    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

"Princess Celestia Hates Tea" in comic format! · 10:47am Aug 16th, 2014

I can't call it an "official" adaptation, as--other than providing the source material--I am no way involved in its creation, but I have to say that artist Mister-Saugrenu is doing virtually everything right so far. I'm eager to see how it continues! Maybe you will be too. Anyway, check it out! Click on "Next" in the description for further pages.

Oh that's just fantastic.

What's there so far does, in fact, look very good indeed! Props to Mister-Saugrenu for the excellent adaption, and thank you for granting him permission and for sharing it with us.

And, you know, for writing the story it's based on too. :trollestia:

Awesome.

(And I said as much to the artist.)

Hoo yeah! Axis of Rotation and PP have deviantart accounts. I get to stalk moar!

Sergeant Hoplite tackling Celly almost went down like I thought it would when I originally read Celly Hates Tea, except I imagined him doing a Lou Thesz press on her a la Stone Cold Steve Austin style, followed by multiple punches to the floor (because threatening). What? Wrestling, with anything, especially politics and court, makes it a million times more interesting. Golf and wrestling lol.

Can't wait for an update. I bet I can convince my friends to finally read Princess Celestia Hates Tea through this since comics grab their interest more. I've tried linking them to it before, and they didn't even try reading. Some of the reasons I think they never read any ponyfic stuff I suggest:

-"I'm too busy."
-"Fanfiction? Eww..."
-"It's a thousand words? That sounds like a lot."
-"Why read when you can watch something, listen to something, or look at pictures?"
-"This is gonna be like that pony music you keep forcing me to listen too. It's just a bunch of guys doing their own original thing under the guise of ponies to get more views."
- *tries to offer me a rainbow cupcake, to which I do nothing*
"HA! You were traumatized by Cupcakes!"

Can anyone remind me which fic out there is about Twilight having written Princess Celestia Hates Tea in-universe? I loved that one too.

A brilliant comic adaptation to a brilliantly written story! :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache: (out of five!)

That's adorable. He captured the moment where Twilight's mind broke perfectly. *sproing*

I still need to give this story a read. This is really cool!

Also, I gave the story a shoutout in one of my upcoming fics.

Thanks for the shoutout! And, I'm interested to see what you think of it!

You're welcome! I'm pretty lazy about reading stories, and I'm a TRG PR now, so most of my reading time is spent in the queue. But I've been meaning to read this story for months, so I have no more excuse.

And sadly, the fic in question that I put the reference in is a clopfic. :pinkiesick:

2375603
Eh, no worries. I'm not too allergic to clop.

2375645
Oh, that's good. My stuff is parody, anyway. Here's the passage:

“Twilight...” Applejack leaned in closer. “Somethin's the matter, and I ain't lettin' ya leave until ya fess up.”

“Uh...” Twilight scratched the back of her neck and bit her lip. “Spike has a crush on Rarity!”

Applejack snorted. “I knew that. Everypony knew that, except for Rarity, bless her naive little head.”

“Princess Celestia secretly hates tea and only pretends to like it to keep up appearances?”

“Everypony knows that now, too,” said Applejack with a sigh. “Look, I'm the Element of Honesty. I can tell when somepony's lying. Spill the apple seeds, already.”

I needed some throwaway lines, and this story just came to mind. I'll probably leave a comment when I read the story. :pinkiehappy:

I will be eagerly awaiting updates on this comic.

2376020
:pinkiehappy: I aim to please.

Well that's freakin' cool. You get a comic made of your fic? Dayum.

I did love it though, Tia reminds me so much of myself in this fic.

2376649
In that you both really hate tea? Or in that you're both ensnared by small lies grown huge? :pinkiehappy:

Congrats. This is great! "Princess Celestia hates tea" was one of my favorite fics, and now I can read it in Comic form! :pinkiehappy:

Heheh... that's awesome! Really high quality art too, definitely captures your fic perfectly. I am both pleased and jealous simultaneously! :pinkiecrazy:

2376836 Neither. In that your loyal subjects will turn on you if you don't quite act the part of leader in the ways they'd expect.

2377613
I see. Hope it turns out better for you than it did for Celly...

Awesome! It must be great to see your work popping up into great things! I will be sure to keep an eye on this comic, the ending is bound to be brilliant just like in the fic. :raritystarry:

2378206
I really am very happy with it so far!

The art was just amazing! This is just one of the most amazing mlp fan-art I have ever seen. :pinkiesmile:

2380469
It is very good, isn't it?

2380522 NO! It's way more then good, it's amazing, fantastic, fabulous, great, and perfect! :rainbowkiss:

2380542
Well, tell the artist so! If you haven't already. :pinkiehappy:

Ha ha! Talk about an epic tribute! How does it feel to not only have fanart for your stories, but also have one re-written and re-done into a comic format for everyone to enjoy?!
*Sticks hoof/hand/stick/... spoon. (it's the only thing on my desk okay?)*

TELL YOUR FANS HOW YOU FEEL!!
