Hey that's okay. It means you'll read it twice next time right? Cormorant must have read it too, he doesn't sound so good. I can't really tell about quik, but today was a good day for me. You 2 don't seem to feel the same way

Weird thing is today was a great day. Got paid, went out, bought lots of things and had fun, paid off money I owed.

And then got home, read nine chapters of Past Sins that are sad, but bittersweet and optimistic. Then chapter ten hits you like a freight train, and afterwards it actually makes you want everything to go back to how it was. It's amazingly powerful for a fiction based on multicoloured ponies.

But yeh. I tried writing up my new fic, reading yours plus a tonne of others somebody on the GTPlanet forum linked me as emergency happiness remedies, but I just can't concentrate...so yeh, sleepy time then.

Again what? but i dunno about the fanfic, like i said before I am not much for fanfics, i read cupcakes and it was so booringly written at times that i had to force myself to finish it.

thats the problem of fanfics though, they either have a dull atmosphere, or is written in a dull or booring way, as in repeatedly usage of words or dull descriptions of the world.

No offence at all though, it varies a lot

and for the record, I am a man.

This one isn't, trust me. Cupcakes has terrible writing anyway, is horribly overrated.

However Past Sins, isn't. I managed to read thirteen chapters one after the other, something I have never, ever done. What's more, it was stopping for breaks like...eating, etc that was the hard part.

It's one of the only times it makes an original character and you actually care about them. Trust me, give it a try, it's amazing.

not the thing though, the thing is the point of it, what is IS, not how it is written, that someone would actually write THAT about pinkie and rainbowdash... erwwwww BUT IT WAS DISGUSTING AND AWESOME

I know! Unfortunately, I don't think mine's an exception but I promise it will pick up. CG's latest fic sure isn't dull though

hahahaha x) But other than that: I've had my daughter here today, and my mom went away so it was just me and her, however since she has a wound on her foot she didnt really feel like doing anything else than watching "Alfons Åberg">_> but that was fine too, i have been lying in the bed watching that half asleep all day x)

There was plans about going out with my buddies to, but that got set off.. so that was a bit of a letdown... but then I also bought a new hero at LoL, however i suck at it.....

ANYWAY a good day which you made better so to say

and for the record, I am a man.

EDIT: This is answering the question about age:

In my opinion Rarity is probably the oldest, and Pinkie is probably the youngest. Pinkie still lives with her adopted parents (I always thought they adopted her because in the flashback she had the rock farmer parents, who looked totally different.) And Rarity runs her own business. Twilight is some sort of a student or intern, so she can't be too old, Fluttershy doesn't have a job, more just takes care of critters, I have no idea how old she is, Rainbow Dash is the same thing, no job, and Applejack still lives with the Apple Family but they always live together, Big Macintosh lives there but he's obviously older. She does family chore like things to help the business, she's probably a little on the older side. I don't know for sure.

I'm having a terrible day. Good god, I have braces (Don't think of me as too young, everyone says it's weird for someone this old to have braces, I'm years after the usual brace period, but anyway) and they got tightened yesterday morning. It's now been 24 hours and they still hurt like crap... I don't think it hurt this much when I got them on.

I'm about to read Past sins. Just opened the prelude, and apparently they added a chapter 11 12 and 13, it says new. Wish me luck...

EDIT: I just finished chapter 2 and I'm already tearing up. What the crap is wrong with me... I guess I can already see something bad is going to happen to Nyx. Oh, and I really just skimmed the prelude, did I miss something important Grunt?

No not really, it's just the setup to how Nyx is made.

If you're tearing up at chapter two, chapter ten is gunna kill you, but kill you softly.

Ah dunno 'bout t'at.

I'm procrastinating because I've rewritten the third chapter of my Halo fic 4 times now. D:

And then I came up with an idea for the future that is going to be an applebucker to get to a good standard to both fit into the fic, and not have a mob raiding my comments page.

I think I want to make a mystery fan fiction. Maybe an LA Noire crossover? Or just a basic mystery? Hmm? And I stopped after chapter 2 because I had to leave, and now I only have about half an hour before I have to leave again. Why is this week so busy? For the past month I have had to do nothing, and yet now that I have something I want to do (read Past Sins) I'm leaving all the time.

I dunno. On looking back at it, some parts fall dead, other parts lead to dead-end side stories, yet some other parts are amazingly written and kill you reading them.

It's so inconsistent it's weird.

I just finished. That ending was... so disappointing! I cried more when they took Nyx away then the ending ending. I am actually kind of relieved, the whole reason I cried was because I saw the ending coming, and it was pretty dull. The lead up was the best fan fic I've seen, but yeah. I didn't like the end.

No. That's exactly how I reacted.

I must be either really good at relaying my mental images to artists, or artists on DA are just psychic, but like my last piece of art I got comissioned, this guy just nailed it for me.
