The "New Blood" contest: Second Edition.
This is where the magic happens…
This is where the magic grows...
How hard can writing novels be, anyway?

On March 31st, after about a month's work on a secret project, Silk Rose and I published a 1 chapter story titled "This Story Will Explode In 24 Hours". Over the course of those 24 hours the story was updated on a strict schedule, until finally, after a long wait at zero hours and zero minutes, the exploding story...
... didn't.
A lot has changed in two years.
In 2021, I was thinking of wrapping things up here. I hadn't published anything in years, my writing projects were going nowhere, and other hobbies were taking more of my time. At some point late in the year I decided I would read the best stuff on the site (by some reckoning), maybe publish one last thing, and then put a bow on it and log out of the fandom for good.
Then... A few things happened.
Fimfiction does not allow users to upload images, other than avatars and story covers. This has resulted in a need for external image hosting. However, there seems to be no high quality, detailed, or up to date source of information on the subject.
... Until now!
Below is a slightly shortened version of a problem & solution I posted on The Writers' Group.
Unfloated Content
My new story, The Manehattan Anomaly, is my first serious fic-writing experience in nearly a decade, and it's amazing to think that it's finally going out into the world.
I started it back in April as part of a horror write-off, but somewhere in the final few days of that month, I realized it needed much more time, care, and effort. So I promptly stopped working on it until September. As you do.
In a perfect world, stories like mine would not get featured... but this is not a perfect world.
It happened again! A joke story I wrote in a very short amount of time got noticed by all the wrong people, and now it has more engagement than 90% of the rest of the stories on this site. Shall I pity myself? Eh, not really.
I opened my browser to look up whether "thunk" is an appropriate conjugation of "think" in the context of "[Character] thunk."
I ended up browsing reddit for twenty minutes then watched the first five minutes of the "Miracle on the Hudson" documentary. Then I got bored, closed the browser and went back to my document.
Then I remembered why I'd opened my browser.
