Tied for first place in the Sketch Contest for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Group. The prompt was a few YCH-style sketches, and we were to write something that the sketch could be used for as coverart. We're on Discord here if you'd like to join us.

Twilight awakens one morning with an odd tic: she can't stop talking in cliches and phrases. All this, on the eve of a big speech in Canterlot, too. Starlight tries to help, but might her magical 'remedy' cause more problems than it solves?

Created as a companion piece to Twilight And Friends Can't Stop Rhyming, but this is just a bit longer.

Featured from 25/5/18 to 26/5/18. Yippee!

In the wake of a harrowing experience in the caves beneath The Pie Farm, Pinkie Pie is left twice-cursed—first by disturbing visions, and then by a question: will she ever sleep again?
