    Rainbows, eh?

    This is fortunately nothing to do with Zephyr Breeze's... distinctive way of addressing Ms Dash. It's simply that in a (print, hence no link) magazine earlier I found a comment by someone, himself gay, who said he'd stopped trying to work out which letters to include in LGBTIQA+ (or the many variations thereof) and simply referred to people who feel at home under that umbrella as

    The never-ending stor(e)y

    For some reason this is one of the points readers of mine (including off-site ones) have mentioned several times, perhaps because it's one of those Transatlantic divides that isn't all that well known. So: when you're talking about the floors of a building:

    US English: one story, two stories. The same spelling and the same plural as for the other kind of story.

    Fics I reviewed in April 2024 (and one from late March)

    By popular request¹ I'm bringing back this feature. My weekly Ponyfic Roundup reviews are, and will remain, on my off-site blog. It just suits me to do it that way, even if I'd probably have got significantly more of a readership had I written the blogs on Fimfiction as most (all?) other current reviewers do. However, a

    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

UK PonyCon 2017, Bristol, 21/22 October · 10:23am Jun 3rd, 2017

Edit 6 June: Weekend and Saturday ticket sales are on hold pending a review of venue capacity, due to high sales. However, Sunday and stallholder tickets are still available. An Adult Sunday ticket is £21 for Standard tier or £31 for Supporter-tier. It’s possible some of the other ticket types may have a few more released once the capacity review is complete, but no guarantees. Source: the official UKPC forum.

The all-gens, all-ages MLP convention for the UK is back! Well, it will be in October, but you know what I mean. :rainbowwild: Anyway, you're now too late for Early Bird tickets, but normal-rate ones are still available. For an adult weekend pass, it's £35 for Standard-tier and £45 for Supporter-tier. The latter includes a mention in the con book, a special button badge and a £5 donation to the con charity, the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA). Any remaining funds go to the con's running costs. Day tickets and family/child tickets are also available.

The con's official site, including the ticket store, is here:

I'm very tempted! After costing it up it looks like about £200 for the weekend for me.

4556757 It'd be good to see you if you do decide to come! Bear in mind there's no on-site (or nearly on-site) hotel this time and it's not in the city centre, so accommodation will need a tad more planning than sometimes. Still I'm already committed so I'll have to make it work. :D

4557231 Yay!

Edit: of course I mean :yay:
