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.

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

Turns out one of our own is in pretty dire straights.

In short;
1) A familial cancer situation has driven them into crippling poverty
2) An eviction notice has shown up to make things worse

Right now they have enough money that they may be able to stave off eviction, but if you can, give more.

I don't know this user, but I suppose that's why a signal boost is warranted, no?

The reported problems are cancer treatment for the father and school supplies, so I would assume this is an American.

As you probably already know, ObabScribbler's YouTube channel runs the risk of being deleted. Please see the above video for more details and try and make some noise.

If you're a fan of Ray Bradbury (and if you like my writing, you either are or should be), here's something to keep an eye on: The Mid-Continent Public Library in Kansas City is sponsoring an open minifiction competition themed around Bradbury and his works. The prompt is to use at least one of a provided list of nouns (a block-breaking technique of his), and the story has to be 451 words or less. I don't think you get anything besides egoboo

This isn't necessarily pony related, but it's something that I felt like I needed to share. Recently, the Game Theorists have uploaded a video, and it's MatPat's speech at Vidcon, and if you click on the hyperlink, it'll take you to that video. I urge you to watch it, because it has an amazing message. Also, if you guys have a Twitter account, please help me get #DoItForMark trending, because that's the message the world needs.

Hey there guys! I started a new Twitter for the sole purpose of sharing the cool MLP stuff I find, and generally chatting about the show. If you have Twitter, please add me!

This post is so I don't have to go hunting around for the contest when I need rules, details, or to stalk the judges so I know what kind of stories they like. But. They're also giving money to gay charities just for entering stories so... mashes signal boost button.

A few weeks ago, I announced Thought Prism had launched a campaign to get his original novel published. Today, I'm happy to say that he cut out the middleman and has it up on Lulu. You can find it here in paperback or here as an ebook. Check it out

Bit of a good news, bad news situation, and I'll lead with the more important stuff. B_25 is currently stuck on the other side of the U.S.-Canadian border than his usual and could use some help getting back.

In happier news, the contest results are locked in, and we'll be announcing the winners soon.

Well, things seem to be looking up for our friendly neighbourhood smut writer, but he is still in need of assistance! Go forth, Ponies! Let the Elements of Generosity and Kindness guide your steps!

I won’t tell you a tragic story, but I’d so much appreciate any help! I can do ponies, Pokemon, animals, mermaids, human…oids (yeah sure I’ll do an anthro thing, but I draw the line at anthro ponies)–just try me and I’ll do my best!

This community's all about helping people and Majin "Goddamnit" Syeekoh is blackmailing me send help so I thought I'd try to send a few eyes towards this hopeful brony who could use a little help making it to the last BC.

Speaking of BronyCon, should be some book-related news on that front in the next couple days, stay tuned!

I don't know if any of you know this, but blueberrysnowfall and her husband have lost their current apartment due to the horrible irresponsibility of their soon-to-be-former roommate, and are in a major pickle.
This, A New Home For Christmas, will explain things so much better than I can.

And to all my Followers?
