Admiral Tigerclaw has a new epistolary fic he's using to batter away at writer's block with:

''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

-- James Nicoll

Is there a non-SB link? I'd forgotten they'd started blocking anonymous viewers.

For those who haven't read it:http://www.fimfiction.net/story/546/1/The-Cough/]The Cough, a short, dark piece of flashfiction.

Read it? Good. Now give http://www.fimfiction.net/story/13302/The-Fart]The Fart a read. It's like the above, but sent through the filter of South Park. (NSFW, and gross.) The reader comments are HILARIOUS.

He's said its eventually going to be up on FIMfiction, so just hold on a bit.

Also, this is a bit off topic, but it is about a television show ostensibly for children being awesome, so...

Big Bird vs. The Egyptian afterlife. This was a thing that happened.

Imagine what goes through the head of a one of Black Mesa's physasits.... that is also a pony

Thanks Foxboy!

Nice. I like it. A good sci-fi twist on Human in Equestria. Actually, it kind of reminds of The Thessalonica Legacy. Not a bad thing.

Anyone else reading the Conversion Bureau stuff?

It's terrible-- funny, but terrible!

I've read a lot of the conversion bureau stuff. Especially Chatoyance's work... I don't particularly care for some of the points she's chosen, but damn, can she write!

Yeah, CB has this reputation for awfulness which I don't think is really deserved. A lot of the stuff seems needlessly polarizing and/or dark, but that's a different beast entirely. It is important to note that there isn't one CB canon: every author states (or at least should) what other stories theirs are based on, since there are a bunch of incompatible forks.

I've found fimfiction's archive to be somewhat annoying to use, to get an any where usable listing I've got to manually force a filtered view: http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?vie ... &order=top

I thought they had discontinued use of the star system.

I wish they'd discontinue whoever's responsible for their backend website work. I can't stay logged into the damn site on my phone, I keep having to log in every time I change from wifi to cellular or vice versa.

Also, Jorlem dropped a blurb from and a rec to Beating the Heat. I'd read the first couple chapters, but got distracted by something shiny, and I am excited to see it again (I may have been over an hour late for work because I couldn't stop reading). It's saucy, funny, and a delightfully bonkers good time. It is NSFW. It is not safe for children. It is, however, recommended.

Thanks Jorlem!

Yeah, that fic is excellent, but definitely NSFW:

Fluttershy is watching me o.o

I'm not a big fan of rock, and I doubt Lyra is either. Ironically, I'd bet that we are both fans of classical music.

Discord will give me a potato as a present?

(What? Hey, it's Discord - he can make February 31 happen. Even if it isn't my birthday.)

I posted a version of this song in the last thread, but there's a PMV of it now, so here it is again. Should I also post this into the Game Everybody Loves to Play section? I remember that something had been said about this possibly being some sort of power song, or something to that effect.

So, can we recruit Luna as a vocalist for the band, even if she's not a founding member?
