Well crap, folks. This may mean you wind up with two blog posts from me today.

But Cold in Gardez just posted the expanded version of his WriteOff winner from two cycles back, "Babel". I haven't read the updated version yet, but you can bet I'll be doing it shortly. The original, though, was one of the best pieces of ponyfic I've seen, hands down. You should all be reading this ASAP—and at just over 1000 words, there's really no excuse not to.

So a weird thing happened.

I was on the Writeoff Skype chat about one or two weeks back, talking with Majin Syeekoh and someone else (Midnight Radio Hotline?), and we wound up going off onto a weird topic. You know, as Skype chats always do.

Somebody suggested the idea of writing a story: "Sweetie Bot Gets Robot Cancer". It may have been me. I'm not saying.

So, I don't do this very often. I think I've done it maybe twice in the past year, including this time. However, I feel the need to put some light onto a situation someone on here is going through.

Everything that could go wrong did so. Read all about it in his own words here.

Wanderer D got his figurative teeth kicked in by a mortgage recalculation and could use all the help he can get. See here for details and a link to the GoFundMe

This blog is just so you know Nailah is currently struggling with the lack of money. There's more info here:

If you can't donate, you can always signal-boost Nailah's blog.

A signal boost for my friend, Nailah. It'd make all the more difference if you'd read it.

So apparently Equestria daily pre-reader Noble Cause is in danger of loosing his house and becoming homeless. A friend of mine has set up a Gofundme account to help him and has asked me to help spread the word. I would have also donated, but lacking any monetary income kinda complicates that.

Please spread the word and donate if you can.

You may remember him from the comments on Silver Glow's Journal, tirelessly correcting typos (and there were a bunch of them). Or, hopefully, you know him for his own stories, 'cause he's a really good writer. And I'm still trying to goad him into writing a sequel to Asylum, although just kinda passive-aggressively by making comments like this one right here.

Hey folks. I came upon this in my feed. Shrinky is a wonderful author I personally have followed since joining the fandom. Apparently he's hit on a major snag in his life. Even well wishes commented on his blog would be welcome, but if you can help, read on below.

If you haven't already heard, Estee's in the middle of a crisis. Any support you can offer, moral or otherwise, will be appreciated.

Apparently, today is Fanfic Writers' Appreciation Day. Lurks-no-More's blog here has some excellent ways to celebrate. (Seriously, guys, seeing numbers go up has nothing on actual feedback.)

A fellow Fimfiction user and their family is in dire need of donations due to COVID-19.
Let’s show we are there for them by either doing signal boosts or donating to them.

PiquoPie has a new fic out that implements an interesting/clever storytelling mechanic that I've not personally seen anyone else use. If you have a few minutes, drop by and check it out.

Super Biscuit and I have just collaborated on the greatest shipfic evar!!!!1!!

It's, like, what happens when you're tired and drunk and your plot is generated using Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder but awesomer.

So, you should totally check it out. And if your seeing double, you ought to see a doctor.

Do you like reading Fimfiction blog posts in which people talk about MLP? Well, you're reading mine, so there must be a chance. That being so, give Mike Cartoon Pony's blogs a look. He's still quite new to this Pony game, being that fairly unusual creature: someone who was brought into the fandom because of the 2017 movie. His two main posts here so far are
