While I’m no active pre-reader/editor, I have sometimes lent my services on such for Ponyfic when people asked. Last fall, one such fic was for Jarvy Jared’s Cammie. And as the crafty sod had the whole thing written before publishing a word, allowing for bi-weekly updates, now it’s all up. If this kind of story tickles your reading bone.
I had hoped, when I finally got my schedule cleared up enough to do another author spotlight, that it would be fully a joyous occasion. Sadly, this is not the case, for today’s featured author, Ninjadeadbeard, was taken from us by cancer on December 19th last year.
I had hoped it would be ages before I did another Author Spotlight on an author who had passed away (with the exception of Darth Link 22, who left us a little over a year ago, and is on the queue). Life is cruel, unfortunately, and so this spot in the queue is a spotlight on the fics of Level Dasher, who, despite a hospital surgery to remove a tumour, had cancer spread uncontrollably, finally taking him 15 days ago.
As reported by Equestria Daily, Gillian Berrow recently disclosed at Ponycon Holland that one contributor to the minimal direct generational crossover in G5 is that Discovery Family still partially owns show content rights to G4. Worth remembering that Hasbro only partially owns FiM’s base tv channel – the rest formerly belonged to Discovery and now Warner Bros. Discovery after the 2022 merger.
Well, that was a pleasant weekend. Picked up one of those “loss of appetite” illnesses during the week, and it peaked on Saturday. Nothing more pleasant than being perpetually hungry all day while only about to chow down small quantities of simple, plain food.
…Well, thanks to the first botch I’ve had from Ryanair in donkey’s years (despite their reputation, they are very reliable for short European flights), one that forced a different plane to be used three hours and twenty-five minutes later, I arrived home just late enough from UK PonyCon to miss Monday Musings going up on Monday. 
Least by British time – it’s still on time for the Americans in the crowd! 
In what is an actual first for this series (just before hitting three digits too!), I am not here to post this week’s blog. However, thanks to the magic of tab synchronisation and Google Docs, Fimfiction’s lack of an upload scheduler altogether and a New Blog button on the mobile layout is no issue. Huzzah for careful planning!
November means one core thing for me, least as Fimfiction is concerned – Jinglemas is open again for signups! Okay, really, it’s more of a December thing, as you don’t get your characters to write to until November 25th. But it’s in the air, and while the random nature of what you might get to write makes it not for everyone (they do group relevant gens and characters together, though), it remains worth consideration.
I should have touched on it last week, but Make Your Mark officially ended on November 23rd*. I could have addressed this with my usual “the show ended on exactly the whimper we all expected” sentiment. But instead, I figured, why not celebrate it, for what it’s worth? And after my love of animation, I am a gamer. So, I took the opposite direction, and played some MLP. Scratch that, it wasn’t played, it was streamed.
In Monday Musings’ early days, if I was lacking in a suitable blurb opener, I would often reach for whatever I’d been watching or playing lately. I kind of retired that after a while, mostly because they tended to not be what my regular readers are interested in, and largely only elicited shrugs of the “I don’t care for it” variety. Well, this time, it’s too dear to me to hesitate: on Friday, I saw the musical adaption of my favourite Disney Animation film, Aladdin.
Another weird one for the pile: with the weekend just gone being May 4th (or May the 4th be With You ) Disney saw fit to re-release The Phantom Menace in cinemas for one week for the film’s 25th anniversary (only two weeks off). It almost slipped my mind until today, hence Monday Musings being a few hours later (advantage of a Bank Holiday, peeps – a free day! 
).
It’s 2024, according to the calendar. Some other folks will have a much better opener to the year in their first blogs, something I typically struggle with, but given today is New Year’s Day, I suppose I should say something too, no?
Kelly Sheriden is nothing if not a method actor. Bereft of a TV-Y rating, Starlight (least, in Season Five) would totally make a cutthroat gesture. And get applause for it.
Ha! Told you AJ would get worn down over the weekend and relent to giving me a ride.
I'm gonna need a smaller lanyard…
