    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

To my Russian followers: · 6:53pm Apr 17th, 2016

Just thought I'd drop everyone a line to say that the newest volume of "Equestrian Stories" is out, and this volume contains a translation of my "A Princess by Any Other Name"! Thanks to the remarkable Litho and Leliil and all their team for making this possible! Here is the promo video:

And, for those of you who don't speak Russian, here is the lovely cover art for my story in particular, by the talented SavannaFree!

If I recall this isn't the first time the Russians have graced you with wonderful fanart.

Indeed it is not! I am pleased to be featured in multiple volumes of the "Equestrian Stories" anthology. :pinkiehappy:

I know at least one of my stories has been translated to Russian; unfortunately, I don't speak the language. Out of curiousity, how did you find out you were included in this project?

Sweet! There isn't nearly enough Dotted Line fanart.

They asked for permission before including stories.

Those look really neat, though I can't read Russian.
