    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

Quotable Trick Contest № 49! · 8:00pm Nov 6th, 2022

Congratulations to mishun for winning last week's contest! :yay:

Quiz: Name every story whose major theme intentionally includes some justification for (CW) suicide (if an anthology contains one or more stories that qualify, you only need to name the anthology).

Scoring: +1 each correct, ±0 each borderline, –1 each incorrect.
Max Score: +7
Min Score: –49

Mishun scored +3 with the guesses: Ashes, Mission of Mercy, and Tiara's Testament. But they would have won with a score of –49, because they were the only entrant! :facehoof:

You should be able to determine the number of correct and borderline stories based on the scores above, but no other information will be provided (unless somepony spends a Trick Point or something).


THE LEADERBOARD (Unspent/Total Trick Points)

mishun: 17/17 TP :rainbowdetermined2: *
Fylifa: 10/10 TP
Light Striker: 8/8 TP
BezierBallad: 6/6 TP
FanOfMostEverything: 5/5 TP
Fillyfoolish: 2/2 TP
hawthornbunny: 1/1 TP

(* = Winner of last round! But they can't participate this time.)

You can spend Trick Points in the Trick-Store to get all sorts of cool stuff! :pinkiegasp:


Click here to see the full list of rules.

General Rules

  • The comment closest to the correct answer wins the Trick Point!
  • Ties go to the earliest post.
  • Whenever you win a contest you have to sit out the next contest.
  • You only get one guess! Editing your comment after posting it disqualifies you.

(* = If you made a mistake with your post, such as naming the story but forgetting to name the chapter, you may post a second comment with any corrections provided you do it within five minutes of the initial post.)

Contest Type 1: Find the Quote! (most common)

  • I will post a line or two from one of my published story chapters.
  • When not hoof-picked, chapter selection is random from a flat distribution.
  • The same chapter could be selected twice in a row.
  • You may only look at the stories via Fimfiction, or in my book.
  • You are not permitted to search multiple pages at once.
  • Using "find in page" in your browser is okay! (In some cases it might not work.)
  • Searching through a copy of my stories, browser history, or Googling is not permitted.

This week's quote:

Sweetie shrugged. "Well, I didn't know for like, a week after we met."

Good luck, everypony! :scootangel:

Colts Will Be Colts, the Colts Will Be Colts chapter

I admit that the first one I went for was Irreversible mainly out of a tiny hope you might think of that story sometime :twilightsheepish:

Also: :yay:
