>>23490912

Could I make a late submission? D:

I've been lazy with my writing.

>>23491072
Cheer up! Tomorrow will be ship free!

Maybe.

I have Cheerilee too but I honestly don't like her toy that much so she's still in the bag.

>>23491090
sure go post it in the comment section of the blog, I haven't checked comments in about an hour so i'll probably throw it up with a few other things.

Shipping will never die.

Because the best ship is friendship!

What if there was a MLP MMORPG? I mean, seriously, how would that work? Unless you could open up a shop and stuff, ha ha...

>>23491110
There is no day that is ship free with ponies.

So Sergeant Sprinkles, did you write that story with Applebloom?

>>23491124

Kay, might be a few hours.

>>23491110

I'm not mad about it. But I think I'm gonna hold off posting anything new for a while because of today.

>>23491134
You could just make a farmville-like thing right? Go work on getting apples or do stuff in the stores in town. Could be pretty fun/not that hard to make.

Okay, here's chapter 5 for Stuck, if anyone's interested. I'll also repost it tomorrow as well.

Oh blogpony, I have a summary for Stuck finally.
A /co/mrade finds himself in the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Will he ever get back home, or will he be stuck in a fantasy forever?
The googledoc is already updated.

er oh yah there are 3 to upload apparently.

anyone have a good spike/big mac image? I don't really have any of those for this story. not shipping just those 2.

in return, best wallpaper evar.

this is some bullshit

>>23491050
Update it please; there are at least two things I see in the comment section that you haven't uploaded yet.

Someone requested this in the previous thread.

So, out of all the Valentine's Day fanworks, which were your favorites?

Pic related for me.

>>23491167
>>23491167
Hopefully it wouldn't be a copy though, I can't stand games like that :s Plus, I'd rather go around killing Dragons with my Horn.

What's the Flockdraw you guys?

And hopefully you non shippers weren't too angry about this event. I apologize, it was valentines day though, so it was my duty as a news gatherer to post it all!

what is /co/'s opinion on the /b/ threads?

>>23491202
Well sure not a copy, but working from a template would make it at lot easier to make/learn

>>23491189
Yesss, thanks man!

>>23491165

lol'd at the hand

>>23491171

No kiddin (horsing around?), who did this?

>>23491220
i endured by ignoring most of it
i really just....don't get shipping for this show, at all

>>23491072
AJ, you said you read all the fics... what did you think of Pony Feathers?

>>23491223
Trolls trolling trolls trolling ponies.

>>23491191
Sompony Loves You, Princess Luna is hands-down the best, imo. Gave me the warm fuzzies.

2nd attempt

In human form I want to see rommels 7th panzer division invading equestria and the Germans winning any takers?

>>23491245
You're not alone.

>>23491220
i ignored it.

>>23491245

Same. For some reason I can't view anything MLP in a genuine romantic light.

Who posted ponies on /v/? Do we really need to go to other boards?

I say neigh!

>>23491134

It could be like The Endless Forest, except with ponies and ponyville...

>>23491220
Oh it's no big deal. Fanfiction is fanfiction, no matter the content. There were lots of non-shippy works the sprouted up yesterday as well.

>>23491241

Madmax.

I've seen shippier days

But I got like, 4 things drawn for me today so I'm super happy

In honor of awards season, anonymous presents...

THE FIRST EVER WRITEPONY AWARDS

>WHY?

Someponies never quite realize how much other writeponies do. All the writing, all the requesting, and all the developing. This is to honor those who have dedicated the past few months to their storytelling of some of our favorite ponies. Oh, and for fun. Don't you ponies ever do things just for fun anymore?

>HOW DOES IT WORK?

There will be eleven categories in contention. They are:

- Best Story: Drama
- Best Story: Comedy
- Best Short Story
- Best Writefriend
- Best Writing of the Ensemble
- Best Main Recurring Character in a Leading Role
- Best Main Recurring Character in a Supporting Role
- Best Original or Secondary Character in a Leading Role
- Best Original or Secondary Character in a Supporting Role
- Best Writing: Original Story
- Best Writing: Adapted Story

If you want another category that's not listed, speak up! There will be a calendar for each phase of the competition. It is as follows (subject to change):

Campaign: February 15th-19th
Nomination Phase: February 20th-27th
Nominations Announcement: Tuesday, March 1st, 2 AM Pacific
Voting Phase: March 1st-7th
Awards Ceremony: Wednesday, March 9th

Once the nominations phase starts, an e-mail address will be given out. Those who want to are then welcome to e-mail that address with their nomination choices. More information on that later. Writeponies are welcome to campaign their own stories for consideration in the various categories during this time period, be it in /co/, on ED, or wherever. Don't just be overly obnoxious about it; one FYC post per every single thread is going a little overboard.

>>23491279

>>23491147

So, I'm finally writing a fanfic of my own. Goodness, I never thought I would. I'll post it in a few maybe.

penis

>>23491335

>FYC?

For your consideration. Posters, text, whatever; get out what categories you want your story to be considered for!

>Won't this put down some of the other writeponies who don't get nominations?

The idea behind this isn't to make others feel bad. It's to celebrate those who have done an extraordinary job in the writing for the fandom thus far, as well as expose those who have not gotten much recognition, but surely have a load of talent. Those who don't get nominated should strive their hardest to write the best that they can in the chance that this happens again.

>Best Main Recurring character? Whuzzat?

Characters Eligible for Main Recurring Character:

Apple Bloom
Applejack
Celestia
Fluttershy
Pinkie Pie
Rainbow Dash
Rarity
Spike
Twilight Sparkle

This means that characters such as Big Mac, Luna, Gilda, Trixie, etc. would be entered under the Best Original or Secondary Character categories.

>How long does my story have to be?

BOTTOM LINE: See the word count information below to see which category your story fits under. If a story is under 1,000 words, it is ineligible. Because of their short length, short stories are not eligible for character awards. They are, however, eligible for writing.

1,000 - 3,499 (5,999) : Best Short Story
3,500 + : Best Story - Comedy
6,000 + : Best Story - Drama

>How do I know if my story is original or adapted?

An original story is one that you came up with all on your own, whereas an adaptation would be another story or idea taken from outside the series itself and put into the fandom. FOR INSTANCE: the story where the ponies discover /co/ would be eligible under BEST WRITING: ADAPTED STORY, as it was taken from ideas that the whole of /co/ had when they asked what would happen if the ponies found out about /co/. If your story is inspired by something, it would also go under Adapted.

Good luck to all, and have fun!

>>23491283
me too. that's why i like the apple family. it's the only subject matter that has any canon compassion beyond just close friends.

