State of the Scribe: December 2019

Hey everypone, got my monthly calendar coming in hot! Let’s go through this as quick as we can, yeah?

So, first thing to talk about is a review of the two new stories we got last month, Child of Mine and Hour of Twilight. Two covers in one month, how awesome is that? So those stories have both made the transition to Fimfiction, where their updates will continue from here on.

As a reminder, Child of Mine is a pretty standard tf/tg type story, where a human decides to help a strange creature he discovers out in the wilderness, and suffers predictable consequences when that creature isn’t as satisfied with his help as he’d probably hope.

Then there’s Hour of Twilight, a somewhat grim science fiction story depicting a world in which Twilight did not cope well with the loss of her mortal friends. Her suffering eventually led to an Equestria that most probably wouldn’t want to live in, and a population desperately struggling to survive.

No new stories are coming to fimfiction this month, though there is going to be a minific exclusive to the patreon: Finding Myself. This is the first minific prompt I’ve received in a good long while, so that was pretty exciting. This story involves a human who is forced to become a pony to travel to Equestria–only to find his human self already living there. I won’t say more, but I think it’s gonna be a ton of fun.

This month will bring the end of a story I’ve absolutely loved writing for a good long while now: Homebrew. A huge thanks to Two Bit for sponsoring it, I think it’s my proudest FiO story yet. I keep thinking I’m going to run out of ideas for those stories, but… it hasn’t happened yet. I hope everyone had as much fun with that story as I did.

Lastly, something big is coming tomorrow. I don’t want to spoil it, but… some of you probably saw it coming. Keep an eye on your feed tomorrow, it’s gonna be awesome.
