Welp! I've finished The Prisoner of Zebra!
A guy. A guy who writes stories. Stories about ponies. (And sometimes robots).
Welp! I've finished The Prisoner of Zebra!
SO.
Every now and again, I daydream about doing the panel thing at some MlP-con or something. To coast by on my 'celebrity' as THE BEST PONY FANFIC AUTHOR IN THE WORLD (for all of like 24 hours) or something. But then I realize that would require me, y'know, going to a MlP con in the first place, not to mention having to convince who knows how many people that I'm worth listening to.
So! Finished Inoculation. On the one hand, I could've kept it going longer ... but on the other, I didn't want to use jokes that people had already made in the comments. I may whip up a short epilogue in the next couple of days to cap things off, however.
So! I hope to have the next chapter (and likely conclusion) to Inoculation up in the next day or two.
But! In the meanwhile, I've made a minor tweak to the beginning of chapter 2 that makes the story theoretically a little better structured. I suppose that's one of the advantages of fanfic 'publishing' of this sort. Especially for a writer (such as myself) who's more or less making things up as they go along (such as I'm doing).
So, uh.
I dunno about you guys, but in the last 24 hours, FiMfiction's banners have thrown ads at me for Ukrainian Mail Order Brides, and something called "Brony Mate."
I find this more than a little disturbing.
On the other hand, perhaps I should learn how to say "Hey baby, my story made the featured box" in Ukrainian. Y'know. Just in case.
At least, somebody said so. The featured box certainly seems to be showing it.
To be honest, I was pretty surprised (and more than a little enthused) to see Inoculation take off as it has. Though between other Feature-box-bait stories like An Orderly Transfer of Power and/or Twilight Sort-Of Kills Her Friends, apparently random insanity is 'in' this week. Who knew?
Because I'm being a slacker and not opening my word processor, have an article!

Hey there, pony-nerds-- is there a way to fiddle around with different fonts in the FiMfiction interface?
I've already used italics for certain characters dialogue, and bold for Princess Luna's royal speaking voice, but I'm wondering if there are any other gimmicks options I could try for various and contrived reasons to make THE GREATEST FANFIC EVAR. No, really.
Thanks!
So every so often, my sister likes to encourage me-- "Hey, are you writing stuff? You should write stuff! You're good at it!"
Alright, first off, thanks to everybody who zinged some fic reccs at me yesterday! I've poked at them a little bit, but there's still a crapload of stuff to read, so that should keep me distracted for awhile.
And, in turn, for distractions of your own, you can check out my latest story that I've just updated: The Prisoner of Zebra. The new chapter features ninjas. What's not to like about that, huh?
