[lying on a bench is a blue winged pony with a pen in her mouth. She is currently staring intently at an magazine in front of her and seems to be in the process of correcting some article on the 'supermoon.' The writing itself is clumsy, but at least it's painstakingly clear.

And yup, there's already a big X mark through the horoscope section. She reaches back over and adds a few more X's over the horoscope for good measure.]

Luna!

[ Have a Twilight trotting over, curious. ]

What are you working on?

[doublethefun]

[muffled:] Twi -

[she pauses to drop the pen onto the magazine. Pens are a lot easier to manage than quill and ink, admittedly.]

Twilight Sparkle. [glancing back at the magazine] I am making corrections, 'though 'tis mainly for mine own benefit.

[seeing how it's already published and all. Oh, and she's working on writing without magic. The need to do so seems to be occurring at a greater frequency.]

[checklist]

Corrections? What needs correcting? [ 'sup, have a Twilight trying to glance at the article. It's a magazine so she can actually read it! ]

[doublethefun]

[she taps an accusing hoof on the horoscope section] This is completely false, if imaginative, while this [points to the article] misrepresents the effect that doth occur when the full moon is at its closest point to the Earth - which is to say, naught of any significance.

[words like 'lycanthropy' and 'erupting volcanoes' are also crossed out.]

[ Twilight scans over the article... and... ]

I don't get it. People actually believe this?

[doublethefun]

[blink. She scans it again.] 'Lest this is a satirical piece, I believe they do. Then again, it is very possible 'tis merely an example of sensationalist journalism.

[checklist]

I... suppose I could see why that would sell. [ GABBY GUMS? ....wait she's not from that far. ]

It still sounds rather silly, though.

[doublethefun]

One cannot underestimate the appeal of a ludicrous story. [like evil mares who can't tell the difference between a pony and a pony in a costume.]

In any case, I am uncertain of the reputation of this periodical. Such inaccuracies may be expected. [the rest doesn't seem that farfetched, but she's only completely sure about this particular article]
