Okay - so I was goaded (i.e. volunteered) to do another ship fic as part of a contest · 4:39pm Jul 1st, 2016
Yup. I'm a sucker for a writing contests, especially if the premise is novel enough. Check out Estee's Swift Selections Contest.

I always did it with Skittles and Starburst instead.
In other news, I entered the latest Writeoff, and have been... really slacking off on getting writing done. But today is different! I've written over 3,000 words already today, and read four short stories.
I'll see you all again with actual content in about... uh, June? July?? Just based on my current pace, I mean.
Later!
HELLO EVERYPONY, I'M NOT DEAD!
I know it's been, checks notes, 71/2 MONTHS!?
I think its time for a couple updates then, huh?
First of all, IRL:
So I was start ing to write some more of chapter 8 and started thinkin' about kangaroo pouches. And ya know what guys?
TV isn't always right! Sometimes, cartoons can ACTUALLY lead you astray from how things really are.
One of these things? A kangaroo's anatomy. Particularly, that of a kangaroo's.
So when you think of a kangaroo, I imagine an image sort of like this comes into mind:

This one is going to be in a slightly different format. You see, the previous fics that I blogged about, "Back to School" and "Don't Come Close", were taken from my unpublished queue on fimfic, but this story is actually from my drive/gdocs.
I don't mean to imply that my titles were ever that creative, only that I just have no idea what to call this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bit of an amusing note on “P.P.O.V.” Given all the talk of getting ponies out of their element, I think it’s appropriate that the three had very little laughter, honesty, or generosity among them upon their return.
And on that note, let’s look at a time when Applejack was a long cry from exemplifying Honesty…
Apparently the Apple lies in the hospital.
So, how many of you saw this ahead of time and have just been waiting for my reaction?
The way my outline for What Lies Within has been going there won't be another major Duel for a while. Also the chapters keep being really long for my standards; aside from "In the Dark" but that's more of a tension-builder than anything else. Did it work as one of those? I sure hope so. I did my best. Next up as of now is... some more talking; while I work my way up to the rest of the plot stuff I have planned.
I'm close to finished. I intend to have it draft complete tonight, meaning release should follow in the next couple days, once prereaders have their say and I do my customary couple editing passes, which I do by listening to it recited back to me with the site's voice narration feature. You'd be surprised how many issues you catch and fix by doing that, from missing and misspelled words to just questions of word choice and sentence flow.
1. Fleur De Lis
2. Marble Pie
3. Diamond Tiara (after standing up to Spoiled Rich and became friends with the CMC)

8. Cloudchaser & Flitter
9. Strawberry Sunrise
10. Coco Pommel
060 New story: The Royal Daughter
Here's a list of reasons why you may want to give The Royal Daughter a read:
- a super short [Slice of Life][Sad] tale about love and lies;
- it has Princess Skyla in it, a character that's not even born yet (insert "before it was cool" joke);
I know what lies beneath Twilight's head (Nothing but air)

"Ponydom" That's all I need is another blasted Pony word in the vocabulary!!

LIFE POINTS: 8000 -----> 7800
*Sighs* Twilight is really the last person I recommend to be a teacher (Too narrow minded) Can't she realize it takes TIME to learn a new subject?! Especially due to other people's LACK of interest.

Written for the 100th Quills and Sofas speedwriting event!
I didn’t even make it in the top three, but I don’t feel bad about that. There was a lot of strong competition.
Chapter 12 is live and boy howdy is it a long one! I broke my goal of keeping it around 5K. I know I could've cut the chapter early after the first line break, but I didn't have the heart to leave on a cliffhanger after last time. For those of you who like longer chapters, I hope this makes up for nothing last week! For those of you who don't like more horsewords per week, my sanity thanks you, but also you're reading an evolving long-fic. I question your judgement.
