This Hearts and Hooves Day, I'm happy that this exists:

No panels or nothin', so no sure schedule, but I will be vaguely around the literary parts.

Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this DeviantArt link.

Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this day.

Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room, only visible if no one happened to be using it" and "literally on the brim of Admiral Biscuit's hat")

On my way to my backdoor con, Ponyville Ciderfest this weekend! Come to the drunkest state in the nation and indulge in a convention whose focus is on writing this year! Maybe some of you are interested in writing? There's a possibility!

This one isn't going to make its way into the cycle after all, and I couldn't quite get it to come together to anyone's satisfaction, but here's a fragment of a story inspired by the idea that there was a bunch of human crap that fell through the rips in the world at the end of The Friendship Games that had to be destroyed. Rather than just have it not be published anywhere, take a look...

As artifacts of purest evil go, it looks pretty benign.

Just re-read Cadance of Cloudsdale so far...I mean, it's pretty good, isn't it? It's not doing exactly what I set out to do, which was to create a pastiche of stories, each with its own drastically different tone, that somehow could be considered part of a whole narrative nonetheless. My tone gets more consistent over time, just sort of 100% overwhelming relationship melodrama all the time, and it's a little cloying. But..it's good, right? It's some fun My Little Pony fanfic based on taking
