All Good Things...

In about two weeks, the Vault will be ceasing operations. (The site will stay up forever*, but it will no longer be updating.)

The final post will be me answering my own questions, supplemented with questions others have asked me about myself, my work, and the Vault. If you have your own questions**, comment below! Or if you'd like to ask something anonymously, I've set up a form where you can do so.

I'll let this run for about a week – then I need time to actually answer questions!

* Meaning, I have no plans to take the site down (and in fact the point of the site is to stay up for as long as possible), and it costs me literally pennies to run, so I don't foresee any reason to ever take it down.

** I reserve the right to not answer questions like "Why didn't you include [story] in the Vault?" and "What are your current GPS coordinates?" I mean, you can ask, buuut don't be surprised if you don't get a real response...

Corejo's Reading Rainbow

Hasbro/DHX really missed the boat – how cool would it have been if season 2, episode 16 was named "Reading Rainbow" and the doctor was voiced by Levar Burton?

Dromicosuchus' Mendacity

Did you know that Lyra showed up in "A Canterlot Wedding" because Chrysalis kidnapped her to keep Bon Bon in line? I didn't. I really enjoyed finding out, though!

[Adventure][Shipping] • 74,700 words
Bon Bon's voice is funny, and that's about all that anypony who meets her notices, as her marefriend Lyra soon steals the spotlight with her explosive personality, strange obsessions, and curious beliefs. And why not? Bon Bon is, after all, a perfectly ordinary, boring pony in every way but two: her voice, and the carefully kept secret that she isn't really a pony.
