    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Extreme Nitpicky Trivia Help Wanted

    I've finally begun work on that story I promised.

    I need a bit of info for a minor touch, though:

    Does anybody know if, through the entirety of MLP:FiM, any month in the Julian/Gregorian calendar has been named by any character in any episode whatever?

    I'm prepared to make up month names, but if they use the same ones we do I won't bother.

A distraction from van shopping... pony shipping. · 5:42pm Feb 1st, 2018

Here's a list of cards for a Changeling Space Program / The Maretian set for Secret Shipfic Folder, beginning with one made by FanOfMostEverything at a prompt:

PONY CARDS

The Martian
Male
(No species)
AU
Human, Astronaut, Crossover
Martian Isolation (Special): You may play Mark without attaching any Ships to him. Mark isn't discarded when he isn't attached to the rest of the shipping grid. This power can't be copied.
"In time they would discover that the only thing more reactive than pure perchlorate salts... was love."
—Red Planet, Pink Hearts

The rest are me:

Cherry Berry
Female
Earth pony

Cherry Berry
Background Pony (Replace)
"Oh, sure, she was third in Cherry's affections after eating cherries and flying balloons, but third place was still a podium finish, and she'd take it."
—Where Nobody's Looking

Cherry Berry, Steely Eyed Missile Mare
Female
Earth pony
AU
Cherry Berry, Astronaut
Unstoppable (Special): If this card is in your hand, you may add it to the grid using the top card from the Ship draw pile. This power can't be copied.
"She had fifteen seconds to dock with Chrysalis's capsule, boost back into orbit, and avoid certain death. Her only thought: what would she do with the other five?"
—The Shared Dream

Queen Chrysalis, Rocket Jock
Female
Alicorn
AU
Changeling, Villain, Astronaut
Changeling (Any)
"Her victory over those accursed ponies lay within her reach. She could almost taste it. It tasted like green cheese."
—The Shared Dream

Warner von Brawn
Male
(no race)
Minotaur, OC
Apolitical (Special): If Warner only has one Ship, then on any turn Warner and the attached Ship card may be moved to a different part of the grid.
"Love? That's not my department."
—The Shared Dream

Goddard the Griffon
Male
(no race)
Griffon, OC
Lay the Foundations (Special): This card may be played as a Ship card instead of as a Pony card. This power can't be copied.
"The griffon chuckled as he listened to the radio. Finally, after forty years, his rocket formulas were being used for a warmer purpose than cold gold bits."
—The Warm Equations

Occupant
Male
Earth pony
Changeling, Astronaut, OC
Paperwork (Draw): Draw two Pony and/or Ship cards.
"The timid changeling stammered an incomprehensible reply. Nopony had ever said his buck fangs were attractive before!"
—The Shared Dream

Dragonfly
Female
Pegasus
Changeling, Astronaut, OC
Changeling (Any Non-Alicorn)
"Dragonfly stared into the eyes of her purple princessly prey. Seducing an alicorn was utter folly... but the changeling could never resist the erotic lure of lethal danger."
—The Warm Equations

Lucky Cricket
Male
Unicorn
Changeling, Astronaut, OC
Lands On His Hooves (Special): If Lucky Cricket is ever discarded, use a Ship card from the discard pile to place him in a new place on the grid. This power can't be copied.
"Lucky leaned back into the pony's warm embrace. Once again, through no act of his own, he'd ended up in the right place at the right time."
—Changeling Boy-Toy Can't Lose!

Rocket Wizard Twilight Sparkle
Female
Alicorn
AU
Twilight Sparkle, Mane 6, Astronaut, Princess
Space Race (Special): All players draw one Pony and one Ship card. This power can't be copied.

—To Embrace the Stars

Test Pilot Rainbow Dash
Female
Pegasus
AU
Rainbow Dash, Mane 6, Astronaut
The Right Stuff (Special): If Test Pilot Rainbow Dash is ever discarded, use a Ship card from the discard pile to place her in a new place on the grid. This power can't be copied.
"Dash's hooves rested on the controls, awaiting the perfect moment. Her only thought was how impressed that sexy evil changeling would be, and how jealous, when she saw this."
—To Embrace the Stars

Backup Pilot Spitfire
Female
Pegasus
AU
Spitfire, Astronaut
The Old Rookie (Replace)
"Spitfire watched the smoke trail of the rocket as it rose out of sight. Her heart flew on that ship, and she vowed that one day the rest of her would follow."

Dragon, Astronaut, OC
Survivor (Special): Ship cards attached to Fireball can't be discarded. This power cannot be copied.

:pinkiehappy: If there's one thing that makes me even happier than making cards, it's seeing other people use those cards as a springboard. Awesome stuff all around, especially It Came in the Mail!

So... I have no clue what this is about but...

You are now reading this in the Space Core's voice.

Starlight Glimmer... in SPAAAAAACE!

And you cant un-read it.:yay:

Edit: and now I'm picturing a GlimGlam/Space Core ship. :rainbowderp::facehoof:

4787151 No, actually, I read it in the announcer's voice from the Muppet Show.

Ponies... In... SPAAAAAACE!

Ship-Stupid Sexy Alien Pheremones

-Red Planet, Pink Hearts

4787572
Some cards count as multiple ponies.

The Cold Equations: Glurgy disaster-porn caused by security forces holding planet-sized Idiot Balls.

What are all of the quotes from? My Google-fu is weak.

4975225 Made up, just like the quotes in TSSSF.
