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.

     Original OP text 
I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Wait, Fall Weather Friends was controversial?

You'd be surprised by how much argument there was over whether Applejack or Rainbow Dash was morally justified.

Pretty sure that the point was that they both went over the line, right?

Yeah. At least ponies have an alive fanfic thread. Friggin' Marvel is dead as uncles and Stacys.

How 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?

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'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.

I wish I could post mine anywhere where it'd get any attention. Marvel is so dead.

Ha! Fall Weather Friends is a thing we argue about?

Okay, now I know I don't understand a big part of this fandom.

If you posted it here, someone might take a look at it, even though it's not MLP.

@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.

Legions of little watery knives storming the Osborn fortress under thunderous roars of their loudest

This part is confusing. Is it the watery knives which are also causing thunder?

Which was a very welcome feat, due to it being the only thing shedding light in the penthouse

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

increased breath rate

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.

only caused endless jokes about his relations to a certain xenophobic mass murderer

Is this a reference to Marvel comics? I'm not sure who you're talking about here, but maybe the fans would get it.

her strangely fully white long curly hair

the adverbs don't flow well. I think you should consider taking out fully.

You two... get out. I will name my successor only to Menken.

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.

said one of them to the man

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.

Norman Osborn is dead.

And then you accidently switch back. This should be was.

I just need to store these things later so I could use them to improve later chapters. But this will soon be buried in future pages, so yeah.

Sup 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.

I remember thinking "Man, AJ sure picks a lot of fighs" in either this or vs Rarity one, whichever came first.

I'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.
