    An Old MFAB Second Chapter Draft

    You know, I never continued Magical Filly Apple B, and I suspect I never will, but I do have a fair amount of an old draft lying around for the second chapter.

    I remember I really felt like I needed to go through and revise Twist's familiar's accent, as it was getting rather out of control. I was having trouble with Twist's lisp, a bit, too.

    Familiarity Signal Boost / JWI excerpt

    Just thought I'd provide a signal boost to Fervidor's new story, Familiarity.

    TFamiliarity
    Scootaloo's life changes forever when she meets Fang, a strange magician who is not what she seems. As the two grow closer, secrets are revealed. What does it mean to be a familiar?
    Fervidor · 69k words  ·  153  8 · 2.6k views

    I'm tagging this with Just Winging It, since there are some elements in common, and I think people that like it might also like Familiarity, from what I've read so far.

    Convention Safety

    While I should probably do a post on having updated Cubic Zirconia, in this case, I'm doing a signal boost on horizon's latest blog, as it is a subject people really should be aware of:
    The elephant in the equine room

    I'm All Right

    Just a quick note, as it occurred to me that some people may remember that I live in Las Vegas.

    I'm totally fine. The only time I went out yesterday was to the grocery store, and thankfully I was not where the shooting occurred. First I knew about it was this morning, when I went into Facebook, and it asked me to confirm that I'm alright.

    Yeah, I suck... (re: writing, or the lack therein)

    I was just looking, and Cubic Zirconia hasn't been updated in almost a year. I promise I haven't forgotten about it.

A good number of people I know locally have already confirmed that they're fine, though I haven't heard from absolutely everyone yet.

Certainly a terrible thing, and politicians have already come forward to reassure us that they don't want to talk about gun control. :facehoof:

Good to see that you're okay, arcum42

I did wonder :rainbowderp: I'm glad to hear you're okay.

Thanks. Still worried about at least one friend I haven't heard from, but it's someone that doesn't have facebook, and may very well not have checked their email.

And now I'm hearing about Tom Petty...

Glad you're alive and safe and here's hoping your other friends are too. Now to figure out what I can do to help from Canada...

I am (exceptionally belatedly) very relieved to hear. Have been off fimfic for a few weeks due to (among other things) the CA wildfires, but I too am okay.

Glad to hear it. Wildfires aren't a new thing in California, but this one sounds bad.

I did go out to the Age of Chivalry last Saturday, which had a lot of people and music and ren faire things, and fortunately, no snipers or terrorists. I think if anyone tried to bring a gun there, they'd have gotten in trouble because of it not being period. That was fun, though.

Oh, and as far as I know, no one I know was hurt. I've heard from everyone that came to mind when it happened by now...
