    BC2019 Top 16 Review: The Railway Ponies: Highball

    This is a review I did for "Luminaries," a now-defunct project I was invited to contribute to: getting a number of reviewers together to each write an in-depth essay on one of their favorite stories, each covering one by a different author. I jumped on The Descendant's The Railway Ponies: Highball as fast as I could, and as far as I know was one of only a few people (along with

    From Pratt St. to Pratt St. and Back Again: A Bronycon Report

    My Bronycon experience this year started out rough: following a weeklong push to get a presentation together for work and consequently not doing much travel prep ahead of time, I was up until after 3AM Tuesday the 30th, with a disappointing amount of time spent on something that ended up never mattering at all—getting together a couple Magic decks that I’d be OK with losing in

    Bronycon 2019

    In the airport, will take off in an hour. Looking forward to another con, hope to catch up with people from last time, meet some new ones. And pick up some books. Probably too many books.

    Also looking for suggestions of either things to do solo in Baltimore, especially Wednesday and Sunday nights, or info on open-invite/public/whatever con/pony people related events to check out if possible.

Bronycon 2016 Friday Typewriter Fics · 5:11am Jul 18th, 2016

Quills & Sofas was the beneficiary of an unusual gift: a manual typewriter left for public use in Quills & Sofas. It prompted an outpouring of spontaneous, mostly anonymous output from the guests.

Here's most of what came out of Friday:

Some metafic about the typewriter itself:

A fic in need of an editor. And as to its answer: turns out, where every fic takes its plot: :V

Very detailed Sweetie-as-Pinnochio prompt:

Who is Best Princess? Rosalina, or Daisy, or Someone Else? Is it all just Heresy?:

Breaking news: Truth:

Words are hard:

Letters to the princess and memes, also lovingly shitting on Pen Stroke:

Being the princess of fruit seems hard, or perhaps all too easy:

Somehow, I don't think this will be in high school classrooms all across America in 150 years:

Adventure games suck. If you're the one playing them:

Apparently, the end involves sitting on a blanket with your foalsitter:

A repeat, plus playing around:

Riff on The Shining

Well, at least she didn't need the fainting couch:

Courtesy of Wanderer D:

Just playing with it:

Has Rarity gone too far with the giant hats?:

Celestia deserves a break:

Tales of a bug:

Okay, but what does all work and no play make Jack?:
