    Personal life disruption

    Hey, everyone. I felt I owed you all an explanation for why it's now two weeks past the last scheduled update for Primrose War.

    So, I've had a bit of a personal upheaval. I'm moving forward with building a house, not immediately, but there's been a lot of talking with friends and family about what it'll mean going forward. So that's one thing.

    Unexpected Hiatus

    Hello everyone. I wanted to apologize for the lengthy, unexpected hiatus of The Primrose War. It was definitely unplanned, and this time I haven't been writing. Work, leading up to the holidays, has been more stressful than usual with the rush to get things done before I take my two week end-of-year vacation.

    Next chapter delayed

    Hello everyone! I apologize, but the next chapter of Primrose War will be delayed by a bit. Between work and a few novel releases that I've been looking forward to, I haven't made as much progress as I wanted to on the next chapter. I do have a solid outline, though, for the rest of the book as well as part of the next, so I haven't been idle.

Little Collab · 1:58am Apr 3rd, 2014

So, I teamed up with Dustin Lange to write some little one-shot stories inspired off six words. I'm writing them during the breaks I need to take when working on The Mare in the Moon and Silver Spoon to distract myself and mull over word choices, scene choices and questions, disasters and whatnot.

Oh yeah: Collab Link (Six Word Stories)

My first was a happy little scene starring an adult Twist making candy.
Six word inspiration: Stripes, candy and happiness. Want some?
My second will be Fluttershy confronting a truth.
Six word Inspiration: I thought kindness would solve everything.

More will be coming when I have time to write them... Or post here telling me which of a long list you think I should do? I'll only do ones that I came up with. (Edit: Unless they're really funny.)

Maud Pie: A rock got into your sock.
Big Mac: Eeyup! Nope. Eeyup. Nope! Nope! Nope!
Granny Smith: Pile on the wagon! Zap Apples!
Spike: Aww, come on! Not this again.
Gilda: Junior Speedsters Camp. What a joke.
Lightning Dust: Eat my dust. Just not me!
Soarin: Pies, oh how wonderful you taste!
Spitfire: I left you behind. Save me?
Fleetfoot: I may be small. I'm faster.
Fancy Pants: Garden Parties are passe. Pinkie Pie?
Photo Finish: I have not arrived. My camera!
Hoity Toity: Fashion, passion. Give me something beautiful.
Button Mash: Video Games, what's the big deal?
Bulk Bicep: Maybe! Yeah! P is for pride!
Derpy Hooves: Have a muffin. I love you.
Flim: You will never believe our deals!
Flam: Have a look, just five bits!
Thunderlane: Wind in my mane. Feather flew.
Blossomforth: Flexibility is my game, not tame.
Flitter: My heart belongs to only one.
Cloudchaser: Race ya! You'll never catch me!
Octavia: Music is life, music is love.
Vinyl Scratch: Wub my wife, wub my dubstep.
Cheerilee: Live to learn, learn to love.
Mayor Mare: Bureaucracy is going to ruin me.
Minuette: Why can nopony brush their teeth?
Roseluck: I just said roses are red.
Lily Valley: Not the bunnies, anything but that!
Daisy Dream: Flowers smell so nice. And tasty!
Trixie: I travel and perform. Praise me!
Luna: Night is when dreams come true.
Celestia: Light always shines brighter than darkness.
Cadance: Love is the fire of life.
Twilight: Magic is in bonds we share.
Scootaloo: I will fly. Watch me soar.
Sweetie Belle: I sing because I love everything.
Applebloom: My sister watches over me, always.

Completed:
Twist: Stripes, candy, and happiness. Want some? (Done)
Fluttershy: A kind word broke my heart. (Changed to the above)

My votes:

Hoity Toity: Fashion, passion. Give me something beautiful.
Mayor Mare: Bureaucracy is going to ruin me.
Luna: Night is when dreams come true.
Celestia: Light always shines brighter than darkness.
Cadance: Love is the fire of life.
Twilight: Magic is in bonds we share.

And THIS:

Flim: You will never believe our deals!
Flam: Have a look, just five bits!

While those are some good ones for them, I have this suggestion, because I'm evil and I love them.

Flim: What is this? I've never seen...
Flam: I've lost my sense of wonder.

I realize that might be hard to do though... just... I like messing with them. I think they're fascinating and they have potential beyond what they sell.

Trixie: I travel and perform. Praise me!

:rainbowlaugh: Not voting for this but that's a perfect summation of Trixie period. I love her too but I already voted for so much as is.

How about I blow your mind and give you a three for one? I'll bend the rules... and write a three-for one bonus.

Trixie: I travel and perform. Praise me!
Flim: What is this? I've never seen...
Flam: I've lost my sense of wonder.

I can already picture it in my mind. It will be the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny... With ponies.

Oh my! Would this be before Trixie reformed or after? Either way, it would still be interesting if they basically tried to face off over her stage performance. Flim and Flam certainly have the ego to try it, if they felt like mocking her overinflated ego. I imagine they'd have an even match although I dunno if that 'd mean together they match Trixie or if perhaps they were having an argument beforehand, so they weren't working together as much as usual or otherwise only tried to take her on one on one at first or the whole time. Gah... lots of ideas for how that could go down. :pinkiesmile:

1978132

I think I know how, generally, it's going to go down. She's pretty Trixie after all.

1978182
I love comedy overall, but I don't always approve puns. I approve this one. I shall now wait with baited breath. :rainbowkiss:

1978187 I'm going to do this, and it's going to be its own short story with a traditional 3 act structure, but also a comedy.

The chapter titles are inspired by Pinkie Pride.
Prologue: Start Off
Cast Off
Show Off
Sell Off
Epilogue: Send Off

Yessssss. This pleases me. :raritystarry:
