A few things to cover as we ring in 2023:
Okay so, good news is that the cats seem to be recovering from their colds. Perhaps I overreacted a bit, but with experiences like mine it can't be considered too much of a surprise, and with how frail Reeses seems a times I especially couldn't help it. Thankfully I've managed to convince a vet trip for her sometime within the next few months, which is more than I've convinced before, so that's good. Going to have to pay for it myself though, so I might be pushing my commissions a bit more.
Considering the great feedback and reaction the the fanfic reading of The My Little Pony Ride. Decided to do another mlp fanfic reading. Hope you all enjoy! :)
For the first time in a decade, you can buy a copy of Twilight's List again! And it's got a softcover option too! And and since it's Lulu, if you aren't in North America, the shipping won't kill you! I'm celebrating!
It was the best thing ever. Seriously, this was everything that made me fall in love with MLP. The last time we had anything this great was when Discord was a villain. My mind has been blown so thoroughly that I've lost the capacity to express emotion. In my head, I'm saying this in Maud's voice. If you haven't watched it yet, go do it. Like, right now.
So it’s in fashion for authors to do a monthly review of their work. Seen a few folks do it. I think I’m going to start one of my own. It’ll help when I’m feeling discouraged about progress for my stories. In case you're working, the "Takka Takka Takka" is the sound of fingers on a keyboard. I'm 'borrowing' it from Diane Duane's Twitter Account profile pic.
If I avoid George R. R. Martin's advice and end Twilight's Secret Journal with a Deus (or Diabolus) Ex Machina, what do you supposed the best and worst case scenarios might be, from the perspective of the characters? I have an idea.
Best Case Scenario: The Meta
*DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN, DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!*
So, within the last few weeks I hit a few fantastic firsts. They're small, but hey! They're cool.
I now have over 100 followers! WOOT WOOT! Thanks peeps! I also have a fic with over 1000 views! Another big thanks! So those are the awesome things I want to celebrate. Though, I'm not exactly sure how, so here's a dancing wizard and a smiling wizard:
Below are two fanfic reviews based purely on the initial impressions provided by the first chapter (or first 3k words.) For an outline of what my reviewing guidelines are, go here. Please do not request reviews!
Before I get into the reviews proper, I just want to note: The way I’m doing these is not random--I’m clicking on the last page of my to-read list, and reviewing the stories on the bottom of each page...
Do you draw often?
Do you draw people (fictional characters included, obviously) often?
Aaaaaaaaand
Omnomnomicon, my first Pinkie Pie fic, is coming finally!
Do you need a cupcake that’s to die for suitable for gatherings? Then look no further than this devilishly decadent dark chocolate and oat cupcake with wickedly, irresistibly sweet frosting. One bite and your party will never eat anything else again.
Breaking up the chain of Dragon Twilight posts just a little here, just over a month after the last one, I have chapter 19 of Child of the Stars.
Hope you enjoy reading everyone!
Have to read the other story to see if there's anything I want to add for story reasons in semi-canonicity.
Still think my favorite part of blowing up the town of Ironhoof isn't even the scenes of general mayhem. The scene I like the most is something a little different.
When the Diamond Dogs renege on the Storm King treaty.
I'll make this brief, because I have a mountain of work to do. Including this...
I WIN PONY.
This is the pony fanfiction I own. Yes, I bought a lot of ALL of the books at the BronyCon bookstore (most of what you see here). Not pictured: Bad Horse's books which are yet to be shipped to me.
Whelp, now Lil'pip is out of the Stable and we get a damn good introduction to just how different, how alien, this world is to the one she knew. Not so much in the detail, in what we see, as much as the way it all hits her, the sensory overload, the overwhelming feeling of it all for her. Everything she goes through, probably in the space of a few minutes is pretty much what you'd expect from anyone in that situation, even the bouts of agoraphobia. IMO, the time spent detailing just how
