    Skip Card from IRL Issues

    Due to some personal concerns I am going to be posting no chapter this week. Sorry to break the pace again so soon after the last one, and not to mention so soon after the particular last chapter, but things literally came up this morning and it's just been a lot.

    Retroactive Week Skip

    Hahahaha guess who forgot he was going to spend the entire weekend at Con on the Cob until it was already long past chapter posting time?

    :disgaea:

    So yeah, no SOAT for this previous week. My apologies for not announcing it in advance. :V

    Happy 100th to SOAT!

    Celebrating 100 chapters for Spike of All Trades / Spikefic, and also my own impending birthday! Been good having you all along this whole time, and special thanks to the regular commentary crew for all their insight, to Carcino for his regular read-overs, and to Norm for his editing expertise.

    Welcome to The New Age

    God I hope so. ;_;

    But in all seriousness, it's 2021! Time to ring this thing off with a bang and return Spikefic to operation a week earlier than originally planned. This also kicks off a slight change in presentation and format for the foreseeable future.

THINGS the First! (poll, vote, upcoming fic!) · 12:21pm Aug 20th, 2013

Hey again!

The first instance of THINGS I'm bringing around here is a new way to handle things for a while, get us all back into the groove-- I of writing and publishing, you of reading and commenting. Whether you guys are rusty or not is entirely immaterial, much like (INSERT JOKE HERE).

So here's the plan:
I'm going to post up a poll. You all get to pick one of three (3) fic ideas, little nuggets that'll turn into beautiful one-shots.
Winning fic gets made, maximum delivery time of 2 weeks. There WILL be something posted EVERY week, be it a one-shot, a chapter of an existing fic, or even some weird scraps or abandoned projects.

The first poll is between these three lovely ideas:

1- A pony-based retread of one of my first public works, said by some to be one of the most depressing fics ever.
2- A story in which making a spell work precisely backwards gives Rainbow Dash exactly what she needs.
3- A potentially canon (or not) 4o2 omake about each of the Mane Six getting "royal"* piercings.
*-- For those not up to date on 4o2, we're talking about nipple and clitoris piercings.

Vote in the comments, only one vote per person, the 2 ideas which are not used WILL come back in future polls to get another shot at it. The poll will stay up for 24 hours from the first comment, spread the word, get people excited, LET'S WRITE SOME HORSE SMUT!

Ooh! Ooooh! Option 2!

Well, I'm torn, this is a lot to take in, and you ask a lot of piercing questions, and I just don't know if I have it in me to make a decision.

There, now i have all the puns out of my system, I no longer feel obligated to pick three.

Put me down for some more of two please!

I'm in for option two as well; I really wanna know what you mean by "backwards spell"...:twilightoops:

Option two sounds intriguing, personally.

Hmm, option 3 is tempting, since I love 4o2, but piercings aren't exactly my thing. Option 2 sounds interesting because it sounds confusion. So...

Option 2!

I'll go with 2.

While option 2 sounds interesting, the mental images of the various Mane 6's reactions to both finding out about the piercings and getting a set themselves is just too good to pass up. I vote 3.

Number 3. Because piercings in places are fun.

Oooooh, number 3, piercings! :raritystarry::heart::pinkiehappy:

Option 3 please!

Hm, piercings, or backwards spells... Piercings, or spells....

Let's go with Piercings, option 3

Voting option 2 just because it's the most mysterious option and I'm too damn curious.

Two sounds fun, but I feel the need to support the cause of number three. Because reasons. :scootangel:

Much as I love anything and everything related to 4o2, option 2 sounds like the most fun. :twilightsmile:

Yay for option 3 can't wait to see Rarity and Flutters get pierced

Oh hell yeah Option 3

voting for 3

Because I've never laughed harder at a fic, than I did at Looking Lively

Nah, let's go with Option 1. The more horrifically depressing things, the better :twilightsmile:

2, then 3. Depression isn't really a good call.

3 definitely 3, and more 4o2

As much as I love me some 4o2, I'm gonna say deuce.

Piercings! Piercings for everypony! This will be simultaneously sexy, funny and awesome.

I can't easily decide between two and three. I like both, but if i had to choose, i'd go with three. Because 4o2.

Gonna vote for 3 since that seems to be an extremely rare topic on this site... though I am curious to see how you do depressing.

#2
I can just imagine rainbow trying to convince twi to do something that twi thinks is impossible

Show us what's behind Door #2

I'll cast my vote for option #3, if you please.

I wanna see you go number two, too!

... what? :rainbowhuh:

Totally number 3

I'm going to be one of those people and state I'd rather see 4o2 update before one shots. Like I said, one of those people.

Otherwise, 2 or 3, why not. Crossing my fingers for the above mentioned though.

Number 3 cause it sounds so um..interesting, that's the word right?

Option the second.

hmmm... can't decide.
*rolls dice*
Deuces baby!!! Numbah Two it is

3- A potentially canon (or not) 4o2 omake about each of the Mane Six getting "royal"* piercings.

^this one:pinkiehappy:

Option 2 sounds the most interesting.

Two sounds like a good thing.

I like option 2

3. This will prove to be amusing.

Second! This opinion and the choice! two...:coolphoto:

Oh my.....

Well, the sheer levels of potential craziness involved make me have to go with option #3.
This should be interesting.......:pinkiehappy:

Looks like it's a pretty well-hung vote between 2 and 3...

El numero dos.
