    Update (Without excuses this time!)

    Guess what? I'm done writing the next chapter of Manifesto.

    I just need to give my prereaders a day or two to look over it, and then it'll go up.

    Until then, here's Despacito being played on a guzheng.

    Hey, everyone.

    I've somehow gotten out of the habit of posting updates. Oops.

    Anyway, you've no doubt noticed that I don't post as often as I once did in the past. This is largely because improvements in my life situation mean I have the wherewithal to engage in hobbies other than writing fanfiction.

    Update.

    Goodness, it's been a while, hasn't it? You're probably wondering why my pace has slowed down on Manifesto. Well, there are several reasons, but the most relevant one is that I find myself rewriting large swaths of this chapter as I zero in on the best plan for Sunset to take. I'm basically going back and forth between two ideas that can't really be combined into a single one, and for

    New Story Incoming

    In case you missed my last blog post, I'm taking a break from the adventures of Celestia and Daring Do to write the next Petriculture story. At this point it looks like it'll be fairly short -- about two chapters long -- and I recently finished up the first chapter, which will be posted once my prereaders give it a final once-over.

This week's minor detail · 2:11am Dec 30th, 2012

For some reason, when I watch new episodes, it's always some minor detail or throwaway joke that strikes me as having the most potential for story ideas.

This week, it's the fact that Rainbow Dash writes Rainbow Dash fanfiction. (Or if she doesn't, she has the idea to write it.) And, from the same scene, the fact that AJ is apparently working on a novel.

I smell metafiction!

661319 HOW DO YOU ALWAYS GET FIRST POST!?

I just love the fact her story is a BLATANTLY obvious self insert dream fulfillment.

yea that unfinished novel jab also reminded me of Family Guy

:rainbowlaugh:

661326 because you always beat me by like 30 seconds. The more amazing part is that you somehow seem to have finished reading the post in questions most of the time... do you have some super secret access or something?

Just saying, Rainbow Dash and the trials of Temptation xD (TAW fic)

The small thing that I liked from this episode is that apparently Spike can use his flame for extra dimensional storage, not just sending and receiving letters from Celestia.

661359 Clearly this means TwiDash is canon!

661374 Good point, that was an interesting touch.

661379 From the wonderbolts episode Pinkie Dash seems more likely. Though I'd prefer TwiPie and FlutterDash :3 Also RariJack is sooooo OTP only reason Applejack made Spike make a pie so she could go see Rarity, also explains why Rarity would actually risk taking a bite from it xD

Dash's novel is about, well she said it's a Wonderbolt self-insert. AJ's "novel" is actually a musical about an apple farmer and his five daughters in the small village of Appletevka.

I don't really like Rainbow Dash's depiction of Rainbow Dash. It's rather OOC. I think Rainbow Dash needs to get a better understanding of Rainbow Dash's character before writing about herself.

Also Rainbow Dash is terrible at clop. She shouldn't write sex scenes before learning more about her own anatomy. The scene where she lost her virginity was quite unrealistic and I think she should lose her virginity before writing about her losing her virginity so she actually has experience to draw on.

What fic were you reading? The one I got had treasure-hunting Nasties, Cloudsdale museums, tanks, and Rainbow Dash hunting for the Holy Drinking Trough. Also, Con Mane is her father and speaks in a Scottish accent.

Rainbow Dash and Commander Hurricane save Hearth's Warming

This week, it's the fact that Rainbow Dash writes Rainbow Dash fanfiction.

That's the obvious one. I'm a bit more interested in the fact that Cherry Berry seems to be a earth pony running a balloon rental business.

Yeah, that's a great touch. Rainbow Dash has fallen deeper into the foul clutches of Literature!:pinkiecrazy:

I half-expect somepony nicknamed Rainbow Dash and being in-character all the way write such a story and get to the featured box.
:rainbowwild:

661659 Before long, Dashie will become one of Equestria's greatest writers. Together with Applejack and her fabled piece, The Catcher in the Apple Grove.

I think it was more kind of talking about what rainbow would have let him do for her and AJ isn't working on a novel.

I am inescapably reminded of the following passage from Blueshift's apparently-quite-prescient "The Star In Yellow":

"But check this out! 'Dainbow Rash used her laser eyes to blow up the evil griffon! Then the explosion exploded! Then Dainbow Rash did one hundred Sonic Rainbooms. "Thank you Dainbow Rash!" said Princess Celestia, "now I will make you the Princess for you are the best pony in all Equestria, and I will have the teacher who kicked you out of flight school publicly flogged!'" She paused expectantly, waiting for Twilight to burst into rapturous applause.

It never came. Twilight just shuffled awkwardly, not wanting to crush her friends' spirits. "Rainbow Dash, it's nice to see you exercise your creative muscles in such an...." she glanced at the enormous book "...enthusiastic way, but this is just a book about you, isn't it? That sort of thing is generally frowned upon in literary circles."

Rainbow Dash looked genuinely stunned. "What? No! Don't be silly Twilight, I don't have laser eyes! My name isn't Dainbow Rash!"

I smell it to. Oh wait that's me.

662639 The look on AJ's face says; "Novel in the works."
