Description One of the many ways I'm distracting myself from projects I should be working on is taking part in a Ponychan "Writer's Event". You can read about it at [link]

And you can read the stories at:
[link]

In this case, the artists of /art/ were presented with a prompt: "sweet music", and tasked to draw something with that theme in a few days time. The writers of /fic/ were then shown the pictures and tasked to pick one and use it to write an original work of 2500 words or more.

The writers have a rather complicated judging system (this is their fifth contest, but the first involving the artists) to determine a winner; the public voting starts next week.

For the artists, it was simpler, the one to get the most people to use their picture as a prompt wins the gold medal.

I got a participation ribbon.

It's good that you had fun drawing it, because doing something you enjoy most is a good thing ^_^

This seems like it would make an interesting story. Pinkie would make an interesting Villain because she would have what she thinks are good intentions, and her smile would be so creepy in certain situations. Also, a bit of a fan of the original Phantom.

I think there's some potential here, but nothing a writer could develop in less than 72 hours.

The winning art entry (and very deservedly so, in my opinion) was a simple picture of a music box as one would look in the pony universe. It was pregnant with all kinds of questions(whose box was it?, what song did it play?), but didn't lock you into any answer.

Mostly, I like the idea of Pinkie dramatically playing the opening bars to Bach's " Tocatta and Fugue in D minor", and then when she gets to the lowest note of the tense introduction, she transitions into a bouncy version of "Heart and Soul", like they play on the floor piano in the movie Big.

Then she leads the opera audience in the seventh inning stretch and tries to start a rally after intermission. duh-duh-duh-DUNH-duh-dah CHARRRRGE!

Mostly, I like how "solid" Pinkie looks. Probably the most show-accurate pencils I've done, shaded into a 3D object. Could stand a little refinement around the nose part of the mask, but otherwise really good work for me.
