    Ciderfest's Scattered Pages Wrap-up!

    Aside from contests and invitations to do things, I believe all of us here in Fimfic should get to hear about awesome things created by our community of writers.

    It was not so long ago that Vivid Syntax reached out to me about a project he was working on. I admit, he wasn't the first to ask (that dubious honor goes to Nyronus) for me to work with them on it, but this time it was a request to reach out to all of you to see if you wanted to participate in something new and daring.

    Twilight's Book Nook at Everfree Northwest!

    D This Is Not A Contest Blog, What Is Happening!?

    In 2019 Aquaman organized a bookstore booth at Bronycon. It was such a huge success and gathered so much attention that several of us, including: Capn_Chryssalid, PaulAsaran, yours truly, Monochromatic, Corejo and many others spent a considerable amount of the convention coordinating with security, selling books, engaging people and generally having a great time.

    The best thing? The bookstore was incredibly successful. We had a line of people that we had to split into parts and arrange along the wall because of the interest people had in our stories.

    Everfree NW Scribblefest 2017!

    Everfree Northwest, Seattle's premier pony convention is known for having one of—if not the—strongest writing tracks in the MLP fandom. As part of that, we run an online writing contest (now called "Scribblefest") every year. Entry is open to everyone, whether or not you attend the convention.

    Like last year, we’re giving out six special awards, each of which comes with a $20 Amazon gift code!

    This year’s prompt is: Growing up wild and forever free

    Awards

    The Jaw-Dropper Award ("The Dash")

    We all know the type, the stories that make us go "Holy cow, THAT just happened!" This would go to the story with the best twist, surprise, or simple moment of hoof-pumping awesomeness!

    The D'aww Award ("The Fluttershy")

    A staple of ponyfic... the story with the sweetest, most touching moment that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    The Nasally Ejected Beverage Award ("The Pinkie")

    New MLP Convention News Service Launches

    New MLP Convention News Service Launches

    We're excited to announce that Everfree Northwest has become the official site blogger for MLP convention news here on FIMFiction. We will be providing regular site blogs aggregating convention news not just for our own convention, but for any and all MLP conventions that wish to participate. Our goal is to be a central hub for fanfiction and writing-related convention news for the FIMFiction community. By extension, we want to help bring a strong fanfiction presence to MLP conventions around the world, and encourage inter-convention cooperation and outreach.

    What this means for you, the reader and potential con-goer.

Conventions » Ponyville Ciderfest: Last Call for Writers, Editors, and Actors · 2:58am Jun 30th, 2023

Ponyville Ciderfest: Last Call for Writers, Editors, and Actors

The words are flowing at Ponyville Ciderfest! This year’s convention theme is all about writing, and we’re celebrating with a ton of amazing events, including an interactive storytelling experience!

We’ve already got over sixty active creators and one-hundred stories as part of this project. We’d love to include everyone, but since we need to start finalizing so we can move onto the next stage:

The last day to sign up is Sunday, July 9th.

How does it work? Our writers are helping in three main ways:

  1. Hidden throughout the convention, we’ll have secret code words that can be entered into the PCVF companion app. When an attendee enters a code word, they’ll be presented with a short story (written by the writing team!) and get to make a choice that impacts the events at the con.
  2. We write prompts for our cosplay actors, who the attendees will get to interact with. The actors may ask the attendees questions or give them tasks, and depending on how they do, they will receive different code words that they can enter into the app to register their choices.
  3. Providing ideas! We want this to feel like a con for writers, by writers, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. 

If you’ve been waiting to jump in (or you want one of your favorite authors to participate), now’s your last chance. If you’re interested, just do the following:

  1. Join the Ponyville Ciderfest Discord server: https://discord.gg/BGdwwfsB 
  2. Fill out an application here: https://forms.gle/ykvKVdgyrS8yXeqy6 

Questions? Contact Vivid at VividSyntax@gmail.com or on Discord at vivid.syntax.

See you at the con!

This looks intriguing, but I am a little confused. What is the Ponyville Cider fest? Also, can one participate even if theyʼre not attending the event?

Omg this sounds so cool! I'm sad that I'm unable to attend stuff irl.

Ask this guy, Vivid Syntax, he does a part in running this whole awesome business~

That's a really cool idea.

Ciderfest is an MLP convention that's hosted every year in Milwaukee. This year's theme is all about writing, and one of our ways to highlight authors is this big collaborative story. You can see the website here:

If you want to participate in the writing project, you don't have to attend the con. We want lots of authors to contribute if they're up for it. :)

Well, I applied. Never done anything like this before though. Maybe it'll look good on the ol' resume if I get picked.
