    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

Oh, hey, remember how I write stories about Cloudsdale that aren't quite in line with canon? Like, Canon-friendly but a little chunkier and steampunkier? Well, if you want a visual aid for what Nighttime Cloudsdale (as pictured in "Spa and Order") kinda looks like in my head, you could make a far worse depiction than "Light Falls" by Rain Gear:

Plus there's some added Derpy there if you like that sort of thing. I hear she is popular or something.

Aaaaaand now you just made me realise that this was a really bad week to have worked out how to turn the mature view back on, wasn't it?

So, do I turn it off again (if I even can) or risk needing anti-francium to clean out the inside of my skull come Wednesday...?



Look, it's panto next week, I get distracted and always forget this dang thing comes along this time every year.

Well stocked on lager for an evening of drinking alone. :yay:

Borderline-hikikomorism is a decent lifestyle.

Exquisite. And the cityscape isn't bad either.

Sounds like a fun evening!

What does valentine's horse do on horse valentine's day? She doesn't seem to need a special day to meddle with love. :duck:

She squeals with excitement of course.

For the real answer, at least in my writing universe, read the next C of C story, coming out approximately never based on rate of production.

I first read that as C&C. I.e, Command&Conquer. Which would be an... unusual definition of Valentine Horse's Special Talent.

Beautiful.

Though, I misread that for a moment as "Nightmare Cloudsdale".

I guess that'd be some version of the Rainbow Factory horror?

Beware the Pegasus Device!

I write stories about Cloudsdale

That is indeed a gorgeous piece of artwork.

Hoping that Horse Valentine's Day is finding you in good health and better spirits!

Back on the slow upswing for the moment. Thanks for everything.
