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!

I can second all those except Eternal because I don't know it.
It's a weird case of Bait-and-Switch. The first chapter or two (and our article's description!) make it look like the story is about angst, growing older, and relationships drifting apart. Then WHAM! Something happens off-screen and it leaves both Twilight and Celestia in a Heroic BSoD, and Luna has to pull a Journey to the Center of the Mind to get them back. So it's still got angst and interpersonal drama, but it's couched in a psychological adventure story, rather than in sitting around and talking.

Eternal was quite engaging indeed.

Yaaaay, I'm still memorable and relevant-ish!

I'd also recommend Book of Friendship. It's not actually finished, but it is still updating, and it's written by a member of this forum, so, you know. Support.

I need to get back to reading it myself...

But ya know, that's fine too. tongue

so, Rainbow dash and the Daring Do Double Dare.

Chapter 1 begins with Rainbow waiting for hours at the Ponyville bookstore. Right off the bat we get this little gem:

Even though she would have the precious book in her hooves in less time than it took for her friend Pinkie Pie to throw together a party (her current record is four minutes, seventeen seconds), Rainbow Dash still felt so fizzy with anticipation that she thought she just might explode. As awesome as a rainbow firework would look, however, Rainbow didn’t have time for it. Not now. Not on the release night of the most incredible adventure book ever! Plus, if she exploded, she’d lose her place in line.

many ponies are waiting in line, Rainbow had apparently set a trend for the books so that a good 200 ponies are camped outside the store, including Big Mac of all ponies.

Applejack, taking advantage of a large group of ponies in one area, is selling Daring DO themed apple snacks. To which we get another good bit:

“Get yer Apple Fritters… of Destiny!” Applejack said, trotting up and down the line with a tray of treats for sale. “Fresh Caramel Apples… of Doom?”

“Hey, Applejack?” Rainbow asked her friend. They just looked like normal treats to her. “Uh… what are you doing?”

“Figured I’d try to make my treats from Sweet Apple Acres sound as Daring Do as I could,” Applejack explained. She picked up a mini apple pie and passed it to Rainbow. “Apple Pie of Fate?”

Rainbow announces there's only one minute left, to which the crowd cheers. Basking in the excitement, Rainbow decides she'll make an impressive entrance.

Hovering above, she times her angle and does a tripple barrel roll, corkscrewing 3 rainbows as she does and crashes through the just opened door and flying into the book display, scattering all the the owner's (Plot Twist) books.

I was confused by the usage of void too.

Well, I'm up right now, and kinda felt a little deprived of sleep actually. (Darn phone call waking me up!)

Don't you guys just hate it when something wakes you up all of a sudden? (Yes, I'm a light sleeper.)

@JT: You're not unlike me in that regard then. Once I'm up, I'm up.

A shame I won't be around too long at home, given how I have tutoring for accounting... now I'm a little curious on if Twilight needed a tutor for making friends...

Whether I try to go back to sleep depends on how early it is and how tired I am.
