New one-shot story: Spike vs. The Equestrian Fire Code

As those who follow my site blog already know, this is the idea which arose from being in the audience at that one panel. It just turned out to be a much longer idea than I'd thought, because I originally believed this was going to be a fairly quick Comedy/SoL pairing: five to seven thousand words, post and hope for laughs. As-is? The word count came in at 12k and I wound up taking the Comedy tag off, because I wasn't sure there were enough open attempts to humor to justify it. The story emerged as what I felt was just about pure SoL, and with the latest Fun With Doctors involved (blog to come, probably today -- and ETA: it is now up), it took three frequently-interrupted days to write.

But it's in the New column now. And that means I get to turn my attention to the real comedy. Because as we all know, nothing is funnier than a broken rear.

In theory.

In reality, a sacrum fracture doesn't feel very funny at all.
