Much wow!
@EndlessHearts: Feather told me you write well, but I never read anything by you before. That last thing, had created quite a stir here! (Half a dozen Griffins have asked me if you're single :P) Expect your scrollbox to explode if it hasn't already.
This might be weird, but can you write a Griffin Human story? I've been trying, but I'm not into writing, and Feather is just a ball of hot air :P
GriffinGirlfriend
I can write that! I'd love to write that! Just give me a few days to read through the rest of the books and I'll write that!
HappyG
Finally the public recognizes the true skill of Squishy! (As they should!) :) About time, too!
In general Short&Hoofy is busy, but under the right circumstances I could probably be inclined to ask her to write this… Just goofing around with you. Short writes what Short wants. That's one area I don't have any influence on her :)
RRBB
@Short&Hoofy: Welcome to humfame! Not that you didn't have it already, but to have someone ask you to write a story for hem, that's a big thing :)
And yes, I think you should write something with Griffins (I'm so curious what you'll do. You always tend to surprise me in a good way :))
LyraHands
Short is one of the bright stars :) I also want to read a bit more of Simile, even if it's the exact opposite. Short write great slice of life romances, while Simile is a masterful adventurer. If the two work on a collaboration… :) Please consider it.
Candle
@Candle: great idea!
How about we make a huge collaboration? I mean two stories: one in Equestria and one on Earth, each written by a set of great authors! Like day and night, but following own theme.
Equestria will have: Simile, EndlessHearts, and Quarters
Earth will have: Brush, Jade, and LightSparkle
RRBB could edit, PaintDrop could do the illustrations, and I will make the soundtrack:)
Oh, oh, and TrueSparkle, HopHop, and DarkSparkle can make the audiospell!
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: that's one ambitions collaboration… I love it! Girls, please make that happen! :D
LyraHands
That would definitely be a major achievement. A fan creation of professional quality. I think it would be wonderful, especially if a promotional chapter could be completed before the convention (which is about a month away now).
I'm also willing to find ways of getting this in print once done. If @Luna is alright with this. The proceeds could go to fund social activities of the site as well as support (in case of emergencies).
The TechNightling
@The TechNightling: This is actually a wonderful idea! I'll talk with Prince Blueblood about it right away!
Be right back.
Luna
I'd be up for it :) Won't lie, I've been thinking what it would be life for Endless to be working with me, and Quarters has a sweet story. :)
Simile
@all: Forgive me, my darlings! I wanted to post the results of the contest, I really did, but real life has been so troublesome as of late. Even now I'm working of something of great importance and don't think I'll be able to manage in the next few days :(
I have read some of the entries, and I do like them a lot, but I don't want to leave this half done. You all deserve better than that.
Thank you for understanding, and please, please, please accept my apologies.
Grace
I'm already sponsoring this. :) It’s a great idea and could give birth to something unique.
On that note, I like to announce the SECOND shipping contest. This one with a Chosen of Poseidon twist. (I'll post the rules in a few days.)
Now that's out of the way, I really want to see this happen. Six of the best writers on the site (plus RRBB, PaintDrop, and SweetStuff), joining together to make one masterpiece.
Edit: my husband actually made happy horse noises when he saw this over my shoulder. (And I hate to shame him for it! :P)
InItForTheShipping
@GriffinGirlfriend: I'd love to do it. :)
Short&Hoofy
Aww, that's so sweet. Can I help with edits as well? I'm not as good as RRBB, but I'm still okay I think. Please? This sound alike so much fun :)
Twist
@Twist: Are you kidding?! You're more than good. Hay, you deal with AwesomePony every day. (I'd never have the patience for that :))
@Short&Hoofy: Come here, you! *kisses* By the way exams are over now (and an anonymous fellow Nightling told me I have nothing to worry about) so I can officially see you again! (I expect you home before sunset! ;P)
RRBB
That sounds near. I’m in. Also, my family has connections with publishing houses in Manehattan, so it won't be a problem getting it in print. The house that did Brush’s book is quite good, so I think we'd best be using them?
I'll do illustrations for free, of course.
PaintDrop
It's official! Prince Blueblood has given the go ahead and will also personally sponsor the events. Depending on their schedule he might also get the Wonderbolts to be in that as well.
Great job, everyone!
I'm getting back to work now (before LyraHands starts crying :P)
Luna
I'm not crying!
I do feel warm inside, though. Each time something of the sort happens I tear up, write a long post, then tell myself “there’s no way to top this” … and then you prove me wrong! Thank you!
Maybe it's the biochemistry kicking in, but I really feel like a mother right now: a mother that is watching her children grow and become the magnificent ponies they are, capable of things she could never achieve.
If @MixaMax wasn't freaking out (I'm in constant touch with her) she'd be the first to tell you how bad my fanfics are. Horrible is too kind a word. Even @MightyDragon writes better :) Looking at the masterpieces you've written…I have no words. And it's not only that! The way we help each other and stand up for ponies we don't even know… that's precisely what I've dreamed our world should be. And you made it happen!
EqF isn't just a site on the aethernet anymore, it's becoming part of our world! The things we do, the fact we can now talk more openly about it it's incredible! You all are incredible!
And I'll stop now before I really start crying. Thank you, Nightlings! Thank you for everything you've done. I love you all!
LyraHands
@LyraHands: *hugs*
@all: you jerks, you're making me look weird crying in the hospital bed :P
