My Scrapbook

This is where I'm putting a few fanfics that either aren't ready to publish at the moment, or that I don't plan on publishing. Keep in mind that anything here may be incomplete, and may never be completed. And it may be a few revisions short of being well written anyways. Read at your own risk!

Raindrops on Roses - Cancelled - Complete Oneshot

When Roseluck falls off a ladder, Raindrops is right there for her, ready to help her as much as she can. But will Raindrops ever be able to admit her true feelings for Rose?.

Unwanted Attention - On Haitus

Abandoned at an orphanage at birth, life there has never been fun. Especially when other ponies find out her real name...

This fanfic is on hiatus basically because I wasn't too sure where it was going past her first day at school. I do like the character and the first chapter, though, and thought I'd put it here so I don't forget about it.

Fluttershy's Project - Cancelled / Incomplete / Fragmented

Fluttershy has never shied away from taking in animals that are abandoned or need her help. What happens when one day, a young filly comes to her attention?

Yeah, this is one I cancelled. I started rewriting at one point, to try and salvage it, but it's too similar to one of my other projects. I still have a soft for it, and would like to do something with it, but it seems unlikely.

Here's the rewritten chapter, which actually came before the rest chronologically, the original ones, and a few loose scenes and notes.

Well, you keep having your new fanfics come out when I'm getting ready for work and have just enough time to read and favorite them... :scootangel:

And looks like it'll be interesting. I'll definitely be watching to see what happens. Though I suspect I'll have more of an impression when the next chapter comes out, since we haven't really been introduced to the main characters yet...

Hmm...*checks his watch* Yup, another story online, and another fave from you.  It is indeed just like clockwork.  Hope you enjoy and err... watch out for the ending when it comes up.  I think I may have finally topped Flight Camp in terms of impact on that one.

np. I might add it to my master list of groups on Twilight's Library, but I'd kind of like to keep that at groups that at least have a dozen members. I've been thinking of adding a thread for other groups that aren't large enough for the main page, and if I do, I'll stick it there till it's larger...

Though, you know, we really need some sort of image we can put on our page indicating that we are certified, card-carrying gods of whatever tier. Gimmicks like that are always fun...

Touching Moments · 10:44am

Just thought I'd look back at Family Appreciation day, and saw Diamond Tiara and her father sharing a shoving loving moment...

Of course, this is the same episode that has Apple Bloom smacking her grandmother on the flank.

They sure make it easy for me to write dysfunctional family relationships... :scootangel:
