And now, a Media 'Blitz'. · 9:58pm May 1st, 2012
First off, wanna start this by saying, please stop asking me for permission to use the Male Six. They are the creations of one Trotsworth on Deviantart. And he himself, offered up and released said Male Six to the wilds of the internet. So you don't have any need to pester him for permission either. Instead, just visit his DA gallery and see all the amazing stuff he's done up!

Okay, now for other things. Lately, it's amazed me the kind of stuff that's popped up, as a result of my work. I wanna take a moment to showcase a few of these amazing pieces, if nopony minds.
Fanart of my fanfics. This in particular, floored me when I started seeing these pop up. The first example I want to give, comes from my first story, Crimps and Prance. Have a happy Cheerilee and Big Mac, dancing the night away!

Even The Mane Attraction got some fanart, with Carrot Top looking especially beautiful, in this lovely piece by Jdan. http://jdan-s.deviantart.com/art/quot-The-Mane-Attraction-quot-267616171
And of course, Cross and Arrow got a ton of attention. There's now a ton of self-shipping art, but in particular, illustrations of scenes from the fic itself, or pictures that just... jump out at me. I submit the following...
A beautiful Rarity and Elusive fantasy piece, of the two ponies dreaming of each other. http://foxofwar.deviantart.com/art/Theme-95-Fantasia-258573542
Jaqueline Amy Rose in particular, has done a lot of pieces of art. And sometimes, I can't help but write up short scenes to go with her pictures. See if you can find them in the comments! http://jaquelinamyrose.deviantart.com/art/How-about-this-263252613
And finally, Trotsworth himself has surprised me a fair number of times. The first time was when I finally finished Cross and Arrow, with this picture. http://trotsworth.deviantart.com/art/Time-to-say-Goodbye-258985568
The other two times, when he was commissioned to do scenes from the fic. *Not by me!* The first scene was from chapter six, when Applejack sees Blitz for the first time... http://trotsworth.deviantart.com/art/AppleSpy-274617380
And then second, near the end, when Fluttershy show Butterscotch some affection. http://trotsworth.deviantart.com/art/Flutterscotch-274617734
Speaking of FlutterButter. The last arena of this media tour is the vocal one. I want to once again express my surprise and gratification, my mouth was dropping wide open when I found THIS. Starring the voices of Bree Faith and Philisterman. Fluttershy, meeting Butterscotch.

Some months ago, I was asked to appear on the Brony Show as a guest. I managed to up the courage to follow through on it, although my mike was of considerable crappy quality at the time. Still, if any of you wish to hear me yakking with Dpad and Circuitmane, then I direct you to Episode 23 of the Brony Show, located here. http://blip.tv/circuit-mane/the-brony-show-23-20111017-190044_678-5701550
And finally, something that I'm a little bit late in getting into your hooves. For those of you waiting for the audio drama of Cross and Arrow, the wait is finally over. Starring the voices of Rina-Chan, VannaMelon, Bree Faith, Pierce Smoulder, Lauren Goodnight, GJKou, Mirisha, and Poni1Kenobi. I present to you, Part 1 of Chapter 1: On a Word Misheard.

I wanna thank all you guys for... well, everything. I can't believe that I've made such an impact on this community, and you all manage to continually floor me. Thank you all so much! And never stop being awesome!
Hey dude, do I have your permission to use the male main 6?
(Gets punched in face)
Very cool, dude. I was turned on to your fic by TV Tropes, and I'm eagerly following the sequel. I'm doing my own 'Male Six' story, but it's...pretty damn different from what currently exists...I hope. Either way, very awesome stuff.
94511 Arrow to the kn--Punched in the face.
Let's say we want to have a story based off of, or in some way involving, the two connected universes in C&A. Do we need special permission for that?
SO MANY LINKS
I MUST VIEW THEM ALL
94557 This is actually a fair question, given The Sweetie Chronicles.
94745 Well, Connor Cogwork was a prereader for that chapter, I do believe. Also there is Royal Pains, which hasn't updated in FOREVER.
Royal Pains? I don't think I've even heard of that one.
*cue Dr. Robotnik theme song*
AH, FLUTTERSHY! BUTTERSCOTCH! SMOOCHING AS USUAL, I SEE!
FIRST PAGE!
I liked it. Also, why aren't you partaking in the cross & arrow thing?
