Y’all probably saw this one in the feature box, but it’s my duty to signal boost it anyway.

It’s about building a wall, and if the roles were reversed, it’d be a shoo-in for the Not-A-Contest. Good thing that Level Dasher was clever enough to create the group with a ‘nearly a not-a-contest fic’ folder.

It took me a while to realize that Nailah was requesting help to pay for an emergency trip to see a dying grandmother, because they're subtle about asking for help for avoidance of imposing on others.

Been quite a few of these lately, but our community cares.

Copied from Coyote de la Mancha:

Amber Spark could use some help.

PhycoKrusk's dog still needs help.

And Rune Soldier Dan is doing minific commissions for Ukraine!

In case you didn't already see it, at around midnight I published a short story as an entry into the First FimFiction Feghoot Festival competition being hosted by Super Trampoline.

I don't thing it's going to come anywhere close to winning, and the only comment on it as of right now told me to "GET OFF THE STAGE!", but hey! You never know!

Steel Resolve is a nice guy who has been through some recent hardships including trying to get his wife on disability. He could use a little help if possible (link in previous sentence), even if small.

Sock Puppet's at it again, giving us another entry into my Not-A-Contest . . . and giving ponies another shot at driving Formula 1 cars. Before too long the whole F1 field will be ponies (or pony adjunct), and I for one would embrace that.

One of my mates and fellow Sunlight fanatic JWolfSilver is raising money to go to the last Bronycon. This would, I believe, be her first ponycon, and this is the last Bronycon. Unfortunately, she has very little capital. Fortunately, GoFundMe exists. So, if you're a fan of her, want to meet her, want to see me get into a knife fight with her in Quills and

Y’all interested in a hard sci-fi story with a language barrier? Chicago Ted’s got you covered!

"And we are absolutely certain that's a settlement? That Rhysling already has Indigenous populations?"

"Yes, Commander. There is no doubt. An engineer can fix the probe, but he would not know how to talk to them."

"Alright. Forget the engineer, then. Get me the linguist."

Filly Misty chases a bunnycorn. Ponies walk up glowing paths into a tree. A mysterious market inside a distorted spacetime. A door leads to the Land of the Dragons. Magic has indeed returned to Equestria.

On a topic close to my heart, Pennington Inkwell has suffered a traumatic event and tragedy that is best read in his own words.

Consider sending him a little something, even just a kind word.

I'm not dead, just surviving the pandemic like all of us are right now.

Anyways, MrNumbers of exceptional writing fame could really use a hand right now. Dental stuff sucks, especially when it's deemed a luxury (contrary to reality)

Like the title says
Skeeters a great guy and let's be real, asking for help is fucking hard. If you can pitch in or even boost the signal it'd mean a lot.

So there is a group which periodically runs write-off competitions. They are short things, but often feature a lot of fairly solid writers writing new stories under fairly tight time constraints. This time, the theme was "History Repeats", and I felt one story in particular, The 18th Brewmare of Bluey Napoleon, deserved some recognition for being

Geez, 2017 snuck by me, and the fact I haven't posted a story here in months is starting to bother me like a bad itch. Oh, there have been attempts, but the stories haven't really manifested as well as I would have hoped after the writing process began. That and work and real life just being as busy as they are... still, c'est la vie.
