Ahoy ahoy! Time to ramble!
Let's start the year off with an update on my post-hurricane situation; power came back to my neighborhood in December! After more than two months of darkness and ridiculous data bills, I finally have power and internet again! Mind you, that doesn't mean that it's come back everywhere yet (some places are still completely forgotten and untouched, even now in January), but I'm at least doing quite a bit better than many others.
Gonna start a new thing along with the Daily Dosage of Cuteness blogs: Daily Dosage of Shipping.
We're gonna start off with my favorite of them all: TwiDash!
Good news, everyone!
A very generous doner who wishes to remain anonymous has significantly increased the prize pool!
The cash prizes are now:
1st place: $110
2nd place: $85
3rd place: $60
We also have an additional amount earmarked for honorable mentions, depending on how many stories we get total.
So uh, if the previous prizes weren't enough of an incentive, well.
Get writing!
Hey folks. Last minute. Get those submissions in.
To clarify, I apparently had some conflicting information in places, and the contest deadline is 11:59 pm PST, August 31st, 2017.
If you have to wait for your story to pass through moderation, know that we'll count it by the time it was submitted to the mod queue, and we can confirm this with a mod.
Hi again!
I've decided to write a Holiday themed one-shot. I already have Christmas/Hearts Warming shipping but I was thinking of doing a New Years one-shot. What ships do you guys want to see? I've decided to challenge myself, so you cannot pick AppleDash! Even though I love the ship, I just want to try out another ship!
Comment down below and I'll tally them all up by September...around. I'm excited to see what you guys wanna read! That's all, thanks!

Heyo!
So, this is the official announcement for my attendance at Bronycon next week and my panel that will take place there!
So, my panel is called "May the Best Ship Win!" and is going to be on Saturday at 12:30 PM in 'The Hall of the Stars'. Pretty good timeslot if I do say so myself.
Heya folks! Remember that time, two years ago, when I ran a Sunset Shipping Contest that received about 54 entries?
Remember that time last year, when I did another Sunset Shipping Contest that received a whopping 66 entries, and was one of the biggest contests in the sites history? (At the time, anyway.)
Shipping. That wonderful thing that everypony likes.
That was sarcasm.
I don't actually dislike shipping. Only certain ships, such as:
-FlutterMac. Just because they're both quiet doesn't mean couple. Geez.
-Octiscratch. "Opposites attract" isn't nessicarily true. As roommates? Yes. As a couple? Eeeh, no./
-Self-insert x any member of the Mane Six. Because ego-stroking and self-promotion make a wonderful story. Sarcasm.
Tomorrow I go back to the hell hole named high school. Ugh, I am not ready for this shiz. I don't think most people are thought. I wish luck to people who are starting their first day too.
Any, advise?
-Red
For people who have been reading my Starfleet, and seeing Flurry Heart and Shining Light getting close.
the answer is YES... come Starfleet Generation 2, they will be shipped (Married even)
Firstly: Yes, I MYSELF hate Flurry with a burrning passion, but Shining Light isn't ME, he's a character programmed BY me to do exactly as I tell him, just like all OCs.
Second: I'm thinking of making Flurry a Jack-of-all-Trades, or multi-skilled.
Also known as Rarimaud, I love the dynamic between Rarity and Maud Pie and ship 'em hard. They both see beauty in different ways. And their emotional dynamic is hilarious.
Hmm, gotta break my slumber. I've got some ideas about circumstances Twi and Tempest could start growing closer, so consider this a draft. The setting: Twi has separated with her friends (reason unknown) and got captured by Commander Shadow, being kept in a cage at the latter's flagship, and summoned by her for an interrogation.
So, I'm still trying to write chapter 11 of A Dragon's Heart, and I have no clue how to make the girls ask Rarity why she didn't take Spike's feelings into account when she turned him down? And they're setting up for Spike's birthday party at the same time, so, anyone who is willing to take a look and help me would be greatly appreciated!
The warning bells about the universe about to end begin ringing loudly in the TARDIS. Doctor Whooves looks up from his reading and sighs
Doctor: "Not again!"
VWORP... VWORP... VWORP...
He rematerializes in the Crystal Empire Palace. He looks out in irritation at Cadence, who is smiling... And has her shipping chart at the ready.
Doctor: "Damnit Cadence! I told you before, no!"
Cadence: "But think of the shipping! And Auntie is so lonely!"
