I like Equestria Girls. Rainbow Rock's was awesome, and the first movie was okay. The last movie, however, wasn't very good. And I think I know why.
First a mini review of Friendship Games:
Four ponies share similar backstories, in some sense, a what could have happened had this happened, and different reactions. Many only see them in pairs, such as Twilight and Sunset. Maybe, for some, Starlight. But, Moondancer should also be included in this. Yes, there are times when I feel like an analyst, even though I am a story writer, and perhaps I am partially so, I do enjoy studying these sorts of things.
Hello Fallout fans and MetaVerse watchers alike!
As it's the eve of the (hopefully) rejuvenation of Fallout 76 via their adding NPC content to their game, I have been hard at work trying to get a companion story ready for release.
Ooo-la-la! Someone's got a date. A date you'll be able to read in full!
I thought I'd give a few more details about the project, talk about where the ships are at in their relationships when we meet them, and go into what the process has been like in collaborating with an artist this closely.
So, to recap what this project is:
With the first two shorts aired and the movie premiere on the horizon with the others, it's only fitting to post what some of us hope to see in the upcoming "Friendship Games".
The Illusions Return
I just saw Forgotten Friendship. And once again, the plot is the same: an Equestrian Maguffin was banished to the EqG realm; ergo EqG has to deal with the problem Equestria wouldn't/couldn't handle. Before you say, "that's just the Equestrian Girls' plot gimmick," let me tell you that another franchise suffered for repeating this same plot over and over and over.
Two weeks late, a new Nightmare Night chapter is finally nearing completion. My apologies for the delay, but my muse has been elsewhere (on Feathered Hearts) and it just had not been coming quickly. It should be going to prereaders shortly, and be released either Saturday or Sunday depending on when the prereads are in. Helping matters is that I have today off and can work on it. Veterans Day is a bank holiday, and I work for a bank if you didn’t already know. That gives us a few
Hello, everyone~
Jinglemas is an annual tradition on Fimfiction, where everybody who wants to participate puts their name and what they want in a story into a hat, they all get shuffled around by some mysterious process, and then you get to write a story that the other person wants for Jinglemas.
As far as fanfic goes, I'm currently actively working on three stories. Two of them are new ones I mentioned when I ended my hiatus - Rariquest and Her Chosen Princess of the Sun. As an aside, I've found Cozy Glow's character to be quite close to the character I was going for with Sunset Shimmer in Her Chosen Princess of the Sun, though the role they fill is very different so I still want to get around to writing that eventually. The bigger issue is the Season 9 Premiere addressed the same
Q: Why did we give Flash self-esteem issues with his body?

IN WHICH I HAVE THE ITIS BUT STILL WROTE
It's back!
Below are two fanfic reviews based purely on the initial impressions provided by the first chapter (or first 3k words.) For an outline of what my reviewing guidelines are, go here. Please do not request reviews!
Today’s story makes some daring choices.
Sunset Shimmer and the Last Trial of Daring Do
[Dark] [Adventure] [Alternate Universe] • 49,536 words
So, one of the major tropes of cartoons is that certain real world considerations and details get ignored in favor of whatever story is being told. One of the major things that gets ignored is how everything is getting paid for. Equestria Girls is no different. The story requires the girls to hang out at the mall and shop? They've got the money to do so. The story needs to be set on a yacht and nearly every established character needs to be there? Money's there for that too. Sunset needs a
Well, another bit of EQG media has landed, and it comes in the form of the 45-minute-or-so special “Forgotten Friendship.” Here are my thoughts, spoiler-free!
For reasons known only to themselves, Nintendo doesn't really go in for creating new characters; in the Legend of Zelda games at least, once a character's been added, we're stuck with them for the next thirty years...
Except that, when I started working on a list, this turned out not to be true. I've played too much Hyrule Warriors.
