Art Inspired is in trouble due to unexpected unemployment. I don't think I remembered to signal boost them previously and the GFM they set up has achieved its goal, but it never hurts to add a little.
Now, Trotcon!
...yeah I'm going to be having a rough weekend. I can't make it there Friday.
My brother bought Shadowrun for the SNES, and I now found myself semi-obsessed with its 16-bit soundtrack. I downloaded a ROM of it and started a game through an emulator on my smart phone. I'm not shelling $60 bucks for an old console... At least, not right now.
Erm, anyway. What I'm trying to get as is that I feel like (retro) cyberpunk-type music, so that's what this post is gonna comprise of. Maybe next time I'll do a fantasy-themed music post. Or something piratey. I like pirates.
This is the first-ever 2nd-person pony story I've written. It's a safe, intimate quick read that has you, the reader, take the role of someone who spends time with Pinkie Pie in her bedroom in Sugar Cube Corner. It focuses on cute intimacy (rather than the passionate kind) and making you happy while Pinkie Pie talks to you.
Okay, so I needed some story inspiration, (Not for 'WtW?' you guys gave me a ton of really good suggestions I intend to use, ) and I found these videos.

Here's the Second One:
I have written something new, spontaneously and unexpected. When I was rewatching Markiplier's infamous Let's Play of "My Little Foundation: Containment is Magic", I got inspired and had a little vision. It's less than 1,000 words and I'm not sure if it will become a full story, because I feel that the beauty of it lies in detailing that one moment and that explaining what exactly happened or telling what happens afterwards would ruin the feeling, but I wanted to share it here:

I was doing more research for my "Ponies Around the World" upload of this year and while watching a video about the place I visited, I came upon a piece of music. "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter. A comment below the video said the quote that you can find in the title. I don't know where it's from, but it moved me on such a deep level that it immediately gave me a vision.
I begin this year with a new mini project. One that I wanted to participate in for more than 2 and a half years already, ever since I saw it first, but could not find the time nor the concentration for, because life was showing its ugliest side to me.
Question: "Can you synthesize the plots and lore of all the mainline Final Fantasy games into one large story?"
Answer: "Apparently, you can. The result is something I call Final Fantasy: Aleph Null. And I'm going to need some more help making it."

Yeah, that's me, Scootaloo. I'm sure you're wondering how I got into this situation. Well, it all started with.....
Or, at least four days later..... Here's a little story snippet that jumped into my head on Thursday morning while I was still lying half asleep in bed. This happens quite often and I have a strong urge to write this one down. That's also the first time I'm just writing a story idea in a blog entry, like so many other authors do! It sounds good, but doesn't fit anywhere else, so I put it here.
If you've read the latest interview from the Royal Canterlot Library, then you already know a bit about the story I'll be talking about. But what you might not know is that before I had a FimFiction account, I liked to read stories on the site still, and was fairly familiar with a few things and locating the Good Shit. This was a bit before I started writing, and the beginnings of the
