(Technically) New Story + Bookstore Survey Reminder · 1:17am Jan 10th, 2019
Hey, that's a sight and a half: a new thing published on here that I actually wrote with my own two typing hands. At least, it's new to you guys: this is actually my entry in Everfree Northwest 2018's Iron Author competition, which I cleaned up in July after several months and then promptly forgot to actually post for several more months. It's the product of two hours of frantic typing based on an idea I've been kicking around for a long time (pre-Perfect Pear, even) about what happened to Applejack's parents, and I like how it came out a lot. I just, y'know, didn't post it for a while because it only got an honorable mention in the contest and I instinctively dismiss any contest entry of mine that doesn't formally place, because I'm a catty narcissist who still can't handle losing at stuff it's not important.
In other news, I'd like to go ahead and submit the vendor application for the BronyCon Bookstore tomorrow night so I'm not stressing to beat the deadline Friday, so consider this last call to fill out the survey I mentioned in my previous blog. All I really want for the application is a numerical total of authors/books likely to be involved with this thing that I can share with BronyCon staff, so this isn't a hard deadline in terms of being able to participate. That being said, it stands to reason that the more interested participants I can quantitatively show off in the application, the better odds we have of getting a positive response, so go ahead and fill it out if you're definitely in the "I wanna do this" camp.
That's it, I guess. Couple other fics are in the pipeline as well: one nearly drafted in full (and steaming towards 20k words, so that'll be fun to edit), plus another smaller piece I might churn out this weekend depending on whether the idea crystallizes right. First one's definitely coming at some point, in any event.
Peace.
Thanks for the reminder about the Bookstore, I'd completely forgotten about it in the craziness of the holidays.
oh shit, Aqua published a new story better go read it
Damnit, Aqua. Now I have the Perfect Pear song in my head. Which means this will be an enjoyable work shift.
Submitted my survey a few days ago. Been learning about publishing and book creation firsthand since. I'd say this event you created has spurred me back into the love for writing. Thanks man! I hope BronyCon gives us the go ahead. :)
I've submitted the survey but I left the book names question blank. I may have one or two different books I want to sell but I need to think about this in more detail.
Email me at wolf.trickster@gmail.com if you need an immediate response.
