That's right! Just in time for Christmas, I'd like to present the December 2019 Patreon Commission Story Poll! Just like in all of my previous months, I hold a monthly poll on Patreon where Patrons of a select tier are able to submit ideas to be included in a story poll; and in the beginning of January, the entry that wins the poll will be made into a full-fledged story to be featured on FimFiction (and possibly my FurAffinity page as

Been a while since we’ve seen one of these posts! In fact, this is only the second one.

I debated long and hard about which story to write about this weekend. It finally came down to a pair of my all time favorites and the deciding choice between them was that one of them features both my favorite pony, Princess Luna, and a bucket load of archaic language not only used, but used well.

I speak of Parlous by Carabas.

I’ve not been doing terribly well lately. Let myself just sort of fall apart, not really do… anything of value, really. I read and reviewed some stories, but I didn’t want to post them, because I wanted this to be my 1000th review… I worked on some writing, but didn’t finish it, because I let myself get stuck…

And then, today, I decided I was tired of being stuck, and read Eternal in its entirety, from start to finish, in about six hours.

imho, this story does some lovely things with music, friendship, realizations, and personal growth.

I don't often recommend stories, but if you're into the Pie sisters and/or horror, today I'd like to ask you to consider checking out two tales that are criminally low on views and votes. And it's not just because I'm partial to the sisterly duo of Limestone and Marble Pie who are featured in both of these, though I certainly am and Lord knows that doesn't hurt.

(Tagging with Love, Or Something Like It for possible horror appeal.)

Hey, everybody. I’m talking about someone else’s work today, which probably seem weird with how quiet I normally am, but I was just… very surprised at how well a Royal Guard themed story I was reading was executed. I’m glad I stuck it out, because the first chapter—while it does set the premise—almost turned me completely away. Everything after that, though?

The name H.P. Lovecraft is synonymous with thinking man's horror. He turned his greatest fears into some of mightiest works of fear and terror that have been ever set down on the page and in doing so gave birth to an entire genre of literature and placed terms such as "eldritch abomination" into usage. It is thus no small wonder that many writers on this site have attempted to copy his style through both original and derivative works of their own.

So, before I get started on today’s post, I have something to say regarding WordPress, the company that I pay to provide hosting and my site’s toolset for writing.

There is injustice in this world. There are grapevines that attract raccoons to your balcony. There are awkward social situations. There are people who steal your unused cosplay ideas. That's where Judge John Hodgman comes in. As a qualified author and minor television personality, as well as a student of fake internet law, he is qualified to judge any case submitted to his internet courtroom-- the real people's court-- and pass fake internet sentence. Choose from over seven years of

Every few months, I take a statistical snapshot of my stories in an effort to track, over time, what factors help drive traffic to them (both in the moment and in the long tail). I noticed something interesting while compiling this round's stats.

This is not something I have done in a while, but I'll be happy to do so because I CAN. Anyway, here are some fic promotions!

Here's a story I pre-read, that I'd like to recommend: The Batpony Conundrum. If you like batponies, or random slice-of-life stories, give it a read. It's less than 2000 words, so won't take up much of your precious time.

Rainbow "Blank" Dash by DewSquiShee

Go read it. It's only short.

If you like it, follow Dewy, and beg her in the comments section to finish writing chapter two. (She's already started it.)

I’ve decided to share my list of fics that I plan to re-read with you all, yay!

With the Pony Per Book Series, I probably won't do as much as I did before since I have been hammering out my main stories as much as I can because I know that there are people out there who wanted to read my other books. Pony Per Book will most likely be an optional thing now, something rare. But tell me what you all think. Should I keep posting Pony Per Book regularly or should I do whatever I need to with this series? I'll be taking a very short break so if I could have some preferences or
