How to write Applejack. · 2:34am Jan 20th, 2018
"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry, "You are the best at writing things! Tell us how to write things!"
And, benevolent gentleman I am, I oblige. More specifically, I turn to one of my favorite characters to write (even if she doesn't feature in every one of my stories, 'cause nobody's perfect). And so, friends, I humbly present "How to write Applejack, in like three easy steps."
Step One: Drink a drink. Cider is good. Whiskey is better.
Step Two: Watch this:
Step Three: Have her bicker with Rarity and then make out with her 'cause that shit is both canon and hilarious.
AAAANYWAY.
It's Friday night, and I'm wine drunk. Hoo-boy. This said, I'm still feeling a bit excited-- I'm steadily plugging away at Murder Most Equestrian, (how come you haven't read that yet?). Aaaand, while that's my current priority, I also kind of randomly (read: drunkenly) yelled at an author on twitter and now I kind of have her official-ish blessing to write fanfic in her sandbox. Which means I kind of have an OBLIGATION to write fanfic in her sandbox.
So ... I guess it's a good thing to know what I'm gonna work on next. Imma have to watch a bunch of kung fu movies for research. There are worse fates.
Who'd you yell at on twitter?
So... my typical Friday.
... that woman may be my cousin, given the last name.
Read all of her dialogue out loud and make sure it scans. Don't just mangle regular dialogue
Just to be clear, where do I work the guy in the corn suit and the fiddling Muppet into the story?
It's amazing people have to be told this. You'd think it would just come naturally. :B

Fonda Lee. I just read her novel Jade City, which is basically "The Godfather with magic kung fu." Well worth checking out.

That's how you write Big Mac and Braeburn, obviously.
I assume that getting wine drunk is good preparation for writing Rarity.
