A Rifting Rebirth · 7:23pm Jun 26th, 2022
At long last I am finalizing the rewrite and the new name, A Rifting Rebirth, now I just need to decide weather to keep the old one up and post a new story with the rewrite or overwrite the old one...

Meant to post this a few days ago, but there's still plenty of time on this.
It's April, which means it's time for the annual Horror Write-Off I run every year, Nightmare Night in April!
The event is simple: in order to encourage more horror writing, I hold a write-off event in which anyone can submit a Horror Story, to be compiled by April 30th, the opposite day of the year from Halloween!
With the exception of Hearths Warming, as I did for a quick fix experiment... and I did feature Hearts and Hooves in S5EP16
The reason is very simple...
1: We're not here to focus on said holidays in such a meaningful manner (This isn't "Friendship is Magic") Our main focus is the MOTWs and the battles and struggles.
Ok everypony I was rereading my published chapters just now in order to make sure things were lining up for chapter 4 and I discovered some spelling errors and possible plotholes that the betas missed, I am going to take some time to go over everything I have already written and make corrections before I continue working on chapter 4. it might take some time tho so don't expect any new chapters for a few weeks sorry everypony!
The next chapter of Nightmare Night is well underway and currently coming at a slow to moderate clip. I've got 6100 words down so far and as these are the story's climactic chapters, there's a good chance that this will double that length before all is said and done. I think now that the entirity of the Sunset/Twilight duel will be done in one chapter as opposed to two, though.
Hello everyone and welcome back to the question of the week and for those of you who partake in the holiday, happy Labor day.
As many of you know, I love Halloween and therefore I also love Nightmare Night. And while I woukd like to maybe write a story in my Neo Somnambula setting involving the holiday, however there a definitely somethings about the holiday that could result in some differences.
It's one of the greatest months to grace the year! OCTOBER! Full of fallen leaves, beautiful warm colors to contrast the cold, and the upcoming childish holiday we all (or, most of us, anyway) love: Halloween. Also known as All Hallow's Eve or Nightmare Night, and some even relating it to Día de los Muertos or Samhain (pronounced Sow-win). However you celebrate it, whether it be through movies, stories, trick'r'treating, reverence, fear, celebration, or you just stay home and bypass the holiday
After receiving pleas from multiple readers to keep the Enter the Griffon chapters in place, I have decided to do so and go with my original plan, which was to simply offer new readers the chance to skip over them when they come and then write the current chapter to catch anybody who does skip
Only one word left

And from the ashes she rose, the filly who was thought dead, and her eyes leaked the soot that were her remains. "Cozy Glow is real" she said, over and over again. And it was the last thing they ever heard.....
'Tis spook month!
And as such, I was looking back at that spook-month-themed fic I wrote back in 2019 that I was adamant at the time HAD to be formatted in a one-shot format.
But this year I concluded doing it in one-shot format hadn't really done anything for it, so I decided to retroactively go back and break it up into individual chapters instead.
The doors of the Badfic Slaughterhouse have opened once more, and six more stories now stand before their judge, jury, and potential executioner. Which will be found worthy, and which will be thrown into a grinder for your twisted amusement? Read on to find out.
In this edition of Badfic Slaughterhouse:
—Drunken poker shenanigans.
—Abel and Caine, reincarnated as astronauts.
—Sunset Shimmer gets hammered.
—Being gay makes ponies stupid.
Expectation: My ADHD pills will help me focus and get a ton of writing done!
Reality: My ADHD pills helped me masturbate for 5 straight hours!
( this is a large part of why I failed college, by the way)
I've been fortunate enough to have all of my fics make it into the Popular Box at one point or another. But now, I've done the impossible.
I've made it into the Featured Box.
To my credit, I've been calm and and haven't lost my cool despite this amazing honor--
Nightmare Night is finally here! And believe it or not, I have spent almost the entire day with writing. Another cold I sustained last week has slowed me down with my second story for Nightmare Night this year, so I had to make sure it would be out today at the latest. And as it is the case lately with my writing, the story also became much longer than I thought it would be. Something similar happened three years ago, I had to write on Nightmare Night to finish a story for it because covid-19
I'm going to take a break from my usual story rotation schedule for at least a couple weeks. There are two reasons for this. First, I think my prolific pace this year has finally been catching up with me a bit. I've been sensing a measure of burnout, particularly around writing clop. The next chapter of The Lawyer and The Unicorn is a major adult chapter, and I don't want to write it until I feel I can do it justice. Similarly, as happy as I was with the bulk of the last Five Star
So, in the midst of writing on and off, I've taken up drawing again... It's been a curve, but I've pushed myself to draw at least one thing a day.
After binge-watching WOY for two weeks, I got bored and doodled some stuff.
