It so happens that I just wrote and published another little bit of ponyfic: Starlight Glimmer vs. ERS Scammers.

As the title says, I've been going through my favorite stories, and re-reading many of them. There are a few where I honestly can't remember why I faved them; they clearly spoke to me at the time, but now, possibly years later, I don't know why or what they meant to me. (It's not as if they're bad stories, generally, just ones that don't amuse or impress or touch me any more.)

I think I just got smacked on the face with the Clue By Four of Inspiration +2. Because I've got this idea for a slightly Halloweenish romance-slash-adventure story, featuring Davenport of all ponies, that keeps filling up my imagination and diverting all the other stuff.

So... perhaps, just perhaps, there might be a new story from me for the Halloween!

I think it's time to face the facts: I'm not writing ponyfic any more.

Not because I've lost my interest in ponies, or moved on, or anything! I just don't have anything to write. S5 was a lot of fun, and packed with possibility; now, we're going to be getting S6 sooner or later. There are those articulated action pony figures at long last, complete with a giant armored Spike -- and I don't have a single idea for a story. Not even one of those 300-word semi-drabbles I used to tinker with.

Dear readers, how often does this happen to you?

I wanted to re-read a blog post by one of the fine, clever, eloquent writers of FIMfiction that I follow. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember who, exactly, had written the post I was looking for. It wasn't so idiosyncratic that I could easily pin it to a particular writer. So there was nothing to do but start checking the recent-ish blog posts of a number of authors, starting with the ones I thought as most likely.
