Like I said, go and read this story:

Read their shit!
Well... again, the title speaks for itself. But to any who want to know more, please check the full situation here:

And to any who can, please give a hand, because it is a very serious situation, to put it mildly.
My apologies for the delay on this one, but the last two days have been a hell of a week for me. I'm fine, but Skeeter the Lurker, a hoopy frood of the first water, is not. Details here; give what you can.
To... Well, "commemorate" definitely isn't the right word here. In lieu of the hundredth day of the invasion of Ukraine, Rune Soldier Dan is offering a set of commissions, all of the proceeds of which will go to a charity that gets medical supplies to parts of the world in the need.
An update on Nailah's situation. Thank you to all who check it out. You guys are the best. <3
Well. I haven't posted a non-card blog in over a month. Let's remedy that with some good news. Thought Prism, a friend and hoopy frood, is trying to build support for his new original novel. You can see the details on his blog here, including a link to the project. The more votes it gets, the more help the publisher will give him.
He's good folks and he's being hammered really hard.
If you can drop a couple bucks or boost the signal it'd help.
Signal boosting some dire circumstances for two Fimfic authors who've been burned out of house, home, and pet. Jake the Army Guy has the details here. Give what you can, folks.
In a world where negativity seems to run rampant, sometimes it's nice to sit back and harness that negativity for everyone else's enjoyment... and what better way to do this then to pick on everyone's most hated and loved Pink Alicorn princess! You may ask yourself, what's more fun then writing about princess Bitchdance being a terrible mom? Potentially winning cash for doing so!

So, I pre-read someone else's story: Supermarine_Spitfire's Flurry Time.
Supermarine_Spitfire is no stranger to me. He's one of the few people on Reddit that I talk to on an almost daily basis and is quite active on r/mylittlepony, including the fan fiction side of it (as in, he's a regular participant of the subreddit's regular Writing Snippets threads, for one).
Darf, a mainstay of Fimfiction, has fallen into a bureaucratic crack, and their living situation is currently tenuous at best. You can see the full details here and in their other recent blogs. Give what you can, folks.
The hits keep coming, and by "hits" I mean desperate cries for help.
In particular, this one's from Moonydusk, an artist who lost their father recently and now has a brother in the hospital with failing kidneys and an uncertain prognosis. This has also left paying rent uncertain, and that's where you come in if you can. There's a PayPal pool here, or you can spread the word further.
Hey, everypony, remember Rainbow Rocks? Of course you do. Remember how you were watching the big battle royale at the very end and how the Sirens did the whole ears-tails-and-wings transformation, just like our heroes did, but on top of that, they seemed to have the ability to project full-animal hippocampus-like tulpas corresponding to themselves with which to attack the heroes? Of course you do. Do you remember thinking Huh, that's a bit weird; I wonder what exactly is
I don't preread a lot of stories, but here's one I did that is worth a look: Resolution by xjuggernaughtx.
It's an interesting look at the sirens and a somewhat overlooked detail of their appearance in the second EQG movie. Give it a read, it'll be worth your time.
I usually don’t do this, because comparatively few people read my blog in the first place, so the impact of this is going to be disappointing. But there are times when you see a story well exceeding the levels of quality you see in the feature box, but still languishing in near-complete obscurity, and go “huh, maybe even the level of exposure I can provide will matter.” It’s one of those times.
If you're in the mood for something profound, and perhaps slightly disturbing, check out Hang by AShadowOfCygnus!
Novel-Idea (he's a friend who did some excellent graphic work on some of my stories), is having some trouble. I won't waste your time trying to explain, as he does so very well in his blog. If you've the means and inclination, follow the link to his blog and see
