    Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

    You probably know how this sort of thing goes. There you are, mowing your grass on a day that can't decide whether to shine or drizzle on you, a few years and counting into your non-writing streak. Whatever thoughts you're having are at the expense of your lawnmower picking a fight with every passing tuffet and losing.

    Tyomnaya strana

    Just as alicorns descend upon parched wastelands bearing storms and seeds, so too do kindly translators upon my horsewords. Dark Country's received a Russian translation by the kind efforts of

    A jolly update for folk who like either fanfic readings or The Motion of the Stars, and a downright rapturous one for folk who like both. My name is R has brought their vocal talent to bear on the story, complete with images and background music to help

    On Brains

    A nice breezy dialogue to ease in with:

    CARABAS’ COMMON SENSE: So, a hypothetical conservation for you.
    CARABAS: Two lines in and we’ve already got fictional discourse nested in the initial fictional discourse. Gosh, I must just love to live dangerously.

Impressive Autocrats Redux · 3:55pm Sep 29th, 2019

FanOfMostEverything wants us all to throw Equestrian royalty into a fanfic cage match again. This can only bode well.

Sign up and poach your own favourite horse authority figure and preferred means of making their life difficult if you're at all tempted to participate. It was excellent fun last time, and the more words we can overload the judges with, the merrier.

Without a doubt. The last contest produced some utter gems.

Wow! I'll have to pick out a good prompt to—

Now's an excellent time to break out the alt. If I should see a new user with an amply-mustachioed unicorn-Derpy avatar appear in that blog's comments, I won't say a word. :raritywink:

I only hope I don't make a hash brown of my submission like I did last time. Note to self: don't switch to another project three days before the deadline. And for god's sake don't try to write 15,000 words in that timeframe. :twilightoops:

Really? Then obviously, my reviewers didn't get the memo. :fluttershyouch:

When in doubt, double down. Triple down, even. 45,000 words the day before the deadline. I have faith in you.
