Hello my readers, witty, wonderful, and wise!
So, I hope you all enjoyed the Skywriter story -- I certainly did. Now I can offer up as a suggestion yet another one: A Filly's Guide to Not Making Headlines by the inimitable Bradel. The fic is short and sweet and reminds me, a bit, of my own Civil Service stuff with a very strong dash of Original Flavor. I swear this could very well be a (very very good) episode of the show itself.
So. A Filly's Guide to Not Making Headlines. Read it. You won't be sorry. Promise.







Required Pony Reading, Short Form 









-A man in a white suit, red tie, and blank white mask wearing white gloves walks in.-
Well hello there! I saw what you did to Bad Horse after he destroyed that universe. Impressive work I must say.
-Glances down at wrist.-
I do apologise, I still have a lot of work to do for Master Zel, but I will say one thing before I go. . . I'll be watching and documenting your progress from now on.
-Snaps fingers and creates a crackling emerald green portal of Magic.-
TTFN.
-Exits through it, the portal closes with a 'Pop!'-
>>469949 Aww, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry. I just figured I needed to post something that'd show up on Poptard's feed to explain why I just followed him too.
>>469909
I apologize. I did not want to complicate matters, but, yes, you are of course correct. You told me Skywriter followed someone who had very few followers, but I do believe I found out about the troping myself.
I did not mean to slight you by eliding your involvement.

Ahem. <cough> This isn't exactly true. You were told about Skywriter following this upstanding individual by someone who occasionally mines watchlists to find interesting people.
When you have someone like Skywriter who only follows fifteen people, and one of those people has no stories and only five... oh wait, six... followers; well, it's bound to attract a little notice from, shall we say, interested parties.

Bad Horse did!
But thanks for linking it anyway.
It's amusing to know footnotes make a lot people instantly think of me. Hah! Insanity does pay off.
Has anyone linked you to this yet? Because you were my first thought.
>>464896
Well, I saw Skywriter followed you, see, and clicked through to see why. Then I saw you were a prolific troper and decided to follow to see when you tropify your next story. I'm a massive TvTropes fan -- it's how I found out about FiMFiction and ponies, for that matter.
Thanks for the watch, although I mustache
you why. Surely it can't be because people read my TVTropes page, no?
Still, 5 followers is still 500% more than I expected. Thanks again!
Today I caught myself daydreaming about Twilight Sparkle Makes a Cup of Tea while in the kitchen this morning, after having read it forever ago. I still get enjoyment out of that fic.
I wanted you to know.
