You heard me. My friend Silver Mint is doing writing commissions and for a good price too. You should check her out, she writes some good horse words!

Find the info here!

With Gracefully having been wrapped up, some may be wondering what's next on the story list. Truthfully, I'm not sure. The way I work is both spontaneous and meticulous; ideas come a dime a dozen, but the ones that end up working--the ones that I end up writing, I mean--tend to come infrequently.

2020 is a pretty tough year for us all; much tougher for some than others.

Brony fic author Saro0fdemonz needs rapid assistance.

Anything you can do to help—including signal boost—would be wonderful.

Announcement blog is here.

Part of the nature of Jinglemas is that it's a fic exchange, and everyone who gives a story gets one. In my case, it was from Wanderer D himself, he of the wandering Sweetie Belle and cocktail-mixing Sunset. And The Abyssinian Dream was a wonderful gift to receive. Check it out if you'd like to see the less featured Pie sisters get a moment in the spotlight.

If you're one of the fairly large number of people around here with an interest in writing original fiction as well as ponyfic, it could reward you to investigate JaPGaxie's "The Next Generation" contest. Possibly even literally, given the $350 prize fund, though given the likely calibre of the competitors I'm sure the challenge itself will be a major attraction for many. It's for short stories (3k

Ida came and went through my neck of the woods, and on a semi-related note, we have some people who could use some help: shallow15 just needs a little aid at the start of the month, but Sprocket Doggingsworth is dealing with some severe flooding. Give what you can, folks, even if that's more echoes.

Iisaw has the right idea.

Just a heads up for those who prefer finished stories. Karrakaz just put out the last chapter of his Twilestia clopfic.

It's obviously NSFW so no links, but it's there in the feature box, or you can check his story page. It's very sweet and endearing, while managing to be more than a little naughty.

And it is urgent. Ilya, who has brilliantly performed a great many of the fandom's stories, is in need of immediate surgery. Unfortunately it is quite expensive, and he has not yet paid off his previous removal of cancerous tissue. As he explains:

I have been struggling to pay small amounts of the thousands of dollars I owe.

If you're interested in writing horror stories, you'll want to check out RockstarRaccoon's Nightmare Night in April contest. They're accepting horror stories written this year even if they were written prior to the contest announcement, so even if you don't have any ideas right now, you might still be able to enter. Have fun terrorizing the neighborhood!

So Princess * Live is finally out and running. Go and hit it up if you like!

Lucky Seven has an artist friend who is hard up for commissions financially. It looks like she normally does cute-style anime genre, but she is reportedly open to doing ponies, too. You might want to check her out.

Here is Not Enough Coffee's blog post about the artist, which links to Lucky Seven's original post (NEC's has more pictures up).

Since FamousLastWords and I went to Crystal Fair this weekend, we had to have some fun on the way back to our everyday lives. You can see us being idiots in the car over at Famous' blog post!

I will post a recap later when I finally have a moment to sit down and type up my thoughts. For now enjoy these snippets of the fun we had!

I’ll try to keep this brief.