>>23491335

>writepony awards

Great... just what we need

Something else to polarize us

>>23491274
Or this could be a story

>>23491335

BUT WHATS THE REWARD?!

>>23491270

That's another one of my favorites.

>>23491170
added it, uploaded a story, and....I cant seem to find anything else yo!

I'm going to bed everybody. Goodnight.

>>23491214

>What's the Flockdraw you guys?

That is a good question.

>>23491349
This is such a bad idea I want you jump into the Internet and strangle you to death.

>>23491335
>>23491349
I can actually feel the bad coming off this idea.

>>23491335

I don't think we should be doing this

also did anyone ever colored this

>>23491335
This seems like it is almost as bad an idea as making a tier list.
Perhaps even worse, given that it seems like it this going to last for almost a month

>>23491245
I agree with you, honestly. Almost every single character has so far shown themselves to be asexual beings, aside from perhaps Rarity, who expressed her desire to find the perfect pony husband, and spike who gets flutters around said Rarity.

Seriously, let's stop sexualizing innocence. Enough of that goes on in the real world. You think more people would be sick of it by now.

>>23491335

...This strikes me as kind of a dumb idea.

>>23491050
I spent the day with my boyfriend... He refuses to watch MLP.

What's wrong with him? How can I convince him to watch it with me?

>>23491335

no awards for drawfags?

Best Pony? THE SQUALL METAL ALCHEMIST of course.

>>23491368

What do you think, genius?

Cock slapping.

>>23491335
>>23491349
this could be worse than dinosaurs and ponies.
....i think it is

>>23491426
What would be the point of that? I can already tell you who the winners are going to be.

>>23491335
>>23491349

As curious as I am for seeing where I would place (if at all), this is an absolutely terrible idea.

>>23491418
>You think more people would be sick of it by now.
Pretty much any other time people complain about shipping they are immediately dismissed as trolls and given the same old "hatersgonnahate.png" spiel.

Even popular tags are pushing it (I might remove them)

I think a reward show would really kill stuff.

Hey can you faggots keep your shit off of other boards? When you raid other boards with this bullshit it makes /co/mrades look just as bad as you Ponyfags. /v/ and the other boards are going to be pissed at us because you're spamming them.

>>23491444

tell me more

/r/ing Gilda with a mustache.

>>23491393
Thanks, Seth. At least you noticed...

Well, I'm off to bed. Maybe I'll sleep int a bit tomorrow.

>>23491480
I cannot control what others do anymore than you can

>>23491451
i feel the same way.

>>23491400

I guess it's probably a recipe for drama.

But personally, I'd love for a way to separate the wheat from the chaff of the fic writers. If this can help me identify the stuff that's worth reading...

>>23491452
Well what would you like to hear?
"Oh yes Anonymous, you're so right. I'd never thought about it like that before, but I now see eye to eye with you completely."

On the internet?
Seriously?
Why even bother to post emotional appeals to the anonymous masses?
It's like a baby crying back at home when his mother has already boarded the flight to Vegas.

>>23491452

>Pretty much any other time people complain about shipping they are immediately dismissed as trolls and given the same old "hatersgonnahate.png" spiel.

That is because the most vocal of the MLP community that dislikes all the shipping come off as very annoying and bratty. A good example would be Dino Fag.

>>23491349
>>23491335

Creator of this here. Due to all the reaction, I'll make it a no-go. The idea behind it was fun and a celebration of the writing, as well as a way to honor those who do such a good job, but I guess I went about it the wrong way.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

guys... i'm write well and i want to go for the contest, but i don't think there should be any placings. i'd feel like pretty bad if i didn't place. i'd like the idea that if we sent a story, everyone wins. keep it nice and keep it simple.

>>23491509

No, but you faggots can keep your shit here and try not to piss off other boards. You fuckwits went to /b/ and it resulted in this: >>23490060

Now you're on /v/ spamming them with fucking roleplay about a video game that doesn't even exist. Just knock that shit off.

>>23491549

Well, /b/ is kinda random. Everything's on topic for it.

Keeping out of other boards is a good idea though, no matter how cool Rapidash Twilgiht is on a /vp/

>>23491549
second

First time actually watching this.

My god.

Its... its... adorable... like powerpuff girls... can't stop watching

>>23491515
>If this can help me identify the stuff that's worth reading...

No. That is why we have a blog to sort everything out already.

It's one thing to praise eachother with positive reviews and constructive criticism. It's a completely other thing to parade the 'best' fics around like it's the Academy Awards.

>>23491575
welcome to friendship!!

>>23491575

>>23491575
Welcome to the herd.

>>23491527
Ehh, keep a draft. Maybe there could be something in the blog for contesting later on.

>>23491515
the grand WRITEPONY ALLIANCE is working on this

now if only we could get a board or something to do it in

>>23491595

Fuck you and your ponies

>>23491575

And it has bouts of action and violence like PPG as well

>>23491570

Yeah and you dragged a bunch of /b/tards here. Half of them probably actually like this shit, but the other half are just going to end up trolling the rest of it. When /v/ or the other boards comes into your threads and trolls the fuck out of you don't say I didn't warn you. And when the rest of /co/ freaks the fuck out on you because you got us raided don't say I didn't warn you about that either.

>>23491574

I'm actually shocked that one of you are sensible. Just keep this shit here and on /toy/. I don't think that's unreasonable to ask.

everyone... this pony group is a communist ideal oriented group. no fights. no greed. no vanity. everyone sharing with one another. happiness all around. no one forcefully rising above the other. it's perfect. it really is.

>>23491575

Have fun.

>>23491549
I am not doing that /v/ thing you speak of, and me telling them to stop does as good as you telling them to stop

>>23491639
we could... post child porn on it and try to get it off the boards... its just an idea..

>>23491083

>>23491249

sorry for the late reply. (my reason) Had to get cleaned up. I woke up not too long ago

Anything specific you're looking for in feedback?

>>23491621

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

>>23491633

except for the sex-crazed, power-mad dictator at the heart of it.

what we need is another friend off thing like before
or maby something to counter the shiping thats gone on today
like drawfags try and create the cutest pic they can without shiping

>>23491628
Trust me when I say it Mr. Sage. It's your own kind that infect your board with ponies. Any respectable fan would keep it here. You should rethink your accusations somewhere else. Sorry for the inconvenience of your thread.

>>23491633
keep your commie talk to yourself, Ivan

>>23491575
Hoofallelujah!

>>23491653
I don't have any child porn though

>>23491668
saying communism is dictatorship is like saying Iran during the corrupt elections was a democracy.

