Bizarre Adventures in Equestrian Folklore

   Mike the Red got home from work, inspired to write something truly special.

    "I'm going to write the greatest shipfic ever in recorded human HISTORY!!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

    "Shut up, I'm trying to sleep!" Chrysalis scolded him.

    He ignored her and continued: "This shipfic will be so great, so wonderful, so awesome that scribes and pharisees of the far-flung future will craft homilies of glory and approbation in honor of my mastery and dominance of the written word!  Minstrels and bards some five centuries hence will sing hymns dedicated to the sheer eloquence and magnificence which is this shipfic I am to write!  Literary giants will tremble in awe and fear of the sheer awesomeness-ity which is my true and undeniably awesome awesomeness!  There will be no other shipfics to rival this one in scope and scale!  It will be the standard to which all other shipfics will be measured and found wanting!"

     "Shut UP!  Mike!  SHUT UP!" Chrysalis shouted.  "Honestly!  I don't know WHY I even put up with you!"

     "Come on, Chrysi, you know you love me!" he grinned.

     "You've been planning on writing this shipfic for the past three months!  So go on and write it already!"

     He sat down at the computer desk, a can of Rockstar Brand energy drink in one hand and a slice of the World's Greatest Pizza in the other.  He was all set to start writing until he shouted his frustration.

     "DAMN IT!" he shouted.  He could not type with his hands full.  So he sat down his drink and put his slice of pizza back in its box.  The only reason the pizza place was called World's Greatest was due to the fact that it was the only pizza place on the Changeling Queen's planet.  He gazed at the blank screen feeling a sense of helplessness, a realization of hopelessness came over him.  He was suffering from writer's block.

      "DAMN IT!!" he shouted as he pounded his fists down upon the computer desk, upsetting the can of drink, spilling its contents all over the keyboard.

      "Will you SHUT UP already!" Chrysalis shouted, losing her patience.

      "I need another can of energy drink, Chrysi," he moaned.  "And I need to get another keyboard, this one's fried again."

      "DAMN IT!!" she shouted.  "Not again!"

      "I guess the greatest shipfic ever written in recorded human history is going to have to wait," he grumbled.

      "Are you coming to bed or what?" Chrysalis asked slyly.

      "Yeah, yeah, whatever," he muttered as he made his way upstairs to their bedroom.
