Signal boost: Emergency beanies · 3:05am Mar 4th, 2015
Fellow FIMFiccer SPark is a cool author. (I'm following the space-opera "Moonlight By Starlight" and the very maturely NSFW "Ember's", among others.) SPark is also a creator of handmade MLP plushies and other such awesome gewgaws. Unfortunately, SPark is also having a minor financial crisis, which was not helped by being denied vendor space at a few MLP conventions this year, and is looking for short-term aid via quick sale of some of the plushies beanies that were prepared for those conventions.
Details are here, along with photos of the two Discords and four princesses that are 95% complete and ready for sale. Here are some of them:
If you can afford to drop $100 to $150 on snugglable pony royalty, there will never be a better time. If you want to help but your budget's not quite that high, SPark's webstore has other offerings, and if I'm not mistaken commissions are also available.
Well now, why didn't I think of this? Will do the same, once I have some other stuff to blog about (I dislike small rapid-fire posts).
2848573 Hey SPark! Sorry to hear you're having trouble with cons. I've definitely seen your stuff around, I'm "My Little Ties", and this might be a bit too short notice and all, but I'd be up for sharing my BABSCon vendor table! I'm sharing my Everfree one with someone already who had a similar situation, but can definitely offer some table space over at my booth at BABS.
2848573 2848742
Oh wow … magic of friendship activate.
I hope that works out! It would be great to see you both at Babscon (plus I could pick my beanie up there instead of the hassle of shipping).
2848742 Yeah, at this point I've made other commitments, so I can't make it to BABScon. That's super nice of you, though! I'm not sure how practical it would be even if I could go, mind... this pile is what I try to bring to conventions, and it more than takes up an entire table, so sharing becomes super difficult. You are REALLY nice to offer, though!
2849191 Haha, that is an impressive pile! I can generally scrunch my stuff up a bit and take up about half a table, so I'm sure we could've figured it out! It's a shame you can't, totally get it, hard to change travel commitments on such short notice.
I tend to be more than happy to offer to share my table since that's how I got started, when I went to vend at my first con (well second technically, but it's a quibble) all the tables were booked, but another vendor was very kind to offer me a spot to share. I wasn't at all known for much of anything back then (not that I am now, but at least people know that there are ties) so it was a very nice thing of her to do. If nothing else, hope to see you at BronyCon then!
2849161 And absolutely, you should definitely stop by my table at BABSCon! Would be great to chat, and I've got an adorable little changeling pin and my VR project is now running on the next gen Oculus and it has changelings running around in there also now!
I will give you one guess which one I want. One. Guess.

A Chrysalis beanie is dual-function--it can either be Chrysalis, or it can be Cadance!

I think you may be overestimating the state of the art in beanie technology.

It only works when nobody is looking.

Miss Harshwhinny, on the far right?

It only works when …
… that's funny, I have the strangest sense of deja vu.

I literally came to this page a few seconds ago to make an addendum that you should not waste your one guess on Ms. Harshwhinny, only to find that mere seconds before, you did exactly that thing.
Sadly, if I understood your post on the main thread, there is no beanie in your future, as it appears that Cadance and Chrysalis have both sold. This leaves Twilight as the sole remaining princess, JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN SEASON 4.
Like two times.
I dunno, how does confirmed Best Pony Twilight Sparkle not sell? We need a hardcore Twifan with mad spondulicks to wander through.
2850265
Also, now I want to make a pony OC named "Spondulicks."
2850265
YES
IN BEFORE DEADLINE
also, I will accept my tragic loss of beanitude on the grounds that it means the sale is going well.

I'm tempted to spin this into a short story about intergenerational naming and its effect on workplace discrimination. "Spondulicks" seems one of those names like "Gertrude" or "Danika" that are tied to an era, and so merely stating Spondulicks' age gives you an idea of your setting …
2849579 I'd think it'd be the Cadance beanie that's dual-function.
2850844
Hah! I suppose so.
2850845 ...and now I'm trying to think of some way to give her horn or eyes a greenish shimmer. Hrm....
