    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

Quotable Trick Contest № 50! · 8:11pm Nov 13th, 2022

Congratulations to Fylifa for winning last week's contest! :yay:

EColts Will Be Colts
A little colt is afraid of everypony except Scootaloo, but what makes her so special?
Trick Question · 2.6k words  ·  151  7 · 2.9k views

Story: Colts Will Be Colts
Quote: Sweetie shrugged. "Well, I didn't know for like, a week after we met."


THE LEADERBOARD (Unspent/Total Trick Points)

mishun: 17/17 TP :rainbowdetermined2:
Fylifa: 11/11 TP *
Light Striker: 8/8 TP
BezierBallad: 6/6 TP
FanOfMostEverything: 5/5 TP
Fillyfoolish: 2/2 TP
hawthornbunny: 1/1 TP

(* = Winner of last round! They can't win this time, but they can still participate (quiz format)!

Since this is the 50th contest, I figure I'll do something a little special this time.

You can spend Trick Points in the Trick-Store to get all sorts of cool stuff! :pinkiegasp:


Click here to see the full list of rules.

General Rules

  • The comment closest to the correct answer wins the Trick Point!
  • Ties go to the earliest post.
  • Whenever you win a contest you have to sit out the next contest.
  • You only get one guess! Editing your comment after posting it disqualifies you.

(* = If you made a mistake with your post, such as naming the story but forgetting to name the chapter, you may post a second comment with any corrections provided you do it within five minutes of the initial post.)

Contest Type 2: Multi-Question Quiz! (hardest)

  • I will post a series of questions or a multi-part question.
  • You'll want to participate even when others have answered, because you'll learn more about the questions.
  • You must spoiler your answers.
  • It's okay to look at other users' answers before providing your response! :scootangel:
  • Each question or portion will be worth a set number of points that will be provided to you.
  • In some cases "nearly correct" responses are worth half credit.
  • You will be told your score, but sometimes I won't reveal the true answers!
  • NEW: The winner of the previous contest CAN participate and will even receive a score, but they will be excluded from winning. If the last contest's winner participates, please begin your answer with an unspoilered "(Not Competing)" so people will know they can copy your answer and still win, and do not post your answer until there are at least two other responses.

Here is this week's quiz:

Name every story (or anthology, if it contains a chapter that qualifies) currently visible on this account that contains transgender, gender questioning, and/or intersex themes or characters, or has very specific focus on gender roles. Special bonus if you guess the story whose message is about being transgender despite not having any of those elements!

Scoring

  • +10 if one of the stories you name is the one with the secret message
  • +1 for every correct response other than the one above
  • –1 for every incorrect response
  • maximum score will be revealed after the event closes
  • event closes tonight Wednesday at midnight, Eastern Time (but scoring may take a day)

Remember to spoiler your answers, and the last winner can still participate (to receive a score, but they can't win).

Good luck, everypony! :trixieshiftleft:

Hmmmm. Without revealing presently my methods nor my internal resolutions to some ambiguities, leaving only the raw, unsorted list plus length padding: :pinkiecrazy:

The Longest Curtain Call; The Third Pony; Time-Out; Trick's Flashfics; Mission of Mercy; Girl Talk; Back to Normal; The Sissified Swap; Colts Will Be Colts; Nipples; Two of Swirls; Winter Heat; padding text to help prevent spoiler length hints; more padding text; lorem ipsum Ia Ia Trick Question; in the night, the padding text comes in through one's bedroom window and

By the way, mostly for the benefit of other potential responders: I'm glad I checked the preview. I originally thought to format that as a list, but the spoiler tag silently fails to work on it (I assume because it's a block element). That could've been bad. :pinkiegasp:

(Also true list formatting would've been even worse in a “removing hints” sense given the way spoiler tags obscure things, so I probably would've given up on that anyway)

:yay:

I'll post about this shortly.

I am kinda surprised I was the only one this time after the extension. Hmm.
