Hello, all. Just a heads-up that I've posted a new little snippet in Dueling Keyboards, my especially short story collection, which should be linked over to your right. It was inspired by a card game, and not my usual one.

"Baking With Surprise And Pinkie"
STARRING:
Surprise
with Pinkie Pie
"Surprise here!" The white mare cheered, smiling at the camera. "And, I'm here with..."
"Pinkie!" The pink mare cheered, throwing her hands into the air.
"And, today on Baking With Surprise And Pinkie we will show you how to bake..."
Hi there!
So while working on Their most faithful Student I made a short little intermission chapter about Celestia and Starsong. Which got me going on something shorter and cute. The story is going to be a one off short of around the 12,000 word mark. It's going to be S.F.W. compared to my other story, at the most there will be snuggles, much snuggles and cuteness.
Another update to Dueling Keyboards, this time featuring the twin Twilights and certain aspects of human world culture that seem less than likely to appear in Equestria. Enjoy!
I had one of those pesky ideas that just doesn't want to expand to two kilowords. As such, onto Dueling Keyboards it goes. Enjoy.
Wait, actual shorts happened? I only know of them because of PP's post.
Anyway, here's a link to the EQD post containing them... ---> Link <---
And now some one-two sentence reactions to each of them:
I'm making a few one shots for different stories. This is where I will write about my upcoming stories and a short summary about them.
Have you guys been keeping up with the recent EQG shorts? I haven't had much to say about them because they've been... kinda dumb, mostly? But they seem to be getting better and better. With "Best in Show" promising continuity, I was actually looking forward to the next one, and...
Well, just look at the blog title. You can watch it below.
Haven't been talking about the shorts lately, but these three came out with a shared title, so I guess that's worth a blog? Links are here.
Seriously great episode but seriously. First of all, I don't know why I stopped at episode 12- maybe that was the newest one or maybe it was just a bad run of episodes before this but this episode is awesome.
Dream magic is awesome and I have loved the idea of a dreamwalking Luna since she did that a few times but this is another level.
Bit childish though going from a Y7 rating to a Y that's kind of disappointing.
Celestia: "Oh my! I finally have a letter from Shepherd! Let's see..."
Letter: "Dear Princess Celestia. Today I learned that while friendship can be complicated it is actually more resilient than I thought even between species and with patience we can reach out and realize that this letter is actually a distraction while I steal your cake sorry it was for a bet I lost this should be a long enough of a distraction for me to get away later!"
Celestia: "Wait wha-"
Shepherd returns to his home, a great deal on his mind as he ponders the Princess's offer. His lusts aside, having a child is a big responsibility. Sure, he wants to be a father. He's always wanted to be a father.
But in a very real way, becoming a father here will mean that he's given up all hope of ever returning home to Earth. Because he couldn't just abandon his children or their mother. He'd choose them over ever going home to his planet.
Shepherd: "Hey Twilight. I'm off to Canterlot!"
Twilight: "Oh? What's the occasion? Didn't you just get done with one of your meetings with the Defense Council?"
Shepherd: "Oh, no. That snoozefest is over for another month. I'm off to help the Princesses with Luna's therapy."
Twilight: "Princess Luna's therapy?"
Shepherd: nods "Yeah! Apparently I'm pretty good at massages and touch therapy is really helpful for someone who spent a thousand years in isolation."
Shepherd went out with Pinkie Pie to hear one of Maud Pie's stand up routines. Pinkie was as excited as she ever was, practically bouncing up and down in her chair. Shepherd sat in the other chair, a bit cramped given it was built for a pony, but he tried to be as comfortable as possible.
Shepherd: "So, Maud's a stand up comic?"
Pinkie: "Oh yeah! She's hilarious! You'll love her!"
Shepherd: "Well, I'll give it a shot."
Pipp is being bad at sneaking.
"Thunder, light them up." - Wait, isn't burning somepony alive a war crime?
"We thought you were the queen" - Pipp, you seriously need glasses.
"I knew this would happen..." - Why didn't you prevent it then, Zipp?
"...show the queen you care about her." - Zipp, I didn't know you were into incest? And with your own mother!
Wait, the queen had 'Get surprised' on her to-do list?
Shepherd is taking in the sights of Manehattan, looking around the park. He buys a hotdogs, tries it... And then begins choking as his face turns red..
Shepherd: "HRUKK! HACK! HARGLE!"
He bursts out of the bushes in front of some well to do mares, trying to ask for help.
Shepherd: "HRRRAAAGGHKKK!!!"
Mares: "EEEEEK!"
Of course, alternatively for the Equestria Girls Verse...
Sunset Shimmer stands in front of Shepherd with a smirk.
Shepherd: "Hello... I kind of need to get to class."
Sunset: "Listen you little punk, I rule this school! You're nothing to me and you'll like it!"
Shepherd: What is she, an 80s movie bully?
Shepherd: "... Uh... Huh. Well! You have a nice day now."
Sunset: "Wha... Why aren't you intimidated?!"
Shepherd hums a bit as he gets up from bed. He walks into the bathroom, and examines his face. He then pulls out a toothbrush, some toothpaste and begins to brush his teeth.
Shepherd: "Hrr hrr... Hrrr..."
It feels... Strangely tingly. He leans in to look at his teeth... And sees tiny, mite-like creatures skittering all over his pearly whites.
Outside...
Shepherd: "GYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
I'm starting to get bored. I see you know, 252 views on my first chapter, and 12 likes, and I think. (That's a good start. Good start.)
Then I see that only one person's bothered to talk to me, and it just dies. Questing's so much more interactive than fanfiction... But I'm not giving up. Hopefully, people start interacting with me and my story, beyond putting it in their 'read later' list.
