A collection of stories, ideas, names, and more, all pony related.
Silk Rose, I'm a massive fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, it's my favorite show. My favorite pony is Pinkie Pie, and almost everything I do creatively is pony related in some way.
I love to write stories about ponies. My favorite genre is romance, but I want to write all genres. I also, sometimes, make my own covers.
My favorite games are Factorio, and Minecraft. I've made a few Factorio Mods, and since late 2019, I have been the lead maintainer of Love & Tolerance, a MLP:FiM-inspired resource pack for Minecraft.
My published writing can be found on my FIMFiction profile; my unpublished writing can be found in my Pony repository.
- Writing in the open: Everything is open for the world to read.
- Plain text: My work is stored in plain text Markdown files.
- Easier to share: Every story and chapter is just a GitHub link away.
- Better versioning: I decide when and what to name changes.
- Free to use: My writing is free for anyone to do anything with.
- Markdown, my file format of choice.
- fimd, used to convert Markdown into FIMFiction BBCode.
- Obsidian, a highly customizable and extensible Markdown text editor.
- LanguageTool, grammar tool of choice, I use the premium version.
- Obsidian LanguageTool, a plugin to use LanguageTool within Obsidian.
- GIMP, an image editor, used to make covers.
- MLP Vector Club, used to get accurate pony colors.
- Archive: Long term storage for files that are unlikely to change, and deleted files.
- Code: Code for the API, converting markdown into FIMFiction BBCode, and maintaining standards.
- Flash Fiction: Short stories, typically written in one sitting.
- Ponies: Sprites of ponies, props, and templates, for making covers.
- Stories: Story folders for all completed and in-progress work. Also, contains a file for ideas, and for names.
I wrote code to analyze each of the statistics below the banner at the top. Here is additional context for word and code count:
The total word count for all stories and flash fiction. Does not count meta files, or any markdown syntax, and counts hyphenated words as one word.
The total number of trimmed unique lines of code.
