Belabored Princess: Double Reminder Edition · 10:36pm Oct 21st, 2019
Polite reminder that we've passed the halfway point for Imposing Sovereigns II.
Additional polite reminder that Ponies: the Galloping, the actual MLP-based Magic cards that genuinely exist, go on sale tomorrow on the Hasbro Pulse store. Yes, they're really calling it Ponies: the Galloping.
That is all. For now.
I'm definitely going to try and get my hands on those first thing tomorrow
Oh jesus, it's $50?

The good news: $30 goes to charity with every purchase.
The bad news: You're still paying fifty bucks.
I wish they told us exactly when it was going on sale.
Is it bad I sort of want Oversaturated Ditzy to just have these cards, with no explanation given?

Thanks for the reminder about the pony cards.
Edit: I swear I'm gonna start on that imposing sovereigns entry soon.
Though making another 5 color manabase is going to sting, I'm almost certainly putting together a Twilight commander deck, with all the cards representing characters from the show she'd call on for help, spells she would cast, etc. Morophon as Thorax, Tree of Redemption as the Tree of Harmony, Palace Familiar as Owlowisious, etc. I might tap you (heh) for ideas.
Oh Celestia I'm going to die and it's going to be my fault.
Wait. Wait. Wait. We were suppose to write a fic? Not just... You know... Sit around and think about writing for a month?
I've got my first draft done and am waiting on editors to go through my entry. Hoping to post my story over the weekend.
Good luck to all the other contestants!
I’m definitely going to get an entry in. I mean, it’d be beyond absurd if I didn’t.
That doesn’t mean I can’t procrastinate a little longer, mind you.
As previously noted, I am super lazy. It's like regular lazy plus a cape and a circus strongman costume (yes, that's where the "underwear on the outside" look originally came from, look it up if you don't believe me)
Bring it.
This story is so good. And by 'good' I mean catering specifically to my more pg-rated fetishes and emotional and narrative needs. But hey, maybe other people will like it too.
I'm afraid I need to pull out of the contest. I've had family visiting, and my job's going to be busy enough I don't think I'll finish my story.
Sorry!
I just finished:
What'll hafta be the final edits on my entry in 5143433's slightly shorter than usual short story contest over on the Writeoff site, so I hope to get back to my entry for this contest tomorrow.
So much going on!

Sorry to hear that. I hope you explore the idea without a time or word limit.

I'm definitely feeling this at the moment! I have a great idea. I even have a rough chapter outline. But the actual paragraphs just Will. Not. Come.
But I will persevere!
As for the pony cards... I wants them, I waaannntttsss them. I even has a USian MtG friend to whom I'm sure I could arrange for them to be posted. But I don't think I would actually find opportunities to play them, and to have them sitting in a binder would... well, it would still be very cool, but it'd also be disappointing.
The playmats lasted two minutes

I'm not in the least bit surprised. Thanks for letting me know they were accepting purchases now. I figure there's good odds the actual card sets will be sold out by the time I get home.

The cards went on sale at noon EDT, and for now they're still available. Hopefully there are a lot more cards than playmats.
I ordered four copies, because ponies.
I just bought 2 of the card sets, so it's looking like they're going to last a fair bit longer than the playmats. This is also a somewhat refreshing change from the nonsense that was the last big promos (namely the HASCON promos and the Mythic Edition). Being able to show up four hours late and finish my purchase from a competent webstore is not something I usually expect from Hasbro
Meh, I got the official crossover polyhedral dice, because that's my nerddom. These I'll pass on.
Progressing slowly through my entry...so effing slowly...
