    Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

    You probably know how this sort of thing goes. There you are, mowing your grass on a day that can't decide whether to shine or drizzle on you, a few years and counting into your non-writing streak. Whatever thoughts you're having are at the expense of your lawnmower picking a fight with every passing tuffet and losing.

    Just as alicorns descend upon parched wastelands bearing storms and seeds, so too do kindly translators upon my horsewords. Dark Country's received a Russian translation by the kind efforts of

    A jolly update for folk who like either fanfic readings or The Motion of the Stars, and a downright rapturous one for folk who like both. My name is R has brought their vocal talent to bear on the story, complete with images and background music to help

    On Brains

    A nice breezy dialogue to ease in with:

    CARABAS’ COMMON SENSE: So, a hypothetical conservation for you.
    CARABAS: Two lines in and we’ve already got fictional discourse nested in the initial fictional discourse. Gosh, I must just love to live dangerously.

Off Iceland-wards · 1:16am Jan 15th, 2015

By way of preamble, have a vaguely relevant Scandinavia and the World.

The relevancy being that I'm off to Iceland myself for a few days. Please don't burn down FimFiction or any non-Icelandic historic landmarks while I'm gone, and don't let any decent drama happen while I'm unable to gawp from the sidelines. By way of fair exchange, I'll share any pretty pictures I might happen to take. Said prettiness may be impacted on by my absence of anything resembling photography skills. You get what you pay for.

I'll be taking along a new-fangled portable electronic writing device as well, and I'll have a plane journey and five days with nothing to distract me except everything in an exciting foreign country in which to employ it. With any luck, I'll have finished my entry for the Dangerous Game competition by the time I come back. That'll be something to look forward to ... maybe.

Oh boy.

'With any luck' being the important phrase. Recently, the writing process has largely gone as follows.

Me: Do things. Go on, leap into motion along the plot I've set out for you. Inspire things on the page, you little bastards.

Sweetie Belle/Rarity: Go fuck yourself. Also, describe more of that scenery over there.

My Scumbag Brain: Hey, imagine all the constructed historical stuff you could slip smoothly into this section!

Me: (Angrish, followed by procrastination.)

Wait, please tell me you didn't choose prompt 1. You did, didn't you?

I'm now wondering which background Pony shall play a game... :rainbowwild:

My own choice was more of an apocalyptic bent. It's got some gruesomeness, if that's any consolation.

Also, Iceland has wi-fi! Whee! There's no escaping me. :pinkiehappy:
