Captain Cadance and the Jewel of Canterlot · 10:29am Mar 4th, 2017
I normally don't mention my Stocking Stuffer Series. It's kind of the thing you just sort of accept and move on, like your racist uncle at Thanksgiving. It exists, and accepting that means half our work as done.
My last one was an interesting exercise due to me writing it at the last minute for Valentine's Day, and being on so many different medications, I may have been hallucinating a little. Stocking Stuffer 3: Candy Ass was half of that fever dream. This was the other half.
Either that, or I could pick the other writing prompt in my drug-fueled haze and have Cadance as a corsair lady kidnapping an effeminate Shining Armor and dining on that booty. No, seriously, some weird stuff comes up when I'm on medications.
It makes sense in context. I am actually developing a 400,000+ word epic involving pirates, and that story along with several drugs made for a kind of weird combination. So you know what? I started scripting.
Dread pirate Cadenza, mistress of the high seas! The Devil of the Anterlertic! She has been rumored to half talked her way past three naval schooners and pillaged a royal Man-o-war herself! She has now set her eyes upon a vessel carrying noble blood and intends to ransom the family back to Canterlot, but a brave, little stallion has caught her eye...
Go for it. But go as hard as you did for Stocking Stuffer 4. Because this deserves it.
