Frenemies Talk, Chapter XIII: Canterlot Boutique
They thought us gone... they thought us defeated and cast into oblivion. But we have survived... and in the shadows we plotted... watching... waiting... holding our breaths... And now... it is high time we return... to take what is ours...
... wearing the glamorous Rarity's Royal Regalia! :squeal:
:bang:

This is not really a story. It's got the word count to be published here, but a lot of it is just Twilight and Sunset talking magic shop, and the whole thing is rough-hewn to say the least. Yet it's something that came into my head after watching the S5 finale, and I wanted to put it into writing, to exorcise it from my head.
If you're still interested, please give it a look.
Beloved Readers, I have a rule.
I didn't quite realize it until a few weeks ago, but I've been writing by this rule since I seriously picked up writing as a craft somewhere in the neighborhood of 2004. A rule first introduced to me by The Last Unicorn and later fully codified by Princess Mononoke for all characters, but especially for all villains and antagonists. A simple rule by design, if not always in practice.
Reader, I do not write monsters.
Let's talk about irony? You know my two most recent stories, A Hearth's Warming Gift and Of Griffins, Ponies and Taboo Subjects? Yeah, those two. The first one received more likes, and yet GPTS received more views, despite A Hearth's Warming Gift focusing on a far more popular subject, LyraBon. The thing is, with GPTS focusing on such a
Well, time for the last three reviews of the year :

. . . and we're gonna do ANYTHING but talk about it.
Thank you for understanding.
Move on now.
We Don't Talk About Captain Thunderhoof is complete, and I wanted to share some thoughts about it. If you haven't read it yet—possibly because you like to wait until after stories are finished to read them—go check it out before reading this blog, as it assumes you're already familiar with everything and is riddled with unmarked spoilers.
Oh great... We get the episode with this guy...
So like, I know some of you like writing.
How do you like the idea of submitting an anonymous story, getting it run through the grinder, and barely coming out with your ego intact?
You like it? Then do I have the place for you!
Taking a look at these two very maligned characters and trying to figure out where it all went wrong.
The last few blogs have been, in a word, hectic, for me.
A few nights ago, I've seen my grandmother get taken to hospital for the third time, fearing she'd never come home, my anxiety has been kicking my ass, my passion for writing has died out entirely with no hopes of returning, my life is still in shambles on the mental side of things and I've generally felt lost as a person, with no clue what to expect for the future. It terrifies the hell out of me.
So as you guys have likely seen, I have a new story goin' out right now. It's not exactly right to call it a story, though. Talking is Hard is meant to be an exercise so I can practice dialogue, which I've gone on record several times to say is the bane of my writing. But I'm not here to talk about that. Not quite.
I'm here to share the process I typically use when designing story covers.
Frenemies Talk, Chapter XIX: Hearthbreakers
We made it! We made it!
No, we didn't. Real life is a horrid invention.
062 Frenemies Talk: Hearthbreakers feat. JaketheGinger and Nyronus
034 Frenemies Talk: The Cutie Map
Hello there!
Any influx of pony-related stuff invokes immediate response on forums, blogs, and just about everywhere when it comes to places in which one can share their opinion. This is especially noticeable around new episodes, so it's hardly a surprise that this time I've decided to join the discussion as well. I'm not alone on this quest - here with me is Gulheru, a fellow writer and a dear friend of mine.
Frenemies Talk, Chapter IX: Princess Spike
Next episode with Spike. Enough said. Really enough...
What, you want more? What is more to say? It's Spike.
Fine, fine. Let's get to it. Perhaps alongside Luminary we might create a little conspiracy to remove this gullible reptilian from any place of power he wishes to occupy.
Spoilers below. Perhaps a hint of high treason as well.
045 Frenemies Talk: Princess Spike feat. Luminary
047 Frenemies Talk: Amending Fences feat. Nyronus
Hello everyone and welcome to the show! No more yaks - this time around we went on a trip to Canterlot so that Twilight could right the wrong. Read on as the Frenemies and Nyronus talk about her old (new) friends, serious matters tackled by the show, and that one cameo about which some people went crazy!
