As mentioned, I won't identify the winner in case they're one of my readers who likes to keep Smoke a secret, but the winner was picked at random (on a list of 14 entrants, the eighth was picked by a 1-14 roll on random.org) and has been notified.

Thanks to everyone who entered. A couple of the PMs in particular were really nice, and I appreciate that people put some time into them beyond just "My favorite part is the bit where the thing happened."

(Edit: a few people have followed me before sending me an entry PM. You're welcome to! I'm not saying don't! But know that it's not necessary to be entered for my giveaway.)

My toe hurts. I clipped the nail wrong and tugged the remaining bit loose, causing it to bleed.

No one cares about that, though. The part that's relevant to anyone is this:

I guess I earned this. After ten minutes of listening, Day handed me this notebook and told me to shoo. Not just like that. That mare can be as tactful as they come when she wants to. “Pirouette, I’m happy to listen, but sort out your thoughts first.” Something like that. I haven’t kept a diary since I was a filly. And mine had ribbons on it. Where are my ribbons, Day?

Well, the ones in the USA anyway. Happy Thursday to to the rest of you. No turkey or anything for me. Family is too far, and I don't like cooking (or their company, really). I'll probably snag a burger from a gas station, grumble about their lack of fries, and and come home to start on a new chapter.

May you guys enjoy slightly better cuisine, at least.

...freaking lack of a mind controlled professional chef. Done Deal doesn't have these proble--oh, shit, the mic's still on!

The next chapter is finished and ready to go; I'm just holding off because sufficient bribes have not yet been received I hate being featured, and posting when the site is busier means more popular stories flood me off the front page quickly. I hope people enjoy this one. Some of you have complained that Pirouette is a nag. Some of you have wished to get to know her better. In a few hours, you'll see the Pirouette in my head, Done's best friend--the one that space constraints and her

The next chapter is off to Fable for editing. Hooray, chapter! It's got no mind control! Boo, DG sucks!

Sorry. The chapter was going to be the tail end of Ladies' Night, but holy crap did that ever not need to be any longer. It's short, since it wasn't meant to be a standalone, but it's got a moment that several people have been hoping would come, and standing alone gives that moment more attention than it would've had otherwise.

Filler post!

I’m working on the finale to Ladies’ Night that I mentioned (it’ll probably be its own, separate chapter; Ladies’ Night is really long as it is), and needed to stop for a bit to rest my brain (it gets tired easily…). Here’s a partial floorplan of Done’s apartment! This is what I provided Fishypony to get an idea of the layout for the art he did of Peach Pit.

Fable_Wright, my editor going on a year now, just published his first story on FimFiction. It's set in Equestria's future, a cyberpunk affair, and while it may not be for all of you, it is interesting and well written. I strongly encourage people to give it a try if you like cyberpunk at all. And if you like snakeponies, it's got one of those, too. Aaaand, it's reader driven. At Fable's request, I'm not going to go out of my way advertising this, so this untagged blog post, and

New chapter is up, and while it’s still first person, Done’s perspective, this one is all about the mares. It’s ladies’ night at The Tall Tail, and everyone’s invited! Actually, that’s a lie. Only Done’s mares are invited. But you can read about it.

Holy. Crap.
