For the first time in the decade+ I've been on here, I'm using a car photo for cover art that I didn't personally take.

First and primarily, there's a major collaborative writing/role-playing event in the works for Ponyville Ciderfest. See here for details. I've already signed on to provide some story snippets; it should be a lot of fun!
Hello again. I come bearing a massive announcement!
Pinkamena: Beasts of Fall is now in book form and will be sold at Ponyville Ciderfest's After Dark Vendor Hall on November 17th & 18th!

This is one of my favorites from my PVCF app stories. Most of the time when I write Dewdrop she gets overshadowed by another blue-green unicorn with a weather cutie mark. But with Snowcatcher not appearing in this story at all, my inspiration was a 'what-if?' scenario. What if Dewdrop had never befriended Snowcatcher?
I have spent the last few days, among other things, sending out PMs for a very special project, and now, I am reaching out to all of you, my dear followers.
At least the ones of you left that still read these things.
Hey guys! Been quiet for a few months, but this time it’s because I’ve been cooking up some secret fun stuff with the dozens and dozens of volunteers for Ponyville Ciderfest’s Storytelling Adventure rather than depression! I’m real excited for you all to see the stuff we’ve done, but it’s not time yet! Soon, though.
(Although if you want to be there in person, tickets are on sale![/shill])

In the interest of full disclosure, Starsong is technically G3.5. One of the Core Seven ponies (along with Toola Roola, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Sweetie Belle, Cheerilee, and Scootaloo), she's the only one of the bunch who never made an appearance in G4 (not counting some cameos in the G4 comics... as a unicorn instead of a pegasus).

My main goal with writing PVCF app stories was to include as many characters as possible, with a particular focus on G1 & G3 characters, as well as toy-only G4 characters.
This story draws inspiration from the second MLP special, Escape From Katrina, and the G1 episode Mish Mash Melee, using the setting from the second.
Full moon? This means something...

We'll see if we can make BronyCon happen two years in a row
Hello everyone.
Today I am proud to present the beginning of the Storytelling Adventure for Ponyville Ciderfest 2023; a little ditty titled, simply "Opening."
(Written by yours truly, of course. Edited by Vivid Syntax and Sonicsuns)
... as a member of the Ponyville Ciderfest Storytelling Leadership Team - but still.
Tomorrow at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST, Vivid Syntax, Fiaura, Steel, Sonicsuns, and myself will be heading onto the Barcast to discuss the special project we've been brewing for Ciderfest this year.
DATELINE: the American Midwest. An innocent man struggles to find parking in Local Biggish City, child in tow, wife waiting at home--and all feeling desperate. Back home, the fridge is empty, save for leftovers of dubious vintage; and the pantry is that curious mix of stuffed-to-the-gills yet containing absolutely nothing. To make matters worse, he is ill, and has taken to wearing one of those uncomfortable blue mask thingies for the good of his fellow man.

Another year, another entry for the Cozy Glow contest. I’ll continue supporting the contest as long as the group hosts it, but I know going in that I don’t write the kind of stories the judges are looking for. They want dark & edgy and I don’t really write anything that falls into that category.
One of their metrics is ‘how sharp are the teeth?’
It's me, and a bunch of authors new and old in our community!!
Oh, I've been so excited for this!
This has been part of the project, and we've been working tirelessly on it! Eighteen original stories from old timers like me, Vivid, Somber, Admiral Biscuit, and new blood like SmilesPerHour, JaniceTheLight, and Snowday! So many people worked so hard on this, and I am so excited for it to get in ya'll's hands.
So how has work been? Well, it's taken me two weeks to post an already-written, already-edited, already-published-in-an-exclusive-con-book story, so I think that's your answer.
But anyway, onto the story notes!
Everyone who read "Cozy Glow is Real" knows what this means.
It feels weird, thinking of it that the convention I wrote about in "Cozy Glow is Real", a story about a brony called John who has to discover that he isn't real, but a mere figment of Cozy Glow's imagination, is happening now. Surreal..... Like something has jumped out of the story and entered this plane of existence.
It's risky business, going out your door.
And here I am, doing it again!
Just finished packing, and I'm gonna catch my flight out in a few hours, and then, day after tomorrow, it's Ciderfest time, baby!
And hey, if you haven't heard, I'm gonna be a Community Guest this year![/preen]
