If Everfree Northwest crams anything more into their convention it's going to explode at the seams! The staff at Everfree are proud to announce a slew of writers showing up at the convention as community guests which happens to include our very own PK! Check after the break for the full list.
For
2013, Everfree Northwest is proud to be the literary hub of the pony
convention circuit! Come and join our all-star cast of fan authors,
editors, and pre-readers and share in the magic of the written word.
What better way to celebrate the high-quality writing of Friendship is Magic than with an in-depth study of how to make your writing the best that it can be?
Everfree
Northwest has over a dozen various panels and events all related to
writing, authors, and fanfiction at this year’s convention. Every year,
our writing track lead Silver Quill assembles a suite of fan panelists
to talk about plot, character development, setting, literary merit, and
advanced literary techniques to help turn your stories into art. Fancy
yourself a writer? Then come participate in our two-part Iron Author
competition and see if you've got what it takes to turn out two thousand
words in two hours! We've also got experts to talk about what it takes
to hit the FIMFiction Feature Box, and a bank of pre-readers from
Equestria Daily to talk about what they're looking for in a good story.
Come and see an early screening of the MLP Fan Fiction Documentary,
followed by a Q&A where you can provide direct feedback on the
project. Or if you just want to hang out with your favorite fan fiction
authors, join us for the authors and fans chill out event and relax with
your favorite wordsmiths.
This year, our line-up of fan talent includes:
Silver Quill: Silver
Quill wrote her first novella at age eight and hasn't stopped writing
since. In addition to her pony fic, she's the author of three novels and
has published a number of short stories as well. When not making words
happen, she can usually be found at some convention or another talking
about making words happen with others.
Pen Stroke: Over
his two years as an author for the fandom, Pen Stroke has written over a
dozen stories for the MLP community. With his body of work including
popular stories such as “Past Sins,” “Better Living Through Science and
Ponies,” “Haunting Nightmare,” and the “Moonshine Series,” he has earned
his place as the most watched author on FIMFiction.net.
PK: The
man. The mystery. Just who this is mysterious man? Well, now's your
chance to find out: PK, whose name does not in fact stand for anything,
is the author of “Antipodes,” “Lodestone,” and is Equestria Daily's pet
and its on-again off-again stuff-writer.
Couch Crusader :
CouchCrusader, in his own words, is the product of a cosmic belch and
existential confusion horrified into being. He won his name in 2011 over
eighty-seven non-consecutive days of summer sofa surfing.
Semi-victorious, he is a pre-reader and part-time columnist for
Equestria Daily and is best known for writing "Wingmares" and "Via
Equestria."
Seattle Lite:
Seattle enjoys stalking bad OCs by moonlight and appearing directly
behind you. He’s a triple threat, the author of such fics as “Moving On
“and “Divergence,” Equestria Daily pre-reader team, and FIMFiction mod
all rolled into one cool package.
Horizon:
Horizon is a fanfic author best known for the Equestria
Daily/Vault-featured story “Fugue State” – a romance about mind control
and musical numbers. Returning attendees might also recall “No Regrets”
from the 2012 conbook. With decades of writing and professional editing
experience, his panels are sure to be informative! He lives (with cats,
of course... you can't be a famous author without cats) in a strange
land whose name ends in "-ia".
Piquo Pie: Piquo
Pie is a pre-reader for stories such as “Cry for Eternity” and “Under A
Luminous Sky” and the author of several fics of his own, most notably
comedies such as “And Then Rainbow Dash Was a Colt,
and Ten Other Really Awkward Stories” as well as “T, the Tiniest Troll”
which was recently translated into Russian. He is also working on the
MLP Fan Fiction Documentary 2013 which will take a look at 6 individuals
from the MLP Fan Fiction community and will tell their individual
stories about being a fanfiction author.
Meeester:
An avid proofreader and pre-reader for an extensive list of authors,
Meeester has worked with authors on stories across the entire spectrum
of tags and categories and loved every one of them. He also helps
authors as a Story Approver/Mod on FimFiction.net, where he is one of a
select few users who approve or fail the over 2000 stories submitted to
FimFic each month.
Skywriter:
Skywriter is otherwise known as author and cartoon scriptwriter Jeffrey
C. Wells. He is best known in Pony circles for his short stories
"Princess Celestia Hates Tea," "How to Remove a Unicorn Tooth," and
"Derplicity," as well as the episodic novel "Contraptionology!" He
finds that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
has expanded both his artistic and friendship horizons, but would just
like to point out that he was into rainbows and unicorns before they
were cool.
S. R. Foxley:
A recovering work-a-holic with a foxy personality, S.R. Foxley has been
writing stories here and there for over a decade. He is best known as
the author of “Excerpts from a Filthy Diary.”
totallynotabrony:
Totallynotabrony began his pony career with the story "Battleships are
Magic." Fueled by a 2000-word-per-day writing habit, he has since
followed up with more than sixty stories including military dramas,
crack comedies, horror, and awkward human inserts. His favorite
character is vampire Cheerilee.