>>23491639

This is one of the many reasons everyone fucking hates you people. The "It wasn't me so I don't care." attitude you faggots have. You get all in a huff because you have to have MLP generals, but every other fandom with a very popular show/whatever has the decency to make General threads to contain the content out of courtesy because they know if they didn't there'd be a flood of threads, accusations of spam, drama, etc. But no, you fuckers act like you're special little snowflakes and shit like rules and respect for others doesn't apply because holy fucking shit how dare you judge me for what I don't like.

Get over yourselves you fucking aspies.

>>23491671
or maybe something like a "grand-off"....i guess?

the objective would be to invoke emotion without any shipping. the problem being that most will just go sprikles on it and go off the grimdark deepend instead of seriously considering their writing
>mfw

Derpy Hooves is a coldhearted pony. I left a valentine in an envelope addressed to her at the post office when she was out.
I later found it unopenned in my mailbox, marked as 'insufficient postage'.

>>23491701

and yet, there's no other way to describe Celestia's reign.

i suppose "military institution" works, but it's so much less eloquent.

>>23491722
Did you forget the postage stamp?

>>23491701
yeah
except for the fact that pretty much every single communist state to ever exist always _ALWAYS_ has a discatorship with its boot on the populace's collective throat.

i have no idea how communism fans seem to ignore that.

>>23491633

>communist ideal oriented group

maximum overtroll. should be more subtle next time

>>23491726
its called a monarchy. the people are serfs either indebted to the monarch or have sworn loyalty to her.

>>23491702
No, it's the "It wasn't me and there's nothing I can do about it."

So... Next Friend Off on Monday the 28th?

Unthemed this time and returning to the traditional rules we used in the first one.

>>23491702
0/10

troll harder

>>23491702
It's 4chan, no one gives a fuck about anyone elses opinion.

>>23491702

>>23491702

>>23491673
If this were a real commercial I would switch to Geico in a heartbeat.

ACTUALLY FUCK IT, QUICK QUESTION
ANYONE KNOW A RELIABLE WAY TO GET /co/ BANNED FOR ABOUT TWO DAYS?

i need to get some work done, and actually do these drawfriend requests instead of sitting in pony threads doing nothing

>>23491673

I'm a /co/mrade you fuckwit.

>>23491737

chillax brosef it was ye olde troll. Anyone who watches the show has seen Equestria features privately owned land, businesses, FARMS, currency, blah blah,

>>23491767
There's a list of auto-ban methods on ED. Careful, though, some are perma-bans.

>>23491748
this

altho double points if no shiping

Where is this blog you speak of?

>>23491702
We can bitch at the tools who post ponies on other boards all goddamn day, but it's not going to stop them from continuing to be giant tools.

>>23491702

>>23491779
Wait, we're awarded points?

>>23491768
Well then what's the problem here? Ponies on /co/? Seems fine to me.

>>23491702

im gonna have to back you up on this one

guys, stop inciting shit with other boards

Everything is fine here on /co/, we dont need to do anything else

Nathan.

Bees are on the what now?

>>23491797

nope but we are now

FINALLY!!

Scooting Along is finished!

Have I missed Madmax? It was her birthday request after all. I hate it's so belated, but I digress.

Here it is!:

I have really proof read it yet, but it's done at least! I'll be doing that now.

>>23491810
Characterization and plot, as well as overall reaction. Also mention any specific likes or dislikes you had.

>>23491824

you're fast.

equestria is capitalist in some form. What are you talking about communism? Applejack was SELLING apples in that one episode. If it was communism all of her apples would be split among the populous and whatever initiative she would have to farm would die out. The only person who doesn't seem to do any work is twilight. She's in like permanent study.

>>23491767

Post a banned URL like a.n.o.n.talk dot whatever.

>>23491824
fucking what

>>23491816
alliance of writers dedicated to structural criticism of pony work, keeping the fic flow from becoming a downpour, and bettering our own work.

the difficulty will be avoiding circlejerk.

Is madmax around?

i wasn't speaking of economic or governmental ideals. i was speaking of cutural and community ideals. if you have ever done a study on Native American culture, you would know what i mean. pre-columbus as well.

>>23491823
yaay uploading, do you have a summary/tags you want for it?

>>23491856
First I've heard of it. But then I've been off the interwebs since Thursday. Where might this sea be located?

>>23491800

Yes. As much as I hate them, Ponies on /co/ are fine. They're also fine on /toy/. And technically they'd be fine on /b/. But when you start going to /tg/ and /v/ and where the fuck ever else you go and start up threads you're raiding them with unwanted spam. It would be like if /b/ decided to come into these threads and flood them with horse porn. Yes, it's the same fucking thing.

>>23491856
Circle-jerk can and will be avoided if we can get a dedicated site where only accounts are required to post. Someone wanted to make an entire site for it, I suggested makinf a forum on fanfictin.net.

>>23491896
we're kind of sort of in the middle of organization.
please for the love of god do not share this link openly. pop in and say a few words then forget about it.
we're trying to avoid letting the cat out of the bag too quickly, but anon feedback should be welcomed

http://fim.413chan.net/oatmeal/res/84.html

>>23491913
/tg/ is traditional games, right? Like where Ruby's Quest came from? Couldn't you male a Pony Quest and be within the rules?

>>23491927
>fanfictin.net.
eww
all i have to say on the subject
but if the features of such a forum setup become tantalizing enough...

>>23491927

You have a fucking Ponychan. You have an image board on baaaawchan. You even have blogs and fucking fan devoted forums. We both know you wouldn't leave or even cut down on the amount of MLP shit threads you lot make if you had another whole site devoted to this bullshit.

>>23491913
Agree

reaction images are fine too

>>23491395

You son of a whore. You got me again.

>>23491824
Nice! I was still thinking of giving it a shot and you got it made.

>>23491913
I'm not sure why people keep blaming us for the pony spamming on other boards. If you'd have paid attention, you would have noticed that that crap didn't really start until /b/ discovered the show. Combine that with /b/'s love of raiding other boards, and it's far more likely to be their handiwork than ours. /co/ bronies have gone to a lot of trouble with this general system and the archive to try and keep ponies to one thread at a time. I don't see /b/ doing anything like that.

In other words: bitching at us isn't going to solve anything, because we're not responsible.

>>23491913
I understand where you're coming from, caring about what other boards think and all, and I believe everyone agrees with you

>>23491944

Nope. The game doesn't exist. Just like the 'video game' you're posting about in /v/. Also /tg/ actually has mods and janitors that delete on topic threads and content in /tg/, so enjoy your bans when you decide not to take my advice.

