    Bookish Delight (FINAL)

    (sort of)

    Hey, folks. This thing on?

    So I was originally trying to write this big essay blogpost about where I've been and the future of Bookish and all that, but... it didn't pan out. So we'll do the much, much shorter version that should still tell you what's important.

    WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

    Did you think it was over

    ...yeah, that's fair, so did I. Still need to talk about that when I'm able. Until then...

    ELa Famille Royale
    The Zephyr Heights royals just helped change the world. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time they've done so, and they'll have to answer for that... just as soon as they work on themselves.

    Question For the Crowd!

    What, in your opinion, are Equestria's most significant locations? (i.e. Canterlot, Cloudsdale, etc.)

    Please keep it to... oh, top 7, and excluding Ponyville/the Everfree Forest.

    Thanks to all who answer! :heart:

Can Anyone Stop This Writing Machine? · 6:22pm Jul 8th, 2017

Hey there, cats and cattettes! :raritystarry:

Just a little heads-up to let you all know: we're hard at work editing the Bookish Delight Season 7 finale! Head inside for more info!

This is literally me right now. Yes, literally. I've actually been Rarity this entire time.

As you may or may not know (probably not because I rarely mention it), a Bookish Finale is where we pull out all the stops to do a character or an innovative fandom concept justice--usually both at the same time!--based on something that's aired in the current season (or movies) of MLP over the course of the year.

For future reference, here's a listing of the finales we've had so far:

Season 1 (2010-2011):

TBlunder and Lightning
When Rainbow Dash goes through a grouchy phase, Pinkie sends for Gilda. Will Ponyville survive?
Bookish Delight · 16k words  ·  135  7 · 4.5k views

Season 2 (2011-2012):

TUnison: Spectacles and Shades
Twilight Sparkle and Vinyl Scratch have a meeting of the minds... and learn more than they expected.
Bookish Delight · 26k words  ·  607  10 · 7k views

(I know, don't ask :P)

Season 3 (2012-2013):

EOtherworldly Advice
Two worlds. Two friendships. However, sometimes it takes another Rainbow Dash to say what one can't.
Bookish Delight · 6.4k words  ·  923  49 · 12k views
ERainbow Reflections
Can Twilight Sparkle realize the true nature of her friendship with Rainbow Dash? The answer lies beyond a magic mirror...
Bookish Delight · 21k words  ·  541  34 · 7.1k views

(RR is the updated remake.)

Season 4 (2013-2014):

ELulamoon's Castle
The Great And Powerful Trixie has returned to Ponyville at last, and Twilight Sparkle doesn't stand a cha--hold on. What's this giant shiny house doing sitting in the middle of everything?
Bookish Delight · 16k words  ·  1,560  27 · 16k views

Season 5 (2014-2015):

TOne Mare's Worth
It's taken a lot of time and effort, but Moondancer is finally ready to come out of her shell! Now if only she could find the confidence to ask Twilight Sparkle to come out with her...
Bookish Delight · 12k words  ·  462  14 · 6.4k views

Season 6 (2015-2016):

[Adult story embed hidden]

Season 7's finale is just around the corner (this week hopefully, next week latest). Bookish faithful may notice that things are wrapping up a little early this year--usually I end/begin seasons around the fall/winter. This is because this story marks the beginning of a lot of new things going forward, including an all-new way to how I approach writing. Hopefully it shows. Either way, I figured this would make a fitting boundary.

At any rate, it's about to get wild really soon, one more time! See you then!


...incidentally, now that they're all out, I hope you can all be good little ponies and watch the Equestria Girls Magic Specials! EQD will hook you up.

This is all completely unrelated to the above, of course.

I swear.

I just happen to love them to bits.

You could have linked Courage and Change if you had tagged it in the description. :3

But yeah I’m looking forward to this story.:twilightsmile:

Looks like you've got quite the exciting story idea planned. I'll definitely check it out once it's ready. :twilightsmile:

I really hope this is one i can see myself rereading over and over again.
Blunder and Lightning, as I've said before, has a really good first half, but a second half that gets dragged down because of the maid outfit stuff. (If you do a remake, i hope you at least consider the other stuff I've said)
Unison, i haven't read because i don't like reading/tracking fics that i don't think will be completed.
Otherworldly Advice/Rainbow Reflections, I'm not sure if i ever will read it, mostly because of the Romance tag on both versions.
Lulamoon's Castle, i still need to get around to reading, though it would be weird considering the episodes that came out after it.
One Mare's Worth was good, but not heavily re readable.
Not sure if I've read the last one.

As for the EQG specials, Dance Magic is my least favorite EQG thing ever ( though the song is amazing), Movie Magic is between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games , and Dance Magic is my favorite EQG thing ever.

If you embed the stories instead of linking them, whether it's mature is less of a factor. If someone embeds a mature rated story and you don't have mature on, instead of the embed, you see a note in its place indicating that a mature rated story wasn't shown.

...wait are you saying--

ELulamoon's Castle
The Great And Powerful Trixie has returned to Ponyville at last, and Twilight Sparkle doesn't stand a cha--hold on. What's this giant shiny house doing sitting in the middle of everything?

....I was seriously wondering just why "Fimfiction" was supported as an embed. I thought it was a typo. This is amazing for reccing stories or announcing new releases. Thanks.

Cant wait to read it

No problem.

The ability to embed fanfics is great for recommending stories and promotion. There were some pretty nice features in the recent update, and this was one of them. the fact that it's safe for mature stories just makes it even better...

OK, so I'm juuuuuuuuuust about finished with the review for "True Beauty", and I hope to have it done by the end of the weekend. "Community" is on my To Do list, as is your last journal because there are a lot of Thoughts and Feelings there and I wanna offer up my own thoughts. And who knows? If I'm really lucky and really push it, I may just have all that taken care of before this newest Finale rolls around!
Still, even if I don't, I just wanna say, it's always so great to see you on these hot streaks. Yours is an especially inspiring breed of creativity, and even as keeping pace with it can be tricky at times, it's always so very worth it. Here's to Finale #7, and to ALL Future Bookish.

If it helps, I'll be taking a bit of a break after this latest story's out. Brain's gotta recharge, and I really have been on a tear lately! Take your time, and I really appreciate all your reviews.

As for the EQG specials, Dance Magic is my least favorite EQG thing ever ( though the song is amazing), Movie Magic is between Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games , and Dance Magic is my favorite EQG thing ever.

Wait... So is Dance Magic now your most or least favorite EQG thing ever? :rainbowhuh:
