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.

You'd be surprised by how much argument there was over whether Applejack or Rainbow Dash was morally justified.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHow does one shamelessly self-promote one's fanfics without looking like one is shamelessly self-promoting one's fanfics?
What's wrong with shameless self-promotion? We do it all the time here anyway.
Oh god. Let's not start on Fall Weather Friends again. Please?
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Got a Kahlua gift box for Christmas, and bought some vodka and milk with the $19 I won on gift scratch tickets.
I'm dreaming of a White Russian... *hic*
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!I'm hesitant to post my fanfic since I don't think it's in a complete enough state to even qualify as a first draft.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayIf you posted it here, someone might take a look at it, even though it's not MLP.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@story, alright then. Have some Spider-Man
I'd prefer opinions, reviews, and criticism, if anyone is willing to give those, into my PM box. Easier to keep in mind for later.
@Go A: I'm not sure if it's a thing in the greater fandom, but it was a thing here for quite sometime.

Sorry I'm not very knowledgeable about writing, but I can point out the things that jump out at me as I read the opening.
Well first off, the present tense is distracting. But I suppose that's too big a thing to change at this point, assuming it's not just a stylistic choice.
This part is confusing. Is it the watery knives which are also causing thunder?
It'd be nice if we knew who's point of view this was. I doesn't seem to be stated until the next paragraph
I don't think breath rate is a normal term. Perhaps you should change it to breathing rate, or just say they were breathing rapidly.
Is this a reference to Marvel comics? I'm not sure who you're talking about here, but maybe the fans would get it.
the adverbs don't flow well. I think you should consider taking out fully.
That's two sentences of action in the first five paragraphs, and the first paragraph is particularly long. Maybe you could make it hook the reader better by rearranging things.
Almost missed this - it suddenly changes to past tense after the first paragraph. I like past tense better, but it makes the opening even more jarring.
And then you accidently switch back. This should be was.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySorry, it's easier this way since I can get the quoteblocks inserted automatically.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySup guys. Just popping in to say hi. Probably won't be on much tomorrow at all, as that's when my grandma's funeral is being held.
Regarding fanfics: in general it's a lot easier to proofread if you post it in googledocs with comments enabled. That way the relevant comments are connected to the story itself and you don't have to sort through quotes and whatever.
Also, yes, Fall Weather Friends did have some controversy. The basic question was something like "Could RD's use of her wings be considered cheating when A. there Ain't No Rule and B. banning her from using her wings would stack the events in AJ's favor?"
In more detail, the problem is that some people felt that RD was justified in being able to use her wings because it was within the established rules of the contest and that it was AJ's fault for not specifying. Others felt that it should have been assumed that the use of special abilities would have been forbidden because it makes it impossible to have a fair match.
My personal take on it is that the whole "Iron Pony Competition" was flawed from the start because neither participant put any thought into how it would work and they both assumed that the rules would be working in their favor.
And now I will disappear, because I am very tired, and I've already been through this discussion plenty of times.
Yeah. When I watched the episode, I was on AJ's side, but in retrospect, I think they were both at fault for agreeing to such a stupid competition.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI'm currently watching "A Very G3 Christmas". The best part (so far) is when Tabitha, as Minty, whines "What am I gonna doooooooo?" Hi, Rarity.
