    AO3 Account + Helluva Boss Story

    Hey all, just a bit of an update blog.

    I've finally polished up my AO3 account after releasing my latest story there, my first one for Helluva Boss and my second non-pony story in literally years. I am very proud of it, so I encourage you to check it out. I blew through this story in a week, something I've not experienced for over a year.

    Any Other Writers Going to CiderFest?

    I'm planning on attending my first CiderFest this year, and I'm applying for a panel, there. I have a lot to say about platonic affection's importance in humans and its wide prevalence in the fanfiction of our fandom, being sort of a specialist in it. Ideally though I'd like to have one or two other co-panelists to help guide and create discussion both among the panelists and with the audience.

    Did you count the moons again like I told you to?
    You can use them to see how much longer it'll be before I come back again.

:twilightsmile: The originally planned cover artwork for, 'From Your Brother, with Love'. Cover Art has been updated. Truly, patience is not my virtue, as I probably should have just waited the extra week. :twilightsheepish:

Be sure to visit SpindleSpice and thier amazing stuff!

This is great art too.

If I can be honest, I like the first one better. This is good art too though. ^^

This is basically the same picture. The new one is just cropped from the sides with the title at the top. I like this full image better also, though.

Honestly, I feel like you could have kept the full image and just put the title above the top in one line. But hey, your story. And we do still have access to this one.

I admit I have rather convoluted and OCD-esque tastes for avatars on here. I like them to be portrait in shape, both because it focuses in on the characters (no cropping would have made our buggos very zoomed out, and thier expressions are the entire point of this artwork), but also because the description text doesn't cut to continue below the cover when the cover is longer than it is wider, it typically just stays alongside it, which just looks better.

Also, yes, the likeness was intentional. They're two parts of the same scene, just at different times. Unlike the inspiration art, this one doesn't give anything away about the story climax, so I prefer it as the cover. Not to say I don't love both artworks, of course. :pinkiehappy:

See your point, though. :twilightsmile:
