New Story Involving The Long Story Short Crew Up! · 3:08pm Apr 16th, 2015
The bad thing about having a set of characters you really like is that you tend to use them a lot. Like, a lot. That is the case with the characters from Long Story Short, Things Went Down, for example.
So sometimes I'll come up with a plot that I'll really like, and then I'll think "man, those characters would be awesome in here." But I can't always use those plots, because maybe they'll call for a higher does of fantasy than I would want in the "main" stories concerning that group, or maybe the plot would mess up their entire character arcs.
But still, it's a waste to forget those ideas. So what do I do?
Well, all stories are fiction, I thought. Who cares about what is "official" and what is not, or what is "canon" and what is not. This is just a fanfic. And I'm the author. So, screw it.
Fridge Horror (that's the title) is a little pet project of mine, a homage to Terry Pratchett that I wrote during my exams. And this blog has mostly the purpose of telling the people who liked Long Story Short, Things Went Down that, hey, that story exists. And it has those same characters.
Of course, it's not canon per se, so if you see an actual, "official" sequel coming up any day, the events in there won't be referenced. But that story explains what would happen if Vinyl and Derpy ended up in that situation. A What-If story, if you like.
Nothing more to add. In a couple days I'll make an actual, in-depth meta blog on that story. For now, I just wanted y'all to know that, just in case. I didn't tag it as a sequel, after all.
Cheers!
Oh, that's what that story is. It was already on my Read Later list, but if Derpy's as awesome there as she is in Fridge Horror then I'm all over that shiz.

I'm afraid to say Derpy in LSSTWD is less, uh, trigger-happy in Fridge Horror, sorry. Hence Vinyl's surprise.
On the other hand, Lyra and Bon Bon. The other characters are cool, but Lyra and Bon Bon were so cool to write that I wrote a spin-off with them, much in the Fridge Horror sense, long ago.
I am really in love with this gang, that's what I'm saying.
I look forward to reading it.
Just looking at it I can tell I'll be feeling like Twilight in 2991554 Neko's avatar by the end of it.
I can't wait!
