"Pas de Deux" gets featured by the Royal Canterlot Library · 1:33pm Sep 17th, 2016
Hello friends,
Hello friends,
Hey, everyone!
I just want to start out by saying that BABSCon 2016 was an absolute blast. It was great reuniting with friends from last year, and meeting new friends to look forward to seeing in the years to come.
As should be obvious from 15 months without a feature, life has taken the Royal Canterlot Library curators in different directions. While there’s still plenty of awesome stories being written in the My Little Pony fandom, we’re no longer actively working to spotlight them, and it’s time to officially draw the project to a close.

Take a wild, whimsical wander through a fairy tale, a literal fairy tale, in this Friday's featured fic.

She smiles at him every time she comes to visit the stately home where he works as a gardener, but Dilly Daliér has never spoken to her.
Nor will he ever.
Yep, got me that coveted spot on the shelf. In fact I made the RCL last week, but I guess more people pay attention here than there (though I did get some hits on the story, which was nice). I've no idea of the etiquette involved here, but what they hey? I'm in!
So!
Any questions?
