I rather like Rainbow Dash Presents. Usually, it's riffing off of fanfiction and parodying it, even the author's own. One effect is that it takes some of the worst and most distressing fics of the fandom and turns them into something funny. It helps that the Rainbow Dash who narrates these isn't too bright and tends to miss the point of everything. Put it this way: I am no fan of Psychotic Pinkie, and even I like their Psychotic Pinkie.

You're not going to believe me. Nop- Nobody in their right mind could possibly believe me, but it's true. Twenty years ago today at 8:15 AM everybody on earth disappeared in an instant and were not seen again, you and me included. Minutes later, a small pocketful of people returned exactly where they disappeared in alien bodies. They had no idea what had happened other than they were the only people around where they were. Which few they encountered were total strangers. As hours and

Firstly, context:

I bring this to your attention not only because it jives with my whole schtick, but also because it got me coming up with additional verses.

"International Fanworks Day Knew She Shouldn't Have a Crush on Columbus Day"

Love is complicated.

RB_ has posted some fascinating ideas about Fimfiction as a card game. You can see the concept outline here and some example cards here. It's a delightful concept, and I naturally felt the need to highlight it.

Commissions are currently open for Bevin Brand, former Equestria Girls storyboarder and half of the incredible team behind Empathy for the Devil and its related, equally great stories.

You can probably guess why I'm bringing her up...

does anyone knows what is the longest mlp fancomic series the longest one i can know of is the mlp project comic series by metal kitty and ain't sure if it's the longest mlp fancomic series or not?

You may be familiar with Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student, one of the longest-running stories on the site. Well, one of the authors has a spinoff where the eternally frustrated (in every sense of the word) Twilight Sparkle of that setting gets transposed into other stories

I was thinking of what topic should I discuss in my first blog here. Then I thought of the fan works in this fandom and there are many of those that require voice work for the characters. Fan animations, radio drama, fan games, you name it. The voice actors assigned to provide the voices of the existing canon characters of the show had the need to at least resemble (in some cases, they do not) the voices of the characters they play. And some of the characters have multiple fan voice actors

Yesterday Archive Of Our Own celebrated International Fanworks Day 2019 and as part of it encouraged everyone to write short drabble-like stories with the theme of characters discovering new fandoms.

I also wrote a short 200-word-thing about LWA and JoJo. Nothing special. You can find it here.

This also happens to be the first thing I posted on my Ao3 account. Not sure if I should be proud of that.

Merry Jinglemas to all! The first batch of Secret Santa stories is now available for public viewing, including my gift to kairipancakes, who requested something involving Big Mac and Sugar Belle. Somehow, the rest of the former's family crystallized around them, including some rather distant relations.

Story Shuffle was one of the more fun experiments I've done with ponyfic over the years: thirty-one oneshots, each based on a random Magic card. The Oversaturated World came from its portrayals of Sonata Dusk and the human Maud and Rainbow Dash. I really should do it again some time. But that's not why I'm bringing it up now

I'm split here. On the one hand, I'm always flattered to see a reading for one of my stories. On the other...

Did it have to be the fart joke?

It's always a delight when someone reads one of my stories. All the more so when they let me know beforehand. Many thanks to Skijarama for this one.

A fellow I help proof stories for, DrakeyC, has started the undertaking of re-scripting and re-spriting (if that's not a real word, it should be!) Final Fantasy VI.

Now before you ask, yes, there's already been a fan edit in Pony Fantasy VI. This is Drakey's own take on how to incorporate FiM into this game.
