So, how many of y'all know about the Sunset Shimmer shipping contest? Basically it's a contest to see who can do the best job shipping Sunset Shimmer with some other canon character. Oh and there should be some sort of theme about "Changing Seasons" but that's largely secondary.
Heya folks! Remember that time, last year, when I ran a Sunset Shipping Contest that received over 50 entries?
It was an absolute blast, we got a ton of great stories out of it, and our website was blessed with an overabundance of Sunset Shimmer.
But who’s to say we can’t do it again?
Introducing…
Sunset Shipping Contest: Journeys
I won't lie, I've been extremely nervous about this fic. This is my first real alternate universe fic. It was really tricky and fun writing this fic. In fact, I did quite a bit of research into World War I and replaying of Valkyria Chronicles to help capture everything right for this fic. Putting my college degree to use.
Depending on how y'all respond to this fic, I might explore this AU a little more with different battlefronts with the Young Six. May already be working on a few ideas.
It's not that I ever didn't like her. I mean, canon characterization is a little thin, but she's married to Shiny, so clearly she has excellent taste in stallions.
Also we have a hobby in common.
So I've been mulling over the idea of turning SOtF into a multiple-arc story type deal for a while now, and I've decided I'm not going to do that. While I absolutely adore Tree Hugger and Starlight Glimmer together (OTP!), I don't think I could extend this story and have it keep the same feeling to it.
The lovable, if rather clumsily Ditzy Doo finally has one accident to many on the job and gets fired from her position in Cloudsdale’s premier delivery company. Desperate for work she applies for a job at this new ‘shipping’ company in Ponyville. Only after signing the contract does she realize it wasn’t the type of shipping she expected.
I SHIPP IT!!!!!!
I SHIPP IT SO HARD!!!!!
I SHIPP IT LIKE FEDEX UPS AND AMAZON.
Yeeeeeeaaaaaah... its a possibility my friends... this could happen, a lot... All I need... is your opinions on the matter of this particular idea I have tossing around in my head!
So what do you guys think?!
Do you rate it which is Hecka yeah!.
Or which is maybe.
or which is fuck naw.
Always thought these two looked cute together.
This is it, folks, final weekend to get your stories in. I hope you made good use of the extra time, because there won't be any more after this.
I'm really excited to finally start reading all these wonderful stories, and so are the rest of the judges.
One thing I never understood is why whenever a show has a pairing, fans go ballistic and claim it ruined their ships. For example, in the episode, "Hard to Say Anything", Big Macintosh started dating Sugar Belle, and many fans who shipped him with Miss Cheerilee or other characters were not happy. In the recent episode "The Maud Couple", Maud Pie now has a boyfriend named Mudbriar. Fans are going nuts, claiming their fanfics shipping Maud with Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, or other characters, are
With art this good?! HOW CAN I NOT?!
Finally a little love and attention!
And Would you look at that? I just so happen to have something sexy to wear. ;D
55 contest entries.
Y'all are crazy. I love/hate all of you.
If you had a submission waiting in the mod queue, or you were a tad late on submitting it yo the group, let me know, and I'll get it taken care of, as long as the story was on fimfic prior to the deadline.
We'll do our best to judge this mountain of stories you've so generously heaped upon us.
No, you didn't read that wrong. Yes, I have a new Sunlight story out right now! Only it's not just my story. I'm co-author with my awesome friend allykitty for the new story, Comparing Notes!
Who here remembers the shipping FluffyMuffin?
Sorry, not sorry, Sammy!!
Review: Dense as Diamonds
You know Diamonds are not really the dense. With their density being of 3.51 gm/cm3 that is a far cry form the densest element Osmium and Erina at 22.59 g/cm3.
Hey! I’m only marginally more dense than diamond!
So you’re as dense as gold at 19.3 g/cm3.
Well you’re just a filthy Hanzo main! How’s that!
That is not as bad as you who mains Mei.
Yep it's my favorite ship by far, but it's become a problem in my drafts because at least 90% of them have Twilestia in them heck even my Pokemon/MLP has Twilestia, it's everywhere.
I have to face it i love Twilestia
FlutterMac is my new obsession! How did this happen??? NOOOOOO!
That MLP Gameloft game isn't being very subtle about ships, isn't it?
"It isn't ours to speculate on Fluttershy's future, but a life of caring critters and charming chaos seems likely."
"It isn't ours to speculate on Applejack's future, but a booming business and a loving, loyal relationship seem likely."
"It isn't ours to speculate on Rainbow Dash's future, but a captain's bars and a good, honest life seem likely."
