Contest results, and an apology · 6:15am Dec 23rd, 2014
This is embarrassingly and inexcusably late, and still half-assed and incomplete, but...
The It's My Birthday and I'll Ship Ponies If I Want To contest is over! Like, more than a month ago! Timing!
I am really sorry about this. You folks who put effort forward to make something nice deserve better than this.
The contest winner is HoofAndQuill, whose entry can be found in the TMP Legacy Prompt thread. HoofAndQuill, I owe you some art, but I hope you'll forgive me if it's a debt I defer for a little while.
The other entries were from ThunderTempest, also in the TMP thread, and CHeighlund. CHeighlund's entry is on a gDoc; ask them if you would like to read it.
Once again, my apologies for the severe tardiness of this post. I would like to say it's because I have been busy fighting off an invasion of super-intelligent polar bears, but the truth is that depression has been eating me alive lately. Which is way less cool than polar bears.
Anyway, I just wanted to get this out, however late, and shine a light on the people who wrote things for me. It was nice of them, and the way I've treated them is not a good way to encourage others to follow their example.
depression is a weird ugly thing I don't have and can't pretend to understand. That being said, can I do anything to brighten your day a bit?
'S not something you need to apologize for. Depression will do that to you, and it is not something you need to be sorry about. I can only hope that you feel better soon. If you feel the need to talk to someone who knows how it is to suffer from it, y'know. I'd be happy to try and deliver. But yeah, hope things will improve for you.
