Signal Boost: Silver Sparks, Wizard for Hire · 2:48am Mar 22nd, 2021
Got another new entry into the Not-A-Contest from Roxylalolcat!
This one takes a slightly different approach than most of the others have.
This one’s got a proper unicorn Magus.
As her card puts it:
Silver Sparks – Wizard.
Lost things found, broken things fixed.
Various other spells, just ask!
No love potions or turning lead into gold.
Yes, I do birthday parties!
(And one wonders if the last few clauses weren’t originally in there, or if that’s just standard Equestrian Magus boilerplate.)
It’s an interesting take, one which I rarely see in SoL PoE stories. One which I rarely use, to be honest.
It’s also got two things in it which are particularly near and dear to my heart, but I don’t want to say what they are and spoil the surprise.
Ohmigosh, the Admiral is blogging about me! This is the best day of 2021 so far!
Seriously though, thank you so much. Not just for this shout-out, but for the not-a-contest as well. Silver Sparks wouldn't exist without it, and I've really enjoyed a lot of the other stories it's spawned.

She is adorable and I loved it, when can we has more?
Is this a Harry Dresden reference? I'll be keeping an eye on this.

It was indeed inspired by The Dresden Files.

I'm glad you think so. More will be coming eventually, but I'm a slow writer, so it might be a while.

Knew it!
Not sure if I'll get to it today, but I've put it on a short list; thanks. :)
What a cool premise. Think I found my bedtime story for tonight
Hmm, the Dresden Files with a pony.

Dude, the not-a-constest is one of the best things I’ve done, it’s spawned so many great stories and so many authors have written their first story for it, and a few well-established authors have tried something they wouldn’t have otherwise. There’s been so many ideas I never would have thought of, it’s just been fantastic all around. And the best part is that it just keeps on going! Slow writer, no problem, there’s no deadline. Already submitted once, no biggie, there’s virtually no rules at all.
