I've started a new group whose main focus would be on the chemistry of Spike and Gabby's relationship/friendship.
Continued riffing on NicLove's story at his request. He asked for the last 50% of chapter 2, so I gave him the last 50% of the last two sentences of that chapter. I ain't reading 14k words right after I finish a midterm, dangit.
Every year since I joined FiMfiction, I've posted a new holiday special on Christmas Day. This year, I've got an early gift for my readers: a preview of the story to come! Check it out after the break!
Imma just... catch a few more of these early releases real quick. Saw someone I follow put up a thought piece they had on this, so kinda been eager to make it this far so I can finally give it a read without spoilers. Well, beyond now knowing which two characters this seem to be about.
So, let’s get on with the show!
Here they are! All of my writing advice posts in a master-index for y'all to scan through, and reordered for slightly better presentation than chronological order.

Revising a Story
This episode brings with it a great loss. For almost nine seasons, we know about Spike's legendary crush on Rarity. And now that crush is gone, because Spike's heart has found someone else than Rarity. Sparity is a thing of the past.
Hello again. This chapter very much is the reason why I wrote this story in the first place. Not only to have an adventure but to write Dinky as a kid with flaws. Too often I feel she written as perfect in other fics. I liked writing Trixie and Prince Charming for the same reason. I just wanted to tap into childhood and show the nastier aspects of that time in our lives. Dinky is caring, but also can be a bit selfish and thinks the adults in her life don't understand her and what she wants.
It's here! Do you enjoy sweet romance? Spy movies? Do you think holiday stories could use more demonic goat creatures? Well, then, submitted for your approval this Christmas/Hearth's Warming, it's...
Happy Monday, folks! And what a Monday it is. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the eldritch monstrosities from beyond the stars have been beaten back to the far side of the Moon, with everyone’s memories of their attack erased.
Good times.

Hello again. Here is another new installment of the Galaxy Rangers. This story is about Dinky learning Bon-Bon is a secret agent. Hijinks and craziness ensue. I've been wanting to do a story about Bons being a secret agent for a long time now and I thought it would be fun to write a story about Dinky wanting to be a secret agent.
Another new chapter. I am not sure where exactly this disaster movie chapter came from, but, as usual, I can't make things easy for my heroes can I? I have this weird compulsion to make things worse at random moments. Oh well, makes for interesting writing. I hope you enjoy the chapter.
This episode was obvious pandering to the fans – and that was before they put a ringed panda monster in the episode. Features of the episode include cameos by every major background pony, Derpy speaking, Doctor Whooves actually getting a personality, Steven Magnet’s long-awaited return, and ponies who are totally best friends and not lovers.
Seriously.
Really.
But I think it came at the expense of the plot.
Incoherent Plot
Chapter 3 of Secret Agent Dinky is finished. This one is mostly set up for the next chapter which I am sure you will find most interesting. I have some great news. While I was writing this chapter I also wrote a colab with several other Lunaverse writers. It about the Luna 6 giving Secret Santa gifts to each other. Each author took one of the members of the Luna 6 and wrote about how they found/bought their gift. I did Raindrops. Each chapter will be released daily until Christmas Eve. Check it
Hello again. These chapters present a huge shift in the story that allows Dinky really bring the end to Chrysalis's plan without having to throw a single punch. I thought it would be interesting that, though she's been interested in becoming stronger and being a secret agent, it's her kindness and friendship that gives her the real key to victory. She's growing up and learning what's she's good at. I didn't want to just have a story about Dinky but have her grow a little as a person too. I hope
