Share a Smile Across Fim:Fic! · 11:36am Sep 12th, 2017
Okay, this is of course a little different from my usual posts but two writers I follow and love the work of - Crystal Wishes and Carapace- have started the ball rolling on this challenge. (Might be others sure, but they are the ones I have seen.) Anyway here is the challenge:
Here's what I'd like everyone to do: write a blog post about someone (or someones!) who you don't normally interact with that you admire, look up to, or just simply want to praise in some way. Then tag it with Share a Smile, as well as the names of the user(s) you wrote about. If we're lucky—if enough of y'all participate—that person may just have the happy surprise of finding your post. If you could also include instructions at the bottom of your post for others who see it to do the same, that would be super!

So here are some smiles of my own to share with people:
I really haven't said much to Mono, but she has inspired me SO much with her work! With the insanely huge amount of time she has put into her The Enchanted Library story and the recently released sequel, I am just amazed with the beautiful work she does and the way she has with words. She inspires me to make my own stories beautiful, work on my foreshadowing, and improve overall. She is a phenomenal writer who I hope keeps up with her beautiful work and can one day publish brilliant original fiction that will make millions. Perhaps even be the next J. K. Rowling! Her skill far surpasses my own and even though sure she is popular, she deserves all the follows and all the love plus 100x more! 
Nightmare has done some editing for me on my most recent work, The Protector. I haven't gotten to know them too well yet, but they are such a warm, compassionate person! Every writer needs an editor, even more so for fanfiction I think, and they have helped me out so much on that! I look forward to getting to know Nightmare better in the future and you should all go love on them! I'm not the only writer they help out with editing either, not sure how many others are on their plate, but anyone who is willing to help out multiple writers with editing AND writes their own stuff too? Totally another user who deserves more love for the help they give and their stories. Keep up the great work Nightmare! *hugs* 
InkHeartBrony
Ink has a heart of gold, even if she writes a lot of dark fics. She is so understanding and willing to lend a hoof to help, or just be there to lend an ear for chatting. We've been chatting about her most recent story, fine-tuning it to make it 20% more awesome, and I have enjoyed so much getting to know her. You all should go read her stories as well, they are great! I think we met kind of randomly on one of the shared editing groups we are in, and have had a blast ever since then when we get a chance to chat. Like Nightmare, I hope we can grow closer as we work on stories and the like together and chat about nonsense stuff and the important stuff. Every time I hear from her I get a smile upon my face since she is so cheerful and bright to be around.
There are many more I could mention, but a good portion of those are users I am closer to so that will be saved for a different post. (Since this is supposed to be towards ponies you don't know as well.) Anyway have a wonderful Tuesday morning and Share a smile of your own with somepony/ies!
