Blog Posts I Wrote
I blog, a lot. And I know there are a few blog posts I wrote that people like to link to or refer back to. So here's a list of posts I've made that seem to get attention, or that I'm proud of and think people should read.
On Writing:
bookplayer states the obvious - in which I give myself (and anyone else who needs it) a lecture on what a writer can control.
To the reviewers and the reviewed- Writing advice for reviewers, about how to make authors want to hear from you, and for writers on when you should consider ignoring a review.
Tell, Don't Show. Yes, you read that right- Examples of some times where showing isn't the best thing for your story (no matter what EqD might tell you.)
How to Win Friends (And Influence Ponies?)- On why you should be writing blog posts, too.
The Writing Skill that Nobody Talks About- How to sell out in a way that's worth while.
On Shipping:
The Gone With the Wind approach to shipping - Where I explain why I really don't like FlutterDash, and am not nuts about RariJack, and list the ships I do like and why.
The one thing all romance/ship fics need to have - in which I discuss the importance of talking about stuff in a relationship.
How to recruit people to a ship- Where I admit that any ship can work, and explain how.
The intangible character in a romance- What if the ship itself is a character? Some thoughts on a different way of looking at ship fics.
On the MLP:FIM Shipping Survey:
Shipping Survey Results: Round 1- The Ships!
On Ponies and Fandom in General:
You like a girl show and that is SO AWESOME! - In which I compare ponies to classic girls book heroines.
My unsolicited thoughts on Rainbow Dash being gay - In which I rant against people who insult other people for thinking that Dash is/isn't gay, and give my own view on the subject based on Dash's personality.
My thoughts on canon, fanon, and Word of God- Um, what it says on the tin.
A thought about Twilight's change I haven't seen a million times before- My opinion on why Twilight might have needed wings.
Why Applejack is Awesome and Deserves More Fanfic- Where I outline how many interesting things there are about Applejack, so that people stop saying she's boring.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash knew this would be hard, but a long distance relationship was in their future from the start. A Wonderbolt and an apple farmer don't have a lot of time in the same place, so they do their best with letters and the occasional weekends. But when Applejack finds out that Rainbow Dash is on the cover of Flyers Illustrated: Wet Feathers Edition, it plays on a fear she never mentioned to Dash: Everypony knows that famous ponies are different from normal folks. . .
Right?
"Wet Mane Rainbow Dash," used in the cover image, is by Suikuzu.

Everyone knows that two mares can't have a foal. . . unless their best friend is one of the greatest magical minds in Equestria.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash went to Twilight Sparkle with a simple question: Could she make a spell that would allow them to have a foal together? After a year of magical research, Twilight thinks that she's done just that. But the spell is not without potential side effects, and AJ and Dash have to decide if they're ready to be part of a magical experiment that could give them a foal of their own, or cost Applejack her life.
Thanks to DbzOrDie and Jackie for proofreading, and to KrazyTheFox for the cover image.

The sequel to The AppleDash Project, but that was episodic you can jump right in! All you need to know is:
Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been together for more than a year now. Their relationship has blossomed through Discord, a changeling army, and a whole hoof full of crazy situations and dumb mistakes. They've managed to form a partnership and learned to work out their problems together, not an easy lesson for two tough, stubborn ponies.
But now Rainbow Dash is convinced that their lives are getting boring, and if there's one thing Dash doesn't like, it's boring. So Dash has set out to make her relationship with Applejack more interesting. . . and AJ's not so sure she likes that sound of that.
From the original AppleDash Project:
The AppleDash Project is a series of short fics attached to various episodes, detailing a relationship between Rainbow Dash and Applejack behind the scenes. The stories take place sometime during or shortly after the indicated episode.
This is not meant to start shipping wars, argue that AppleDash is canon, or offend other shippers. In fact, if you like the idea I encourage you to try it with other ships!
Teen rating means that there may be talking about sex, but nothing on screen. Expect sitcom-like innuendo.

Written for the The Great Shipping Collab.
Few ponies know that Daring Do is a real pony, her adventures only rarely bring her back to Equestria. But any time they do, she's drawn to a hut inside a gnarled tree in the Everfree Forest, where the zebra she loves waits for her. This time, Daring offers Zecora a choice, to send Daring off on another dangerous adventure, or keep her safe at home. To find the answer, Zecora will have to weigh heart against soul, and love against desire.
Based on a pairing randomly generated by Garbo802, preread by Garbo802, DbzOrDie, Jackie and First_Down.

>>495740 thank you for forgiving me.

Aw, when you deleted it I was about to respond that it was totally understandable.
I just feel like negative opinions of ships are better left to personal blogs and more closed communities. No matter which ship you hate, someone else likes it, and some of those people will be upset if a lot of people dislike their ship. That can lead to fights and stuff.
Anyway, no harm done! I'm not mad at you in the least.
I would like to apoligzize for the one thread i made that was stupid. Please forgive me
.
Sorry to pester you, and feel free to delete this comment, but today, I wrote a blog-review of Garbo802's "Cirrus" and I was wondering if you would not mind reading it and imparting your opinion on how I did. If that would be okay with you, of course.
>>477204
Fixed.
If you wanted comments on that blog post you're gonna have some trouble since there isn't a title to click on ;)
>>474791 Thank you. And thank you for the inspiring challenge! It has given me motivation to write tonight! (I wonder if I can pull of a ship a day?)
>>474764
Post links to the completed fics in the thread on the Intelligent Shipping Discussion group.
Question, on the Shipping challenge, how should we notify you that the stories have been completed?
I hope just because we disagree on a few things that there aren't any hard feelings between us. I respect you as a fellow writer and shipper after all it was your fiction and a few others that made me like appledash.
