Whoo, another not-a-contest fic! This one from D-20 and quite the surprise to me. . .
Back in July, I submitted a minific for Loganberry's Monthly Minific contest. It wasn't a big story, just a simple little tale about Pinkie Pie trolling Mud Briar on a social networking site. It got
Howdy howdy.
I recently finished an entry to FoME's Imposing Sovereign's II contest. It was pretty fun to write, since I got to play with two characters I've never actually written before; Ember and Thorax, both of whom are adorable in my opinion, and very fascinating as both of them are monstrous rulers trying to play nice with the pastel ponies of Equestria, each in their own suitably awkward way.
Have you ever wondered what it might be like if a store were staffed by ponies but managed by a human? Good news, you don’t have to wonder any further; Buck Swisher has a story about helpful hardware store ponies.
First off, I've discovered that Cinnamon Tea is actually a historic character in FiM, which fits the story Forever Young perfectly—except...
This little guy knew Mistmane pre-Limbo.

Hello everyone. So initially I wasn't sure that I'd be able to create an actual Halloween themed story this year... however then Nailah posted a blog on a Halloween Contest and while I wasn't sure I was going to participate, I thought about some ideas and now here we are. 🎃<-- Robipony hiding in plane sight.
Hello everyone and welcome to the Question of the Week, the part of the blog where I ask you a question(s) for the week... Something that usually would be much easier if I didn't have a head cold right now.
Still, I will try to attempt to ask you a question for this week.
Hello everyone and welcome back to the question of the week.
First off, let me remind you all about the Nightmare Night Cyberpunk Story Contest. Oh, I do hope many of you will participate. I'm so nervous (especially since I spent money on prizes).
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!
Whoo, got another Not-A-Contest fic for y'all!
Given the title, it's not a spoiler to say Fluttershy's in it. May I present SparklingTwilight's latest work:
Reproduced from this forum post. Join the group here to submit and/or see updates and eventual results!
So, let's clarify something.
Three Steps Back isn't cancelled.
I know I removed it from the Sci Fi contest, that is despite initially stating it would be my entry. That's my bad. It pretty much comes down to this though, it was getting too damn long.
The Great and Powerful Dixie won fifth place and the first place in the Trojan Horse* category in Dezmo's NSFW Contest.
Hello everyone and welcome back to the question of the week. Glad to see you all. I decided to do this blog a bit early as I will be busy tomorrow making the final preparations for my Hawaii vacation.
For those who haven't seen my post about it a few days ago, it is once again April, and as I've done for the last few years, I'm running my horror event, possibly for the last time...
The muse is cruel and unforgiving.
Yeah. Lately I've had ideas for the next chapter of Together from Canterlot to Canterlot. Ideas for the Shining is a Terrible Dad contest. Ideas in general. And I keep bombing out of actually writing them. Or reading. I've had a bit of a rough year, mentally.
Pinkie Pie goes official with her party cannon. Just don't call it that.
Another submission to the dialogue only contest.
Imagine writing a story which simultaneously qualifies for two different contests . . . and one not-contest.
Odd_Sarge is enough of a madpony to have done it.
