    Every Page a Painting - Walls of Words

    Yup, hello, it's me, back on my typesetting binge again, with another "Every Page a Painting" to show you. And boy oh boy, do I have a real treat for you this time around: one of my favorite novels on this site, one that hasn't been typeset before. . . well, until now, of course.

    Every Page a Painting - By Any Other Name

    First of March, it's clear to me
    There's something that's uncomforting. . .

    Here I am again, about a fortnight after the first "Every Page a Painting", locked and loaded with a second one, whether you wanted it or not. Enjoy.

    Every Page a Painting - Click, Clack, Neigh

    I know, I know, it's quite bold of me to publish this on Valentine's Day of all days, but here it is all the same.

    If you don't like the timing, just come back tomorrow. I'll wait.

    If you're still here and you don't care about when you'd get this, all I can say is buckle up.

    (Disclaimer: everything you see here is work in progress and subject to change.)

    Ah yes, my hundredth blogpost on Fimfiction.

    I know I should try to find one single topic to spend it on, but I've got several going through my head and only one milestone to do it in, so. . . what the hell, I'll just talk about all of them.

    Buckle up; this is a certified Anthology Blogpost.™

Onset of the Mid-Season Hiatus · 2:14am Jun 13th, 2016


Even though it's summer. Source

Well, I'm going to do something about it.

Over the course of the mid-season hiatus, I'll be writing and publishing several stories-- written somewhat like television episodes-- to try to narrow the gap between "Spice Up Your Life" and "Stranger than Fan Fiction" (how ironic, the title!). I call it the Hiatusbuster.

By all means consider these so-called "episodes" non-canon in the strictest sense-- I'll write them to look like plausible episodes, but it very seriously doubt that DHX would, erm, "canonify" them. Their legal team, I believe, is just concerned that I'd sue them (equally unlikely).

The stories themselves will be spread across three or four chapters (to mimic commercial breaks), and will always be rated Everyone. Stories will be published every Saturday-- I'll aim for 8:30, but there's no guarantee that they'll make it on time. I may publish a sneak peak on Thursdays, if there's demand for them-- much like the episode trailers that Hasbro is so keen to release. I'll try to invoke morals that have not been previously covered in the show canon. Heaven knows that, as far as the show has come, there are still a few lessons left unspoken.

The list of stories that I intend to write and publish are titled as follows:

1. Day Break
2. Apple Gjak (CANCELLED*)
3. [CANCELLED]
4. [CANCELLED]
5. [CANCELLED]
6. [CANCELLED]
7. [CANCELLED]
8. [CANCELLED]
9. [CANCELLED]
10. [CANCELLED]
11. [CANCELLED]

*See here.

As the series progresses, I'll update the preceeding list periodically, adding hyperlinks to released stories and announcing new ones, so be sure to check back often.

If you're interested in this project, then please, spread the word-- I don't get a lot of attention as an author, and every little bit of publicity helps. If you're not interested, then feel free to disregard this post (and the stories produced thereof).

If you have any questions regarding the Hiatusbuster project, please speak up. I'd be happy to answer.

Good night, and good luck.

Actually, I think the next episode is Fault in Our Cutie Marks, since that IS episode 9 in production order, and said episode got moved around.

Possibly. Let's see what hits the airwaves in September.

4048914 I actually think the hiatus won't even last that long.
But, either way, we'll have to wait and see, yes.
