A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Competitive fish pool. Is that like a professional pool league for fish?
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectSo I just checked out the first part of Mic The Microphone's reading of that RD+Kitchen Sink fic that some people were talking about a while back...
It's freaking hilarious. 'Nuff said.
boop I'm more active on hereI wonder how the kitchen sink story compares to the one where Dash is shipped with shipping itself.

@Ike: O_O
OH MY GOD I MUST READ THAT FIC. Any readings of it floating around online or somethin'?
boop I'm more active on hereIt's coming up fish puns today. Jury is still out on whether that's a good thing.

And from that point on the show is a sitcom about Twilight trying to raise 3 babies. The implications of the nation's rulers suddenly reverting to infancy are never addressed.
Alright! Time for a reaction to Keep Calm and Flutter On! As usual, y'all can join me here
. LET'S BEGIN!
- Nice Cold Open there.
- Oooh, Dave Polsky... considering his previous eppy... I still have high hopes for this one, considering his other eppies. Also, who's Teddy Antonio? -looks up his name- Whoa. That's actually rather impressive for him.
- Okay, that Pinkie moment was pretty funny. I can already tell that I will like this one.
- Also, the story is... actually a rather interesting concept. Let's just see how Dave can pull it off...
- Ah... it feels so good to hear de Lancie's voice again.
- And yes, Discord is still friggin' awesome as heck.
- Also, this eppy is pretty funny so far.
- Still lovin' the "squee" sound effect. Also, not sure if "How do you like them carrots?" was a Call-Back to Applebuck Season or not... it probably is.
- Well, didn't see that plot twist coming. I'm being very sincere here. I didn't see it coming.
- Also, this episode is actually moving rather fast.
- Seeing Fluttershy's house spinning as well as seeing the inside of the spinning house is actually pretty funny... for some reason.
- "There's something fishy going on." Cue Rimshot.
- Wow, that moment between Fluttershy and Discord at the dinner party... was actually very touching.
- That was actually a nice ending there.
- Obligatory Title Drop is obligatory.
So, that was my reaction to Keep Calm and Flutter On. Overall, I thought that it was a pretty darn good episode.
Now... to ship Fluttercord or not to ship Fluttercord... that is the question...
So, will I ship Fluttercord? Will I think that the next eppy of this show will be good? Will I admit my love for Da- wait what?
FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF... SOMETHING!
-cue credits theme-
boop I'm more active on hereIt was a rather good episode, yes. Thankfully that plotline will continue later and Celestia's remark on his magic does get an explanation waaaay later.
So far your reactions have pretty much been the overall fandom consensus. Spike at Your Service was originally written by Polsky and Rarity would have gotten the Spike adoration which makes more sense imho, but somewhere in the writing process it was decided Rarity might come off as too mean so they switched to AJ and gave the script to Williams to rewrite.
Well... that was an interesting bit of trivia there... it seems that every time that someone passes on an episode to another writer, it usually doesn't end well. At least for me.
Relevant because Wryte mentioned Rainbow Dash and self-insert fanfic writer in the same sentence.

Thanks to artists like whitediamonds, Rarijack is the one ship I could see myself supporting.
