Four and a Half Minutes of JanAnimation Goodness, and a Request of Mine · 9:44am Aug 7th, 2013
Blog Number 17: Button's Adventures Edition
Just a shorty today, but I couldn't resist once I found this.
A fan-made animation that combines show-worthy artwork with a healthy dose of humour? Despite being only four and a half minutes long, Button's Adventures, the latest offering of JanAnimation, is great viewing, as I've come to expect from him. This is the guy who did Picture Perfect Pony, which is still my favourite fan-based work, followed closely by Let's Meet the Bronies. The humour is a bit random and Button's voice can be grating at times, but if you're OK with that and haven't seen it yet, I strongly urge that you give it a look:
I personally found the ending hilarious, followed closely by the scene with the ping pong game.
To be honest, I would like to see more videos like this on Youtube, combining show-quality animation with some pretty good entertainment, (so I'm hoping the mini-series takes off). If you know of any, I'd be very interested in seeing your suggestions in the comments!
On a side-note, I am contemplating whether or not to try my hand at a longer work. Having been on this site for over a year and a half, I feel I should have produced something substantial by now, but I am unsure where to begin. I think what might help is knowing what the people following me think they'd like to see. For instance, are there any current works of mine that you would like to see finished, or would you rather I tried something new and see what I come up with? Or if you think both would be interesting and leave it up to me to pick, so long as there's a longfic in the works? If you like, please send me a comment or PM about it. I'd be very interested in hearing from my followers, though passersby are also welcome, natch.
That's all for now. Impossible Numbers, out.

New Stories?: The Adventure of the Five Apple Cores and Braeburn's Ambition. The former was a parody of Five Orange Pips, which I'd recently read and found to be a tad disappointing for a Sherlock work. The latter was a stab at characterizing Braeburn and Sheriff Silverstar (Silver Star?), as well as an excuse to introduce the Spiderglass monsters.
New Updates:: Four chapters added to The Campaign for Extra Trixie. Of them, the two Daring Do ones are my personal favourites, followed closely by Heliocentric.

So that's where he came from... I've been seeing pics for him and I couldn't figure where the hell he came from
Through the Eyes of the Hurricane is (apparently
) the only story I've read from you, but it's still one of my favorite short stories. Stories like that would interest me a lot.
As for long stories: go for it! I'd say an adventure story would be the best way to go, but I don't mind however you choose to write the story.

Never noticed any pics. I just stumbled on the video while browsing YouTube, and that was the first I knew about it.

A dark, historical, and possibly introspective adventure story, eh? And I would like to try my hand at an adventure story, true...

Found them wandering various sites, and apparently the fandom has latched onto his mother in some... un-motherly ways. Why must the fandom embrace that rule..
