R'hllor, Give Us Light

Okay, so I've mostly been busy with real-life things, but I've also built up a mental queue of things I need to blog about, and this isn't actually a case of first things first. I'm just doing the first one that came to mind. It won't surprise anyone that it's ponies.

General Zoi's Pony Creator, which I used for my Slaying Is Magic illustrated crossover, has been expanded in a big way. I did promise to stop making BtVS/FIM crossovers, but I never promised to stop making my friends into ponies, and even if I had, I wouldn't have been able to resist playing around with this best of all possible toys.

So, here's the new and improved Mane Six of B/A Fandom. Points to the first one who identifies the background.

The Pony Creator even offers the option to save codes so you can go back to pose your ponies without starting from scratch, so here's those for anyone interested. (If you want cutie marks you can ask me or come up with your own; I didn't try saving those in the codes.)

Aaand...crap. I apparently saved the same ones multiple times and missed Keanbow Dash and Ashlejack. Oh well. You know I'd recreate them for you any time you ask, right?

The new season of the show begins with The Return of Harmony, Part 1 this Saturday at 9am EST. This was brought to my attention by a mass mailing from the mods at Ponygoons, reading simply,


Dear Ponygoons,

Holy f***ing s***.
Five f***ing days.

Hugs and kisses,

Redeye, ComradeCosmobot, and the rest of the Ponygoons Staff

P.S. We're all waiting for you!

(Censorship mine. I'm weird about that stuff, I know.)

The voice of the Big Bad is apparently Q. I don't know what that means, but I'm in.

Sign-ups are open at iwry_marathon.

Each year, one of the greatest difficulties for the organizers of the marathon is securing a list of participating authors big enough to fill the month - we've had a great response so far, but there are definitely spots left to fill, and the sooner you respond, the closer we'll be to another wonderfully B/A-tinted November.

Please don't ever feel you're not up to snuff! All levels of ability are welcome, and if you need help, I bet we can hook you up with a beta. Any questions at all that you have about the event or its rules, just ask at the LJ comm, or ask me and I'll make sure you're on the right page.

Spread the word and don't hesitate to sign up!
