HOW TO WRITE A HOLIDAY FIC · 3:54am Dec 16th, 2018
"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry.
"It is December which means we are deluged with holiday specials which means we in turn have to write holiday specials of our own! But since there's been like two three pony holiday episodes so far (not counting some shorts apparently?) what can we do to distinguish our own work?"
WELL LET ME TELL YOU.
Step 1: Drink drinks. HOLIDAY drinks. Which ... is traditionally eggnog, I suppose? Though personally I prefer hot toddies because they are warmer and there's some citrus in there to ward off scurvy.
Step 2: Watch this:
Step 3: Don't be a bitch.
Then, I dunno, rip off some other classic holiday story. One other than the Dickens, 'cause the show beat you to it. So, uh ... I dunno. Batman Returns? Or Die Hard? I vaguely recall hearing about some Rarijack story that was also Die Hard somehow. Hm.
The important part is that you don't be a bitch.
This may be hard, but I believe in you.
Kinda.
Oh and go read that one holiday fic I wrote last year that nobody read 'cause it was about Starlight Glimmer.
I think my life is now worse for knowing that video exists.

I dunno. I can think of a few people I could send it to.

Just saying, don't be a bitch (or you won't get stuff for Christmas).
It's sage advice.

Hang with the goodie-goodies, kick the wheat chex outta them Christmas morning, and take their stuff. Bitchiness irrelevant!
Only... Did you know CPS has professional Family Violence Facilitators? Bad choice of job title: it doesn't mean what it sounds like.

I hope so, at least if CPS doesn't stand for Clobbering People Sadistically.
Well I found this story but if you remember the name of the rarijack one, hit me with it.
