That Feeling When... · 3:27pm Nov 7th, 2017
That feeling when you run into somepony you recognise....
That feeling when you run into somepony you recognise....
Who wouldn't want to ask her this...
Everyone loves a little Trixie.
Great and powerful adorableness!
Hello everyone, just posting to advertise the fact that one of my friends here on Fimfic is in need of some art commission work. I can say that she's a really good artist and the work she does is well worth the cost, whatever that may be.
Here's an example of her work and here's a link to where you can find details if you're interested.
This one took a lot out of me, I kept going back and changing bits, altering segments and checking for continuity among other things.
I could agonise about it for much longer, but I decided that the only way forward is to post it. Let me know if I missed anything and, as always, constructive criticism is welcome.
I want to thank you all once more for your patience.
Enjoy the update!
I need to talk to somepony and I don't feel like I can right now so I'm just going to vomit words here in semi-public.
I already wrote a story about this, but it is becoming too relevant to bear now.
I'm writing this post because I want to tell you all about two amazing people I love: Mom and Dad.
You do your best, and try, try, try again.
TL;DR: This story had a lot of problems, so I rewrote it from scratch. It's now better in pretty much every way, but it will require any existing readers to restart from the beginning. The story includes many changes and new scenes that will leave any reader who does not do so lost. I apologize and understand if this upsets anyone who has been following the story, but I feel it to be necessary for this story to meet the standards I want it to.
Oh wait, never mind. I just found them.
Anyway, this.
The multi-part sampler is finished. Thanks to all the recruits Sigma pulled in from Rage Reviews; this was a very strong riff overall. And for those too impatient to read to the end and figure out the verdict: "A Displaced Monster" won the editor vote and will be filling our 8th-of-the-month slot. Good job, assholes, you stuck yourselves with Displaced Slenderwoman bullshit.
The doors of the Badfic Slaughterhouse have opened once more, and six stories now stand in front of the Badfic Grinder 3000™ (revision 6). Continue reading to find out which ones should go onto your reading lists and which will be thrown into the grinder for your twisted amusement.
Also, an important (to me, at least) message is waiting at the end.
In this edition of Badfic Slaughterhouse:
—Celestia OP. Nerf plz.
—An action scene is re-envisioned with creepy groping.
Today I was giving a customer a ride home, and she started talking about Kobe, and then asked if I though he was the happiest man on Earth.
I said that I didn’t know.
And by the time I’d dropped her off at her house and started on the way back, I had most of the plot of this story in place.

But that was another life.

More working on Brown Sugar's fic happened today and I'm close to be finished with the second act! And what I worked on today allows for another preview!
In this preview, we have Brown Sugar explaining a confusing word, yet one that holds a significant meaning to her. Just, what is a "hangdowner"?
Brown Sugar explains it to you below!
And what a productive (albeit stressful) October it’s been. A fair few new stories have been started up, new chapters have been posted, and new ideas have arisen. This included:
- A new chapter for Mare of the Shadows
- The first and second chapters of King of Games
We lost track of the day. Shut up.
The first shuffle's all tidily squared away. That was a hot mess.
For those of you who missed my post earlier today, Mistletrapped’s sixth chapter went up earlier today.
But Mistletrapped is not all there is to the world of ponies today. There was an episode, which I actually liked! And, of course, new stories to be read.
None of which relate to today’s episode, so maybe that was a bit misleading. Still! I’m sure at least some of them will be good, right?
Today’s stories:
Yesterday, someone linked me to a r/WritingPrompts thread on reddit with an interesting prompt that inspired me. The prompt was "It has long been believed that the Illusion school of magic is by far the weakest of the schools. You, an acolyte, begin to suspect that it is in fact the strongest school, and the elder illusionists have been going to great lengths to hide this."
TWILIGHT: "Would you look at that, Spike! Our opening screenshot shows off that most useful of animation principles - smearing! Okay, it's mostly wind, but it counts! How often do you see that in Flash?"
SPIKE: "..."
TWILIGHT: "...you don't know what smearing is, do you?"
SPIKE: "...No..."
