My Little Pony XII: No One Can Groove Like the Girls with the Hooves

[Bunny Earz]

But I strongly suspect they weren't exactly chasing ponies through the street to get in the door.

haha true!! Although it would be pretty exciting..

[Shadowy]

So I finished my speedfic with one minute to spare.

My gosh I cannot write like that.

[Raz_Fox]

Two hours. 3300+ words. Slightly rushed ending. Tearing up there as I wrote the last few paragraphs. First person narrative makes me really sympathize with her.

Submitted at 10:00 precisely.

There's some kind of punishment for naming my fic Cupcakes, Rainbow Dash Style, I just know it. But that's the focus of the fic, and it's completely innocent, so... yeah.

what's a speed fic just wondering...

[Grif]

I saw your rivet gun and Grif's shotgun headed out back to the tool shed. Something about "loosening the bolts"...

I'm going to have to have a word with my shotgun. Excuse me for a moment.

So, you're telling me your rivet gun, sans intelligence, managed to talk you into installing an AI in it?

Druid Droid, do your tools talk to you often? Do they tell you to do other things?

I don't know, my shotgun did the same thing too.

Well, I'm feeling a very real sense of guilt and a compelling desire to apologize to Grif before drinking cold, drugged tea. And I wasn't feeling that before reading through your catch-up post.

So I would say that no, this isn't very strange, and actually I appreciate your dedication very much.

Now if you'll excuse me... *sip* *ker-thud*

Bad Phoe. Were you slipping things into my tea again? *sip* Mmm, most excellent. *thud*

Fifteen minutes.

I've got my totems. The Celestian Sun pin. A golden replica of a spanish piece-of-eight. Both sit to the left of my netbook. Despite the fact that I recently acquired a very nice Thanqol-ish hat from my pater, it will not be worn tonight. Wrong ambiance. I do wear, however, an armband, a replica of an article of clothing worn by one miss Haruhi Suzumiya. My desk has been shifted a few inches to the right, so that I can rest my netbook on my desk instead of on my lap as normal. My undone math homework has been set aside, on the floor. No distractions.

Ten minutes.

I lied. There's one more totem I've got tonight. It's a dun-brown stone, perfectly smooth, with cracks running under its immaculate surface. I got it a few weekends back. It's from the Jordan river, where He walked. It's sitting next to the sun and the coin. A reminder of why I write.

Close a fanfic. Finish reading a few writing articles; leave the one on how to hook a reader from the first line open, and wince at the one on why my novels aren't finished yet. It's because editing and researching and outlining aren't writing, per se, and yet the outlining never seems to work out right the first time. One day I'll get it right, and be better because of the failures. Read SiuiS's mega-post. Crack a smile.

Five minutes.

Take a deep breath. Get ready to queue up appropriate music. Blackmore's Night and the Merlin Playlist of Touhou Remixes may be used if no appropriate music is found pertaining to the writing prompt. And At The Winter Gala and Princess Luna: Reimagined.

Three minutes.

Deep breath, deep breath. Open up Write or Die in another tab. Pray that firefox doesn't crash. Save and close your multiple Word documents, and promise yourself that you'll finish that Summer Civics Essay next week, really, honest. Make sure your ice water is close at hand.

Showtime. Refresh Equestria Daily.

Here's mine.

Wake up. Go to the bathroom. Come out. Oh **** speedfic ohgodIhaveonlyanhourlefttocribsomething.

Well the contest for me pretty much went: Oh wait I'm not a writer. Pen tool, don't fail me now, SHOW THESE FOOLS THE DEPTHS OF MY INSANITY.

[Qaera]

Dang, playing with Flash for the past [X time] has made me really appreciate the animation in the show. Now to see if I can make a pony.

What the heck is going on? I'm so confused

What the heck is going on? I'm so confused

An Equestria Daily contest that just ended. They had two hours exactly to write a story on a topic not given until the start of the contest. Hence, speed-fic.

[Shadowy]

MY GOD I FINISHED THE SPEEDFIC AND ONLY SHARED IT TO HIM.

I feel like such an idiot and will probably be disqualified due to my own fault.

*Facehoof*

I need some pony pictures to either soothe or mock my epic fail.

DOH!

There was a speed writing today? I should have joined. I haven't written a story in a while and I have needed a drive to make one. Is there a date on the next one?

[Bunny Earz]

Brownie points? Prestige?

So one of those "the joy of winning"? Alright. I'll have to try one of these sometime...I would also like to know the next one...
