I wrote a book! · 5:06pm Jul 20th, 2019
I thought some of you might be interested in stuff I've been up to.
I wrote a book!
Well, okay. It's a Transformers book. And it's a fan publication, done for a convention in August (TF Nation), with the profits going to a children's charity, Mary's Meals. It's based on the Micromasters, which were little Transformers from when I was a kid, which excitingly Hasbro have started to make new versions of this year.
I pretty much just made everything up, from the setting to the characters, with only the canon stuff being various names. As a result it is SUSPICIOUSLY SIMILAR to a lot of my pony fic in both style and characters (with the main character basically being how I write Twilight Sparkle but with a few less IQ points and being trapped in a millenia-old war).
Do you want to read it? Uuh well pre-orders closed in June (Ferret was the only pony-er who got a copy!) but if there's any left after the Con I can offer them to people, or see if there's any future interest in another run!
In other words, it's really good? F*** yes I want this book.
(Snerk!) Yep, I recognize the style just from the back cover.

I am very humble but I like to think it is!!
So, "What if Twilight and Trixie were both tiny alien robots who were in love," then. Got it.
Oooo. I'd love to read this, but I'm not in THE ENGLAND. Thought copies were only available at the con?
Still, if there's some way to get it to a dirty colonial, color me interested.

I put some up for preorder and have a few dozen for the con, I will make them available if any are left over
I also did a profile zine with some of the old 2k5 mush crew!

... Waitasec. 2k5? I'm wondering if we've had this conversation, but which era of 2k5? :P
5091787
Uuuh any time from 2001 to 2013 I think
In the hypothetical chance I got my hooves on a copy, do you think it would be appropriate to donate it to my local library?
5091768
I’m wondering this will be anything like when Twilight fought Death’s Head.
5091789
Well then, hi. I am, unsurprisingly, Jetstream :P
And Solder. And in the later days, Brash... I wasn’t really logging on much at that point though.
5091805
The name does ring a bell I think!
5091808
Yeah, it might be vague. I just realized I'd been drifting toward Mega Man MUSH in 2001, and I didn't have a 2k5 character from April 2001 to until 2005, when Scattershot gave me Brash without even reading the app in exchange for embarrassing information about my first few days on the MUSH :P
Were you Blueshift though? Cuz I'm racking my brain and failing to remember a Blueshift. I remember Redshift, and if I recall I suggested the name to him...
Ugh. it's been nearly 20 years. I'm getting too old for this shit.
5091816
I was blueshift from 2001 onwards, also TP wiz for a time
5091829
Hrm... Was Redshift an admin too, or am I getting him and you mixed up? :P
5091855
He was!
5091858
Good! Good! I'm not senile at 35!
this sounds good :D
