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

A bit of background: Last year, Wizards put out a six-card Horse cycle (that is, one horse card in every color, along with a colorless artifact.) Naturally, I came up with silly little flashfics to go along with each.

Core Set 2019* previews are in full swing, and today we got a cycle of cards relevant to my interests in several respects. So relevant that I started coming up with little story moments for each of them, hence the Story Shuffle tag. It sort of counts.

How long has this been going on? I'm pretty sure this a recent development. As the title indicates, this isn't a brag blog, this is a blog of utter incredulity. I was not expecting this in the least. I'm pleasantly surprised, but still... what?

Hello, all. You may have seen that my One-Shotober compilation, Story Shuffle, has gone live. You may have also seen that the first story is set at Canterlot High. For those of you who despise everything Equestria Girls, rest assured that few of the stories will take place in that particular universe. I have plans for just about everywhere, including a few places outside of Equestria. I think this is going to be a fun experiment.
