Story Notes: What Lies Beneath · 8:33pm Aug 2nd, 2020
Written for the 100th Quills and Sofas speedwriting event!
I didn’t even make it in the top three, but I don’t feel bad about that. There was a lot of strong competition.

Some of y’all will be familiar with where Sweetsong finds herself, thanks to another story of mine you might have read.
Thanks to AlwaysDressesInStyle for pre-reading!
If I tell you the author I was assigned for Jinglemas is the only fimfiction author I have a T-shirt bearing the name of, then that rather gives his identity away, doesn't it?
It's rather nice to be assigned an author who you've read several stories by. It increases the pressure, I suppose, but it also gives you a clearer idea of what to aim for.
First off, let me thank my pre-readers! AShadowOfCygnus, metallusionismagic, MSPiper, and MrZJunior!
If you thought this was about something different, that’s your fault.
Ponies love snow.
More random horse facts than you can shake a stick at!
And if that wasn’t enough, I never sent it to my pre-readers, who might have questioned my sanity, or if you can follow an en dash with an em dash.
First off, a big thanks to AlwaysDressesInStyle and MSPiper for prereading, and AlwaysDressesInStyle for the coverart.
Sky Sweeper is a fanon name for a canon background pony.
Once again, we find ourselves on the eve of an election, and once again I decided to surpress the urge to do something political. You know, like Sunset Shimmer declares herself God-Empress of the United States.
It's ~back!~
First off, I gotta give a big thanks to MSPiper for pre-reading this a long time ago . . . seriously, the editing notes are from back in November 2020. I'd like to say I have a good excuse.
Remember how I said I should write more stories with ponies and trains? I wrote another story about ponies and trains.
A (long) while back, somebody commented on one of my stories--probably Silver Glow’s Journal--that they’d love to see a story about a gamer pony in South Korea, or that they were thinking of writing one (I can’t find the comment, so . . . if you follow me, you know who you are )
I lured some of you here by false pretenses! The horror!
Well, only slightly false pretenses, as those of y’all who’ve been around for a while know, when the Admiral is stressed out you get cute ponies.
Therefore, let me present a 6.4L engine replacement, a photo essay.
Special thanks to ROBCakeran53 for pre-reading and telling me what I already knew but still needed to hear. He wrote An Even Worse Self-Insert, you know.
If you got here without reading the previous blog post or Unity 2 you're gonna be confused. Just scroll through for the pony pics, or maybe skim it in the hopes of finding a useful horse fact.
Sorry for the delay in these notes . . . I simply didn’t have time to finish them, what with everything else that was going on.
Especially once the addition of my hot water heater leaking threw yet another wrench in the works.
