noise."A reading, A number, and A Third Thing · 2:38am Nov 3rd, 2017
Okay, first of all, Lotus Moon has done a reading of Super Short Clopfics! So if you feel the need to listen to the experiences of our fearless second-person narrator getting busy with a horse (and various other Equestrian beings), give it a listen. You won't be sorry you did!
not an episode screencap but we all wish it was
I'd put a link right here, but I'm legit not sure what the rule on that is, since it is of course a mature reading. I can link the story in the blog post, and there's a link right in the description. Also, here's her YouTube channel.
Secondly, some of you might have noticed this in the latest OPP chapter:
My loyalist, bestest, stalkeryest readers no doubt remember in Silver Glow's Journal when the word "run" had a hyperlink to an image of one million, and surely knew this for what it was. For the rest of y'all, that was my two millionth word.
Now, as before, the same caveats apply. It's Fimfic's word counter, which is questionable at best. Some of the stories published on my accounts weren't written by me, most notably Fimfic Authors are in Your Bed. Counteracting that, we have the stories I've written that have been published other places, like the Collab Cage, and of course my super-secret alt account, which you should forget I just mentioned.
Point is, it's as good a method as any.
Now, if someone wants to actually print out every single one of my published stories and count every single word . . . have at it. Odds are by the time you're done counting, I'll be over two million words by any reckoning.
To save y'all the trouble of going back through the chapter and looking, the word was 'like.' Not the best word, as Rarity can tell you.
But it is what it is.
And for those of you keeping count, word 1 million was "Run," word 2 million was "like."
Let's see what the three millionth word is, shall we?
Thing the third!
Last weekend, I took a train ride behind Pere Marquette 1225, and I promised that I'd take pictures.
Well, I did.
The thing is, I think that the people who didn't buy a ticket got the better view. In some ways, it was no different than a train ride behind any sort of locomotive. We weren't out in the open, so we couldn't smell the smoke from the locomotive. And even Amtrak would have been faster, and it's also cheaper.
Mind you, I'm not saying it wasn't worth doing. The experience was totally worth it (and if I remember, I'll blog more about that later), and of course we got to ogle the locomotive before and after the ride.
Point is, there's a few lovely YouTube videos of parts of the excursion from outside, with reasonably high production values (somebody even had a drone). More than what I can do with a cell phone camera, to be sure.
For those of you who are curious, I was in car 147, which is the one with the orange and blue stripes. I was on the right side of the train, maybe three windows back.
For those of you who are reasonably familiar with rail transportation services around the DC area, yes, car 147 is in MARC colors. It's a former MARC commuter car, and it was apparently a PRR car before MARC got it.
But production values be darned, I took some pictures with my cell phone camera anyways.
Well, google's algorythm told me it's gonna be "hell"
Ok, Admiral, I will have you know, that is NOT an episode screencap. Way too kinky.
(Plus the link literally says alternate version commison.)
Speaking of kinky, I never noticed Rarity's marshmallow pony ass sticking up out of the bathwater in that comic.
So was the train car you were in old-timey? It's hard to tell from the outside. When I was younger, my mom would take me to the Illinois Railroad museum every summer and on Saturdays they'd actually fire up the steam loco and pull the actual vintage passenger cars, and you could ride in them, so you got the whole experience. They have I think one or two miles of private track.
Let's hope it's not "hell" or "tartarus".

Admiral posts his 3 millionth word. Suddenly, spontaneously, all around him, the sound of a chanting crowd and guitars.
Thinking about it, the most impressive thing about that number is that half of these two million words are from silver Glow...

That's not an unreasonable assumption, honestly.

I want to believe it's an episode screencap.
Besides, they've done bondage before.

In the same comic, she's wearing a thin little nightdress and has a picture of Applejack she puts next to her bed. . . .
It was just old. A bit of googling tells me it's ex PRR (so pre 70s), was formerly a sleeper car, then converted to a commuter car, then sold to the state of Michigan. Inside, it was finished in 80s city bus chic.
IIRC, the Illinois Railroad Museum has/had a track that ran parallel to someone's mainline, and they used to race freight trains back in the 80s, just for the fun of it.

It's funny, every time I hear the phrase "run like hell," I think of the song by City Boy The Day the Earth Caught Fire

If it happens, you can be sure I'll blog about it.

That's very true. And about 600,000 of them are pony planet related (but of course it took me well over a year for the pony planet stories).

Oh that's fucken cool! I didn't know that.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was them. I'd have to dig through some very old magazines to find the article for sure, though.
