My worldbuilding ability peaked at wandering pines, you know it's true

Merry (not yet) Christmas! Have a Jinglemas fic, Saplings, to celebrate it much too early. Rainbow Dash and Sweetie Belle wrangling ambulatory trees into festive shape's just what the (almost) holiday calls for.

If you think it's a bit early for Jinglemas fics to start going up by themselves, you'd be right, though it's for reasons outwith the control of myself or the Jinglemas organisers. If you've not already seen their blog post here, and you've got a Jinglemas bun in the oven yourself, best to get it posted on the site and PMed their way as soon as possible. If you're not participating in Jinglemas and have even less of of a clue what the New Stories column is doing than usual, then it might eventually calm down and relatively-normal service may resume. No promises, though.

Not until we get a lore entry on their government, lands, notable figures, and forms of magic it hasn't!

Some sagas of a people, I can't even begin to attempt to do justice to.

Eh, it's the first night of Hannukah. Close enough.

My vote from 2016 for the next world-building blog to be about magic still stands, you jolly holiday con artist.

Close enough indeed.

If I had anything resembling a to-do-list drafted by a well-organised and capable mind, I swear it would be on there.

I see you have chosen to force my hand once again.

The ritual is performed. That tightening you feel in your chest indicates the countdown has begun. You have six of your human weeks.

Oh god. Human hands weren't meant to try and type a magic blogpost and the next Palaver sequel in parallel. What else have you done.

Nothing that I can immediately recall. So if you're feeling any other effects, I'll tell you right now, it's too late to undo it if I can't even remember what it was. My best advice is to try to meet the resolve condition within the deadline, and to stop giving me reasons to pile on new curses. Beyond that, I can't help you.
