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.

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!

That's why I only watch the RD presents versions. They're better anyway.

@Marcen Ooh boy, My Immortal....yeah I'm familiar with that fanfic. Watched a few videos of Ntom64 reading the fanfic once never got past the first 4 parts. And for good reason, that fanfic generally is terrible.

Try the original draft of Past Sins and Celebrian, then we'll talk about crappy fics.

@Star Thanks! I think you've made me completely sane. To celebrate my sanity, I'm going to read Cupcakes! I'll see y'all in a bit!

Insane Fanfics? Thirty Hs is probably the most absurd I've read.

Dashy's way overrated. It probably only got the attention it has because it was one of the first sadfics that wasn't gimicy like Pinkie Pie getting cancer. In general early fics are unintentionally hilarious because of their gimicy formulas. Something bad happens to the mane six, or a member of, and the story describes it in agonizing detail with no other plot or focus to speak of.

Yeah, early pony fics suffer from a major case of "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny.

Yeah, there are a lot of early fics that are only really well known because they were the first to use their respective gimmicks; Cupcakes for gorefic, Fallout Equestria for epic-length crossovers, My Little Dashie for sadfic, etc. Not sure how popular those would be if they were published now.

Insane Fanfics? HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH is probably the most absurd I've read.

Apparently someone did a ponified version and then exploited a loophole in Fimfic to get it published without review.

Yeah Mars, that wasn't funny the first time. And joking about Cupcakes is so old and tired that lampshading how tame and old it is in itself has been done to death.

@Cupcakes fic: I've read it... and really, there isn't anything I can say of it that has not been said of it.

Anyways... I feel really bad for yer plight there, Marcen. (Apologies about bein' late, but got caught up in other things myself.) I've not a lot to input for now actually.

Yeah, Cupcakes has sort of passed the point where it has any capability to be interesting. It had a sort of novelty value at first, but that's long since worn out.
