Writer's Block Party, Part Thr--Just kidding, I wrote something! · 10:03pm Aug 31st, 2014
Hey, does anyone remember that one person that used to post stories on this site now and then? Elsa Ylollipops, or something... wrote a story a while back about carrots? I wonder what happened to them. It's like they just stopped writing.
Oh wait, that was me. I stopped writing.
Contrary to what you may have heard, I was not found face-down in a kiddie pool in the backyard of a crack-dealer's house following my fleeting brush with the fame and glamor that come with having a story featured on EQD. None of the crack-dealers I know even own pools.
No, my fate for the last few months has been more mundane than that. Nothing more than simple writer's block, combined with growing depression over my continued failure to find any work that pays more than a hair over minimum wage.
Still working on that second problem, but I've at least made a breakthrough on the first. By means of a burst of inspiration that kept me awake all night typing for fear that the words would disappear if I slept, I now have a legible draft of:
Spitballed
I have mentioned the premise of this story before: Notably sexy Wonderbolts captain Spitfire has a fling with Rarity, but it is more - and less - than Rarity bargained for.
I need pre-readers to help straighten it out, but this story is Not Safe For Work, so I cannot post a link to the document here. If you want to help, let me know and I will PM you with the link.
My apologies to those of you who follow me that do not touch the explicit stuff. Hopefully this bout of inspiration will persist long enough for me to eke out something clean for you folks, too.
For the rest of you dirty pony-piddlers, be on the lookout for Spitballed sometime in the next week or two.
Elsa Ylollipops, out!
I would be honored to help you (if you don't already have too many other offers. )
2417606 There's no such thing as too many.
Okay, conceivably there could be such a thing as too many, but you're the first, so it's a moot point. Firing off a PM now.
What are the tags going to be?
It's nice to know how a story is themed before deciding weather or not to help =P
YO. I am totally cool with pre-reading this if you would like more eyes...
((Just don't take my eyes; I'm still using them, but...))
I would be happy to take a look and help however I can.
RariFire, you say?
Yes plz, I say.
2417686 Of course. That makes perfect sense. It will be [Comedy], and rated [Mature: Sex]. It probably won't warrant a [Romance] tag, unless for some reason my pre-readers talk me into some serious re-writes. The general idea, without spoiling too much for the folks looking in on this blog post, is some silly bedroom humor in which Rarity does not exactly get what she was after.
2418018 2418099 Excellent! I shall send you both a link.
2418754 RariFire, I do say. I don't believe I've seen it done before.
I love touching explicit stuff. Send 'em on over. But could I get an idea of the word count?
2419204 The word-count is between 8k and 9k words. Very solidly a one-shot.
PM incoming.
2419146
Sounds solid enough. Feel free to send a PM this way too.
2419146 So, I need to bribe some people to lobby some romance into it, eh?
Oh well. I was hoping that it would be a funny but also romance- and plot-y thing after Bitter Harvest, but I guess I'll give it a try anyway. Your stories are worth it.
