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.
First off, a big thanks to Somber, ROBCakeran53, and SirNotAppearingInThisFic for pre-reading!
Warning: spoilers beyond the break.
Chicago, the windy city! Somehow pegasi always seem to find themselves there, don’t they?
Thanks to AlwaysDressesInStyle for pre-reading!
It’s no secret I get a lot of ideas while at work. From things people say, to things I’m working on, to things I hear on the radio, to just the everyday minutia and what if there were a pony involved in the process?
Ever since I penned the first story, I thought about her buying things with her name on them.
One nice thing about being handsome and famousTM* is that you inspire others to follow in your hoofsteps footsteps. Such it is with this story--Nitro Indigo, inspired by my Not-A-Contest, decided to run her own not-a-contest, this one involving Equestrian tourists to Earth.
I wans't gonna write an April Fool's fic this year.
The adorable espionage continues!
First, let me thank my pre-reader, MSPiper, who’s currently dealing with me saying I’m going to finish something by a certain time, not finishing it on time, and then suddenly sending him a PM saying, “Oh, by the way, I just finished the latest chapter and want to publish in a few hours, wanna give it one more look?”
By now (’cause I’m late on the blog post), most of y’all will have noticed that neither Mongolia nor friction particularly feature in my latest offering. It’s also light on actual horses, depending on your headcanon.
There’s a reason for that.
A Jinglemas story for Emotion Nexus.
In case y’all don’t know who Lily Longsocks is, she’s relentlessly adorable.
Happy Labor Day, Y’all!
Here in Americaland, we set aside the first Monday in September to celebrate the working mare man. Also in Canada, incidentally; much of the rest of the world celebrates on May 1.
It’s no coincidence that all four of the stories I published over the weekend feature working mares and stallions.
It’s been a year since I launched the not-a-contest, and in that time there have been 31 stories written specifically (or not specifically) for the group.
That’s pretty good! Keep ‘em coming!
Wow, this is at least the second one-shot I’ve written involving ponies eating pizza. What were the odds of that?
For better or worse, not pre-read by anybody. Just like a Little Caesar’s Hot and Ready doesn’t get any inspection before it goes out the door . . . helps keep the price low, y’know?
Furry Foray Contest, a retrospective.
For anyone who was paying attention to this account or FimFiction in general, there were suddenly a bunch of crossover fics with very specific furry characters . . . somebody ran a contest. Probably can't link to it, 'cause the rules, but it was called the Furry Foray Festival.
Here we goooooo! As I try and remember all the different obscure references I put in this thing. If I miss one, anthro Sparkler is gonna come after me.
