On Writing: Be Like Dad

So it's Father's Day! Don't usually consider producing art in time for a particular holiday, but this was one of the story ideas I had in my mind and it just fit the theme. Someone did comment on why it ended up appearing the day before Father's day, and that's pretty much down to timezones and plans. I'm from the UK, so I'm usually six to nine hours ahead of American users, so if I submitted it in the early morning, it would appear the day before or past midnight on Sunday, and if I submitted it in the evening I wouldn't be long until Father's day in the UK is over. Also, I had already made plans to see my parents on the day, so that's why I submitted it past midnight in the UK so it would be on the site in the morning.

As for the story itself, I was pretty much inspired by that flashback in Going to Seed. That small bit with Bright Mac and Little Mac was sweet, so I thought I'd broaden it out. I've felt as though the ending could have been written better, but I'm glad some people appreciate it for the wholesomeness I intended.

Lastly, another Father's Day thing, I actually commissioned pony art (Shock and Horror), major thanks to Little Tigress for this brilliant piece of young Sandbar surfing with his dad!
