Whatcha reading? -Don't go outside by Wolokai-

Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

Damn, I'm nervous. Going to start working again, tomorrow. Brand new place, maybe a different position than from where I'm started. I keep going 'What if I'm late? What if something happens on the way there? What if it's worse?'. Oh, well. Nothing I can do about it now. And as I write this, I also found solid directions to get there and also figured a way to not get stuck in traffic on the way there. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Ah-rumph. Now, let's go and explore some more Fimfic together.

As I browsed, I noticed a strange trend to this brand of Fanfiction. Among them, there are a large number of ones featuring tags such as Tragedy, Dark, Sad. You'd think a show as happy as FIM wouldn't have much in that department, and instead, it has many. Like the infamous Cupcakes, which you will forgive if I don't provide a link for. So, today I'm reviewing such a fic. Don't go outside by Wolokai. A good piece which focuses on classical horror, and which made me go back with my mind to the first Resident Evil...

Whatcha Reading? -A night (to try) to remember? By zaptifun-


Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

So, ready to follow me in my exploration of MLP:FIM fanfiction, most of which can be found at Fimfiction.net? This time it's a normal fic, as in it takes place in the canon universe of FIM. No crazy awesome X-Overs this time, but there's plenty of fun to be had, and I feel like recommending it to people new to the series and its fanfiction. Before getting to the review of A night (to try) to remember? by zaptifun, I need to enlighten you to one of the unwritten rules of Brony Fanfiction: Big Mac goes with everything. No, it's not a call for more McDonald's meals in your daily diet. Big Macintosh Apple is the eldest sibling of three, brother to Applejack and Applebloom, all members of the Apple family in the series. He's the stallion (alias male pony) with the most screen-time and lines -even if most consist of repetitions of Eeyup and Nope- and it comes naturally for him to be shipped with basically every mare in the show. In this case... Well, I don't want to spoiler anything. Let's get to the review, shall we?

Fictionize


Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

So, yesterday, I was engaging in a conversation with a few friends about how TFF (The Fanfiction Forums), the den where I formed my trade over the years, is running dry of creative juice. Mostly because the bulk of the forums was the Naruto section, but with the fandom slowly going stale and our only admin closing up registrations and disappearing on us, it's also because of a lack of new blood, and also of being in line with times. New fandoms have been appearing left and right, but the TFF has no sections for them. And again, as I said, no registering. So, the source of much brainstorming and happy memories was going stale, I was losing it. I couldn't allow that to happen. And as such, I've taken a decision.

A couple of my other colleagues have tried it. They couldn't get past the starting stage, eventually gave up. Why? Well, because they could and did only publicize their endeavor in our old forums. They didn't publicize it to other people, to their fans. To you, who are what makes me keep writing. We've always been kind of a little elite, not actively looking for new recruits. I now recognize that was a mistake. That is not going to happen in my Fanfiction Forums.

Yep, that's right. I declare, here and now, that Meinos Kaen is going to open up his own place where everyone can come to read, write and discuss everything, fictional or not. A den where much insanity and I hope inspiration will be born for you future writers. Everyone is invited to join it, no level or genre of writing will be prohibited or frowned upon. I... I'll even... NNNNGH! Yeah, I'll allow Yaoi. It's going to have it's separate section, but it's going to be there.

The name? Well, they're going to be called The Fictionize Forums. Where anything can be turned into fiction... And entertainment. Be it Fanfiction or Original Fiction, you'll have a place where to share and get better at your trade and have some more direct feedback than what you get on Fanfiction.net, from authors old and new. We're going to open up soon, feed this blog if you haven't done it already!

Meinos Kaen out!

Whatcha Reading? -FO:E Project Horizons by Somber-

Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

Well... Seems like I'm done for. I mean, I give up. This new fandom has taken me. It demands my attention, it demands my talent. I'm talking about Fallout Equestria, of course. And since it has successfully made me start my very own fanfic, I thought it would be nice to give you some background. My fic considers as Canon two particular stories that give it its background: the first is obviously Fallout Equestria by Kkat, which I already reviewed on this blog; the second one is the dark Project Horizons by Somber, and when I say dark, I mean dark.

Also, as you may have noticed, Catarina is the winner! She'll be the next character to be immortalized by Alielle! That said, here's the reading! Enjoy!

S-Class Poll! Which character next?!

Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

Today, I bring you something good! A drawing, a fanart, a commissioned work. Commissioned to the talented Alielle in the dens of deviantART. I bring you the first of the full body shots of the characters from S-ClaSS: resident bad-boy and Double S, Jason! Right here, on the left!

Ain't it a thing of beauty? Now, you may have noticed the wording first of the body-shots. I want to have one of all the characters from the main cast! For the order, though, I need your help! I hereby start a little pool to decide the next drawing! This time, a girl is going to be portraited! The candidates are:

1) Grace: All Purpose teacher, responsible for the S-ClaSS. A redhead, gentle most of the times but don't make her angry. She may punish you with tests or mashed potatoes.
Lookalikes: Hmm, this is difficult... Anime-wise, the closest I can say to you is a grown up Kushieda Minori from Toradora. But with a real tone of red for her hair, green eyes, and western features.

2) Catarina: Jason's class-mate, a tomboyish S with long black hair, a taste for hoodies and a potty mouth. Cross her and you'll go three different colours before she kicks you!
Lookalikes: Hmm... Yuuko Kanoe from Tasogare Otome x Amnesia with softer features, but with the personality of Olivia Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist.

3) Sienna: The hyper school nurse. An easygoing brunette who likes science and weirding out Grace and most of the people around her.
Lookalikes: Easy peasy! Ryoko Mikado from To Love Ru!

Well, that's that! Who shall be the next to be deviantART-ed?! You choose!

Meinos Kaen out!

Special Three-Shot – Wayne, what happened to those fountains?!


Hello, thar. Meinos Kaen here!

Today I bring you a special post, a three-shot that I wrote on the den of insanity I'm a member of, The Fanfiction Forums, in answer to a challenge or better yet, some wishful thinking from a friend. His post was as follows:


"I had this one-shot planned with my own take, where it was explained Sakura's mother was insanely hot and the only reason Naruto was interested in Sakura was because he hoped she might grow up to look more like her mum.

...I can't actually remember if I posted that or not. I don't think I did because the ending was pretty shitty."

The idea intrigued me. I'm always up for something pertaining good OCs. The result was Wayne, what happened to those fountains?!. I bring you this three-shot in both post and PDF form, but I'd download/read the PDF, if I were you. Why? Because it contains an introduction to how exactly this story came to be and, thanks to my friend Mastahofbitches and his photoshop skills, we have actual pictures of Midori-chan. Who's Midori-chan? Well, if you haven't guessed it yet, just go and read. Enjoy!

P.S.: I have something evil planned regarding this story which I want all of you to witness! The details are at the end of this post! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
