Holla!
I have a son! The tiny human baby is called Teddy and was born on the 17th- in the run-up and the last few weeks I've sort of dropped off here. But now I'm back- got my lunch hours to myself at work again, so Raindrops' Wrap Up should be updating a lot more often now. Hurrah!
Latest Stories Raindrops is just your average Ponyville pegasus looking forward to her favourite day of the year- Winter Wrap Up. But what happens when she finds a weird book under the snow on her front doorstep?
You decide!
Raindrops' Wrap Up is a "choosable path adventure" that we'll write together! I'll provide the outcomes- all I need from you is suggestions on each chapter for what to do next. I'll write up a maximum of three suggestions for each one, and we'll see where we go from there!
EDIT: lilspikeywikey over on youtube has embarked on a bold reading of this ridiculous experiment! Click here to go have a listen.
What's going on here?
What's going on here is that this is going to be a 'choosable path adventure'.
What's one of those?
Really? Okay, well, a choosable path adventure is like a regular story, but when you're reading it instead of the main character doing what they want to do, they have to do what YOU want them to do.
Oh cool! So is it finished?
Not yet. And I'll need your help.
Okay, so Pinkie's a demon, alright? And her non-euclidean cookies are-
Hold yer horses, kiddo. I'm doing the writing. All I need from you are decisions about what to do next. When you read a chapter, at the bottom there will be at least one of the following:
1) choices to make, and links to follow if you want to make those choices
2) a request for more possible choices in the comments
3) THE END
If you just want to read the story, follow the link for the choice you want and it'll take you to another chapter in this story. If there's a request for choices, and there's not a choice you like, then please make a comment explaining what you'd like Raindrops to do. If there's a Requests closed for this chapter! under the choices, then that means you were too slow this time and you'll just have to make do with the choices that are available to you. If it's THE END, then hooray! You have completed Raindrops' Wrap Up. Good for you!
You'll write up every suggestion?
Nah. There's a maximum of three choices and I'll usually add them in the order they're asked, but please refrain from "asking" an entire path through the story. Lets get as many ponies in as possible! Also, no Mature requests, please. That 'Teen' rating is non-negotiable. Finally, I get final discretion over which choices I go for. If I didn't go for your choice, please don't take it personally- you'll get other chances to put requests in!
Why Raindrops?
Why not? She's a background pony with no canon personality, so you can feel free to make her whatever kind of mare suits your fancy.
Why the "Random" tag?
Er, this could literally go anywhere. There could be comedic paths, romance, deep interpersonal tragedy, the end of ponykind, dismantling Equestria as a memetic construct created by the inhabitants of a pony gulag in the Lunar republic- what else could I have tagged it as? Also, if we actually include all of those things, I will count myself as having won a small prize.
How big is this going to get?
Let's find out.
Alright, let's get going!
Sweet! Please click Chapter One to start Raindrops' Wrap Up.

Fluttershy's sent a letter to Rarity: ‘Please come and visit me tomorrow. I don’t know what to do.’
She's found something on the borders of the Everfree. A changeling. But what is she supposed to do with it, now she's brought it into her home?
This is horror, folks. If that is not your bag then I am pretty sorry! This is emphatically not in the same universe as my other fics.

Twilight's cutie mark is fading, and Celestia sends her a series of lessons to rekindle her passion for magic- and for friendship. Twilight must study the magics her friends possess, as well as casting a serious eye on her own gifts.
This is technically a sequel to "Fixing Up Miss Smartypants", so I totally recommend that you read that first. It's set five years later.

Big Macintosh had a perfectly good reason for taking Twilight's doll; he wanted to use it to finally start a conversation with her. But Applejack's having none of it, Rarity's getting the wrong idea about everything, and the Cutie Mark Crusader Matchmakers are about to really throw a spanner in the works! A comedy of errors launching a full fleet of ships.

The wait is ogre.
Thanks for the fav and congratulations on being a dad
>>372447 There are two different characters in Fallout 3, one named Arkansas, and another named Pinkerton. I just thought it was some obscure reference.
>>372413 If it is I don't know about it! I never played Fallout. Is there an Arkensaw or a Pinkerton in it? Or an Arkensaw Pinkerton?
Your name wouldn't happen to be a Fallout reference, would it?
>>208556 Ha, thanks so much! I'm glad you liked them.
I read DI first because it was shorter- it gave me a chance to see whether it was worth committing to a longer story (I hate leaving things unread!) and it really was. You're an excellent writer. I've not finished Rites yet, but I'm really enjoying it- you've got a real knack for action scenes, which is hella rare and which I'm absolutely loving.
I don't normally do comments for favs, but I loved Fixing Up Miss Smartypants and Three Magics, so I feel I have to make an exception. Thanks for the favs on Rites of Ascension and Designing Intrigue!
On another note and out of curiosity, I noticed you fav'd DI first. Did you find and read that one or Rites first?
Hey dude!! How are you and your wife/gitlfriend(???) doing??
And is she as crazy with the preganncy as Twilight is in this one, Unplanned Parenthood???
>>99334 beautifully, and thank you so much!
I don't know, to be honest with you. If there is a continuation of the Smartyverse, it won't be focussed on Twilight and the mane 6; their stories are sort of finished (well, except for Twi and Big Mac, but a sequel that focussed on them would kinda negate the new-relationship-possibility that Three Magics ends on).
If I were to write another, it would likely focus on Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Dinky's new adventures in Canterlot. We'd only find out about the other characters as sort of side notes. At the moment it's not something I'm planning to write- I may change my mind, though.
I hate to sound rude, but i was wondering if there was ever going to be a story about what happened after the events of Three Magics? It was a beutifully (sp?) crafted piece of work, but left me wanting more.
