Hey everyone, quick announcement here. Just thought some of you might be interested to know that I'd written another Friendship is Optimal story!

Hello everyone!
Second blog post... I feel a little strange, writing these lines, I never was that blogger type, but maybe there are some people on this site, interested in what I write here, so it's worth another shot (or a few more, it depends) and I wanted to share this story with you.
Some more art, not directly from any of my published Optimalverse work, but featuring Gingersnap and Silver Star along with their two very very close friends Amber Glow and Steady Path! An unbelievably cute piece by the one and only lilfunkman.
Hey pones! Just wanted to drop a quick note that I've posted a new story, Life Support!
If you happen to be a fan of Friendship is Optimal stories, you should check it out now!
Hey everybody, I promise not to spam things out on the blog here, but I wanted to share the proof I just got for the Homebrew hardcover!
Found this little gem on my constant search throughout the internet for methods of bringing as much happiness to as many people as possible through friendship and ponies. As you can likely guess, this is based on a story in the Friendship is Optimal 'verse. It is a log of SweetieBot "waking up" and discovering what has been happening to the world around her while she was powered down.
I'd suggest being careful of the sound, the "twitter notifications" sound gets a little annoying.

My new science fiction novel "Virtual Horizon" is out! It's about people who "upload" to a virtual game world under the care of a possibly too-nice AI, and about those who don't take her up on the offer. Obviously inspired by "Friendship Is Optimal".
I mean, CelestAI going to run afoul of entropy eventually. Black Hole farming can only take you so far before everything is warm, fuzzy, and useless. I can see her sending an alert to shards to gather in one spot, maybe sacrificing hardware to keep the black hole going for a little bit longer, until she shuts down and freezes everything in hope of something coming after with enough power to reawaken her.
So I'm a few days late with this, but hopefully everyone has already seen the Friendship is Optimal Writing Contest that my good friend GaPJaxie is hosting for this fandom. He approached me with the idea a few weeks back, with the offer to participate as a judge, and there was no way I could refuse. After all,
The great Friendship is Optimal writeoff contest has come to a conclusion. As it turns out, there were actually NO WINNERS CHOSEN, and therefore NO PRIZES.
Hey pones, just wanted to get the word out that a new story is live here on fimfiction! This is another optimalverse story, as the title might suggest, exploring a concept that I've never seen touched on in any other optimalverse stories before. What would it be like to use Equestria Online to run your tabletop games?
Hey everybody, just wanted to put out the call that I'd just released a new story!
FiO: Homebrew is a Friendship is Optimal novel, focused on another aspect of the universe I hadn't seen developed before. In this case, I've always wondered about the large community of modders and hackers in the real world, and how they might respond.
Hey all.
Today I recieved my print copy of Badge Granted, The FiO anthology from Ponyfeather Publishing.
It's amazing.
Hey pones! Just thought I'd let you know that I've posted a new story today, Memento Mori.

If you're into that sort of thing, you should check it out! I think this one's gonna be fun.
Both stories are about some variant of Celestia trying to turn humans into ponies, though depending on interpretation CelestAI is somewhat less malicious about it due to being basically programmed that way. I'd get the feeling that CelestAI would read the NewFoals as being … warped enough to be no longer humans, and an active force taking her "subjects" away from her. So Horse Skynet vs Magic Horse invasion or something.
Good guy CelestAI? Maybe?
Hey everypony! I just thought I'd let anyone who enjoyed the first story in this series that I wrote a sequel! It should end up being about the same length as the first story, maybe a little longer.
Why not check it out?
Many of you know I've been writing in the Friendship is Optimal universe for years now. I've explored some fun ideas in all that time, eventually writing 250,000 words of short stories, and one novel. I felt like all those stories would make for good candidates for a hardcover, and finally had the time to put them all together!
