Y'know how I sometimes pull a longer, more serious chapter out of nowhere?

What if I make a Patreon tier/add to a patreon tier a benefit so that y'all can request one such chapter per month? Same rules apply as the regular What If chapter request stuffs, except that maybe the most upvoted comments are put into an elimination tournament to leave only The One True Chapter™ to rule the month. maybe I'll throw in "scribble out a drawing of the scenario too" while I'm at it idk

... as a member of the Ponyville Ciderfest Storytelling Leadership Team - but still.

Tomorrow at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST, Vivid Syntax, Fiaura, Steel, Sonicsuns, and myself will be heading onto the Barcast to discuss the special project we've been brewing for Ciderfest this year.

I wrote a new story.

It isn't much, and it's more just an expansion of a What If chapter that I've added some more lore and detail to.

But it's at least a semblance of what I had planned for Christmas.

As always, thank you for reading.

Grading Scale:

A (fantastic episode)
A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw)
B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws)
B (a good episode which still could have been better)

It only just now occurred to me that I never did one of these for this story. I don’t know why.

This story was written simply and came from a simple place.

I’m pretty sure anyone who reads my blogs knows that I’ve joined Quills and Sofas Speedwriting. I was talking with The Red Parade in the Discord when he mentioned a possible prompt for the Pillars Shipping Contest that was too good to pass up.

Thanks to the work of Flash Frame, you now have a list to go by. Introducing:

By this you will know who may be a target, who may be safe and who you may never see again. She's spent a long, painstaking time to get this together, but I'll let her tell you about it:

A note from the desk of Flash Frame.

Spoilers in your shoes. So funny. Much laughs.

No, seriously. Not that funny an episode. This is because, like Twilight, we're left out of the loop.

Heh. Pony in space is awesome.

I'm so making Obabscribbler's OC and a bunch of other pegasister's OC's do this. Hee hee hee!

InkRose98

Look at her 'Awesome Stuff People Have Made For Me!' section and see if you notice a picture with a certain anthro white pegasus in it surrounded by four other well-known OC mares...

Also, InkRose98 sent me a comment a while ago saying that she would totally do it with Unique. How's that for a response?

Rotorix's avatar may be awesome, but it looks like my dude is the sexiest. Hi Ho!

"Please, just give yourself up!"
"Why are you doing this? What the hell's going on?"
"We don't have a choice - believe me, if we did, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
"Look, Ari, I can help! I just need to--"
"Sunny, believe me...we were damned a long time ago."

One, I'm putting Second Contact on hiatus for a while. I just need a break from brainstorming and trying to figure out how I'm going to write myself out of the corner I managed to write myself into in the first place. I don't need that kind of headache right now.

Ah, Valentine's Day. A day for spending lovey-dovey time with the love of your life... or, if you're like me, staring at a laptop screen wondering where it all went wrong.

Anyway, in the spirit of Valentine's Day, it's time I asked you all a question. A question that has been in this fandom for nearly half a decade.

Gay horse?

Or lesbian horse?

Now, I like The Clone Wars TV series, and I'm still griping about how shitty Disney was when they cancelled it, but I do like Revenge of the Sith, because Anakin goes full maniac later on in the movie, and the dumb love story, eh.

Although, sometimes I do wonder how different the prequel movies would've been if George didn't surround himself with Yes Men, eh.

About one year ago, I had the exceptionally bright idea of taking a random sample of all stories published to Fimfiction at the time and attempt to find something significant to say about them. Whether by suggesting what genres get the most views, or what sells the most, or what stories this fandom was lacking. Come to think of it, I'm really not sure why I chose to begin such an endeavor in the first place. Probably because I thought it was fun (for a given definition of "fun").

I know there's going to be a point at work where after quick pace manual labor I'll just be sitting around for a bit waiting.

Wonder how hard it would be to write a Cardboard Box chapter on a phone?

So I promised to be finished with the One Shot by the end of November.
By now I've delayed the posting of this story several times over a span of a few months with honestly little progress or any idea of what the hell I was doing.
I give up.
At this point, anyone who could have possibly been interested is bored and tired of my delays now, I don't like the way the story is turning out, and I just don't really have any drive to continue writing.
