Y'all remember when I signal boosted Hang?
It wasn't a happy story, but it was a good story.
Well, I'm at it again. Or, to be more specific, AShadowOfCygnus is at it again.

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.
KuroiTsubasaTenshi is a pal of mine, and just a cool guy. If you read the credits in my own fics, you'll notice that he's helped edit nearly everything I've published.
And he got Lauren Faust to draw his OC. That right there demands your respect.
Yes indeed, here's a writing contest that looks both interesting and fun. Organised by the Poniverse group, this year's contest (3.0) is entitled Family Is Magic!!! and the challenge is to write an E/T-rated fic of no more than 30k words on the theme of "family" by 13 August. As the rules state, the theme can be interpreted pretty liberally. There are apparently Poniverse mascots, but you don't have to write about them. (It
