Ponies!

Rebecca Enzor of Stickynote Stories is hosting a My Little Ponies contest and everyone should go check it out!

The contest is to make a pony based on one of your own characters and the prize is to have the pony actually made! Eee!


I got so into the contest I ended up making three ponies:


Jacob is nice and tan because he lives in the desert. I'm in the middle of this WIP and don't want to give too much away, but I will tell you that Jacob's job has a lot to do with death- check out that cutie mark ;)

Kira is Jacob's leading lady. She too lives in the desert, but she burns easily and doesn't have that nice tan skin that Jacob does. She has the North Star for a cutie mark because she knows the stars like the back of her hand and uses them to navigate during the night. She's one mournful girl who needs a little happy in her life (cue Jacob).

This beauty is Farrah, the main character of my fantasy YA. She lives in a mountain (hence the cutie mark and pale skin). She's one tough cookie and takes her life and job very seriously (she's a bodyguard for the prince).

So, which one do you guys like? Which one do you think I should use in the contest??




(p.s. I stole the poll idea from Beth Revis who has some amazing ponies up on her blog too, go check 'em out.)

Also, I just found out I won second place in Rachael Harrie's flash fiction contest- the first part of her Campaigner Challenge. Y'all should have heard me squealing when I found out. I'm ridiculously proud of that piece. She's now my favorite and all my other WIP's are jealous :D

  1. Team Jacob 4 Life!!

    Oh wait. Wrong Jacob. (Looks just like him, though...)

    Farrah is perfect! This is such a hard choice for me - usually I have to support the ethnic one, but you've nailed Farrah spot on with those eyes lol.

  6. I'm in your YA/MG campaigner group and ashamed I'm still getting around to visiting everyone :( but you have another new follower now! Read your winning entry and I do like Grrump and his bossy charge :) I like that you can tell a lot about a character from a pony's beauty mark - the death's head definitely won me over :)

  7. First, congrats on winning Second in the Campaign Challenge! That's so awesome :D

    Second: you can enter all three ponies (as a group) but can only receive one as a custom :) So feel free to enter all three as part of your book!

  8. Couldn't decide, so I didn't vote.

    Kira knows the stars like the back of her hand. Shouldn't that be her hoof?

  9. Nice ponies. I'll admit that I'm not this huge animal lover, but cartoons I can handle. ;)

    Also, I think you won POSSESSION, yeah? Congrats on the win! And can you email me your mailing address so I can send it out? Thanks!

  13. Congratulations on your award. I was too pressed for time (translation: lazy) to submit an entry myself. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll be sure to post something about castles soon.

  14. Congrats on your award! I have this thing against flash fiction, since all my stories end up wanting to be novels :), so I skipped the first challenge--but I did enter the second!

    I voted for Jacob because ilikedthe contrast between the innocent smile and the skull/crossbones on his flank. These were fun!

  15. It was really hard to choose a favourite but I ended up voting for Farrah.

  16. Aw, I love the Farrah pony, and actually, love the story behind all three of these characters!

  17. Jacob is so cute: innocent with a dash of danger.
