Bella Notte, better known to most as 'Boo' (or 'Baby Boo' to close family only, on threat of horn), is a Ponyville native -- daughter of one of the oldest unicorn families in the area, owners of the Vigne della Notte vineyards north of town -- but spends so much time travelling that she's often mistaken for a new pony when she does come into town.

A showmare specializing in the spooky, with sidelines in selling costumery, decor and novelties, Boo's biggest business season is naturally in the buildup to Nightmare Night, but she makes do the rest of the year roaming Equestria doing themed parties, haunted houses and shows.  Much to her annoyance, she seems fated to encounter creepy mysteries, or at least ghost-centric real-estate frauds, wherever she goes.

There's also probably a human involved somehow in her various online appearances, but that hardly seems important.

I started out just wanting to paste that image of a vaguely unnerving Twilight Sparkle mask onto a screenshot from Venture Bros.  Somehow it turned into this big honking thing, with a whole lot of the sort of Photoshopping that puts much effort into producing something that looks rather pedestrian, such as the fact that the original screenshots all had the Adult Swim tag in the lower corner.

Linked instead of inserted because it's a big image.  Warning: technically contains some spoilerage for season 4 of Venture Bros.  Also unlikely to make a whole lot of sense if you haven't seen the scene in question.

tl;dr: Creepy Twilight Sparkle mask is creepy.

Um, heh, well it's a bit embarrassing...I was looking at Wanderer D's apology blog post, and peeking in on userpages from commenters whose names I hadn't seen before, and I got a notification and kind of finger-derped, hit the wrong button.

I feel awkward saying "Oh, I only watched by accident"...*blushes madly*

I finished it! :yay:

you can't run 36k words on one concept and terrible puns -- or can you?

It seems that I can't, at any rate.  Kind of ran out of juice on the pure 'make-believe' story and had to step on the magic pedal to get the story to go anywhere.  I justify it to myself under the notion that the story is, essentially, a gentle satire of the whole FiM phenomenon, and that at least carries through the whole thing even if the honestly-more-nifty charm of 'ponies play with dolls' didn't quite stretch to a whole story.

your painstaking writing process

What a charmingly diplomatic way of phrasing it!  :raritywink:

Okay, well, I can't predict with anything like certainty what might actually come next, let alone when, but I can at least share the ideas that have made it to the 'some parts typed out' level.

* On the comedy side, at least three ideas for strictly 'episode-style' stories -- roughly 22 minutes of 'screen time', emphasis on things which can be seen or heard (as opposed to following the inner thoughts of characters or having exposition delivered by narrative), far less meta-humor and references than in MLPLP, and of course sticking strictly to TV-Y7 content.  One of these, starring the CMC, is far ahead of the pack at the moment.

* In a similar vein is a longer story meant to be suited as a theatrical FiM movie, for which the very basic summary blurb would be "Twilight and friends must rescue a newborn Princess from monsters that live on fear".  That one has a pretty complete outline but not very much yet written.

* On the more serious side, there's this very sad and moody piece, parts of which just kept popping up while I was trying to compose MLPLP, and which has the most text already written for it.  It started with what seemed like an idle thought-experiment type of question, "What if Celestia is not immortal, just quite old by pony standards?", and it kind of... grew from there.  The results so far have been this huge family tree / timeline image and a series of scenes in which ponies break down and cry.

At some point it looks to become a story, or possibly several, but well... these are some really good scenes, some of the best emotive writing I've ever done, still, it's just a collection of ponies crying.  Not exactly ready for publication unless and until it grows, y'know, a plot of some sort.

So that's the pony-related stuff bubbling amid the various pots on my conceptual range.   I'll be waiting as much as anyone else to see what boils over first.

You finished it!

And it's awesome! Probably one of the best comedies here on FiMfiction.

The "meta" side of ponies playing with dolls of themselves has great comic potential -- it's what drew me to this story in the first place. You kinda gave that up in the later chapter, but it turned out to be for the best: you can't run 36k words on one concept and terrible puns -- or can you? Either way, the solid plotline is definitely asset of this story.

Any more indications about what will come next? Mind you, I'm not asking when it will come -- clearly, this would be an overt insult to your painstaking writing process. But can you give us a sneak peek on what you're planning? If you're actually planning anything, which I assumed you were only based on your remark about your "next trick".
