The Pacification of Crystal Valley (Art) · 7:20pm Aug 11th, 2014
Latest commissioned artwork has been delivered. For a little change, and to give a tiny glimpse at some of the back-story, I thought I'd accompany it with a little short story that I knocked together in the last hour. It's far from my finest bit of writing, I'll admit, but I couldn't contain my excitement.
EDIT: Short story has been taken down pending a quick edit, some additions, and posting as a stand-alone story.

I mean, I could expand it a little more, get it up to about 2-3k words, and post it as a stand-alone story.

2361721 Okay then.

I'd upvote as well
2361703 Answer form me: heck, Yeah! I want it!

This is sooooo good! I'd upvote it, too, and put it in my Favorites!
And if I may add something: I think that you ought to include the picture that's at the top of this blog post in the fic, if (when) you post it here as a full-fledged fic.

Good news, I'm making a little expansion, a few adjustments to the speech, and should be posting it soon-ish.
2361754 Cool! Can't wait to re-read it!

Not the way I imagined her armor, but cool notheless. I have my doubts about the helmet and the flank part, but those are just a matter of style. I love it.
Why does Cadence's battle armour makes me think that she looks like a cataphract war-horse?
Holy crap that awesome Cadance art.

That's not a bad thing, in my books. The cataphracts were pretty neat.
