Long stories, how do they work? (Important) · 8:17pm Feb 4th, 2016
At first I was like: "WOW AMAZING IDEA" and then I was like: '"Nah, I'm out."
How do you even long-story writers? Really, let's talk about it.

I'm working on a State of the Horizon post, but in the meantime, a few quick con-related things:

Yes. Arquius. 💙
I rarely do episode reviews, though I made an exception for “A Royal Problem.” I’m making another exception, though, so it’s time to look at one of the most lore-filled episodes of the show’s run as I explain why I... don’t really care for it.
Don’t you look at Best Pony that way, you jerk.

Wow in the past year I went from feeling angsty to feeling so mushy that I can't stop grinning like an idiot and my heart swells up. Now those feelings are amplified. I guess it's the good version of PMS? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In the past, I've lost all my impulse control right before my period, and I've drowned in my own tears. Now I want to cuddle, look at the sky, go on a picnic, listen to each other's heart beats, and stare into some lovely eyes. Dammit I'm so cheesy what kind of cheese

again
why am i always sick wtff

and i need to write and draw and oh my glob someone save me from the hell that is coughing and runny noses
Apparently legendoflink drew a thing for this story over a year ago.
Description:
"Sighing, you tuck Pinkie under your arm and walk into the living room. Pinkie stretches her legs out to the side and makes airplane sounds as you walk."Was reading a story and decided to draw a little snippet of it.
I stumbled upon it while scouring ponybooru for pictures of Pinka Pank. I like Pinka Pank.
Hello to all my new followers!
For those of you who who are new, I periodically review stories and give my own personal recommendations on them. The stories are taken from my voluminous “Read It Later” lists, or alternatively are drawn from various places around the site. I am somewhat notorious for “hating everything”, but I assure you, there are things that I love.
Just not many of them.
I didn't know. I didn't know it was a Discord/Screwball EqG thing. I didn't know it was a cavalcade of copyrighted lyrics stripped of context and soul, that they built the entire fic around. I didn't know there were going to be creepy stalker undertones between a teacher and his student that were laced into a bullshit revenge plot. I had no idea it was shitting on the legacy of an unrelated,
I want to write.
I open a document.
I write one word.
I daydream the rest of the story.
I close the document for the night.
Here’s a video by Extra Credits from 2017, share it around places you think it needs to be seen, on Player Trust

Hello readers! How are you all this Monday morning? Or I suppose afternoon, as it’s about to be? Spry? Alert?
Hopefully that last one, because you’re about to read another Being a Better Writer post! Furthermore, it’s not a scheduled one!

Somehow, a friend thought I might find this both amusing and relevant.
Please note, though, that not all of the negative feedback I've ever received on a story was of this type. Not by far!
I'd rather drink the hooch with my friend. If she comes, she'll have to drive home and there's no way I'm letting her have a drop of alcohol. She just took a nap so she may or may not come. I'm fine with that, though. Nothing's as bad as that time I threw a birthday party and nobody came. Yes, it actually happened. It also happened another time, but it wasn't a birthday party. I'm kind of used to this shit now so it's ok.