>>23491824

Can you redo it real quick without the bandaids?

>>23491958
The hatred for FF.net is nothing but a knee-jerk reaction, I'm convinced. As far as utility goes for both authors and readers, it surpasses even Google Docs by a mile.

Was I the only one that caught the hint of a Russian accent when Rarity was wallowing in Suited for Success? I wonder where that came from...

ITT
Lumping everyone together

>>23491913
Well whoever is doing it obviously either originally came from those threads or just likes pissing off other threads because they know butthurt will ensue.

Actual fans here would NEVER think of spreading this shit. If they're coming from here, they're not welcome. It's anonymous man, we can't control it. Sorry.

>>23491709

>implying grimdark can't be serious writing

>>23491982

You get the blame because /co/ Ponyfags migrated to /b/ when they got butthurt about temp bans and other shit. This skirting responsibility for your actions thing, is that something that happens in the cartoon? Because all of you do it.

Cause and effect:

You go to /b/. You post this shit there. They come here and elsewhere knowing it causes shitstorm. Congratulations, the trolls are nearly indistinguishable from your actual fandom. You now have no one to blame for it other than yourselves.

>>23492018
I think Rarity is going for the kind of dated trans-Atlantic accent.

>>23491824

>>23492011
done

>>23492059

c'mon, man. be cool.

>>23491958
Then you've obviously never seen the forum setups they have. They are fool-proof and easily organize. Also, unless if you're looking for pony, you'll never find it on there.

>>23492040
didn't say it coudn't be
i used grimdark deepend as a way to express the practice of, instead of working your story to have an emotional impact, putting in shocking or overly dark material. most writers do it without thinking

sprinkles is the biggest offender, but the first few bits of his stuff were probably just a joke anyway

>>23492011

Its fine the way it is you greedy bastard.

