Gah! This was supposed to go up last week, not this week! Completely my fault, I'm sorry!
Night of the Shaggy Dog is... ah, well... it's supposed to be a shaggy dog story masquerading as a horror story; but I'm not sure it pulls off any of that, much less all of it. I was slightly amused and horrified to look up 'shaggy dog story' and discover that other people had written shaggy dog stories... deliberately... and done well. I was under the impression it wasn't considered a goal in and of itself.
I might have another piece of writing on the to-do list, too. Inspired by Neighsayer & Feather's Flight I, the description I'm working from goes "Celestia still has guilt". Trouble is, the only story I know of to have come out of a song in that sense is PoweredByTea's Never So Far Away, and I really don't seem to have the option of using that process on this piece. I'll probably have a throw at it anyways.
