One letter away from dimensional transfer

Yes, there's a sign outside.

Must be a lot of very startled double-take pauses at that sign.

(Yes, I'm thinking about asking someone to sneak out there in the dead of night and insert an 'i'. Just to see what happens.)

Well, that'd be a novel way to get to Equestria. Get beaned in the head by a horseshoe, and wake up in the Ponyville hospital with a nasty concussion.

Actually, there's probably the potential for a "There's no I in Equestra" joke, too.

3338916 you'd be the perfect author too.

If I didn't have so many in-progress stories, I'd jump on it.

I was picturing a senior who moved into the residence of the most recently-deceased member of a retirement community. And hidden in the apartment is a little gold-and-silver lower-case 'i', taped to the cover of an appointment book, with the next and never-to-be-met scheduled something or other set for the horseshoe field one week from move-in, exactly at sunset. By which time, our senior is more than bored enough with community life to wander out there and see what was so important that it had to be hidden away...

Make a story contest out of the image. You know you want to.

More people listen to you than me.

This implies that -1 people listen to you.

Well, you've suckered at least one person into writing A Pony Walks into a Police Station, spearheading Fimfic Authors are in your Bed (although the whole thing was really ocalhoun's fault), and an Elements of Elements story. All I've ever inspired is a story where Celestia was a mule before she ascended.

EDIT: and I also got Present Perfect to punch me, so I guess that counts for something.

You currently have eight hundred and seventy-seven followers. Either you have some minor degree of influence in the community or there's a hole in your pockets and people are waiting for you to drop money.

I have it on absolutely no authority whatsoever that PP will punch anybody.

I'm out of money right now. Spent it all buying followers.

Okay, fine, I'll make a blog, and when somebody writes the story, we'll see who they credit for the idea.

Alright. Blog post is posted. Now we wait.

Is it wrong that I read "Horseshoe Pits" and imagine some bizarre offshoot of Tartarus? Some strange crack in the earth full of evil farriers waiting to pound metal into the hooves of the sinful?

I blame the new D&D sourcebook I got yesterday. Yeah, let's go with that.

Write it! Do it!

[Lancerlot]

Maybe Horseshoe Pits is a neighborhood in the bad part of Manehattan?

I just envisioned one of those pits full of pillowsponges you find in a gymnasium, only filled with horseshoes.

...ok, typing it out, that sounds remarkably painful.

Apparently, I do have some minor degree of influence. Who knew?

And now we have a second.
