I didn't write it.

Yes, yes, I know. But please, allow me to elaborate. By now, most of you will have read THIS – and if you haven't, go do so, or this will be pretty confusing – and you are now well aware of the spectacular entity known simply as The League of Extraordinary Gentlecolts. You might have seen a certain logo flying around a lot – which I designed, by the way – , appearing in the avatars and pages of writers of varying prestige. Some of us have been giving you hints about our little project. Some of us have slapped you in the face and tried to make you see our little ploy. But that's neither here nor there, because that's the other pones. This is all about moi. Because that's what our individual blog posts are all about.

So the main thing that will come to your mind is simple: "Why the heck did you decide to do this?". Simply put, when I was randomly approached by Obselescence through IRC to join in on this little project, it sounded like fun. I had nothing better to do, and I was between stories, so why not? With this in mind, I hopped into what I thought would be an amusing activity. And then, as the gentlemen say, shit got real.

Before I knew it, this was escalating bigger than I'd imagined Big name authors started popping up, and things were starting to expand. And hot damn, before I knew it, I was paired up with none other than one of the few authors I respect and admire, shortskirtsandexplosions.

Alright, maybe not pure luck. I might have begged a little. A little. Gimme a break.

And so, our magical adventures began. I mean, two of the purplest writer pones in the fandom working as a pair? What could possibly go wrong!?

Oh... everything and more. Right.

After much deliberation over a prompt, we finally settled on a subject that neither of us had expected to take a swing at: Human in Equestria. And so forth we went and wrote many words of the pony kind. I wrote around 8 thousand words. Skirts wrote about 40 thousand. He was done before me. Sigh. Then, we did as told, and we did the ol' switcheroo. Despite my blubbering, skirts and I were the first ones done, and the results were incredibly polarizing. I hosted skirt's fic, and as it stands at 37:1 with 27 comments. My fic, Anno Domini, is at some other number that's a lot higher than that. I'm too lazy to open another tab. And it also got featured.

So what does that mean? About life, the universe, and ponies? I don't know. I'm just doling out the facts. What I will speak of about in the end is of a simple question: With all the inevitable ruckus this will kick up, was it all worth it?

Oh, absolutely.

I got a chance to work with one of my favorite authors. I got a chance to chat with friends, and make new ones. I got a chance to meet incredible authors and learn that they're pretty cool guys. I got a chance to finally write a story that I've been meaning to write for ages.

So no, I regret nothing.

Now then. Cutting to the chase.

If you liked I Met A Pony In Hell (And We Kicked Ass Together), then go follow the glorious motherhubber who wrote it. Like... now. And you know. Maybe read Anno Domini if you haven't already. Pretty please with Sweetcream Scoops on top.

Before I close this up, I'll make my final public service announcement. Before all you internet people. Like a quirky romantic comedy protagonist, naive but with a good heart. Shortskirtsandexplosions, it's been an honor and a privilege to get to work with you, as it was to work with the rest of the gentlecolts. And moreover, it's been an honor and a privilege to be here with the lot of you, the faithful readers. I love you all so much that I can't hold the love back.

Have a nice day.
