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.

One more news item I forgot to mention last night: Tzardok has translated some of my early cards into German! You can find them here. Massive thanks and props to him.

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...

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

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.

Long ago, in the distant days of 2015, I wrote a reaction fic to "The Cutie Map" wherein Discord delivered an ultimatum to a freshly deposed Starlight: Abandon your quest for vengeance or face the consequences.

"The Cutie Re-Mark" aired. I followed through on his promise, taking Starlight to a world of true equine equality, where the only legacy ponies left were the mass-produced love batteries that powered the changeling nation of Omnifaria. And that would've been the end of it.

You may have noticed a sizable influx of stories in the past few days, including my own Heir A-pear-ent. The due date for Tumbleweed's Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo arrived, and we all agreed to post everything at roughly the same time so everyone could find out who was assigned whom together. But I didn't write this blog solely for self-promotion.

We’re doing something a little different this week. Horizon’s encouraged me to make cards out of the entries to the second Imposing Sovereigns contest, and I do plan on doing that. But first, I’m going to address the entries in the first one. Each story is linked in the appropriate card's name. See here for an easier to process list of what goes with what.

Hey all. Got a few things to go over, some more overdue than others.

So. The next issue of the comic came out literally a week after the end of the Homecoming arc. At this point, I’m starting to think they’re deliberately taunting me. Why can’t IDW meet the same professional standards of regularity as many webcomics?

But for now, we’re wrapping up the Flash Sentry Papers.

This week, we return to Trailblazer and company, and a day of seaside fun in the town of Amblerta before going a-questing to Yggdrasil.

The first two issues of the G5 IDW comics are out, and I definitely have some thoughts on them, but I’m holding off on them until more information comes to light. For now, let’s close out d20 Pony for the time being.

It’s back to the Moon this week, with shenanigans aplenty. (A shame we're just past the bit with the egg on Easter Sunday, but so it goes.)

We interrupt the current G5 rundown for something relatively quick in light of Everfree Northwest. In this case, a return to Magpiepony’s land of what-ifs (and irresponsibly time-traveling royal sisters) for the last two princesses who could have been.

As I promised on Thursday, this week we’re beginning a deep dive into the works of fan animator Minty Root, starting with their most recent creation and bouncing around from there.

This week, we have something special, and not just because I only have a few months until I catch up with the comics. At the last Bronycon, the voice cast read a fan script, and officially, legally speaking, it couldn’t be recorded. But officially, legally speaking, this whole website shouldn’t exist…

First and primarily, there's a major collaborative writing/role-playing event in the works for Ponyville Ciderfest. See here for details. I've already signed on to provide some story snippets; it should be a lot of fun!
