How to write a Shipfic. · 4:16am May 19th, 2018
"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry.
"Aren't you at Everfree Northwest right now? And since you are the best at ponies, will you reserve your INFINITE WISDOM for those lucky few who come across you in person at the con?"
To this, I say, no. Mostly 'cause it's still an hour or so 'til the author/artist hangout, so I'm just chilling in my secret base 'til then. A secret base with wifi. It's a good base. I'd give more of a EFNW report but I figure I'm gonna wait 'til the end of the con for one big-ass comprehensive post.
In the meanwhile, inspired by the shipping panel I went to earlier, I will now tell all four of you reading this right now THE SECRET OF WRITING THE SHIPFICS.
Step 1: Drink drinks. Romantic drinks. Which is like drinking normal drinks, only by candlelight. The candlelight also helps 'cause it lets you swap in the cheap stuff without your date noticing.
Step 2: WATCH THIS.
Step 3:
If I have to explain what comes next, then obviously you haven't been paying attention.
Uhh...
OH.
RIGHT.
The cheap stuff.
That was disgustingly corny even by 90's robot anime soap opera standards.
Lucky us nobody would take that as actual advice... right?
Where do you even find these corny clips? Also tell everyone at EFNW I said hi!
We're gonna need "How to write a Tumblweed 'How to write' blog" soon.
Reasonable advice all the way through. I don't see what could go wrong.
.... Darn it, now I want to write a G Gundam Equestria Girls fic. (EG Gundam?)
