    Back Again

    It's been far too long.

    I'm trying to get my writing chops back and MLP Fanfiction has proved good practice in the past.

    The Schnellschreibe Method

    One of the biggest problems that people have when participating in writing competitions is that they are unable to finish their story within the time limits. This is especially true of the pony Writeoff competition, where one may have as little as 24 hours to complete the assignment. However, I have no problem, and in some cases have been able to submit multiple complete stories within the time

    Back, finally

    I am back from my hiatus. Let's not go into why it was so long, but my life has changed a lot since 2013. As has my geographical location.

    So some things:

    Rainbow-Zoid performed by Flutter Riff

    Flutter Riff liked my reworked lyrics for Freakazoid's theme song so much he sang them really, really well:

    Rainbow-Zoid

    A friend of mine and I were talking about how the "Rainbow Powered" version of Rainbow Dash had Freakazoid's haircut, so I re-wrote the lyrics to Freakazoid's theme song to match Rainbow Dash:

    Super-keen extraordi-mare!
    Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!
    Flies around like she don't care!

New Cover Illustrations · 6:20pm Feb 25th, 2014

Thus far, I've been pulling images off of Derpibooru in order to have cover illustrations for my stories.

There's a lot wrong with this - the pictures don't necessarily go with the story, the artist's permission is usually not obtained, and it's not something I should do if I want to be a professional.

As such, I've reached out to my friend 1Trick (1trickpone.tumblr.com) to do a series of illustrations for my stories, starting with Gifts Ungiven. The new image depicts Dress Me Daisy in her pre-Rarity-ing state.

All future works will have 1Trick's illustrations as well, and he's available for commission if anyone else wants a very fancy illustration for their story.

Have you considered posting your stories to Art for Fanfiction? There are plenty of artists there who would love to make covers for your stories, and some of them will do it for free. :raritywink:

That's a good idea, but I think I'll stick with 1Trick for now. He seems to really enjoy doing the art, and I'm really wowed by what he comes up with.

You'll see what I mean with his illustration for "Cracked Beauty"
