Bronycon!: Horizon sighting opportunities · 3:19am Jul 30th, 2019

"Horizon!" you might ask as the clock ticks down toward August. "Are you going to be at Bronycon?"

Full details below, but first, I will let the convention's website answer that question:

So, yes! If you like the idea of hanging out with me at a convention, I've gotcha covered! And if you want more — if you want one epic, final chance to marinate in the writing that has made me vaguely horse-famous — boy are you in luck!

The Lost Horizon Episode

I bet you didn't think those were four words you'd ever see together. :rainbowkiss:

Check out the Mane Stage, 1 PM Saturday for one of the con's headline events, billed as the "Voice Actor Script Reading".

Those are gonna be actual show VAs. (And some high-profile fan VAs, too.) And that script? About 80% mine. (I got assists from fellow convention guests Monochromatic and Skywriter, and editing assistance from Everfree NW fan script contest winner Aquaman.)

I am not at liberty to spoil anything about it — only to say that it is a radio-play style Equestria Girls episode written exclusively for the convention, and it'll feature plenty of laughs AND feels for EQG and MLP fans alike, as we celebrate G4 drawing to a close!

Panels!

Panels panels panels!

I'll be at several, but the highlight is going to be leading the RCL's big fanfic cage match: "Ponyfic: There Can Be Only One" in the Hall of the Moon from 11:15 AM Saturday. Here are details. Come help us choose THE FANDOM'S BEST FANFIC™ in this audience participation event!

I'll also be helping GaPJaxie et.al. with "Original Characters IV: Beyond Equestria", talking about how to create dynamic and awesome original fiction characters, and also why Applejack is best background pony. Hall of the Moon, 11:15 AM Friday!

Up for something a little more light-hearted? Watch me play Jackbox against some of the show guests at 10 AM Sunday on the Mane Stage! Let's see if the quick wit of a fanfic author can lead me to victory, or if my brain locks up trying to keep my Princess Cadance joke to a PG rating and I choke like Eminem on his mom's spaghetti!

Want to corner me and tell me about your OC? I am guaranteed to be at the Fanfiction Author CG Meet and Greet (Harmony Plaza, 8:30 PM Saturday). For much of the rest of the con, you'll be able to find me hanging around Quills & Sofas and/or the Golden Oaks Bookstore, but the Meet and Greet is a scheduled event.

I will also be at Opening Ceremonies and Closing Ceremonies, which are worthwhile in their own right but aren't terribly Horizon-centric.

Souvenirs!

Or should I say, BOOKS?

Songs of the Sisters will premiere at the convention! A best-of collection themed around Celestia, Luna, and the ponies who love them.

I could have just printed Time Enough For Love on its own and called it a day, but NO! You get a whole 100,000 EXTRA words of indispensable short stories and poetry — including Administrative Angel and its ALL-NEW, NOT-YET-ON-FIMFIC SEQUEL!

$25 hardback, $15 paperback. Gorgeous full-wraparound cover art by Nadnerb. Story list here.

Are you hype? I'm hype! Are you gonna be there? Speak up in comments! It'll be great to see you — a number of you for the first time! :pinkiehappy:

I'm hype! I'm gonna be there! Sounds like you've got a great lineup of things you're involved with! Yet more exclamation points!!!!

I wouldn't miss that script reading for the world. :coolphoto:

Congratulations are in order for, well, all of this. How does it feel to be a renaissance man?

Why do i gotta be lame and miss this oml.

Awesome, see you there!

That cover is devastatingly gorgeous, but I can't help but imagine Celestia saying, "Oh, Mr. Smashy, what have I done?" and then I chuckle.

In any case, looking forward to seeing you and helping to decide the premiere horsewords, to say nothing of the VA reading. Those are always great.

You all look so fab-u-lous, darlings! :raritystarry::duck:

Look forward to getting drunk as fuck with you there!

I’m hugely excited about the prospect of getting to meet you! :pinkiehappy:

I can’t find you in that website picture, all I see is some changeling....

Hype!
See you there :twilightsmile:

Especially since you are no longer obligated to threaten my precious, precious kneecaps in order to get TEFL finished!

Wow. Just wow.

I'm not attending, so I hope the script reading will be recorded!

Sadly, for legal reasons with Hasbro and the con that won't be possible. :( This has been an issue several times with official VAs interacting with unofficial media; it has to be super tightly controlled or they can't do it at all.

I will post the script somewhere after the con, though.

So from the pictures, at least two people I know went to this thing.

And up to 10,212 that you didn't!
