This has nothing to do with the last episode. It was an excellent episode, giving Applejack some much-needed screen time, but that's old news now. (Presumably, Sleepless in Ponyville aired in antiquity, and the series was introduced some time during the Carboniferous.)

The old banners sucked; the new banners are great. At least, they aren't gigantic take-up-half-your-netbook-screen monsters, and they aren't saucy shipping. Instead, you have Derpy vs. Rainbow Dash.

Oh, and I'm canceling Conundrum. Sorry. It just...it should have been a one-shot to begin with, and there really isn't a coherent theme I can use for the third installment.

It appears that a magic-capable Pinkie is summoning words and putting them into a text file on my computer:

00:30 < waterpear|writing> >Buffer has 334 lines, 5127 words, and 29042 characters.
00:30 < waterpear|writing> 5k words
00:30 < waterpear|writing> where the fuck are these words coming from
00:31 < Cyanide> From the magic word fairy from the land of wordtopia
00:31 < Cyanide> Where dreams come true
00:31 <@Xaquseg> word fairy.

Oh. Conundrum. That one story collection. I'm working on the final story in it. I had dreams of submitting it separately for a (long) shot at the feature box, but then this story showed up while I was writing, and mine...might be perceived as being a knockoff.

That HiE I mentioned last blog post had about two pages of notes and, ah, seven words of actual fic. I found that I didn't want to write it. Upshot: it's trashed, and I didn't even save the notes. That is how little I cared, and you almost certainly care even less.

To be precise, it's 90% crap.

You know what else is crap? The fic I mentioned in my last post. I like the idea, but I wrote myself into a corner, and in the process learned that I'm not a competent sadfic writer. So that project's on hiatus. (Like I said, I still like the premise.)

So I'm going to write an HiE, and you can't stop me. It won't be completely generic, anyway.

But first I sleep, as it's what-the-hell-o'clock A.M.
