December Plans · 3:58am Dec 4th, 2023
Re: November's Cyberpunk Contest-
Alright! So I made the deadline for the 2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest and my story, The Nightmare Parade was completed on Dec. 1st.
I feel like I chose the worst timing possible to post the first chapters though, given that FOME's "Contest! Imposing Sovereigns IV: The Aluminum Jubilee's" deadline was THAT WEEK, and it was coming off at the tail end of the Scattered Pages uploads.
In other words, when it came to my posting timing...
It is complete though, and I am very happy with how it turned out, even if it didn't get the attention I would have liked given the good amount of good-quality fics that came out at the same time. If you want a nice little horror cyberpunk story, you might want to give it a try. 
Again, big thanks to Pascoite & GaPJaxie for the tremendous help editing and bouncing ideas. I'd also like to shoutout to Flashgen for a good quick feedback session when I asked him to check on the horror aspects I was throwing in there. He couldn't help all the way with life interfering, but my conversations with him were a good reminder on the genre.
Having said that, I hope the payoff for the story has the 'oomph!' I hope it does, so make sure to let me know if it comes through!
Re: December-
Now, I have some updates for stories you all have been waiting for, of course, but this being December might delay things a little bit, since I am writing a nice little Jinglemas story. If you didn't manage to enroll but want to help with Jinglemas you can always throw Shakespearicles a message in case he needs Breezies.
As for the other stories, keep your eyes peeled. Some old classics are getting updates again among the newer ones. I might try and rebuild a cushion depending on how well I do on my Jinglemas story.
Anyway, stay chill everyone!

"Having said that, I hope the payoff for the story has the 'oomph!' I hope it does, so make sure to let me know if it comes through!"
I think it did! There was still one thing I'm not sure of the meaning of/explanation for, which I mentioned in a comment on the story, but other than that I think it tied things together well.
(Well, I suppose it's also uncertain whether what the-being-then-known-as-Sweetie-Belle saw near the Moonflow was actually Twilight, but that seems like one of those mysteries that works well left as a mystery.)
Good luck with things, and thanks for the good work you do!
