    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

I Lied! Last Horse Poll I Swear · 12:28am Nov 27th, 2015

Since the votes between Paramount and Exclusive were so close, and because a third write-in contender was an excellent suggestion that was never fairly voted on, I've decided to do one last poll. I swear this is the end.

This will confirm Paramount, or if there is a substantial consensus on one of the other two choices, to switch. :raritycry:

I Pinkie Pie swear: no more hawt f**goty dresshorse polls!

This one, however, is going to be post-here-only. Write your choice for Rarity's new rule 63 name in bold, then provide your reasoning afterwards. For example:

Paramount
Because it won fair and square, and I like how it sounds. Plus, "mount" is horsey.

The three choices you can defend are:

:raritywink: Curio (the write-in)
:raritywink: Exclusive
:raritywink: Paramount

This time I won't be voting. Again, if there isn't a substantial sea change, Paramount will remain the winner. Think carefully, and thanks for the participation! :moustache:

I definitely like Curio. It has the same flow as Rarity, but it also sounds more... masculine, whereas Paramount has a neutral tint.

Exclusive
Because it keeps the "limited resource" fell of 'Rarity'.

I still love Eminence, but...

Exclusive.

I thought R63 Rarity was Elusive. Not Exclusive or whatever any of those choices are.

Read back a few blog entries for context, please. I don't like most of Trotsworth's rule 63 names, which is why I only used three in Back to Normal. In the rewrite I want to get rid of those three as well. This is why I've been polling for the past four entries.

I rather like Curio, in part because it seems the most 'name-like' of the names, and does sort of have a masculine feel to it, for Shakespearean values of 'masculine'. :rainbowlaugh:

Much as I like Paramount, I'm voting for Curio because that's such a breakaway from the standard R63 scheme for Rarity. It's so clever!

Internet rule 99: when you think it's the last poll, there's another one looming out.

I'll Vote Curio has a nice ring to it. Though I prefer Elusive.And I think a change in name would be cool.

I nominate 'White Fashion Butt' as my choice

Just ran across this, maybe I missed it but hasnt the fandom decided on the names of the R63 ponies? I mean this will be like human fics that give the mane six human names you'll spend most of the fix trying to go, "Okay which one is this again?"

See 3570932 for why I'm not using Trotsworth's names.
