If you like pony transformations, you really need to see this. · 2:01am Aug 22nd, 2015
Hey guys!
Been awhile since I made a blog post, I know. Been busy with the usual med school stuff and the like (Hey, only ~6 months until I get my MD!) Between school and some other non pony things, I find myself always with too much on my plate to get any new big stories done, but I have been making some progress on some new pony projects. But regardless, though that's not the point of this blog post! There's a new mare in town, and... okay, she's not new. If you are even remotely into pony transformations (TF) you know her work. Here, before I say anything more, have a small showcase of her arts: (click 'em for full res)
Mmmm, oh yeah, that's the good stuff...
Sorry, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the artist! 
Well, this will just blow your hooves off, but not only is Penny one crazy talented TF artist, but can also can write! Super detailed amazing totally awesome TF stories! Like, I'm not even exaggerating here, it's some of the best human->pony writing I've ever seen! No, really!
Okay, look, you guys remember clopping to reading Royal Duties? You think that was a good opening chapter with the surprise meeting and subsequent transformation into a mare? Well Penny's new short TF story is another take on that trope, but it makes the Royal Duties intro look like it was written by monkeys on typewriters. Blind monkeys. Blind monkeys that don't know how to describe how a hand can shatter and twist into an adorable little minty green hoof...
Look just stop what you're doing, click the link below, and take a peek. Hell, if nothing else, go there and admire that absolutely gorgeous story cover art. I wonder who made the cover art for her story... oh, right...
Presenting Penny's FimFic debut:
Stalk her around the web! Keep an eye open for Penny aka TF-sential aka Acesential

Nice, and i wish you luck with the remainder of med school. (I'm starting anatomy and physiology for nursing school.) Also what field are you planning on?

Psychiatry!
(Gonna sort out all the crazy people who don't think they would be better off as a mare)
So... Why did you make all of the links a lie? That's just... That's just being a jerk-face! >:[
3337800 I will have to say you are a special kind of person to go into that field. I deal with it a bit in EMS, but i couldn't do it for a career. So for that you have my upmost respect.
Congrats! It's great to hear from you again, and I wish you well!
Thanks for the heads up on the new author, I'm always ready for new tf writers to follow.
Slightly off the subject, is there any news on the Five Score printing? Did I miss it, or is that still going to happen sometime?

If I went for an MD instead of whatever else, that would be my field as well. People are just... amazing.
Both of these links (on your blog, not this reply) actually go to the story on fimfiction, FYI...

It's still a work in progress, and I'm really kicking myself for putting it off THIS LONG. Argh, it's nuts how many times I've delayed it, and I feel bad that I've made all your guys wait way, way too long. 
). So I do fully plan to churn out the hardcover book then, as I'll literally have week after week of freetime and I'll have no excuses not to finally get around to doing it.
Good news is I actually do have the entire month of November off from school, and it will be the first "vacation" I've had in years (we don't get summers off in med school
3338196 Thank you for the update, and sorry for pestering you about it. I'm a huge fan, and it's one of my favorite stories so I've been really excited for it, and worried I was going to miss it
this is defiantly going to be a artist author to keep a eye on.
thanks for the heads up TS.

I've been following Penny for quite a while, but you're right; she needs some more attention! Good call on this post, Spectra!

*Looks at one of the samples of Penny's art...* wait a minute, isn't that the image you transposed on the TF/TG group's banner? *Checks the group's banner* It is! How did I not noticed this last night when I read this post the first time? I mean, I noticed it looked familiar, but I couldn't figure out why!
3337811 I'm not quite sure it's intentional, as he may have just copied the link markup and neglected to change the URL... either way, it's not like the correct URL isn't there in the link's display text.
*Follows Penny's butt... or at least favorites it*
Good fic.