>>23492059

I endorse this kind of trolling

Okay, for some reason this picture makes me want to write a fanfic. I just like the idea. It's my first fanfic ever too, I'm finally joining the fanfic herd. It's not finished, here's what I have so far. If you don't mind me posting a fic, here we go.

~~~
It was another beautiful day in Ponyville, as Twilight and her friends trotted about joyfully. The pegasus ponies had cleared the sky, and the sun was shining warmly. The six friends couldn't help but enjoy themselves as the laughed and played. But to one of them, something felt out of place. Twilight Sparkle couldn't shake the feeling that she had failed to notice something important. Confused, she began to look around, as if she were lost.
"Are you alright, Twilight?" Asked Fluttershy
Twilight looked into the faces of her friends, then down at her self.
"I.. are we ... are we ponies?" She asked as she held out an unsteady hoof.

And with a jolt, Twilight awoke in her bed. For a moment, she did nothing but stare at her bedroom wall. Then cautiously she raised her hands to her face to examine them. Ten fingers, tipped with nails adorned in purple nail polish. She felt her forehead for the presence of a horn, but there was none.
"Spike, Spike! Wake up!" She called out, as she ran to the young boy in small bed across the room.
"Fuzl, hunh?" Spike stuttered, as he slowly sat up in bed.
"Spike, I'm having them again, those dreams where everyone is a pony!"
Spike just stared for a moment, then, with a loud yawn, went back to sleep.

>>23492059
Dude, why do you change your name like every week?

I love that you draw on pretty much everything I like though. Just so DAMN good. Too bad that flash thing never happened, huh?

>>23492110
The next morning, Twilight was diligently sifting through her books. She had a number of books on dream analysis, and was searching for answers. As she climbed down the rolling ladder, she could hear her friends approaching outside.
"Hah, first one here, I beat you again, Applejack!" cheered Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah, yeah. Aint real hard tah do when you ain't carryin' a bushel of apples."
"Complain, complain. I can't hear you all the way up here in first place."
"Twilight, hey girl, it's me an' Dash." Applejack called out as they entered the library. "Ah had some nice apples leftover from the harvest, though ah'd bring some over for ya."
"Thank you Applejack, that's sweet of you. Just set them anywhere, I guess."
"Hey, you alright Twilight? You don't look too good." Asked Rainbow Dash.
"She was up all night talking about ponies again." Grumbled Spike, as he entered the room clutching a bowl of cereal. He was half asleep and still in his pajamas as he sat down on a stack of books and began eating away.

okay...just know that I don't think my critiques are worth squat...but then again I hate giving out my opinions


>Characterization

It was good. Rainbow Dash was fine but her friendliness towards Fluttershy in the beginning reminded a bit of Pinkie Pie. The hop, skip, and jump didn't help that any.

I thought your Fluttershy was great though. She was outwardly shy and reserved, but that little bit of annoyance you heard from her when Pinkie Pie said "auntie" in Griffon the Brush-off was there in her thoughts.

She could have been a bit more reluctant about flying though.

>Plot

Not much I can say about that. You said what you were going to do and you did it without any straying. Though I do think Fluttershy's flying was a bit rushed.

>Overall Reaction

It was good. Cute. Simple. I didn't d'aww or hnnnggg ridiculously, but I rarely do over these fics.

>Specific likes and dislikes

Dislike - Flutterby (but it's no big deal)
Like - Fluttershy's inner annoyances that she didn't voice

Did I mention I hate giving out my opinions? I always feel like what I'm saying is wrong or that I'll make the other person feel like shit.

>>23492059
I like this guy.

>>23492128
"Hoo boy, the pony dreams again, huh? Been a while since ya had one'a those."
"Yeah, I still don't understand what they mean. I even ordered some of the latest sleep study journals to read, but it just doesn't seem to make any sense."
"Look, no offense Twi, but I don't see why this bothers you so much" Dash said, as she helped herself to an apple. "It's not like these dreams are scary or creepy, right? If anything they sound kinda cool. I like the sound of having wings."
"I know Dash, it's just that I can't get them off my mind when I have them. It's like, there's something there that I need to understand, but I'm just not seeing what it is."
"Well, maybe you just don't like ponies or something."
"To be honest, I've never even seen a pony, not in person anyway. I've read about them though."
"That don't surprise me none. Listen sugercube, maybe if you saw some ponies up close it'd help clear yer head. You aughta go talk to Fluttershy, she's got some ponies comin' in later."
"What, really? I didn't know she kept large animals like that"
"Well, she doesn't really have room for `em yet at her place, so me and Big Mac are gonna keep em at the farm for a while."

>>23492006

People like to take popular shit and drive it all over 4chan man, this is nothing new. Somebody ruined the season finale to Showtime's Dexter for me in a thread on /v/. I couldn't even avoid it, it was the opening thread post and I saw it as I was scrolling. It was created just to spoil things, nothing else. A troll from /tv/ no doubt.

Panty & Stocking was all over 4chan for a long time too. The only reason you see ponies constantly is because it is even more popular, but the same thing applies. Popular stuff can and will leak out on 4chan. It's the way it is, so either deal with it or leave. I don't know what you hope to accomplish by being a fussy baby in here.

>>23492137
As she glanced down at the medical journal in her arms, Twilight felt comforted that she had friends who cared for her. She felt a bit of confidence, maybe Applejack was right.
"okay, I'll stop by and see Fluttershy. Thank you."
"I still say those dreams sound kinda fun. And I can just imagine this little guy as a baby dragon" said Rainbow Dash as she mussed Spike's hair, to which he could only grumble in response
"He's certainly got the right attitude for it, doesn't he?"
After a friendly laugh together, Twilight bid Applejack and Rainbow Dash farewell.
"Oh yeah, don't forget Rarity wanted to see you today too. She needs to finish your outfit for the Galla." Dash yelled back as she walked away. With that, Twilight went back into the library and climbed back up the rolling ladder. With a kick, the ladder slid across the shelves, rolling to a stop in front of the P section. She ran her fingers along the spines of the books, and finally pulled one from the shelf. It was a well worn hardcover book titled "My Little Pony-an owner's guide to ponies and pony grooming".
"Okay, get dressed Spike. You've got places to go."
That's all I've got so far. I was just doing my best to write each character appropriately and create an interesting hook. I've got more in the works, plus some Oh Snap moments coming up. For instance, Fluttershy gets exactly six ponies to tend to. Guuuueeeesssss what they'll look like?

>>23492112
>lovestospooge

Anyway, i can't fap to art from people that I have conversed with in some way.

>>23492110
cool idea;
human twilight dreams of ponies
pony twilight dreams of being a human
possibly work with the concept of dreams being experiences across parallel universes or something?

wait no that idea is terrible don't do it

>>23492134
Thanks! Any and all feedback is valuable and cherished!

>>23492151
I am very glad that does no affect me, because I like my requests and feedback

>>23492006

>>23492134
Wait, have you read EVERY fic? Or just the ones for the ship-off?

Not looking for feedback, just curious.

>>23492134
>Did I mention I hate giving out my opinions? I always feel like what I'm saying is wrong or that I'll make the other person feel like shit.

solution;

post critiques as anon, and be a little rough about it.

>>23492052
>>23492023

>>23492054

Does that accent include turning "want" into "vant?"

Since everyone in the flockdraw fell asleep after this, i might as well post it.

>>23492180

I can't keep track of ALL of them, though not for lack of trying. I've just read all of the ones for the ship-off.

>>23492226

Which is your favorite?

>>23492145
I like this...a lot. I can assure you that I will be looking for the rest of this in the future.

