Hey! It looks like you're new here. You might want to check out the introduction.
Show rules for this event
Greetings from fabulous Las Pegasus! That’s right—I’m out for a few days on a business trip in the city that never stops gambling, and I’m hungry for some high-rolling action.
High-rolling fanfic action, that is!
This contest is back at our “flagship” length of 750-1250 words. I feel like at that length, it’s anypony’s game to win; we all know what it’s like to wish we had some extra leeway on writing time & word count in a minific contest, and we’ve proven that this word count lets people explore genres that are hard to do shorter.
The stakes here are high, though. The house (me) won the last one—and some say the house always wins. But as Elvis once sang, all you need to hold your own is a strong eye, a nerve of steel, and a snuggleable pony plushie of your choosing. (I think he included that last one, anyway.) Will you find your luck deep in the shadows of Old Las Pegasus, or will you find it while partying down on the Strip? Will your dice crap out, or will Lady Luck herself let them stay hot?
Time to ante up, pardner.

Alas:
With the AppleDash contest, Jake the Army Guy's contest, and Shrink Laureate's Season 10 Bingo contest all wanting stories by the end of the month, my Pony writing time is pretty much full up for the next couple weeks...

Surely you can spend a couple hours over the weekend making a short short, right?

But it's not:
The writing. It's then reading the other entries, then wracking the thimbles and baling wire that I call my brains to come up with something useful to say about them while deliberating within the aforementioned thimbles and baling wire to rank the stories. The writing's the easy part of the Writeoff. It's the peripherals afterward that take up so much time.
Which I guess is why so few people comment on stuff anymore...

I just realized there is also an Original Round coming up Feb 10. Quite a surprise.
...Gosh, this weekend is trying to mess with me, isn't it? I have assignments to do, but at the same time, I need to Climb out of the Pit I digged myself into last FiSS round (I'm in the negatives). But, also, my mind is wanting to have a stab at the Original Also.
Idk... It's quite a gamble.
Seems like Risky Business...

Sorry folks, I'm not ready to come back just yet. Soon though.
Good luck to the participants that have cute faces (which is all of you).

I’m glad you made it in! I’ll get the old reviewin’ engine revved up here before long.

Why must you tease my heart, Raisin-Chan? D:

We await your return with vigilance, in keeping with the prophecy. So let it be written. So let it be done.

I have fic reviews in the works that are running late and there’s no stopping the lateness at this point. Will post. Honest.
