    Drabble

    Pegasi had a belief. It gave way to tradition, then superstition, and finally to aphorism, but it grain of truth in it persists. That you can tell all you need about someone by the sound of their wings.

    Why is there no Changeling story called...

    "All Love Is Unrequited?"

    Anyway, it's been a while since I made a blog post for...various life reasons. This is mostly to check in and prove that I am not actually dead. Also that I have written some 25k words of original sci-fi in a month. I am hoping I can keep this up! And give you all a story with jovial insect aliens, sassy AIs, and a mystery.

Oh man, I love filk! I only wish there were more artists in the genre these days.

Classic. There is always With This Ring of course. A bunch of her other songs are ripe with story potential, or are otherwise pretty great. I have a particular fondness for the Ballad of Smallpox Gone.

I don't know if there's a short story in that song but there ought to be...

You mean other than the lyrics explicitly being a short story and even laid out in a storybook on the video's background to drive home that fact?

I don't know if it really needs expanding, it seems pretty complete.

Well I meant a pony short story inspired by it.
