Despite Amtrak's best efforts, I am now safely ensconced in my hotel room. Now comes the tricky part of finding people. And interacting with people. Through speech.

Whee...

Update: I have already briefly joined the coterie of Her Infernal Majesty, Queen Daybreaker. Or at least a cosplayer with a very impressive full-body suit, especially given that she apparently put it together in a week.

I wouldn't exactly call Baltimore a furnace; tomorrow's high will just be in the high eighties. In any case, this is a more detailed pre-Bronycon blog, complete with FoME panel times! And a small plea for help.

Technically speaking, the hiatus doesn’t end until the start of August, but Discovery Family saw fit to give us a taste of things to come. And it apparently tastes like Seussian bagpipes and bleeding ears. Let’s take it from the top.

One of the things I'm slated to do at BronyCon is help with an improv comedy bit called "And That's How Equestria Was Made!" Slight problem, though: The scheduled host, Super Trampoline, had the vagaries of life hit him hard enough that he doesn't have hotel money available at the moment. Hence, emergency commissions.

Staggered echo of an earlier emergency post: Amazing fan artist MustLoveFrogs is in dire financial straits at the moment. Commissions are most definitely open, with the pricing information available here. Every little bit helps, folks, and you'll get some amazing art out of the deal.

Since it's apparently the thing to do, I'm happy to announce that I'll be attending Bronycon this year. Indeed, I'll even be speaking as Pascoite's flash fiction panel! ... whenever that is.

Looking forward to seeing everyone who's coming!

Say what you will about the latest special, it still inspired me to write a Sunlight short. You can find it in Dueling Keyboards.

A bit ironic that they seemed to forget to advertise this special rather than the one involving memory magic. Still, it’s here and we can take a look at something I don’t believe we’ve ever seen before: A story set in the human world that’s longer than a few minutes and doesn’t focus on Sunset or a Twilight.
