SO.
I admit it. Part of my reasoning behind The Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo was to get somebody to write fanfiction of my fanfiction, because I am terribly, terribly vain.
And it worked!

So. The next issue of the comic came out literally a week after the end of the Homecoming arc. At this point, I’m starting to think they’re deliberately taunting me. Why can’t IDW meet the same professional standards of regularity as many webcomics?
But for now, we’re wrapping up the Flash Sentry Papers.
SO.
For starters, The Prisoner of Zebra has been featured at the Royal Canterlot Library. Woo! As apparently, even (especially?) when I delve into the most obscure kinds of stuff I can think of, I am best at ponies.
Sooooo, one of my resolutions this year was to work on more original fiction, and less fanfiction.
And a little over two weeks in, we can see how THAT went! Womp womp.
No, not that one fanfic I wrote. (Though it does feature the first mention of Gnollpoleon! Running gags, people!)
Y'see, by "Get Down on Friday" I apparently mean "Go on a 3,000 word writing bender and finish that silly mystery story that all of like two dozen people will actually read."
So a little while back, I made a joke about "The Ecstasy of Golden Harvest" as the title of a story I'd never write. Which got me listening to a bunch of Morricone ... which started giving me ideas.
So I was going to write a 'regular' pony story. You know, something centered on some of the Mane 6 (Rarity, Applejack, & Twilight, most specifically) dealing with a strange problem and a bizzare creature and what have you. I even wrote up an outline in a notebook back when I was goofing around in the woods awhile back.
Aaaaaand I sat down to write it out, and ... it wasn't quite clicking. That, and I was gonna toss Zecora in, and I wasn't quite up for writing some garbled rhymes.
“Oh FoME!” you cry. “Who is BEST AT PONIES?”
Well, that’s really a matter of opinion, but I can certainly tell you who claims to be. And he has strong evidence on his side.
It's Friday night, and I've got nothing better to do, so, uh ... here's a handful of BronyCon pics!
First off, The Lines. People weren't kidding about 'em. Seriously, here's what the line to the Vendor's Hall looked like on Thursday afternoon. You'd think they were giving out free drugs in there or something.
So. Since IDW interprets “Available December 2020” as “Available one or more seconds before January 2021,” we’re going to cycle back to the Flash Sentry Papers and cover the back half of Tumbleweed’s compiled archive.
WELP. 2018's done. Let's hear it for the inexorable march of time, folks!
