    Realize I haven't breathed a word about this, and that I'm generally silent on the blog side of Fimfiction as it is, but I'm attending Everfree Northwest this year!

    Glimpses 2 - Now Complete

    Though it was a day late, hopefully, it's not a dollar short. I've posted the final chapter of Glimpses 2! I hope everyone enjoys the last chapter and enjoyed the story as I whole. I would also like to thank everyone that submitted suggestions to my blog about a month ago. The anthology would not have been nearly as interesting without your input!

    Last Chapter of "Glimpses 2" slightly delayed

    Just what it says on the tin. Need 1 more day for the "Core" chapter of Glimpses 2. Should be up tomorrow. After that, the story will be complete!

Going Mad-Lib - Random Writing Event · 7:28pm Mar 1st, 2016

My writing productivity has been on the low end for January and February. Don't know why, but don't have any rsolid ideas and the couple stories I'm working on feel meh. So its time to break the stride and do something like the live-stream event I did once upon a time.

This random event (cue Pokemon battle music) is a Mad-Lib. Fimfiction users, since this going to use the comment system, will be able to submit different words or phrases to fill in blanks I provide. I will then select one submission and get to work writing a story that is at least 1,000 words based off the provided information, to be posted up on Fimfiction within at least two weeks time. This is my oath to do as much, come hell, high water, or things getting crazy at work.

Now, here are some of the restrictions/rules for this little event that you should keep in mind.
1) The resulting story will likely be rated teen or everyone (on a movie scale, no higher than PG-13)
2) You may submit more than once, but no more than 5 per user.
3) The Mad-Lib blanks will be numbered. Please be sure to number your responses so I know which words go where.
4) The lucky person who gets selected will be named when the story is posted.
5) OC's or characters from other franchises are allowed, but I need to be able to recognize the name. If it is an OC, the owner needs allow other people to use said OC.
6) Have fun and be courteous to other people who submit.
7) I reserve the right to add additional rules if the need arises.

With all that said, here are Mad-Lib blanks:
1) Primary Character (example: Twilight Sparkle)
2) Secondary Character (example: Sunset Shimmer)
3) Object (example: ball)
4) Verb (example: throw)
5) Adjective (example: ugly)
6) Place (example: Canterlot)
7) Number (example: 42)
8) Mcguffin (example: a Letter)
9) Room (example: kitchen)
10) 3-5 Word Alliteration (example: a wisely worded wombat)

UPDATE: The event is closed. Let's see what happens in a week or so, and I thank all those who participated.

UPDATE: The resulting Mad-Libs have been posted.
