I write poni. I am easily distracted. I like Oreos.

    Oh hey I wrote something

    It’s just a short chapter for Slices of Raridash, but it’s something!

    I’ve had a terrible case of writers’ block lately. No idea if this is a sign of pushing out of it but I suppose we’ll see!

    Thank you all for the interest!

    I really hope I can do you all proud with this story. It’s a lot more ambitious than my usual content, and I’m hoping I can do the concept justice.

    This is why I never said I was "officially" retired.

    Guess I suddenly got an urge :twilightsmile:

    Maybe I'll do more? I don't know! This just popped into my head and I did a thing.

    Everything must (kind of) go!

    Hi!

    So I haven’t been here in a long time. I know this and I apologize.

    I think…I hate to say it, but I think my pony writing days might be over?

    Maybe not, but I just haven’t had the motivation to write in quite a while, despite having a few ideas.

I'm bored. Ask me anything. · 6:39pm Oct 28th, 2014

I'm home for the day and trying to work on a new story that's a sequel to one of my other stories (How cryptic! :twilightsmile: ). While I'm here, I figure I'll do this because why the heck not. Don't think I'll get much in the way of questions, but let's see what happens!

Got a question for your favorite person whose name rhymes with Finklesnail? Ask away!

Wanna write a collab? :pinkiehappy:

Which trio of primary colors do you find more beautiful--red-green-blue or yellow-cyan-pink? Which rainbow do you prefer--ROYGBIV (semicircle) or red-yellow-green-cyan-blue-pink-red (circle)?

Favourite polyamory? Favourite clop polyamory? Favourite ship? Favourite story? Favourite author?

Maybe! I don't think I'd be a very good collab partner though. I'm weird about my writing.

2560781
Gotta go with yellow/cyan/pink. Yellow is an underrated color IMO. For rainbows though, I have to go with the classic ROYGBIV. Grew up on that, gotta stick to my roots. Indigo doesn't get enough respect.

2560799
Favorite polyamory is definitely Applejack/Fluttershy/Rarity. Or Flarijack, if you will (and I will!). And favorite ship is definitely Appleshy, though oddly enough, despite Appleshy being my OTP, I've written a fair amount more Rarilight than it. Rarilight's pretty high up there too.

As for favorite stories...I honestly don't read as much as I should. I really loved Love Means Having To Say You're Sorry by Bookplayer. The way she wrote Rainbow was fantastic, IMO, and served as inspiration for me writing Rainbow Dash and the Perfectly-Awesome No-Bad Very-Good Plan. Littlecolt's The Conquering of Love is also something I loved when I was reading it, although I'm waaaaaaaaaay behind on it (I last read early into Overgrowth (Book 2), and Book 4 just ended). If we're talking mature stories, then I really liked TwistedSpectrum's Royal Duties. For favorite authors, Donnys Boy would be up there, and I'm really liking what I've read of Sharp Spark.

There's so much to name though. Those are just a few top favorites.

Are you acquainted with procedural generation? Which do you think is cooler--procedural generation of roads (for, e.g., a SimCity scenario or an open-world racing game's map) or procedural generation of underground passages (for, e.g., a Diablo or Dungeons & Dragons map)?

2560847 Donny's Boy is awesome, indeed.

So. What is it about Appleshy that makes it your favorite?

What is your own personal quote?

What do you do when a computer you just got months ago starts acting weird?

Ooh, Sprinkle Hail is here? Where?

:trollestia:

What do you love about fan fiction? :)

Thoughts on Fallout: Equestria?

2560856
I'm not very aware of it, but I like Diablo, so that!

Ohhh boy. Here we go. Keep in mind that this, obviously, will be based primarily on headcanon, with little sprinkles of canon things added in.

They're a couple that's happy just enjoying the little things in life. Other ponies need action, drama, and adventure. Other couples are seen as more exciting, and might view AJ and Shy as an uninteresting couple, but they don't need constant hustle and bustle. They're happy just having each other. If you've read "All In" by Donnys Boy (in the Friends and Lovers compilation), he puts it into words a little better than how I am here, but it's the same exact way I feel about them. They could be content just sitting there next to each other and looking into each other's eyes.

As for other little things: Fluttershy's obviously good with animals, and AJ runs a farm, which lends itself to dealing with animals as well. Applejack tends to be the one that Fluttershy runs to a lot when she's scared (see Dragonshy, which will always be my principle canon reference for Appleshy things), and Applejack can be her rock, the one who's most often patient with her. Yes, Bats! kind of threw that off a bit, but AJ was under a fair amount of duress herself, and was doing what she thought was right for her livelihood. They don't have to agree on everything, but in he end, AJ's proven that she's happy to be calm and patient with Fluttershy and support her. This can be said for the others as well, but I just see it working best with Shy and AJ. Plus, I can see Shy as a good rock for AJ as well, to calm her down on the occasions that she's in over her head.

They're just a sweet little couple is what I'm trying to say :yay: :heart: :ajsmug:

I say "good morning" a lot. Regardless of what time it is. Because it's always morning somewhere.

2560904
I'm awful with computers. I'd say to ask it kindly to resume working at the proper capacity.

2561013
WHERE? I'LL KILL HIM!

We got beef, me and him.

I'm glad for any manner of artistic expression. That's one of the reasons that I've stayed with this fandom so long. It just seems to bring out talent in so many people. If you're asking what I like in fanfic that I read, I tend to lean towards fluffy shippy stories. I'll gladly dabble outside of that, but that kind of stuff is my bread and butter. I'm not a big fan of grimdark though, and I also mostly tend away from anthro.

2561379
I...have actually never read it. I don't really like reading big long things on my computer. If I was able to get a hold of the physical books that were printed of it, I'd be far more likely to read it.

What is your name?
What is your quest?
What... is the average airspeed of an unlaiden swallow?

But no, seriously. I like your breakdown of Apple shy, and it makes me wonder why you also prefer Rarilight (twirity)?
