Hey all!

I've noticed that a lot of my stories currently in the works involve guards, or guard-like characters. I'm starting to think I may have a type. Or possibly a problem. Nevertheless! They are what they are. Rest assured, though, I do have more than just guard-pony stories.

Just as fair warning, I'm typing this out on a phone since I don't have access to a computer. Brony con just ended. This is the first one I had ever been able to attend, but I'm glad I did.

The con was fun, and while I wasn't there under my author name (Butterscotch Cream) I still had the opportunity to meet some awesome people.

A friend of mine was recently telling me about a comment he received on one of his stories. A lot of you here are authors, and you're probably familiar with the feeling. The comment was pretty rude, "blunt." The commenter went out of their way to state that the story pretty much wasn't worth their time reading.

There are wide and varied opinions on literary criticism, but I'm not going to state the other opinions, just my own.

Yes, this will contain episode spoilers. I'm typing this up here so that hopefully any spoilerish stuff will not be seen before this disclaimer is. Be warned!

Oh Big Mac, that voice! I want to write about it... And the tenor stallion there... hm. Gears be turning. Maybe something will come of this. And... well, it'll probably come after everyone else finishes the wave and people will be bored with Big Mac x WhatHisName.

Well... my muses did it to me again. There I am, sitting with a story that just needs revisions, and they go, "No! We want you to work on this!" I suppose ultimately, they know best. You can consider this my Hearts'n'Hooves day contribution I think.

I apologize that it's so short, but I suppose some stories... don't need long to tell. I can't afford to get cover art for it right now, but that will come later I think. In the meantime though, I hope you enjoy the story.

Just about everyone knows that authors generally love comments on their work, even if some of them are afraid of trying to reply to them and don't know what to say (like me). Comments tell the author what people liked, what they didn't like, what they can improve on and very often can just be an excellent source of encouragement.

As several of you have seen me say, I have several stories baking in the oven. Most of them are half-done.

However!

I thought I'd give you all a heads-up that I've actually finished one! It still has a few stages of polish to go through, but getting the full body of the story completed is a major step. So, keep your eyes peeled for some coltcuddling from me, and hopefully you shall not be disappointed!

This is just a playful satire so we can look at ourselves and laugh, having a little fun at our own expense. That includes my own, as I've done many of the things in this list - in fact, I used several of my own tendencies, accidents and mishaps as inspiration for the verses *glances suspiciously at the one about name innuendos and Big Mac gay shipping* Everything is stated to sound horrible, but hopefully in a funny way. So please don't take this seriously, but as something to laugh

To those of you watching A Love Letter and Candied Apples, this is just a heads up. I've made changes to both stories, though the more extensive changes probably go with A Love Letter.

For A Love Letter: I wrote an extension to the first section which reveals more of the characters involved in the story. Everything after that point is pretty much the same, but if you're interested in background and world-building, you might want to take a look.
