Golden Harvest takes Noi to the park to burn off some extra energy. After a dip in a puddle, and a rousing game of Settlers and Buffalo, Noi is a filly in serious need of a bath. Only problem is she hates bathing.
If you got here without reading the previous blog post or Unity 2 you're gonna be confused. Just scroll through for the pony pics, or maybe skim it in the hopes of finding a useful horse fact.
Woah, you really never had on on there? I mean, I know it's not necessarily like winning an award, but I thought that with as "famous" as you are, one of your stories would have ended up there at some point.
I've visited Equestria Daily a few times, and found most of what they had there was links back to fimfiction.org. Is there something there I've missed seeing, that makes them special in some way?
4644724 Back in the day, they were the hub for people wanting to find new pony stories to read. Also they had very high standards for listing a story (or at least very complicated ones, some of their decisions about what to accept and what to reject I find highly dubious, but that's another discussion entirely) so getting in was difficult and doing so was seen as a sign you'd really made it as an author. These days I don't think there are many people left using them as their primary way to find new quality stories, so it's no longer the way to get tons of extra views and attention, but it's still seen as an honor for them to accept your story.

Nope, nothing yet. I guess I'm just not a good enough author.
I totally should have submitted Everypony is Drunk and Speaking Russian for Some Reason. After all, that was one of your panelist's ideas, which ought to have automatically qualified it.

Back in the day (before FimFic was big) they were the sole repository of the good stories. And even now, they have pretty high standards. Basically, what 4644746 said.
Well, they HAVE relaxed their standards quite a bit.
4644243
I know. That helped.
Plus, I kinda twisted Pascoite's arm, and he took pity on me.
4644244
Ouch -- arm twisting kind of hurts.
4644246
That might have been what motivated him.
4644247
Well pain is a great motivator.
Woo-hoo!
Oh, well they're only four sodding years late to the party!
What an appropriate cover art for this event!
Probably took them so long because of the diabetic coma they've been in since you published. It's very cute and sweet.
About fucking time.
Grats, though.
Grats. And many more....
Congratulations.
Congrats, man!
Guy like you, I would've thought you'd be a usual on there.
Grats! They had to see the light eventually.
Woohoo!
Congratulations!

Congratulations! I'm surprised this is your first with all of the other great stories!
Congratulations, Admiral! It's about time !
First, seriously? o.o That does not make a sense.
Yay! Congrats, Biscuit-san!
Congrats!
Great job! I can only dream of being featured on there one day.
Neither did we at EQD.
In seriousness, yay Admiral!
Did they really waited that long?
Ah!
Are you a Noi'd?
Seriously, though, why did it take so... ah, that's right. They don't feature minifics.
also learn to linktag your story from a blog post

Neat! Good job. Plus now I can say I knew you before you were horse famous.
Noi'ce one, mate!
Congratulations Admiral!
4644253
Totally agree.

At least I got my EqD feature before my five year anniversary . . . that counts for something. ;derpytongue2:
4644293
I know, right? I figured that they couldn't refuse it with that art.
4644307
That's entirely possible. Noi is so bloody adorable.

Here she is cosplaying Twilight
4644340
I know, right?
Thanks!
4644377
Well, I hope so anyways.
4644394
Thanks!
4644398
Thank you!
4644410
No such luck. Actually, with all the stories I have, there's surprisingly few that meet their qualifications, oddly enough.
4644416
That's what I thought!
4644422
4644440
Thanks!
4644448
Nope, nothing yet. I guess I'm just not a good enough author.
4644451
Thanks!
There are probably some others I could get on there; I might try submitting another to see what happens.
4644458
I'm now officially horse famous
4644472
Yup, that's the first one.
4644487
4644526
Thanks!
Now's the time to submit. Apparently, they aren't getting as many stories as they used to.
4644602

4644638
Well, it wan't all them. I got tired of rejections, so I stopped submitting for a while.
I'm not lying.
4644660
Are you a Noi'd?
I write other things! My shortest fic is 0 words, and my longest (currently) is a little over a million.
Oh, yeah, I could have done that. Oops.

4644821
Thanks!
And yes, you can say that.
4644899
Thank you!
4644983
Thank you!
Congratulations!
...Not to be THAT guy, but what is up with those other tabs?
Well, um, congratulations on being recognised by a largely obsolete institution.
4645333 Presumably research for OPP, judging by all the "morphine".
4645333
Thanks!
Researching what the physical and mental effects are as the ponies wean Kate off morphine for the next two chapters of OPP.

Thank you!
