The Book of (Possible) Prophecies foretells the story of a legendary minotaur being freed from his imprisonment so that he can punch another legendary minotaur in the face. On the far southwest corner, edges from being out of reach of the Equestrian border, there is a forest known only to the few who have heard about it (and obviously the inhabitants that live in it) as The Inconclusive Forest. This is the resting place of our hero Bobby the Brave and his Flaming Axe of Awesome™.

Strange Clover, a hip young mare fresh out of college, will have to quit her amazing job when Alias, Goddess of Doubt (and Oracle of [Possible] Prophecies), tells her that she's the one destined to free him. It will be an easygoing journey from here on out! (It won't.)

Featured on EqD! Is that still relevant?

A very special thanks to Curify for being my editor. He makes this story legible.

Dedicated to Obselescence :'(
He's not dead, he's just too gay to be on a pony website.

As an editor to a contender in the SlamJam, I feel compelled to read this. Also, the silliness of that synopsis is click worthy on its own.

Thanks! Didn't expect a response from anyone in the Slamjam as I haven't had time to share it in the group yet. :twilightsheepish:

I will lick your pups clean.

Site contest held by Obselecence that had you create a character and write about it along with characters by other authors. That was three years ago.

I mentioned it in the Author's Notes in the next chapter, which I took down for editing.

What a bizarre story, and I mean that in the nicest way. You certainly have me intrigued. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this, and how we get from here to ancient, legendary minotaurs punching the cowpies out of each other.

Very much appreciated to see your comment! This is a huge passion project, and the chapters are a bit difficult to write. I always looks forward to reading comments, it tells me what people think about my work.:twilightsmile:

My god, he actually did it. He posted another chapter.
What next? A new story? Chocolate rain? Time travel?
What a time to be alive.

I feel like I just had myself a drink of Amnesia Fire; I'm getting a distinct sense of déjà vu from seeing this chapter...

It's a rewrite. Original draft had some blaring issues.

my roommate thinks she was banished into the future by Starswirl the Fucking Bearded―as if that’s a lame-ass excuse as to why she can’t pay her half of the damn bills! Why can’t he be here!”

I mean, that is an option...

Heck, that seems like a story in and of itself: Star Swirl finding himself at a support group for those he banished to this time.

In any case, speaking as someone who paid no attention to the Slam-Jam, you did an excellent job of capturing the essence of Loosestrife, to say nothing of all the other surreality on display. Looking forward to more.

Awright... The mythology folders are taking off. Thanks.

Difficult to process at times—a number of words don't mean what you think they do—but still some incredible scenes, both in the sheer scale of Nowhere and the clash of gods. Looking forward to getting some context.

Thanks! Yeah, it's been difficult getting the chapter out. :twilightsheepish: During the time I took away from the story I got rusty. What errors caught your attention most, by the way? I can go ahead and fix them so it's easier for consumption.

This chapter really makes you feel like OddLuck.
8/10, it has a little something for everyone.

Get out of bed you fucking virgin.

Okay, the puns for this are fuckin' great, as is the promise of more species coming into play. However, the way you render Odd Luck's name bothers me. Go chuggony some proper spacing.

Fruit Punch Salad sounds spectacular. Also, why no minotaur tag, my guy? You know they have that now?

The general shenanigans of this devolving to insanity is some good stuff, though I'm wondering when the character of Odd Shot will come in.

Okay, shit's getting pretty mythical. I can dig that.
