    The Painful Silence of Writing

    One problem that seems ineradicably fundamental to writing, or at least to the kind I'm attempting: frustratingly fiddly, and yet it has to be kept a secret.

    This is going to be a bit of an effusive confession, I'm afraid. Hopefully, I'll be in a better mood next time, but today...

    The Powerpuff Crusaders and the Love Day Episode

    It's not exactly a mind-blowing statement to claim that Friendship is Magic shares some Powerpuff Girls DNA (e.g. Blossom and Twilight are both powerful, socially responsible bookworm-type leaders). But "Hearts and Hooves Day" and "Keen on Keane" are, like, eerie déjà vu levels of similar.

    "Rainbow Trendin' Dash": The Global Situation on LGBTQ+ Rights

    Since I generally prefer a global account to a narrower focus on a topic, let's give it a go! Graphs and links ahoy! In broad strokes, then; where in the world would a pro-LGBTQ+ citizen least want to stand?

    "Calendar Chaos" is Now My Most Viewed Story!

    Pardon my narcissism, but... Currently sitting at 3,571 views, it's recently surpassed the old record-holder (Cutie Mark Espionage Agency at 3,565*), meaning 2018 stands above my 2011-2012 output.

    And can I just say, "Well, it's about time!"?

Achievement Unlocked: "Cute Mountain Climbers" · 8:44pm May 2nd

Well, it finally happened: I got all three The Sister Sidestep fics onto Equestria Daily. Huzzah! 🎉

Now to figure out what to send next. :applejackconfused:

Impossible Numbers, out!

Wohoo, congrats! 🌟

Thank you. :scootangel:

Darn, that would have worked better if there were positive-looking Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom emoticons. :applecry::unsuresweetie: Poor girls.

🌟 Speaking of emoticons, I just found that star one you used! Neat!

Also means you can put the looping sequel tags of the three stories back on too! :raritywink:

But yeah, your shortlist of eligible fics to submit for EqD featuring is down to a trickle now, isn't it? Single-digits, I think. Bit of a pickle for your goal of regular featuring there, innit? :fluttershyouch:

Having considered it, I think I'll keep the sequel tags off permanently. Apart from setting an unfair precedent against the proofreaders ("What do you mean I can't have my sequel posted separately!? Impossible Numbers did!"), it strikes me as feeling too "Trojan Horse" dishonest to go against their sequel policy after the triple acceptance. Besides, those fics got all the traffic they're gonna get.

Ten candidates left, to be precise. I got time yet, so who knows? Might get lucky before the list runs out.

Congratulations on the achievement! :yay:

Ta very much, mate! 🤠

Our policy on sequels is that they can be solo posted if they stand alone well enough that you wouldn't have to read the previous material to understand it. It's already a given that they stand alone well since they got approved, so we don't care if you set them as sequels.

Ah, I didn't know that. Bang goes my argument's starting premise, in that case.

Although I think I'll leave them anyway, if only because I don't feel there's much advantage to the sequel tags. Plus, I is a bit lazy. :ajsleepy:

(Also, thanks for the feedback on the latest email I got from EqD: least, I'm assuming that was you).

Any and all recognition of your work is well deserved.

:scootangel: Thank you! Wow, I'm getting more stars in this blog than I'd expected going in. :rainbowlaugh:

:twilightsmile: That's kind of you to say so. :twilightoops: Just wish I was making more of it, but so it goes...
