    Friendship is Card Games: Trixie and the Razzle-Dazzle Ruse

    We return to the pony novels this week, and hopefully a better showing from the titular mare. Last time we saw Trixie in one of these, G. M. Berrow was channeling the fandom circa 2011 and making her and Gilda the designated antagonists of the piece. Let’s see what she’s up to this time.

    Friendship is Card Games: Kenbucky Roller Derby #2 & #3

    We return to the cutthroat world of G5 roller derby, where Sunny’s trying her darndest to prove she’s more than just a casual skater… and has assembled one of the most ragtag teams of misfits this side of the Mighty Ducks in the process. Let’s see how the story’s developed from there.

    No, not mine. The Barcast's. The last call is currently under way, and if you want to hear my part in the grand interview lightning round, you can tune in at 4:20 Eastern/1:20 Pacific (about an hour from this posting.)

    Yes, 4:20 on 4/20. No, I do not partake. Sorry to disappoint. :derpytongue2:

    Pest List

    Just something I whipped together for fun one day, set to a possibly recognizable tune, all intended in good fun. And hey, given that I derived my Fimfic handle from a misremembered detail of the Mikado, it's only appropriate. :derpytongue2:

    Friendship is Card Games: d20 Pony, Ch. 9, Pt. 1

    Goodness, it’s been almost two years since I last checked in on Trailblazer’s adventures. IDW putting out comics almost as quickly as I could review them will do that, especially given all of the G5 video media coming out concurrently.

Time Stretch: Second Turn · 1:12am Oct 4th, 2018

Well, the people have spoken, and the general consensus is that more time can't hurt. In light of that and the card I used for this blog title, I'm giving you all two extra weekends. The deadline for Villain Exchange Program submissions is now October 22nd, 11:59 PM EST. So moving it from my birthday to just before my sister's. Funny how that works. :derpytongue2:

So you're villains being exchanged?

I should be finished soon.

I know it's too late for saying this to matter much, but I gotta say, I would've preferred for this not to happen. Props to you for not waiting until literally a day before the original deadline, but still. Up to you how you want to run your contest and all that. I can sympathize with your reasoning even if I don't agree with your conclusion, and I don't mean to offend. But I think this will make me less likely to consider entering other contests you run, if you're planning on doing more later on down the road.

I hope people make good use of the extra time, and I hope the extension gets you some nice competitors.

Aw, screw it. I'm in. That Tempest Shadow idea needs to be written. I can do this in two weeks. Maybe not well edited in two weeks. But... you now. Done.

And finished.

Before I posted mine, there were six entries. Six.

It also just got a signal boost because one of the stories was written by a FiMFic laureate, and Oroboro mentioned said fic, leading people to it and to this contest. A lot of people probably either forgot or simply didn't know. It's entirely reasonable to extend.
You have several choices here. None of which involve bitching at FoME any more. You can either bow out, do your own contest, or simply stay silent. Stay in your lane.

No one was bitching, Rethewa was very polite and had a perfectly reasonable point.

I appreciate the thought, but there's no need to leap to my defense, especially not if that leap takes you towards someone else's throat. Rethewa is entitled to their opinion, especially when their choices mostly hurt themself. Like Nintendo Power used to say, "You can't win if you don't send in."

I'm sorry if what I said came across came as bitching, because that wasn't my intent. FOME specifically asked for input on the topic of a potential extension the other day, and while you're right that there are other options available to me, to be honest I'm not really keen on any of them. I had an opinion I wanted to express on a topic that seemed relevant to me, and this seemed the most polite way of doing it. I wasn't trying to push anyone's buttons.

Excellent! I was hoping to finish in time, and now I needn't worry.

I hope I end up following the guidelines in my submission. I read the original post and have mostly finished my snip, but only time (and the judge) will tell. At least it's been a good excuse to write MLP stuff again.
