    Nope; still don't fit right...

    Just got back from a week-long cruise in the western Caribbean. Sounds great right? :ajsmug:

    Too bad I'm built for cold weather and spent most of it drenched in sweat, :raritydespair:

    New... uh, what is this thing? Story? Collection? Thing. New Thing!

    So long story short I got tired of having lots of ideas that weren't really enough to be stories on their own. I've seen lots of folks post up 'scrap book' style collections of whatever dribbles out of their minds and onto the page, so I figured 'why not?'

    GENTLEMEN; BEHOLD!!

    That Followup Blog That I Said I Would Do But Never Did... Until Now

    Okay, so back when More than Meets the Ear wrapped up I said I would shortly be posting a followup blog, right?

    ... Yeah, we all know that didn't happen. Real life got in the way, yadda yadda; I'll spare you all the details. Nobody cares about my personal life (sometimes not even me, :twilightoops:).

    So!

    That was a hell of a thing, wasn't it?

Rule #1 of Cosplay: IMPROVISE! (Contest... sorta) · 1:38am Sep 24th, 2015

Well, following the whole 'Bronycon is on the same weekend as CTCon and we can't do both' fiasco, the wife and I instead decided that we'd go to New York Ponycon again in February. (We went last year, so this will be our second Ponycon).

Since it's our policy to never hit the same con with the same cosplay, we're whipping up a new set to replace Steampunk Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich. Under pain of sleeping on the couch, I'm not allowed to actually say who/what we're going as, but Mel was so excited about one aspect of my costume that she agreed that I could post a picture of one of the components and make it into a guessing game.

SO, if anyone can correctly guess who/what I'm going to be cosplaying as at Ponycon 2016 based only on the image below, I'll... uh, be your friend forever, or something.

:ajbemused: Ya can do better'n that. 'Sides, nobody wants to be yer friend anyway.

All right fine! Jeeze, get off my case, AJ. Okay, how about, the first person to get it right gets a sneak peek at the newest story I'm working on?

:ajsmug: That'll do.

I'm so glad I have your approval, -.-

Anyway, here's your hint!


No, I'm not telling you what they are, but knowing what they are won't actually give you a hint as to what my costume is going to be anyway, :trollestia:

Harsh AJ... I uh, think you will go as some kind of Apple Family member or something? :trollestia: Do I get a quarter point if I am in the right area or do you only reward full points if I guess correctly. Maybe I will get a shoutout. I want to say Scarecrow farmer, but I don't think so. Still... points for participating

Definite points for participating, but unfortunately I'm restrained from giving any additional hints unless the wife lets me. Unless someone hits the nail on the head, I won't be indicating if their answers are 'close' or not, :applejackunsure:

It must be nice to share a similar hobby like that. All the people I know don't even like ponies or indifferent to it. How the hell did you luck out like that

Believe me, I ask myself that question every single day. She was actually the one to make the first move on me back in college, and I honestly have no idea where I'd be in life right now if it weren't for her, :heart:

She was the one who took the first steps into the FiM fandom as well, and I followed along with her... now she gets all her pony news through me, :rainbowlaugh:
