    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

"Lapidify", by Impossible Numbers.

I don't read much horror on this site. Part of it is that I am squeamish, part of it is that ponies are my happy place and I don't like to delve too dark with them, and part of it is that horror can often be, well, lazy. Turning Rainbow Dash into a chainsaw-wielding maniac is easy, cheap cognitive dissonance drama. It takes a special story to do horror well while simultaneously never stepping far out of the canon-established facts of the universe. Check out Lapidify for some claustrophobic pony horror done the right way. It deserves far more attention than it's gotten thus far.

That is all for today.

Ooo been wanting to read something horrifying and well written. Thanks!
