Dinner With Rose notes

First of all, a huge thanks to my pre-readers: AShadowOfCygnus, MSPiper, and metallusionismagic.

This one probably doesn't need a signal boost. . . .

But if you haven't noticed it somehow, I'd urge you to check out An Academic Visit, by RustPony. I've had the privilege of pre-reading it, and I can assure you, it's a good read.

Onto the Pony Planet Chapter 21 Notes

A huge thanks to my pre-readers and creative consultants: Humanist, AnormalUnicornPony, metallusionsismagic, AShadowOfCygnus, bitbrony, MSPiper, MrZJunior, Forderz, Woonsocket Wrench, and my parents.

Fimfic Authors Are In Your Bed Story Notes

Well, here you have it. As Estee so elequently puts it, it's

Admiral Biscuit's current attempt to destroy the site

It's my first attempt at running a collaborative fic. Yay.

Obviously, I can't provide story notes on the chapters I didn't write. But I can provide them on what I did.

Okay, I didn't think so many people were going to want to do this thing, or more importantly that they'd expect some kind of order to it.

My bad.
