In Touch With The Ground

So on a whim, I wrote an Applefic. Just a slice of life day on the farm starring Applejack alone with the trees, her thoughts, and nature.

It was kinda fun to sit down and just hammer it out like I did, and to be honest? I rather enjoyed being able to meander and not really have a 'point' to the story. No conflict, only Zuul appulz. It felt good. Cathartic, even.

It was really an excuse to play around with some headcanon (that as of the finale, is looking to be pretty much canon): Earth Ponies are geothermal power batteries.

Wait, no, that wasn't it.

'Earth ponies strength and skill literally comes from the earth.' That's the one. And that's pretty much the entirety of what I had in my pre-writing. That and the title (which was the impetus for creating this).

Anyway, it's a bit of a departure from my usual fic idea, which is amusing, because it's not even a little bit of a departure from my usual writing (though said writing usually takes the form of slice of life RP.) Hopefully people enjoy it. Or, at the very least, enjoy the fact that after two goddamn years, Mally actually put up a fic instead of whining about writer's block.
