New Printing Project for the Fanfiction "Stardust"

The same group that ran the campaigns for printed versiosn of Background Pony and Hard Reset have come out with another one for the X-Com crossover-Sci-Fi story "Stardust". Right now they are a few thousand away from their 12,075 goal,  so a small push will get them where they need to be.

The book itself will be leatherbound with a dust jacket, and display with custom art work by Foxinshadow, plus a few bonus books.

If you are someone collecting pony fanfic books, or just want a piece of Stardust, you can find the page for it over here.

Best Gift Ever Releasing 8 Hours Early in the UK

UK TV schedules are showing the upcoming Best Gift Ever Holiday Special as airing 8 hours before it airs in the USA, at 10:00 AM GMT+1.  I suppose it's better than it releasing a week early in Italian or something random.

We will keep you posted if France or Australia decided to pop in with an even earlier release. If the previous season was any indication,  they love one-upping eachother.

Thanks to Silver Quill for the heads up.

I wonder why Dashie is trying to avoid eye contact? Is she trying to avoid looking at someone she might like?

Music: Koron Korak - Vicious Circle Until Inner Emptiness [Dark Ambient]

Whilst Koron might be best known for his lovely violin abilities, he's been working on producing his own works too, and this one is certainly quite unique. An 18 minute experience that's as much an art piece as a work of music, the ambient atmosphere sends chills through the system, aided along by some pretty scary imagery later on in the video as the pony becomes consumed by the darkness of the forest and its inhabitants. Check it out below if you're up for that!
