Accolades · 6:20pm Nov 7th, 2014

I've had my written works complimented in many ways. Most of them are on Equestria Daily. Two of them were featured by the Royal Guard. One was featured by the Royal Canterlot Library, received a 9.5/10 by the Equestrian Critics Society, and was the subject of two dramatic readings. All of them have received more views, faves, group-adds, and comments than frankly I had any right to hope for.

All of that pales in comparison to the greatest compliment I could have ever hoped to achieve.

I had been thinking lately about needing to get back into things, to pick up the ol' pen and paper and continue bringing ideas to life by way of ponyfic. Now, I don't think I need to.

My work here is done.

Rest easy, brave warrior.

Truly, the highest of honors.

Better than "Looks Meh"

This user's been turning some heads lately, it seems. Who will feel the warmth and praise of the Fine Looking Bookshelf next?

(What confuses me is why they have different folders for Applejack and background ponies. :trollestia: )

Easy. Because Applejack always looks fine.

Now I'm tempted to rename my bookshelves "Bribed Me For A Good Review", "Called In A Personal Favor", "Faved In Hopes Senpai Will Notice Me", and "Chosen At Random Out Of A Hat".

Faved In Hopes Senpai Will Notice Me

Best bookshelf name ever.

2579919 Don't forget "Sure, Whatever" and "Could Be Worse".

I'm pretty sure this Storybook guy is literally a robot determined to catalogue every fic on the site, either to gather data for some giant social experiment, or to make sure Hasbro can sue absolutely every single one of us at the same time.

It's been six days since I saw it. It was just some silly comment on the internet, leading to a lighthearted joke at my own expense. Nobody else paid it any mind; it was all in good fun, after all. Except, I could read the voice behind the gab, and that's when I realized the tiny joke was anything but. It was a warning that the world around me was not as it seemed, that everything I've come to hold dear was nothing more than a façade for the world to leech off my emotions, to feed themselves on the love I had, on the trust I built. But now that trust had been shattered by this epiphany. My friends, family, acquaintances... I was more alone than ever, quite literally the only honest man left on this world of entangled masks and lies. And so, I fled, and I hid.

And it was one of their own that brought this revelation to light. He was one of them—just another mask—and yet, he betrayed them. Was it out of spite for his own kin? A sense of morality all the rest lacked? I almost wanted to bring him down into my sanctuary with me, but I suspected he'd say no, no matter how I put it. Whatever his motives may have been, I doubted they really concerned him. I should at least be thankful for that, for somebody who truly cared to look after me, who I could find faith in after all my other outlets had been besmirched.

It had been six long days since I read that comment and as I pushed aside the overhanging sheets of my bedspread, the world was silent. My hands were stained orange from the Doritios I ate to keep myself alive, and I as I crawled out from under my bed, all was quiet. I wanted to seek him out, but a glance outside my window showed there would be no point. I was now well and truly alone. These creatures, these things, had built their world around me, around feeding off my open arms. But now that their only source of nourishment had been taken away, their bodies littered the streets. I wondered what they thought of in their last moments, panicked and starved. I wondered if it was right for me to flee, to let them die. The world had been peaceful before, hadn't it? It'd been comfortable, no matter how facetious it had was. It had others I could call friends, even if they never were. Was it smart of me to damn them all?

I don't even know. I sulked away from my windowsill and over to my shelves, where my little pony plushies sat smiling, soft and huggable. At least I still had them.

I don't even know myself. I'm simultaneously sorry and not sorry.

You probably have the image cached in your browser. The link you just gave goes to a 404 page, and https://derpiboo.ru/760223 (the non-direct-link page for it) says the image was removed. :applecry:

You should be ambiguously sorry! I think I hit my head on something while I was rolling on the floor laughing. :heart:
