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 think the only place I've seen where it really works is Homestuck, and that's because it's heavily parodied.

Edit: Now that I think about it, Homestuck treats mostly it as limited third person except written with second person pronouns.

I'm using second person perspective for my Ponystuck story because of the source material. But you're making it sound like a bad idea.

Well the important thing to remember there is not getting carried away. No personality traits for the reader. N-o-n-e.

So swarm of the century. I feel like if pinkie was just a bit clearer, things might have went just a bit better.

Space Rangers is great game.

I even imagined pony fic crossover game for while.

Text advanture mission never bothered me (maybe exept fact that I never had my weapon when I needed it, and my char had it in moment like picking flowers).

The thing is that it actually works in Homestuck because it doesn't take itself seriously and because the second person narration is often more like third person anyway.

You know, now I want to write an Interactive Fiction where the main character keeps getting weird compulsive thoughts from apparently nowhere. The game ends with you being cured.

Speaking of IF, anyone played the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy? I haven't, but I've heard that it's legendary.

@Story. It's like the I Wanna be the guy of interactive fiction. mention the infamous Nintendo Hard bable Fish Maze and watch as veteran ifers shed a few tears from the remembered frustration.

Also, me and Lum are going to test out a spiritual fusion fic with space Rangers Two.

Yep, I read about the Babble Fish puzzle. Also there's six things you need but the game won't tell you until the end and each time it asks for only the one you're missing.

So I know there's been some debate about Trenderhoof's line about earth ponies being hard workers. I just looked and the quote isn't on our page for You Are a Credit to Your Race, but I'm wondering, should it be? Because it seems like an example to me.

@Will: I dunno; I've explained before why I don't think it quite fits. You Are a Credit to Your Race would be more along the lines of "You're really cute for an Earth Pony" or something along those lines. It's kinda sleazy but not so much because it's racist as because it shows that he isn't interested in Applejack so much as an idealization that he projects on her. In fact, it's almost an inversion; rather than being dismissive of the race as a whole but complimenting the individual, he compliments the race as a whole while ignoring the individual he's talking to.

And his whole "hick" thing at the end almost comes across as a Pretty Fly for a White Guy situation.

By the way, what do you think the description for our Roud Robin fanfic should be? At first I thought it should be something like "I suck at summaries. Pls upvote and review" but I'm afraid that would actually turned people off from reading it in the first place.")
