The QTC announcement will be coming this evening, for realsies this time.
Now it's time for contest 32!
Return of the Derp! Return of the Moondancer! Return of the Season 1 Twily! Guys, do you think the writers want us to know that they care about continuity?
Still, I really enjoyed it. I know it's early, but my initial impression is at least a solid 7/10.
So, I been having some more ducking problems. This time, it's one that's gonna be harder to fix.
So, I've been having thyroid issues, and have been the entire time I've been on this site, plus more, but that's beside the point. My immune system is attacking my thyroid. As the thyroid is damaged, hormones that are important for the body are not distributed as effectively as they should be. Now, the thyroid affects the gender identification hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen.
NOTE: The next contest will be held SUNDAY AT 3PM Eastern Time!
We'll try doing Sundays from now on, basically.

Wow, we've done forty of these! With the occasional breaks, that means this has gone on for about a year now. We might take a break for a couple of weeks after this one since nopony has spent any Trick Points yet.

Hi everyone!
I'm writing this to give you a small update on the fic! I had to drop it for a while because other stuff got in the way, but rewatching "A Hearth Warming Tale" really got me into this mood to just sit down and finish it. Mostly because it still makes me excited that I SORTA PREDICTED GRIM REAPER LUNA HALF A YEAR IN ADVANCED Also I'm on a huge RariLuna kick suddenly so there's that too.
I was just about to give up in trying to explain why I didn't like Pony Point of View when a group member from another site put it into perfect words:
"This would have been a fantastic Season 1 or 2 episode."
That's it. Right there.
It feels like a bit more than a day late and a dollar short. The relationships of the mane six feel far beyond something as petty as this.
Daring Do episodes are often far-reaching.
When a character attempts to break the fourth wall, it may disturb a suspension of disbelief. A reader may not want to participate in the story as a character. Or the world in the reader’s mind is too different from the world in the writer's mind.
It may be especially disturbing if the author switches to the second person narration.
Of course, sometimes and for some genres it may work.
So we have leaks again. I knew it was only a matter of time. Anyway, on with the show…
A spoiler. Also, a G.M. Berrow episode. Which explains things.
And another spoiler.
The last major batch of Equestria Girls microepisodes, and I’m going to do the whole batch at once.
