... the Snippet Season One Finale will be posted!
It's been a year to the day since my first fic's upload. Those of you whom I spoke with in the comments may remember that my aim was for the sequel to go live on the one year anniversary, though suffice to say it's not even close to finished. Between the Snippet Series and It Takes A Princess, the Innocent sequel hasn't had much of my attention for the past few months. While I'm happy that my current works are being well-received, I still want to honor my promise to
As indicative by my late at night blog post and lack of new chapter for It Takes A Princess, the current chapter just plain isn't coming together and needs more work. This probably goes without saying at this point, but I'd rather submit no upload than a mediocre one.
Rest assured that this fic will be done before the August 1st contest deadline. I'm determined to not fall completely off the wagon.
As stated in the blog title, my ongoing Snippet Series will be on the back burner through the first half of July as my efforts go towards my ongoing entry for Nitro Indigo’s Swapped Roles contest. I know many of you newcomers are Following for more short stories like Cover to Cover, and I promise they’re coming eventually.
Splitting my attention between Nitro Indigo's Swapped Roles contest as well as continued work on the Snippet Series has left me with the worst outcome: two partially finished prompts, neither fit for uploading by my self-imposed deadline. I blame no one but myself.
Courtesy of the very talented u/readynwillin on Reddit, I absolutely love this rendering of Stock's fog tail as well as how the low lighting makes her eye color pop. Per her helpless expression, this particular pic takes place immediately after Rainbow Dash's immortal line from the fic:
Contest Invitation
Hey, all. My part time proofreader Nitro Indigo runs a group that curates stories based around Swapped Role stories. That means stories similar to the famous Lunaverse created by RainbowDoubleDash, the contest's judge.
Super stoked about this one. It’s over 10,000 words, triple the length of my average Snippet upload. It outta be pretty easy to figure out which chapter was my solo contribution just by the language used, but naturally it won’t make much sense without reading the rest of Zecoroota. Hope y’all like the finished product!
... and it's a collaborative fic written by Kodiologist and myself! Clocking in at four chapters and over 10,000 words, Zecoroota is the most ambitious fic I've ever a hand in. In an effort to whet your collective appetites, Here's the cover art for the story:
As alluded to in the italicized notes of every Snippet Series entry, this anthology is a joint project shared by myself and Str8aura. And though the latter has put out nearly triple the number of Snippets I have (including the Botany And Adaptation guest upload from a few weeks back,) his stuff deserves more traffic than its getting. So here’s Str8aura’s current catalogue: a whopping twenty-five Snippets for your reading pleasure.