you guys should know Something Awful has banned all pony threads, so you may see an influx of ponyfan refugees soon

>>23492183
Yeah, that helps about making people feel like shit.

>>23492253
I believe we've already been getting them.

>>23492253

Who gives a fuck? It's SA.

>>23492253
I heard. Not sure what the story is on that.

>>23492258

It'd rather get an honest critique than phony praise.

>>23492226
That's still quite impressive. I only found the time to read two today.

>>23492253
we already have been, you guys wont shut the fuck up about it.

>>23492267
this, tragically

>>23492273
because it's a cartoon for girls

that's it

I need to draw some ponies. SOMEONE GIVE ME SOMETHING QUICK TO DRAW SO I CAN SLEEP!

I NEED SLEEP BECAUSE I NEED TO GET UP SO I CAN GET MARVEL VS. CAPCOM IN THE MORNING!

>>23492253

Hopefully that includes more artists or bros that can stream on friday

>thread on /v/
>hereticfags take over

they put soo much effort in it, give them that false hope.

I'm enjoying this story keep writing its sounds good

Crap, apparently this cold medicine is making me fall asleep. I didn't know it was for sleeping!

I'll update whatever else when I wake up I guess, stupid cold medicine.

Ha! More fans.

Pony thread will approach 88 miles an hour at this rate.

Night bronies.

>>23492301
i was told there were cosplay pics involved.

>>23492232

aw man...uh...there was this one grimdark one with their human versions where Twilight was Celestia and Luna's daughter. Yeah it was shipping, but I liked the idea because of the whole Twilight being between day and night thing.

I like the idea of orphan Twilight as well, though not the one fic that someone wrote where Celestia named her.

Damn...there's actually more I like but I can't remember them all at the moment. Most of the time when I like something though, I like the idea it presents and how well the author wrote it.

>>23492244
Thanks, I'm still working on it but I'll post it here once it done.

I'd love to hear any criticism you guys have too. I know it's not much to read yet, but I'm open to whatever.

>>23492093
the period stuff was gross out humor, except the one with applejack, which was meant to be just uncomfortable
Cupcakes is and always will a hyper charged shipping parody
so your right
personally, i like pulp

>>23492335

Night Slywit!

>>23492309

Zero holding Trixie in one arm and giving a thumbs-up.

>>23492258
see
>>23492288

tearing into writefriends for no reason and no suggestions = bad
being rough with their work, suggesting alternatives while pointing out strong points = GOOD, PLEASE GIVE US MORE OF THIS OH MY GOD PLEASE

>>23492357
That's right. You posted Scooting Along today?

I shall have to read it! I am quite excited for the subject matter. Poke me tomorrow if you see me on. I might forget as I write chapter 2 to Paradise (maybe) tomorrow.

>>23492309

Draw Twilight and Trixie touching horns

They should be 'making a spark' eh?

>>23492352
Well for starters...how many people do you know with the name Fluttershy? Personal opinion I think it would make more sense to kinda...humanize their names if you will. At least in the waking world.

>>23492301
You realize that's the core reason behind all these attacks on our threads/fandom in general ever, honestly.
By liking this show we're standing up for everything Lauren is all about.

>>23492339
cosplay shit happens all the time

>>23492309
>>23492325
Or just a lineup of their "oh!" faces

>>23492288
Obviously. But he's concerned about his critique making someone feel like shit, going anonymous won't help. What would help, would be pointing out what to improve, instead of just criticizing.

>>23492382

Sure thing!

I'll be going through the backlog of stories I have to read tomorrow as well! So I'll try to leave you a comment!

>>23492346
This one?

It was ok, but not up to Butterscotch Sundae's usual standard.

I wish I could eat Pinkie Pie's pinkie pie. I bet it smells and tastes just like cotton candy.

>>23492325
Weird.
>>23492359
What in god's name.....
>>23492383
Maybe later.

Drawing Gummy in a "Don't Give a Fuck" pose

>>23492059

>>23492409

Sounds to me he's more worried about somebody overreacting to his honest critique, and holding it against him.

I know that's why I critique anonymously.

>>23492430

But which Pie is Pinkie's Pinkie Pie?

say that out loud over and over real fast

>>23492430
I wish I could get at Rarity's treasure

>>23492421

-nods-

I envy her ability at times.

Goodnight everypony.

Thanks for all the feedback!

>>23492418
Ugh, don't remind me. Today was like an avalanche of fanfic. And the sad thing is that most of them are probably good! I can't weed them out in some easy way.

>>23492355
>a hyper charged shipping parody
oh, THAT was the intention?
ha! it works well like that. well done sprinkles

>>23492469

night nathan

>>23492258
There's a differenct between criticising and constructive criticism.

Instead of just saying "this part sux" say something like "this part can be rewitten clearer so it makes sense"

Oh, and for anypony who drawfriends, my Doctor Whoof/Twilight request is still up for anyone who wants to take it. Though it's pretty much not valentines anywhere anymore.

>>23492447

No love for Zero? I thought you were getting Marvel VS Capcom?

>>23492384
Yeah, I was thinking about that actually. Their names don't always make a lot of sense to begin with, at least not compared to traditional names. I just stuck with their normal names for familiarity for now.

>>23492499

Hasnt really been your lucky day for requests has it Squeek?

i think i know what my writing problem is and see if anyone else shares it. i very heavy on plot but shaky on story. i get wired up on an idea but then can't figure out how to tell it.

>>23492386
Meh. Lauren schmauren.

Came for the drama. Stayed for the friendship.

>>23492490

Hey AJ! How's the writing going?

Also, whatever happened to the character albums?

>>23492487
>>23492469

I just go one at a time, Slywit, one at a time. Though doing that I fear I may drown! Our pond seems to have become an ocean!

Night Nathan! I liked your story!

>>23492487
I posted chapter 5 SlyWit. Wanna be the first to probably read it?

>>23491170

>>23492511
SOLUTION;
their names are simply nick names they use amongst themselves.

you could touch upon their actual names from time to time to make this apparent

Last minute fixes are done.

Links break so easily with blogger.

I'm off to bed, later. I'll fix everything else tomorrow.

>>23492430

Man, I wish I could get my hands on Spike's dick.

>>23492532
My problem too. All skeleton and no meat

>>23492532
guilty as charged. fuck

only suggestion i can give is to write your story out as a quick skeleton, basically a chronology of events, and make sure THAT stands up before writing what happens

>>23492548

Wait, hadn't "Mike" already been sleeping at Twilight's house in the first one when he got the letter from Derpy?

>>23492502
SORRY CANT HEAR YOU! I'M DRAWING GUMMY!

>>23492530

No, not really, but you know what they say! Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If no one takes it, that's okay. If someone's feeling kind, that's excellent. But if no one responds this time, I'll just drop it. Then on to my next fic!

I'm wondering whether to do a request, or continue my Doctor Whoof fannon.

>>23492209
Is the room dead or something, right now?

>>23492499
What of these two?

>>23492532
Sprinkles, I have the same problem.
Normally I outline every chapter to an extent, much like a movie script. If dialogue is more rampent in my head, then I write down the dialogue first. Normally, I can just write narration around that.

>>23492488
that was the intention, there was a lot of pinkie dash stuff going on at the time.
IF i chose to continue, it would morph in to something else entirely

>>23492563
care to make arrangements?

>>23492548
Caught it just before I announced I was going to bed (so far, the actual going to bed part has been unsuccessful). I read it and, I'll go ahead and leave a comment here, then probably one on the blog.

*thinkthinkthink.*

It stands up well. The writing is still coming across to me pretty strong. Only criticism I can think of off top my head might come across as nitpicky, since POV was something my last teacher really emphasized on paying attention to while writing stories.

Just finished.

>>23492540

Actually, I'm putting my writing on hold for the time being. After all this shipping, posting more of it only seems to be a bit much. Sorry Fistful of Apples. Your request'll have to wait a little longer.

