chapter for the 'verse. 

This is one of the big things.  Something that's been in the master plan since the first day.

This is probably going to get a lot of people mad at me.

Downvotes:  incoming.

A Confederacy Of Dunce Caps: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/195040/a-confederacy-of-dunce-caps

I also posted a new chapter on Anchor Foal today, but as promised, that story won't get a post charge until/unless it updates in September.   This one, however, gets to join it for a double-update Sunday.  And if we're very lucky, there may be ...

Anchor Foal: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/342886/anchor-foal-a-romantic-cringe-comedy

As promised, there's no additional post charge for any new chapters which appear on this particular story in August.  I just wanted to put an update notice up for the few who might see it here first.

Fleur has her plan.&n...

New continuing story: Anchor Foal

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/342886/anchor-foal-a-romantic-cringe-comedy

Welcome to my first venture into the Wild World Of The Romance Tag.

The first chapter went up today.  There will likely be at least one more before the end of the month (and possibly before midnight tonight), but if so, anything els...

New story: A Good Trot, Spoiled

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/341417/a-good-trot-spoiled

In which everypony learns why golf is a scourge on the multiverse.

(I'd usually say more, but I think that just about sums everything up.)

New story: Good For Nearly All Princess Labor, Public And Private

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/340612/good-for-nearly-all-princess-labor-public-and-private

I made it, at least for my time zone.  I made it by a pretty narrow margin -- but I made it.  The hoped-for July update schedule is complete.

Please don't ask me about anything for th...

Triptych: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/101769/triptych

It wound up being the shortest chapter in the story's history -- which, given that it's this story, meant it still came in at over five thousand words.  But if I did my job right, then some of them are meaningful ones, and the Wild Mass Guessing page on TVTropes just might see a new entry or tw...

A Mark Of Appeal: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal

Now three for five on what I'd originally been hoping would be the month's postings -- pre-chaos.   As said in the blog post, I think I can get to four:  I can't guarantee the last.  If so, Good For Nearly All Princess Labor Public And Private will be the piece po...

A Confederacy Of Dunce Caps: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/195040/a-confederacy-of-dunce-caps

So as the last comment on the story would suggest, happy 2018!

Seven new short stories: Sick Little Ponies (And One Dragon)

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/338433/sick-little-ponies-and-one-dragon

Four notes.

#1.  As promised in my blog post, this counts as a single Patreon charge.

#2.  I'm an idiot.

#3.  You'll understand why I'm an idiot when you see the results.

#4.  Again, ...

Knotty Logic: a July freebie

Given the way this month has been going, there's a tiny chance this could wind up being the only posting and as such, I should probably be hitting the Charge button -- but I promised that if this one went up, it would be a freebie. And so it is.


At least it works out some of the frustration.


Optionally read and optionally enjoy. Or I op...

Scootalift: complete.

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/201365/scootalift

And so the June projected schedule is kept.

...I'm gonna go sleep for a week.

Triptych: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/101769/triptych

I promised two new chapters in this story on the update schedule/desperate hope/self torture itinerary this month, and that much promise, I've managed to keep:   the second is now present and accounted...

A Confederacy Of Dunce Caps: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/195040/a-confederacy-of-dunce-caps

Can I do two more story updates in the two days I have left before June runs out?

Place your bets.

(Or, better yet, don't.  Betting on human activity is never the best idea.  Humans could do just about anything, for good or ill...)

Triptych: Updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/101769/triptych

Got it in before midnight EDT, so that counts for Sunday. And now I only have to post three more story updates before July 1st hits in order to match the target list I posted in my blog entry.

Mi...

Rainbow Splash: a June freebie

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/331677/rainbow-splash

I actually wanted to have this one up to close out May, but got stalled somewhat.  And I'm hardly going to promise a freebie every month:  some periods will be busier than others, a few might be rather slow, and I don't want to risk overwhelming anyone.  (As always:  i...

Post Negative Comments Only: completed

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/219197/post-negative-comments-only

I didn't think I'd get it done in May.

I got it done in May.

Surprise?

A 6K run to the finish line.  And I'll say this here:  for the most part, the Continuum stories have tried to hold to that one line on the 2016-05-26 16:39:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Post Negative Comments Only: update #2

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/219197/post-negative-comments-only

As promised, it's up before the end of Wednesday -- and as also said, there's no charge on this one, because if I hadn't had to stop on Sunday, there was a chance both chapters would have gone up at once.  That's my pacing issue, not your financial one, and so this...

Post Negative Comments Only: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/219197/post-negative-comments-only

As said, this current stretch is about getting the queue a little closer to clearing a few things, and getting this story back under way is an important step in that direction. 

I'm putting this 4K chapter up now, with another coming along by We...

A Mark Of Appeal: updated

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/131321/a-mark-of-appeal

We're about to head off for Parts Unknown.  Or in this case, Parts Previously Unvisited.

The next post will also be a story update, and one that's been waiting some time for such to occur.  As will the one after that -- and the one after that.  It's going to t...

New story: Trav(ap)est(r)y

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/328981/travapestry

Cleaning out the queue, cleaning out the queue...

This is another one of those concepts that's been sitting around for a while, and with the most semi-likely next update being a new chapter for A Mark Of Appeal, I wanted to get back into the rhythm of writing the sisters.  And I ...

Goosed! is now posted at FIMFic

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/325181/goosed

I apologize for the delays on this one.  It's a case of Things Having Come Up (not all of which Came Up with me) and having to use some time for helping others when I had been expecting to have it for writing.  The story also wound up being a little longer than I thought it would be, coming in ...

The post edit system is annoying

Highlight text to choose italics, boldfacing, et all.  To stop et all, highlight text again and...

...if your first thought was "pray," bad news:  I've already conclusively proven that doesn't work.  Oddly, randomly clicking elsewhere on the text window does seem to work.  Occasionally.  Or maybe that's just coincidence.   Trying to paste a bit of non-formatted text in order to continue from there mostly l...

The Hays Code: a May freebie

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/327670/the-hays-code

Right now on my FIMFic blog, we're talking about previously-written stories which I might consider submitting to Equestria Daily.   (Actually, people are voting on the three to initially be submitted.  Check out that page to join in.)    The old Motion Picture Production Code c...

If I Gave You Diamonds And Pearls

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/326079/if-i-gave-you-diamonds-and-pearls

This one was completely unplanned.  For the first time, I can honestly say I've written a pure reaction story.  I had no thoughts of doing this until I woke up far too early this morning, and then -- it just came out.  Four thousand and sevent...

Pinkie Pie Has Infiltrated The Changelings' Secret Base!

"Infiltrated."

(Which is the single briefest story description I've ever written, and the one which made the short and long descriptions for the official posting.  I may edit the latter, but the former is staying as-is.) 

This is a non-Continuum story (they happen) which arose after I essentially lost Tuesday and Wednesday to somebody else's emergencies.  There may be a blog post about that later -- but ...

Check your pledge caps

Before I put the next story up (hopefully by Tuesday/Wednesday), everyone should examine the exact wording and numeration of their patronage.  I'd really rather not hit any individual with something they're not set up for and didn't want to do, and if anyone neglected to cap off their numbers, the time to edit is now. 

Or, put another way:  on Tax Desperation Day in the States, make sure you have all your receipts in ord...
