The shipping continues! + A couple recommendations · 8:16am May 11th, 2013
To change things up a bit, we're going to do this in the reverse order of the title.
First, a couple of fic recommendations:
Constellations by psp7master - A nice little teenage TaviScratch piece, contemplating the vagaries of standardized classes while staring at the night sky and smooching.
Dance With Me by Royal Flush - Lyra returns from the Grand Galloping Gala (complete with the Mane 6 trashing the place) and teaches a slightly reluctant Bon Bon how to dance—the wine helps matters a bit.
Both stories have readings done by the very talented Scribbler.
Go check them out!
On the shipping front, work continues on the good ship Mane 6 (all 15 of them). Two stories down, thirteen to go. Here's the score so far along with a small description of each short:
---Basic Challenge---
AppleShy - Done - 1012 words (A quiet engagement)
ApplePie - Done - 1253 words (A wedding reception)
RariLight - Rebrainstorming (Probably an outfitting)
TwiPie - Brainstormed (Intense observations)
RariDash - Brainstormed (A rather different sort of outfitting)
---Extra Innings---
PinkieDash - Brainstormed (A huge party)
RariPie - Brainstormed (A revelation)
RariJack - Brainstormed (A different venue)
TwiShy - Brainstormed (Two sides of the same coin)
RariShy - Brainstormed (A little magic)
---Going for the Gold---
PinkieShy - TBD
FlutterDash - TBD
TwiJack - TBD
TwiDash - TBD
AppleDash - TBD
The fun part is that I'm not going to tell you exactly which prompts are which pairing (and trying to guess from the descriptions alone isn't going to help~). My original RariLight idea didn't pan out as well as I thought, so I'm cooking up a new one. But, to show you that I am committed to finishing all 15 pairings, here is the cover art that I worked on while rebrainstorming RariLight:
The story will be submitted once I finish the first five and the remaining ten will appear as I complete them.
Now to bed, to dream of pony romances.
