    If you work near a bread slicer...

    ... be sure to wear cut-resistant gloves. Slicing your finger open on rapidly-moving blades is not a fun experience, nor is cleaning the wound afterwords. Safety regulations are there for a reason! I'm lucky that I still have an intact finger, and that it'll be healed up fully within a month, but that's something I hope none of you ever have to experience.

    Updates and a question

    Hi everyone. Figured I'd post a little update about what's happening in case anyone's still following me. With the assistance and advice of resident Navy sailor Kaipony, I've been working for several months now on an a three-book, alternate-history World War Two naval saga that pits Celestia and Equestria against Nightmare Moon and her allies. But unlike my previous stories, which were written,

    If you could erase one MLP character from existance, who would it be?

    I'd get rid of Button Mash. Not because I have anything against him, but because it would spare us all from the seemingly countless incest stories he's involved in. I know every fandom has it's seeder, unsavory sides, but good God, why are so many people into stories of a grade-school child having sex with his mom, or her wanting to have sex with him? Knowing that his (non-canon) mother

    December has finally come once again! Christmas lights are up, trees are being decorated, and stores are filled with our favorite holiday music! Why not mark the occasion with some winter-themed horror?

Looking to hire a cover artist · 4:53am Apr 20th, 2014

EDIT: Found an artist! Thanks to everyone who were sent along their work!

With my next story rapidly approaching, I'm looking to hire someone to illustrate the cover page. Are you a starving pony artist looking for work? We might be able to work together to create ze magics! Subject matter is black and white semi- grimdark (no blood or gore) and heavy on mood and atmospheric lighting. Payment will be via paypal, and I'm willing to pay up to $50, depending on detailing and complexity.

If you're interested in giving it a try, send me a PM with a sample/samples of your work, and we'll go from there!

I'll be accepting applications until April 26th, and won't make a final decision until then. If you aren't picked as the cover artist, don't worry: I'm hoping to do some illustrations for scenes from the story, so I'll hire for those as well.

I have but one question to ask: Will this brand-spanking new story be written in the same style as The Monster Below?

One person I liked for the work done was Styx lady at http://styxlady.deviantart.com/ but she may get an open slot soon hopefully at a very reasonable 30 bucks for full color and good quality. As for others, hmm, were you aiming for a black/white shaded, or color in wondering?

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at her stuff.

Pure black and white, with no color, but if the shading or other little traits stand out, I'm open to some wiggle room.

2026986 Spots go fast, when she opens, but she might also be able to recommend you to other artists as well.

I have a friend who's a GREAT artist, I'll ask her to see if she can do it.

color me itnrigued. what is this story about?

2043528 it's that much of a secret?
hope it is good........... i have been in a drought for good stories for a while now. worse i have read stories that seemed good at first and then went down hill. doesn't help i am a stickler for details at time. though i highly doubt it is much to ask for Applejack to not randomly follow some random invidual own a dark ally like a lost foal. she is the pony able to take up second in command when need be after all.

2043528 when will it be ready at least?

2043540
Well, I've been working on the outline for a good three months now, so I hope it'll live up to people's expectations when they start reading it!

2043737
Probably before June. I'm aiming to finish up "My Little Sharknado" before I start writing this next story.

Also, when you mentioned you were intrigued, was that in regards to the story, possibly doing the cover, or both?

2043794 the story. i am afraid i have about as much art skillz as a dead mule. at least when it comes to drawing. writing i am pretty good and am working on my own fanfic. been working since march last hyear on it, figuring out what i want to do.

Actually, I did find an artist who's working on the cover as we speak. I can't believe I forgot to update the original post, but I have now. Thanks for nudging me!
