In lieu of much else to note this week*, I will content myself with the observation that I’m coming up on my 5^th anniversary of my induction to MLP, which occurred with the G4 film on October 31^st. Not the same as my fandom introduction, which didn’t come until January of the following year, after I’d binged the series, but it’s something.

Pokemon: Sunset's Insurgence by UnknownOrigin

All the recent Everfree Northwest blogs have reminded me that UK PonyCon is fast approaching. I’ve been all booked for months now, but with it only six weeks away, I'm starting to get excited again. Too soon? Mayhaps, but I am an easily excitable spirit, least for the right things. Last year’s edition was the rare holiday for me where I didn’t have a “home sweet home” feeling when it was over, which should tell you how much it meant to me.

It was for the best to take Author Spotlights off a set schedule. The last few in June, when they were almost done, came out far better for it, with fics chosen for that purpose and reaching a conclusion about the author’s style over the “eh, five fics that happen to be written by the same guy, why not” approach prior. Some time away reinvigorated the approach, so by that same criteria, here it returns, with Lucky Dreams.

With yet another August, and thus yet another year about to be added to my age tomorrow, it felt high time, nearly five years after creating an account here (that long? Dear lord… ), to make a key change. Being honest, this has been present at least as long as I’ve been doing Ponyfic reviews, since March 2022, and further back still in how I present myself. But now it’s official. Eagle-eyed viewers may have already spotted it…

Time’s a funny thing, innit? Today just so happens to be my birthday. And get this: in my first year of doing these Ponyfic Review Monday Musings, it coincides with my birthday being on a Monday. And thanks to the calendar-correcting oddity that is Leap Years, that won’t happen again until 2033. My first year of doing these, my birthday falls on one. What are the odds, eh? Must be a sign, me thinks. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have mentioned it were it not for that overlap.

Last batch of the stories for the Who Crossed Over My Little Pony? contest reviewed today. We’ll be back to a regular menagerie of fics from all over next week again.

First things first: happy thanksgiving to all you Americans out there! Couple days early, yes, but it’s not like I’m gonna have a blog on Thursday to say it then. May not mean to us this side of the pond, but we can appreciate spending time with family and being thankful for what we have for sure.

Okay so I came across an AI story generator, and normally I would never do anything like this with AI, since some don't like AI, also since FIMFIction doesn't allow AI Stories, and anyway, as much as I like AI, let's face it, AI can be really horrible sometimes. Let's get into this first I start with what I didn't like about it. Well first of all it wasn't really written as fanfiction, it was more like a review of fanfiction, than the story, It's full of mistakes, (I tried to fix what I could

March 1^st saw witness to a brief but strong (and unexpected, to the ire of the weather people) bout of snow. Which, if you’ve never been to Ireland, is extraordinary rare – the last notable such spell we had was six years ago in March 2018, a cold front so strong it actually shut schools and college down for several days (all your Northern Americans and Canadians are yawning at this, I’m sure ).

Chances are you’ve already heard about this year’s Jinglemas having signups open already, but if you haven’t, here’s your notice. If you’ve never done it before, I strongly encourage you to: getting a story of your chosen characters is great, but honestly, writing one for another is even better. And if you’re worried about getting characters you don’t usually use, or would rather not use, well, take it

Been a while since an Author Spotlight here, hasn’t it? Well, actually, once every three months strikes me as a reasonable duration between them – not too long that they feel like a false promise, but infrequent enough that you can be sure it’s a justified one. And that certainly applies to this author, a late joiner to Fimfic but one who’s posted very frequently since and delivered a lot of quality writing. Folks, it’s focus time for

Hello horses!

Well, Gleam or Shine did pretty well, I thought, soooo...its time for another short ahem story.

The Smaller Door has 20% more royalty!

Enjoy!
--Wishywish

(PS - Tagged Gleam or Shine to this story, so as to let folks who may have liked that tale know about this one.)

With the calendar date of July 2nd passing by yet again, this time in the year 2016 a.d., I have now been a member of Fimfiction for two years. I am convinced that clocks have wings, because time often flies faster than you realize.

I turned back towards the throne itself, now silver and white with red drapes instead of the blue ones we had. The final decorated window, right above the throne, showed all three pony races standing tall and holding their hooves in praise of the triquetra symbol I saw in the previous one, praising it as if it was Faust herself. It’s bright light was shining away darkened looking creatures that I soon recognized as the other races of the world such as griffins, changelings, and dragons.

Ok, so, idk if I can actually manage a 'per story' upload schedule, but I've set myself the goal of a chapter a week of something minimum. This includes my one story over on fanfiction https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6707624/ which is a NCIS/Kantai Collection crossover.

I actually have a pair of winter fics I've been sitting on, so those will likely be this week and next, a one-shot and the first chapter of another. After that it's whatever I can get the most inspiration to do.