As for the character albums...After someone pointed out to me that everyone could just make their own playlists for each of the ponies, it made my project kinda moot. So I dropped it. I still have the list of song requests though, just cause I haven't gotten around to deleting them yet. Probably do it now.

Yay!
My ban is over!
What'd I miss?

>>23492551
That is brilliant! Now if only I could think of appropriate "real" names for them...

>>23492554

Night, Blog Brony! Keep up the good work! We'll work on this whole "Sleeping" problem later.

>>23492511
Oh I figured. I'm sure you will figure something out. Twilight and Dash can obviously work, but I wouldn't worry about it so much off the start. Overall I think you have a pretty good start and you just need to stick with it. Possibly make it to what we see in the pony world is more or less her relating it either to her friends or in a dream and not necessarily the dream itself. Like a flashback. Just pitching my two cents to help give you some ideas.

Btw, yay tripcode I hope it works.

>>23492646

>>23492643

Oh Twilight... you so skeptic

>>23492622
Like all that AppleDash that happened? What would you do next?

>>23492646

Have you been keeping up with the contributions from over on EquestriaDaily?

>>23492538
>Came for the drama.
I wish you hadn't.

>>23492646

Pacce!

I missed you! Welcome back!

>>23492646

Art

Fics

And lots of them

was your ban pony related?

Also... up for some colouring?

>>23492646
someone raided /v/ today.

>>23492646

you awesome person you...wait...what'd you get banned for?

>>23492599
No, well technically... the very first thing I posted was a beta. Pretty much a demo, if you will, for a videogame to see how everyone will like it.
Once I started revising the story, the beta kinda got phased out of at this point. The recent chapter is right where the beta WOULD begin, but it's not following the beta's story path anymore.

>>23492532

Nope. I don't outline anything. I will usually have a basic idea of "this is what I'm doing" and sometimes I'll have a "this is where I want to start" and a "This is where I want to end" but plenty of times I don't even have that much. I just write and see what happens.

It is my experience that usually people who can't write and focus on the ideas are just in need of writing practice. Writing is difficult, ideas are easy. But like anything, the longer one has been writing the easier it'll come. There's nothing for it except keep writing.

>>23492646
Did you see the newest episode?

>>23492059
slowpoking on this, but well played

wait

what blog

>>23492666
the operation would get discovered, pinkie would die and apple bloom would go to the nut house.
then chaos. Applejoker

Aw, Squeak, it's good to see your pony macro'd face!


Also, have a link to my entry to the ship-off. Prolly the only bit of shipping I'll ever write.

>>23492723
I thought the whole town knew about the operation?
I'll have to go back and read it.

>>23492690
Hah hah!
I already did that!

>>23492709
that's how i got good end
funny considering that part 1 just came to me about 30 minutes before i first posted it

>>23492794

Oh wow... how did I miss that?

Thanks Pacce!

>>23492644

The fact that others have done a lot of it shouldn't mean you can't do what you were gonna do!

But of course AJ, if you want to put your writing on hold don't let little ol' me stop you! I'm just saying, if you do it should be because you yourself want to.

>>23492690
Also all my ban said was "trolling".
Which I don't recall doing.
Ever.

>>23492640
Elaborate on POV. I know it's point-of-view, but in what way should it be applied better?

>>23492760

So you only have to catch up on this thread then. Somebody came up with a plan to honor the best of the best writefags and everybody hated it because it would hurt the feelings of the betas. Some butthurt troll from /v/ came to bitch about getting trolled. HFPS posted another slenderpony pic that most didn't notice. There were discussions of that Writefag Society that make it sound more and more like a bad idea. Lots of people going to bed. People discussing how much new material we had today. And then you came back.

Anyone got an up to date pic of Andrea Libman? The voice actor of Fluttershy and Pinkie?

I've looked but all I can find is pics of her as a kid. She's 26 years old now, I want to see what she looks like.

>>23492794
Wtf is that supposed to be? One of Dash's legs?

>>23492807

Funny then that your good end was a million times better than your bad one. Not even speaking from a content perspective, but from a technical one.

>>23492760

Good to see your writefriendiness!

I'll your fic a look in the morning! Its' 3:30 AM here, and I must be off to bed! I'm going to try to make a dent in my backlog over tomorrow.

Anyhoof, thanks for a wonderful Valentines Bronies! We shall have to do it again!

Goodnight!

>>23492792
the was in on in so much as they were all eating pony cupcakes.
it was hinted that Pinkie had been doing it for some time, yet somehow no one noticed the missing ponies
so, i guess it was also commentary on how the town folk are idiots

>>23492864
It's a candyvag lollipop you psycho

>>23492643
Lol'd!

>>23492881
Ahem. What did you want drawn, again?

>>23492864

My request was for a heart shaped lollipop

>>23492760
>"We"

>>23492844
Oh that last part sounds exciting!

But yeah, beyond commenting and stuff, I think the rest of that sounds about as good of an idea as tier lists.

Welcome back Pacce

Hate to sound demanding, but If your coloring agenda isn't full...

I love this pic

>>23492872
i have no idea how that ended being so bad.
maybe it's because i gave a crap about good end enough to labor over it for few days.
thanks btw

>>23492887
It's funny when you point that out lol stupid townies

>>23492896
>>23492908
So sorry. It's nice

Oh god, I'm fucking loving how this is turning out. I'll ink tomorrow after a steady dose of MvC3.

Gummy really doesn't give a shit about your problems.

>>23492833

Oh, Pacce!

Thanks for the nice comment you left on my Valentines ship-off entry!

>>23492914
I can't NOT do a happy ending!

Doing a ship fic was hard for me. All I could think about was how utterly unlikely it was for any of them to do anything romantic with anyone.

Let's take a throwback to that glorious first week.

>>23492972

"And tonight you join me as we penetrate into the dark, uncharted wilderness of /co/

We are seeking a peculiar species, one that has only been recently documented

Scientifically: Bronyous, aloneous

>>23492956
I'm on it, but I can't do it alone. Not that we need to just bombard IMDb with ratings, but if you like it you might as well vote, right?

Sorry for the lack of Rarity, did this mostly from memory... also I know there were a few takes on this thread, but I just had to do my own.

>>23492977
smugleaf!

>>23492977
somethinga 'bout the pose seems familiar too.

>>23492977
Speaking of Gummy, I hope they do a future episode starring everyone's pets. Angel, Wynona, Gummy, Opal and whatever pet Dash has, led by Spike maybe, as they have craaaazy adventures.

>>23492896

>>23492977
smugleaf evolved into smugator.

>>23492982
Well it was funny, when I was thinking about shipping the different characters, my thoughts on Twilight were:
Someone else would have to make the first move and then she'd prolly freak out and run to the books to figure out the proper etiquette.

>>23492925
Happily! But not now, tired and drunk.

because i haven't done anything for a while, and my creative juices were flowing. There's a hoard of colorbronies and i can't draw for shit. so what else can i do? writefag!

featuring these lovely ponies in the apple family

>>23492998
Was that the first one? Also, is there just this cap? I wanted to check the other threads when I jumped in, a bit later.

>>23493021
Goddamn subconscious making me imitate that one Charmander macro.
>>23493020
Gummy is way more badass.
>>23493035
Who can I give my money to to make this happen?

Okay someone really needs to draw the setup Pinkie had in the basement. No characters, just the scene. Full detail. Contact Porkcow or something.

>>23493050
I'd laugh if Applebloom's cutiemark ends up being an orange or something.

i'm going to bed
tomorrow i'm going to try and get Trespasser on EfD

>>23492840
Hmm, what can I say. POV turned into one of the most complicated subjects I had to study. It can even be spoiled by merely including a wrong detail.

Alright, for you Lucid, I'll show you what I mean. Then I'll probably go to bed.

