I'm a linguist. I like ambiguity more than most people.

"Hey, Applejack?"

"Yeah, Sugarcube?"

"How come you knew what to do to fight off a chimera, anyhow?"

"Shoot, Apple Bloom, ain't I ever told you the story of Goldie Delicious and the Three Heads?"

"Nuh-uh."

"Well, snuggle up, little filly, because this story's as big a part of what it means to be an Apple as buckin' trees. Y'ready? Once upon a time..."


A cure for writer's block while I wait for editing on my other writing. An idea I've had running around my head for months and months, and finally got around to putting to metaphorical paper.

That was such a cute twist to the classic Fairytale!! Well written and fun!! Here's a Derpy! :derpytongue2:

The first head was too hungry. The second head was too sleepy. But the third head was juuuuust right... in terms of wanting to eat the protagonist. Good thing a chimera is a democracy. Thank you for this.

5977417 Glad you liked it. And just like a real democracy, one party tends to have all the biggest and most useful muscles.

I really enjoyed this story, and I was all ready to rank it third, just behind the top two. But then it occurred to me that this was a pony fairy tale, not a chimera fairy tale. We were explicitly not going for the former, so unfortunately, that was enough of a knock to knock you out, at least for me it was.

That said, I still loved the story. I thought you did a great job with it, even if it didn't quite fit into what the contest was about.

6107069 I figured that would happen. I was going to write this one anyway, I just figured I'd enter it just in case.

I loved it! My full review can be read here.

This was utterly gorgeous, and humorous to boot. I haven't enjoyed myself with a shortfic so much since I read Little Apple.
Excellent work.
