    Hard Reset: The Movie: The Netflix Miniseries: The Review

    I'm not actually going to subject you to the same shtick as when I reviewed Edge of Tomorrow. That's funny once and only once. But! This past weekend I watched Russian Doll on Netflix, Which is very much a merger between Groundhog Day and, uh, probably Final Destination, but I'll get to that.

    How To: Slice of Life

    I wrote this back in 2013 for the site, but it never ended up getting posted anywhere. I fought it again today when I was sifting through my Google Docs folder and I figured that since I haven't had much of a presence on the site for the last couple of months I might as well toss it up in the hopes that somepony somewhere finds it helpful.

The Most Important Thing to Remember is That This is Your Fault · 3:14am Dec 12th, 2013

This is not a sequel announcement.

I am not writing a sequel to First Contact is Magic, at least not as of now. I know a lot of you wanted one.

I did, however, write something related. The original story was rated Everyone, this is more in the 'Teen' realm, and quite the departure from the original. So I'm sticking it in my random fic anthology instead of making it a chapter.

Timeline-wise, it takes place about ten hours and change after the first phone call to Equestria...

Ten hours after the first call and rated teen? That teen rating throws me off

The old "camera cuts away right before the good stuff starts" trick has served me well again.

I really need to play Spec Ops: The Line sometime. It's on my Steam list (along with a thousand other games :twilightblush:)

1598199 I should note that your Rapid Fire stories story is still rated "Everyone" ;)

10 hours and change? Wasn't 11 hours when uh... oh. Oh dear. :twilightoops:

Wait, no one forced you to write this? :rainbowhuh:

I figured this was the commissioned story...

Yay, other things to look forward to!

Surprise twist ending: By the time the science fiction story was identified, the commission was already complete. :trollestia:

I've actually come up with the vague, cloudy outlines of three or four vignettes in this universe. But I pick my battles. Not gonna write them. Real not gonna. I super duper double-dog promise.

(Pssst. Totally open to changing my mind and writing more. Hell, I could write three or four more vignettes right now. A cloudy outline is all I need most of the time. But I really would rather develop original ideas.)

I really like FCiM and i think it would be a waste to not expand on that idea .
I can think of several stories that could take place at any point in it .
First the most obvious one, just write the Pony PoV .
Or write something about the Ponies that were sent to earth, be it some kind of attack on their ship that caused them to wake up and kick their asses .
Stuff like that would be cool
