imho, this story does some lovely things with music, friendship, realizations, and personal growth.

EDIT: Maybe this project is cancelled. I'm not sure.

A SHORT passage may be anywhere from a line or two long, to a few hundred words long I guess.

If you do, can you say what they are (and where they come from, naturally)?

Also, it might be good to have some examples that can be understood and appreciated even by someone from outside the fandom.

Thank you!

I think it's 95% hilarious when someone in a fimfiction.net group or a discord or other social media asks for story recommendations and they say nothing or almost nothing about what kinds of stories they even like, or what they think makes a story good or bad.

Because I know some fimfic writers read this blog, I have a question about contest scheduling.

Do you think for you personally, and for people in general, a contest that starts roughly now, and ends in early to mid February, is good timing or not?

In your answer, please say whether you write fimfics. 🙂 (I might peek at your fimfic user page to see them.)

Thank you!

Snails has a secret: a secret power only he can wield, a secret batch of knowledge only he can grasp, a whole secret world over which he rules as an absolute monarch. Secret except, y'know, it's right there on his flanks...

This story provides Snips and Snails a great backstory, interesting personalities, an entertaining and very convincing first person narrator character voice, and quite a fun and often funny plot.

For reference, a contest I ran earlier this year:
