Story Notes: Birthday Blues · 7:11pm Dec 14th, 2020

Yes, today really is my birthday. I wasn't really planning on writing anything for the occasion, but the idea popped into my head a few minutes after midnight. I finished it up after I woke up. Another self-insert for the Car Wash series.

More importantly, it's the fourth story in the series (of five total) to feature my car in the cover art. A year ago when I posted Car Wash, Admiral Biscuit mentioned there were four stories on Fimfiction with his cars as the cover art and challenged me to beat him. It's only taken a year and a few months to tie things up.

Really, this is just an excuse for me to write something starring Minty and use the new Minty character tag. Because best pony.

Heh, good luck with that challenge. :D

And less extra information in this blog post than cute pony art -- but, you know, it's not as if I don't like cute pony art, so not complaining. :D

Thank you! I already have cover art for another story, but I'm thinking I may write something else in the series first. We'll see!

It was a short little self-insert. There wasn't really anything to talk about (other than myself, and I already consider it egotistical to have a series of self-insert fics; there's no need to bore everyone even more by talking about myself). And let's face it, looking at pics of cute little ponies is better than looking at pics of me. :raritywink:

In reality, most of my friends bailed on me yesterday for one reason or another (it's sad that I managed to accurately predict that in my story), the restaurant that does free birthday meals was closed due to COVID, and yet I still had fun. I started the day by opening up the Basic Fun reissue of G1 Heart Throb a few minutes after midnight, and it's hard not to be happy when adding one of my favorite ponies to my herd. I just wish she were pinker. Her body's more the color of Cozy Glow than it is Heart Throb, which is disappointing since her cutie mark is barely visible on the lighter color. Still, I don't see me getting an original G1 Heart Throb anytime soon, so I'm more than happy with a slightly inaccurate repop.

And I wrote a story. I consider that a win!

:)
Which series, though?
Oh, the self-insert one as mentioned in the next paragraph?

Heh, I mean, I don't know what you look like, but... yeah, sorry, doubt you match the cute ponies. Just statistics, you know. :D

Ah, aye, sorry about the things you weren't able to do there.
Glad you still had fun, though!
And that you're happy with that pony, even if the color's slightly off. :)

The Car Wash series. Thus far, those would be:

Car Wash
Ponies, Horses, & Mustangs, Oh My!
Filly Cheesesteaks
Trunk-Or-Treat
Birthday Blues

They're all self-inserts, and I should probably come up with something better than 'the Car Wash series' to describe them.

Heh, I mean, I don't know what you look like, but... yeah, sorry, doubt you match the cute ponies. Just statistics, you know. :D

I don't think even the cutest human could beat even the ugliest of ponies. So I don't take offense to that at all! :scootangel:

Thanks for the clarification. :)
