From Beyond · 4:25am Jan 12th, 2020
Hey you! With the face! Would you like to write a story about one of the nonpony sapient species found around Equestria? Would you like to win a review, interview, or cold hard cash? Do you think you can make something interesting in under ten kilowords? Then I have good news!
Jake the Army Guy's Horseword Extravaganza 2 has begun, and the prompt is "Beyond Equestria." I'm one of the judges, and I look forward to seeing what you do with the other beings you have to choose from. The deadline is Leap Day, February 29th. It may seem far off now, but deadlines have a nasty habit of screaming towards you faster than you think. Sign up today!
(Note: Despite the prompt, EqG humans are not a valid species for this contest. Local universe only.)
As one of the Faceless Ones from the Endless Horde of the Neverending Eternity, I feel a little insulted here.
Stupid jokes aside, it's always nice to see more contests popping up. Means more stories to read
that I'll never get around to, seriously I still have Imposing Sovereigns and Sunset Shipping Contest: Changing Seasons stories to read but nevermind thatGoodness, I really do, but I'm already planning four fics for this spring! I doubt I'll make it.

Damn, I wanted to be the one to make a "why do you assume I have a face?" joke...
Huh...
Say, FoME, you wouldn't happen to describe yourself as a particularly... broken man(/woman/other/Fan), would you?

Obscure references to brilliant comics aside, I have been trying to write a lot more this year (and have managed it so far, though that's hardly long enough to be too confident) and while I'm intending to mostly focus on my own series, I might be able to come up with something I'd feel okay submitting, we'll have to see. If nothing else, even if I have no expectation of winning, I can at least help whoever does get a bit more from the contest.

Hey, don't worry about it. There's always room for more in the Unending Perputual Endless Horde of the Forever Neverending Eternal Eternity. Now you too can make jokes about lacking a face, for the low low price of pledging your soul to our Lord and Master, Aeternitas, and this joke turned got weirdly out of hand really fast wow.

My apologies to my Æternite, Eldrazi, incorporeal cyber-entity, and similarly faceless followers. The term was meant in jest, but that doesn't forgive such presumption.

It's funny; someone else asked me via PM if I was a brony YouTuber who also uses the expression. I'm neither; the catchphrase is just a fun way of getting people's attention. You know, when you don't factor in the aberration audience.
