One more news item I forgot to mention last night: Tzardok has translated some of my early cards into German! You can find them here. Massive thanks and props to him.

Firstly, context:

I bring this to your attention not only because it jives with my whole schtick, but also because it got me coming up with additional verses.

Commissions are currently open for Bevin Brand, former Equestria Girls storyboarder and half of the incredible team behind Empathy for the Devil and its related, equally great stories.

You can probably guess why I'm bringing her up...

RB_ has posted some fascinating ideas about Fimfiction as a card game. You can see the concept outline here and some example cards here. It's a delightful concept, and I naturally felt the need to highlight it.

You may be familiar with Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student, one of the longest-running stories on the site. Well, one of the authors has a spinoff where the eternally frustrated (in every sense of the word) Twilight Sparkle of that setting gets transposed into other stories

It's always a delight when someone reads one of my stories. All the more so when they let me know beforehand. Many thanks to Skijarama for this one.

Story Shuffle was one of the more fun experiments I've done with ponyfic over the years: thirty-one oneshots, each based on a random Magic card. The Oversaturated World came from its portrayals of Sonata Dusk and the human Maud and Rainbow Dash. I really should do it again some time. But that's not why I'm bringing it up now

I'm split here. On the one hand, I'm always flattered to see a reading for one of my stories. On the other...

Did it have to be the fart joke?

You may have noticed a sizable influx of stories in the past few days, including my own Heir A-pear-ent. The due date for Tumbleweed's Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo arrived, and we all agreed to post everything at roughly the same time so everyone could find out who was assigned whom together. But I didn't write this blog solely for self-promotion.

Long ago, in the distant days of 2015, I wrote a reaction fic to "The Cutie Map" wherein Discord delivered an ultimatum to a freshly deposed Starlight: Abandon your quest for vengeance or face the consequences.

"The Cutie Re-Mark" aired. I followed through on his promise, taking Starlight to a world of true equine equality, where the only legacy ponies left were the mass-produced love batteries that powered the changeling nation of Omnifaria. And that would've been the end of it.

If you’re looking for “Father Knows Beast,” it should be just under this one in your feed. If you’d like to see an example of disunited nations even worse than “School Daze” and far, far funnier, read on.

Another contest in the books means another blog to commemorate all the entries. Let’s see how it all fares. See here for an easy-to-parse list of what inspired what. And remember, names have to match exactly for the “legend rule” to apply, so self paradoxes are easy in Magic.

“Oh FoME!” you cry. “Who is BEST AT PONIES?”

Well, that’s really a matter of opinion, but I can certainly tell you who claims to be. And he has strong evidence on his side.

We come the penultimate Moonstuck card blog… not counting the epilogue. If it’s after the end of the main story, does that make it postultimate?

In any case, let’s go see what Woona’s been up to.

My copy of Lyra and Bonbon and the Mares from S.M.I.L.E. has yet to arrive. I can only assume that Princess Twilight is still processing the Freedom of Information request. As the gears of Equestrian bureaucracy (and the USPS) turn, I’ll move up what would have been next week’s card blog.

This week, we have one of those awkward one-shot comics sitting between two multi-issue storylines, made all the more awkward by a marked absence of other comics to pair it with. As such, we’re drawing from one of the shorter stories folks have volunteered for cardification as well.

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’d love to discuss the IDW Cheesepie story, but the second half isn’t out yet. As such, we turn to a far more twisted form of love…

This week, we return to d20 Pony, the ongoing adventures and explorations of Trailblazer. (It’s also my birthday, but that has little bearing on the cards. )

This week, it’s time to look back a bit and consider the third in the noble line of Imposing Sovereigns.

We return to the ongoing adventures of Trailblazer, deep in the thick of things on the distant island of Midgard.
