So let's see what the group makes of these...

How do you give somepony the finger when you don't have fingers?

Anyone who's spent time around horses quickly becomes aware that the typical equine conducts much of their speech in body language. Ears rotate forward, get pressed back. Hoofs stomp. Tails flick. And if a tail is flicking while a hoof is pawing at the ground and the ears are going back? Run.

The banner ad which appears here is currently visible on FIMFic's front page, just below the Feature box.

...I have some questions.

* About this 'you' getting eaten thing. You do mean in the game, right? I'm not going to get home and find a suspiciously roaring package?

In the time since I joined the program, My Coke Rewards has offered amusement park tickets every single year. Some businesses have cut off their corporate partnerships: I used to get Universal Studios offerings, but... well, the value of points-to-ducat might have been a little too good. Others, however, have maintained. But with the current stage of the program approaching its final death (still set for June 30th), there isn't much left of anything, and those holding out for last-minute

I was briefly on the site’s Discord chat server (I know!) last night, browsing around a little and watching for ongoing updates/fallout from the recent site changes. I didn’t get to stay long and I’m still trying to figure out every last feature of the system, but I did get to see a few people talking about the best times to post new chapters. One attendee stated that the last time they put something up at a given hour, it had made the Feature Box -- but it was possible that people were just

So when we last left our heroes, they had all just died. But then they were brought back to life. And then they died again. But then their entire universe died. And came back as part of a mash-up with a million other universes. All of which proceeded to die. But that gave the company an excuse for a new set of #1 covers, so that was all right.

X’ver?
...X’ver?
Cofveve?
X’ver with Cofveve?
Or maybe...

“Alt. U X’ver?”
