Wintergleam

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while: take stock of my years here, not just on DA, but in the fandom in general. Part of that goal has been to compile and centralize my old posts and journal entries on this site.

I don’t know if these will be meaningful to anyone other than me, but I’m leaving this directory here all the same.

In SFM, I’ve been as prolific as ever. I’ve kept up my obsession with the Zebra Empire, and created visualizations for various bits of Fallout Equestria’s extended lore. Now, if only I could get someone else to use my zebra flag. Plus, I finished another super-secret FoE project that will change the game forever in 2024, once I have permission to release it. I even made a few g5-themed posters, envisioning it as a series that was actually interesting. But there’s one thing that stands out above all the rest… I finished it.

While I was in Italy for my archaeology field school, I kept myself engaged with the fandom by becoming a prolific* take-haver on Twitter. I've penned a few interesting threads on various writing topics as they relate to pony, but the nature of the site means it's a pain to find them.
