Lightning Dust nudged the shopkeeper on the withers. "Pally, I'm looking for this guy called Blueblood, you seen him? Blonde, kinda wimpy, talks prissy? He looks like you asked an eight-year old to draw a hairdresser."
Blueblood caught the mother's eye. "Terribly sorry to bother you, I wondered if you'd seen a friend of mine. She's a teal pegasus by the name of Lightning Dust. Short and very angry, her face looks a little bit like a political cartoon."
Well, Halloween is nearly upon us. A time for spine-tingling thrills.
To help get in the mood, I invite anyone who follows me and others to partake in three of my best written Halloween-themed stories.
Up at bat first, when Rainbow Dash mysteriously disappears, Sunset and the Rainbooms investigate to see if Fluttershy has a secret murderous side in "Always the Quiet Ones".

Did you know that I have a history of being depressed on my birthday?
I doubt I’m alone in this. For me, a lot of it has to do with my age, my financial status and other aspects of my life. I tend to get a little depressed around Sunny and Primary (my two daughters)’s birthdays, too. I feel like I’m losing time, that I should have done more in the last year, that I should be present for more things.
I ain't mature, I ain't smart, I ain't as humorous as younger me, I ain't a wise man, and I certainly ain't a good vocalist. However, I do my best and try what I can, even if I enter a period of very low self-loathing afterwards at the results that ensue.

Mice (E.H.'s nickname for young writers): "That isn't the way they teach you to write in college."
Y.C.: "I don't know about that. I never went to college. If any sonofabitch could write he wouldn't have to teach writing in college."
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!
This episode is dedicated to the late Prince. This is what it sounds like when doves cry...
I'll admit I MIGHT have clicked on the video for...other reasons...besides her cosplaying Quiet, but still it's a good cosplay.
People Like My Stories, Exhibit A:
So, first, sorry that this isn't about writing. I know that many here wait for updates on my stories and some recent events make it increasingly difficult to get back into a proper writing schedule, but these updates will come as I am slowly getting things back in order. For now, I need to speak about a few things and say a few things that are important for me to say and, frankly, have always been important to say.
I had meant to write a blog post that tortuously wound around to the tagged story, but while I was typing, I got a PM:
Got to 3400 words for next chapter. Would have written more if my night didn't turn into a mess.

(it’s just a link to the blog it’s in but it’s a ~50 minute video)
The graphics rotating around the image are Gallifreyan from Doctor Who. There's an awesome 'site that has a Gallifreyan language translator. You type in what you want it to say and it spits it out in this beautiful, circular language. I threw it into Photoshop behind the image and animated the rotation.
I know my existence on the site has been sporadic as fuck lately. For months I've been in lurk mode more than anything else, and this has been applying to a lot of my usual discord friend groups as well. I just wanted to let y'all know that I am (obviously) alive and that I haven't retired or quit my writing. However, a lot has gone on in my life and it is to blame for why all seems rather quiet on Ice Star's front. I'm not going to quit writing and I'd be glued to my keyboard (or at least the
