Merry Christmas, everypony! If you’re like me and have some time off over the holidays, this is a great chance to come together & crank out some horsewords. Even if you don’t have time off, it’s always time for Pony Time.
As always, a key goal of Friendship is Short Shorts is to run contests of lengths that make it easy to port stories over to FimFiction afterwards. In that spirit, I’m experimenting with a few tweaks to the “longer Short Shorts” format that we did a couple rounds ago. I think we all wrote some good stuff that last time, but the finals round proved to be less motivating than I’d expected. Lesson learned—it’s gone now. We also tended to skew shorter on overall word length, so I’m making like Fluttershy and leaning into that. The writing period is also a bit shorter, but it ought to be more than long enough for the word count.
So: gather your most festive prompts, put your opened presents aside, and gird yourself for writing!

Finally, another opportunity to embarrass myself before my peers in a sado-masochistic fashion.
I reaaaally hope I get to participate in one of these before the year is over.
Here's hoping!

Only two fics? Alas, that just means it’s easier to read and review them all!

The holidays ate me nooooo
I guess they ate a lot of people though, from the looks of it?
