it took quite some time but
they're here

I started writing this in time for Tuesday's review, but then stuff happened. Sorry for the lateness.

Oh, and go join this writing challenge group. No, really, go join. I've even joined...

*All word usage in this blog is intentional and me being silly, just in case you don't know why I use things like "romance-y."

Ever rewatch a TV series where you know a character comes back, but when he/she dies you still get all sad? And then all those characters have to go home and leave everything behind, and you just want to cry even more. But I am a manly-man, and I held back my tears. If you're wondering, I'm watching the series finale of Transformers Prime. Yes, there is a movie that comes just after it, but that doesn't make the feels any better.

So, as most of you likely know,¹ fairly recently iisaw did a rewrite of The Celestia Code prior to getting it set up with Print On Demand provider Lulu. Yes I have a copy, yes it is still awesome. So do the rewrites alter my perception of the story at all? Well, let’s see what we got.

During FoME's Imposing Sovereigns contest, iisaw and I made a bet about where his story, Waxing Gibbous, would be placed.

FoME saw fit to not tell us...

And so, iisaw came up with the idea of a sort of bingo. First to get 5 in a row, or closest to 5, wins the game. This blog will be monitoring my progress on said bingo game.

So, as some of you may know, iisaw and I had a Season 7 bingo game running.

And that gorram iisaw won it. The loser, me, has to share three embarrassing things. Oh joy.

Iisaw has the right idea.

If you've wanted a copy of iisaw's great Alicorn series but missed out on the prints when they were available through Lulu, the Ministry of Image is considering a print run!

Head over here to respond to their survey so they know if there's enough interest to justify one!

They're like FiMfiction, only you can still read them after your laptop's battery has died, or when somebody's thrown your phone in a lake!

Y’all may have noticed that one, it was in the feature box. Technically not a not-a-contest submission, but Jetty does work for the EPA, so that ticks a box.

We all love seaponies (we do, right?) because they’re adorable.

Thought this blog series was long dead? So did I!

Overall, my passion for this fandom has definitely cooled over the past few years, and even my enthusiasm for the endless possibilities of fanfiction has ebbed. Over this past year or so, I even started picking up real, non-pony books again (and finishing them!) in situations where I'd traditionally be reading a fanfic on my phone instead.

So, it turns out that Sunday was a really good day for new stories. I read five new stories, and I liked them all.

How did this happen?

How is this even possible?

Who knows.

But I’m liking it.
