Hey all. As my last blog said, and as you've probably noticed, I've basically left the site. Comments from me are very rare and I expect blogs (like this one) will be even rarer. But interesting times have gotten even more interesting, so I'm back for one final message.
Well, strictly speaking, Galacon itself was a massive let-down. Only a single writing-related panel during the entire convention and it was awful. It was also apparently part two, when part one happened last year? Bloody stupid.
But that's ok, because I had the good sense to stay away from that nonsense, and hung out with some cool Horse People instead.
...Can we still write one-shots, so long as they're not part of one-shotober? because it's how I write stories: Chapter Story, One Shot, Chapter Story, One Shot, and so on, and I just finished writing a Chapter story
2444757 I have no problems with one-shots. But the way Oneshotober is set up is perfectly crafted for dozens of users churning out piles of crap.
One-shots are fine. Taking part in challenges to inspire your writing is fine. Trying to come up with 31 unique stories at once, and posting all the attempts one at a time without enough time to edit/improve upon them is not.
k.
Concur.
Your blog is a sinking ship amongst the tide of the oneshots.
Don't sink, Plum.
You must rise.
And kill all the heretics.
I'll get right on not writing anything for Oneshotober.
I don't think I could do this without wanting to kill myself. >.>
I write one chapter every two weeks. Holy shit man I can't even do this even if I want to.
I completely agree.

2444765 Okay. I never really understood what this whole thing was about.
By the way, Nice new avatar! nothing like an alicorn. I feel like expositioning headcanon on the subject of the 6 species of alicorn now
Luckily I already did it in my group
