A Couple Holmes and Watson Ponies · 10:51pm Jan 2nd, 2017
So, last year:
I wrote a story about a couple ponies called Currycombs and Silver Scalpel--Holmes and Watson ponies, basically. I sold the story to Zoetic Press for issue #9 of their NonBinary Review series and thought, "Hey! I'll write a Currycombs and Scalpel story for each of their themes, send 'em in, and bam! There we'll be!"
So I sent them a story for issue #10's Alice in Wonderland theme. They said, "No, thank you." Then I sent them a story for issue #11's Anne of Green Gables theme. They again said, "No, thank you." By that time, the contract for the first story had run its course, so I figured I'd start posting 'em here on FimFiction. I commissioned some cover artwork back in October, and it finally came in today. So The Casebook of Currycombs gets its first chapter, "A Study in Sorrel," published for free reading over on my AugieDog account. I'll tidy up the next two already written chapters, put together a few more, and we'll see what we shall see.

I guess ponies get old quickly. :B
Well even if they didn't accept it I think it's a fun theme for a story. Do you think you'll keep adding more?

That seems:
Pretty much to be the case. The editor said that "Study in Sorrel" was the oddest story she'd ever bought. But that's kind of a trick you can only do once...

Right now, I've got the next two, "The Case of the Stolen Tarts" and "The Case of the Unrestrained Orphan," pretty much finished. So they'll be along shortly. The deadline for submitting the next one to issue #12, the Edgar Allan Poe issue, of NonBinary Review, is Feb.1st, so I'd like to have the fourth one done by then so I can submit it, have it rejected, and then post it here.
That's the plan at least!
