Sorry for the delay, but I had to edit the rules!
The only significant differences are that M stories may be selected, you're allowed to use my book to search for a quote (if you want), and there's a second kind of contest we'll be doing. I'll be doing the second type next week (today is the usual).
You can spend Trick Points in the Trick-Store to get all sorts of cool stuff!

General Rules
- The comment closest to the correct answer wins the Trick Point!
- Ties go to the earliest post.
- Whenever you win a contest you have to sit out the next contest.
- You only get one guess! Editing your comment after posting it disqualifies you.
(* = If you made a mistake with your post, such as naming the story but forgetting to name the chapter, you may post a second comment with any corrections provided you do it within five minutes of the initial post.)
Contest Type 1: Find the Quote! (most common)
- I will post a line or two from one of my published story chapters.
- When not hoof-picked, chapter selection is random from a flat distribution.
- The same chapter could be selected twice in a row.
- You may only look at the stories via Fimfiction, or in my book.
- You are not permitted to search multiple pages at once.
- Using "find in page" in your browser is okay! (In some cases it might not work.)
- Searching through a copy of my stories, browser history, or Googling is not permitted.
This week's quote:
"Yes. Come now, you knew this would happen," it said.
Good luck, everypony!
Winter Heat, eponymous chapter.
I keep posting blank comments by mistake when I push the space bar to scroll after posting a real one and it hits the submit button again instead.

Spacebar to scroll? I'm guessing either accessibility option, or this is an Apple or Linux-variant thing.

Or just a Firefox thing? My habit of it might be a Unixism, but it functions on Windows Firefox too. … and Windows Chrome. And Edge. Okay, maybe it is as ubiquitous as I thought earlier.

Oh, it does do that! I never noticed. Or I forgot, because brain problems.

The world is sincerely a confusing and ridiculous place even in that mythical state of zero major brain problems. When you add what happens in practice to brains living inside the confusing and ridiculous place, well, Discord starts getting out the Popcorn of Stack Underflowing even before you get into what happens when they get into more advanced conflicts.

(in case this was unclear I am currently also having crippling amounts of (probably not as permanent×bad) problems and cannot even and that was meant as an experiential sort of sympathy and acceptance but I'm not sure it came out that way)

By the way, be aware the quiz contest (type 2) I'm about to post in ~13 minutes will allow you to participate (this can be useful to learn things from your score), even though you aren't included in determining the winner. Rules for this are now on the rules page, and this will also be copied into the post I'm about to make.

I will probably sit that one out for unrelated reasons, but thanks for the heads up!
