It’s happened again! Another author has risen to the challenge of the Not-A-Contest!
And as you might have guessed from the intro image, the protagonist is a griffon.
Today, it's been nearly three months since "Dreamwalker Dash" has been updated the last time. A lot of you probably think that the story is dead. It's not and it will update again and return very soon.
I wish I could say there was a good explanation for my absence. I wish I could report to you that I've managed to finish a bunch of projects and chapters while I was silent. I wish I could, but I can't.
A long overdue moment finally happens..... Chapter 2 of "Liza Doolots and the Candy Factory" releases, as announced on Monday. I hope you still remember this story, if you started reading it in December, because three months often seem to be three years in fandom time. I hope you won't cut the views too much compared with Chapter 1.
Okay, technically, your calendar does not say "Hearth's Warming Eve" yet if you are in the EST timezone. But two hours is close enough, right?
Like it's tradition for me since 2016, I have written a Hearth's Warming Eve story again this year. And like last year, it's a ponification of a movie!
I posted an expanded and revised version of a story I wrote for the “I Regret Nothing” writeoff today!

Trying to get back on the horse that is writing reviews (and reading pony stories), this particular set contained a surprising number of memetic stories.

Some stories on the site are rated mature to keep them out of the hands of children. Because, really, what child would lie about being 18 on the Internet?
Some of these stories are quite good.

Hi, Here is A PonyVerse Canon Idea that I Think should be Made:
They say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
In the end, though, I generally find it more like rolling a rock down a hill – once you get started, it is a lot easier to keep going.

Well, this is an interesting episode. I feel that the premise is a tad arbitrary— much like last week's episode, this is a lesson that Rainbow should already have long learnt. But in spite of that, the imagery is just so good. Holy crud, even when knowing the gist of the plot it was actually pretty exciting. So, as usual, have some thoughts!
I was originally planning on posting my TwiDash story today, but then I realized that today was the final day of Fan of Most Everything’s Imposing Sovereigns contest, which contributed several stories to today’s review set and will likely contribute several to the next one as well. As such, I felt like I’m sure a lot of folks’ feeds are full today, so my own story (which is basically done, though I’m still poking at a few edits) will likely go up tomorrow or Tuesday, largely depending on
So I don’t typically do episode follow-ups (as in, I never have and don’t really plan on doing them again), but this episode is relative to an important topic to me, and after throwing my thoughts into Discord, a friend suggested I make a blog post about it. Then Looking around a bit, I was surprised that there weren’t more people discussing the episode from this POV. So here we go, talking about how The Maud Couple relates to the portrayal of autism in mainstream media!

First and foremost, thank you.
A couple days ago, I did something extremely difficult. I came forward and asked for help. Not only help, but financial help in repairing my car and getting Painted’s car replaced.
And then you folks decided to completely overwhelm me.
