Auteur extraordinaire and good friend Novel Idea has been having some troubles. If you have the means, he could use the help. See all the details on his post.
Come one, come all, and gather 'round for the announcement of the winners of the fifth AppleDash contest! The long wait is over!
We had a staggering 17 entries this time with a whole lot of first-time entrants, as well as the return of some seasoned veterans. In all, you all wrote 205,267 words (the longest entry being 30,005) over 57 chapters. That's seriously impressive!
RariJack ain't a bad ship by any merits, and it certainly features an interesting dynamic. Bookplayer wrote about it once - something about it being the most romantic/dramatic/tragic ship? She brought up some very good points.
That said, AppleDash is, well, AppleDash. It just works.
RariJack is about the drama, yes. Don't get me wrong, as friends their back and forth banter is great and excellent. But as people (well, ponies)... those two in a long-term relationship? It's just not stable, nor will it be healthy. Which is essentially what Book was saying. Theirs would be a romance where they're very passionate for a few months, break up in a nasty fashion, more months go by, they get back together, rinse and repeat. It's just not a healthy thing.
(That and too often people think there's a working relationship because the two can 'change' the other to be more or less of something. That's not really how relationships work...)
Done.
My Task is done Oh! great appledash master.