Point of view is correct, and I'm sure we're all familiar with the big ones. First person, third person omniscient, and third person limited. Most novels these days take place in the last one, third person limited. It's something of a hybrid of first and third. It's kind of like sitting in someone's head as a kind of passenger, and pick up some of their thoughts while we see what they see and feel what they feel. Picking the right POV is absolutely critical to a story and can give or fix a number of flaws.

Now, this is very delicate to maintain because featuring a detail incorrectly breaks it from the limited POV and can even subconsciously jar the reader. At times, your story feels like it is (or should be) set in 3rd person limited. Usually, the shifts on *who* we're sitting with is broken by a scene change (thinking of when Twilight and co were looking for the creature). But occasionally, you'll slip from Mike's head to Twilight's without me expecting it to go all 3rd omnicient after we've been in 3rd limited for most of the story. It happens some times in the dialog where we jump directly into Twilight's head see how she's feeling about what she just heard.

If I were to guess, you're kind of wanting to have it both ways. You seem to like writing from 3rd limited, but will have the limited jump around to get across moods in dialog.

>whatever pet Dash has

A squirrel according to the toys

Well, long day ahead of me, night fellas.

>>23493075
and not a single one was given.

>>23493115

Why do the toys look nothing like the cartoon, and when are they going to make some plushies?

Hey ponies, I think I've been reading too much Diskworld.

>>23493115

>Squirrel

NO FUCKING WAY

I want a Rainbow Lorikeet for her pet;_;

For anyone wanting to style Pinkie Pie's hair

>>23493115
Yeah, I think a squirrel seems pretty appropriate for Dash.

>>23491335
I was kinda hoping to participate in this, but I guess it's not happening anymore?

>>23493101
Thanks!

>>23493115
>Implying the toys are show accurate
According to the toys, Pinkie Pie drives a car.

>>23493165
>mfw it's actually a FLYING SQUIRREL

>>23492983

You pulled it off well.

>>23493185
And how is that out of character?

>>23493163
RESULTS!

>>23493185

I will give them all of my dollars if they make a Pinkie plush that sings and says catchphrases when you push her hoof.

>>23493115
Toys also claim Rarity has a bird

Dash most likly has an Eagle or a Hawk named Harvey

Rainbow Dash's pet is Gilda

The new toys are so fail. All the high hopes I had for toy fair were dashed.

I want Trixie, and Luna, and Big Mac and a proper colored Celestia.... WHY!? WHY HASBRO, WHY!?

I want to give you my money so BAD, just give me something to work with here.

>>23493090
Well, for a complicated subject, I understood it perfectly, the way you explained it.

Most of the time, I feel that omniscent is needed in order to express the characters emotions. But using just limited makes the plot sound too much like just a movie-script, if I understand you correctly. A written piece can be just as decriptive as picture, I was trying to go for that.

Is there any way to clean up the POV switching, or at least make it more clearer.

>>23492709
A Fistful of Apples, you're the one writing Reconnection, right? Any news on when the next update will be?

>>23493163
>>23493211
Oh man, I just picked up a Rarity and Rainbow Dash figure the other day. I haven't even taken them out of the packages yet...

>>23493256
That . . . helmet . . . HAHAHAHAHAHA! That's really adorable. I want 30 of those helmets.


But the scooter can fuck right off.

Guys, i just got THIS off a friend for valentines(belated gift, i thanked them).

Now i also have a mirror i wear with it. Perfect combo.

And a nametag for the mask. Should i make it something to do with Cupcakes?

>>23493278

a hole for her horn

*dies of cuteness*

>>23493127
Hay, I thought you and I were going to bed!

>>23493256
It looks like she's wearing some kind of special bus retard helmet.

>>23493256
WTF is that. Did Hasbro even try?

>>23493256
the applejack, twilight, spike, celestia combo pack is actually pretty good. Best normal looking ponies imo.... but well, i only want applejack from that so yeah.... otherwise, that combo pack is the best out of all the toys out right now.

>>23493199
Thanks!
Glad to hear it was enjoyed!

Okay, glad to not be banned.
Going to bed!

>>23493278
A turtle? Are you kidding? And Rainbow Dash on a scooter? Sigh.

That visor is damn cute though.

Speaking of Applejack...!

I finished my pony person :>

RD needs to have a spikier, dykier haircut.

>>23493324
The Hasbro site has these mini figures that so far are the most on-model things they offer. They look pretty cool, they're like the happy meal toys only fancier

>>23493357
Nice! That looks awesome! Although I have to wonder...is she an elf? Her ears look kind of pointed.

Also are you doing more?

>>23493362

RD is a closet girly girl

>>23493343

Oh come on, a turtle would be a great pet for Dash!

>>23493388

Thanks! And yeah, the ponies have pointed ears and I just couldn't help myself. Not sure when/if I'll do more (though it's really likely).

>>23493357
awesome

Good friends always stick together — just like your ponies and their adorable little pals. Put the saddle on your pony figures and their little friends can ride on it everywhere they go! Keep their pretty hair smooth with the brush, so they look great no matter where their adventures take them.

>>23493343
Its for pony poker

>>23493264
The dialog doesn't have to be. There is a lot you can convey about emotions through one character observing another. Books like Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files does an excellent job of converying non POV character's states without having to break the first person POV
>suddenly feels like he's slipping back into Writing Workship mode. Hmm . . .
It could be something to go over. Picking a good 3rd person limited novel and studying how they do dialog. I'd recommend one, but my mind just keeps coming up with 1st person POV novels.

All of this aside, you could go the route of omniscient. I'm not sure how I feel about that move, though. I feel the stories theme would be better served by having Mike be our more or less constant perspective, as it's focus is Mike in Equestria

Or I'll just contradict myself now and say you could also serve it well in omnicient by making the reader feel they're observers from a small distance, like we were watching it on TV.

Now I'm going way too deep into this by figuring out the implications on thematic perspectives for the story, heh, heh. You perhaps could find a way to make it work with switching POVs. One of the reasons it sticks out to me so much is that I had an instructor that dealt a lot in them. In the end of the day, writing is flexible, and many rules can be broken for the right reasons.

Okay, I'll follow it up with perhaps a suggestion on switching POVs to make it less jaring. . . hmm, perhaps if the switches came as expected situations, like consistantsy in converations between Mike in the main six, the reader could anticipate them and not be jarred from the experience.

>>23493383
yeah, the problem with most of the mlp toys are how off model they are, geared back to their older lines, looking more babyish.

I saw a commercial with a celestia. She looked right. But she was pink like the mcdonalds one so I don't know whats going on there.

>RD is a closet girly girl

Aw, femme baby dykes are the cutest!

What's with the random quotation marks in their ad copy???

>TWILIGHT SPARKLE tries to find the answer to every question! Whether studying a book or spending time with friends, she always learns something new!

>Take your friends for a starlight “ride” with this TWILIGHT SPARKLE’S TWINKLING BALLOON vehicle! Put your TWILIGHT SPARKLE pony figure and her SPIKE THE DRAGON friend figure inside the basket of this electronic balloon vehicle — and then turn it on so it lights up and plays music as they “fly”! Your SPIKE THE DRAGON figure can sit perched on the edge of the basket or even on top of the balloon to keep watch with the “telescope.” When you’ve “landed” the balloon vehicle, switch it to night-light mode so it will gently glow in your bedroom as you drift off to dreamland.

>Balloon vehicle comes with TWILIGHT SPARKLE pony figure, SPIKE THE DRAGON figure and a “telescope.”

>>23493410
I, for one, hope you do. You've got some real talent. And I've gotta say, the pointed ears look good.
