So... the outlining for the next arc of the story is almost done so I'm gonna start putting chapters out again.

However... Zecora appears a few times and I'm not confident in my ability to rhyme and still have believable dialogue. So I have two questions.

Is anyone willing to help me write Zecora's dialogue accurately.

Or

Are you all alright if I scrap Zecora's rhyming quirk as long as I can explain it believably?

Dear Princess Luna, forgive me for this inadequate list, but with so little experience with zebras, and with Zecora in particular, I have had to fall back on secondary sources whose accuracy I can not confirm. Thus, I present to you, this work in progress attempting to detail what I can about Zecora. Be assured the moment I am able to send a more detailed profile of the mare, I will pass them along with great haste. Until then, know that I am returning to work on the other ponies around

I didn’t really want to post this blog but I couldn’t leave it alone and I want to get out of my chest.

If you expect Zecora or any rhyming characters in any of my future MLP fanfic, I probably wouldn’t use her or them because I’m not very good with rhyming since the big part of her character is she’s rhyme a lot.

With the brief preview's revealed, it turns out Zecora has another thing in common with such ponies as Twilight, Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Starlight Glimmer, and Moondancer. And she herself dreamed of achieving the impossible while all others thought it was a hopeless dream.

This should be simple to explain: I. Am. Writing. Zecora.

UGHHHH!

This is the single most infuriating character to write - EVER! Look, Zecora, I love you and all, but damn your stupid rhyming speech thingy and that calm-little-smile-which-always-looks-smug-whenever-I-see-it-now!

The Mountain that lies within Southeast Wales, t'is named Blorenge.

I really like this zebra character. But I can't write her. I can't write rhythm speak. What's more, she is quite likely the first person you will encounter in Equestria if you spawned in the Everfree Forest. She may be your lifeline.

Can you write Zecora? And do you like her in general?

Yes, the windows are all in and life begins to even out. Got to love that! It's amazing how much furniture and other things being out of place can mess with the flow of life.
On another note... Chapter 5 of The Hungry Eyes is out and ready to read. More magic, and mystery unfolds.

The theme of season six was "Explore Equestria," and the show made good on its promise. It expanded on season five's goal of developing, and expanding exotic locations within the MLP universe. We got to see the Dragonlands, and Pony Vegas. We also got to see...wherever the heck the changelings live.

Trixie decides she has stayed in bed long enough. She’s not meant to lay about “recovering” from her “injuries”. She’s meant to be out there, doing things! Taking in the sights! Watching a show! Running headlong into enemies she thought she’d defeated back in Hyneighria…

Oh. Crumbs. Those three are back.

I'm looking for someone who can translate normal speech into Zecora's style of rhyme. I could probably do it myself, but I'm a lazy guy. But in all seriousness, I plan on featuring Zecora in the future, and I want to do her speech pattern right.

So, does anyone where I can find someone, or perhaps a group, that has a good grasp on our favorite zebra?

So, I did update one fanfic... just not the one you guys want.
Also, the original Ministry of Harmony is back online because why not?

The new chapter has been postponed until I can find someone to help me write Zecora's lines, because I'm horrible at it.

If you know anyone who is willing and able, let me know.

... and it's a collaborative fic written by Kodiologist and myself! Clocking in at four chapters and over 10,000 words, Zecoroota is the most ambitious fic I've ever a hand in. In an effort to whet your collective appetites, Here's the cover art for the story:

So, err, somepony make a fanfic out of this?

Not sure if it's worth doing a follow-up post to this. I don't think I have many Hearthstone players following me here.

I had a great idea a few hours ago, so I decided to write and see where it would go.

..... I suck at rhyming, so I'll say it in haiku.

Changelings and Queen learn
Of Nightmare Moon and Luna's
Holiday of fright.

DJ and I have
worked to bring you this story.
.... Haiku doesn't work.

Imagine that Zecora sneaks out of Equestria through a magic portal all dressed in makeup like a super fan to attend one of the biggest arena events in Azeroth and the main seven follow her.

As the Ponyville Hoofball team scored again and the crowd erupted in cheers, a certain blue stallion gave a hesitant clap as he looked around in the bleacher area for somepony. Not seeing him, he sighed and looked back to the time. It was nearly the end of the first and still no sign of him. He eased back into his seat momentarily and watched the game again.

And, of course, friendly reminder that I am currently taking commissions. I'll make a proper blog/page on that soon, but in the meantime, feel free to get in touch if you'd like me to write you some slutty, smutty horse words!
