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 personally think a ponysona is different than an OC. A ponysona is meant to represent you, and not to interact with Equestria or the mane cast. An OC is a character that's meant to exist in the MLP universe and be important to a fan created story. I've made both, but the one I just linked is a Ponysona. If I have her interact with any pre-existing character it will be a ponysona of one of the MLP Analysis community contributors.

Sera started as a ponysona more or less, then became his own pony.

@Rhyme: Ah... that is what the difference is. Boy, do I feel like a bonehead. I thought they were one and the same... D'oh! (Either way though, my point will still stand that I won't show the character in question, from the flak that'll likely fly.)

Eh, honestly it's hard to get flak for your OC/Ponysona unless it's an alicorn and/or has the talent to do anything. Most just get ignored.

@NES: It's an understandable mistake; a lot of bad fanfic authors basically use blatant self-insert characters as OCs.

@Rhyme: Can definitely say I avoided the first hurdle no problem, as well as the other hurdle in question. (Think if anything, the OC in question'd get flak for the mark not clearly corresponding to the talent. {Drawing pictures for the record. Yes, unoriginal...})

@Teeth: For fics? -tilts head- Hoo boy... I don't write many, if any fics, so... that isn't exactly the problem. (Being known as the creator of nothing good... kinda is the big fear here.)[nja]

[down]Yeah... that is a little more abstract, but... a mere smiley in black? I'd hazard that would be awful hard to handwave as a mere pencil line.

To people that complain about that, ask them what they think of Rarity Notjeweler.

And the lightbulb cutie mark is supposed to represent the concept of thought/ideas, not anything to do with electricity or light so I suppose I'm also guilty of that.

If its the Lego Film, then go see it, its like five levels of intellectually deep.

Hopefully I'll get a chance tomorrow. Incidently, I just finished the season 3 finale of Sherlock. That was something.

Twitch just defeated Agatha.

For the gazillionth time. Call me when they defeat Lance with more than ATV remaining.

Though really, I don't think they'll go anywhere until they get lucky enough to have Zapdos sweep Lorelei without losses again.

Talk about an downer ending

It wasn't a surprise. They've been at it since 4, and the only time they get close is when Zapdos comes out early.

Why don't they just grind some more

They're grinding against the E4, basically. Sadly, this means that AIR is once again pretty much out of luck, though he did manage to gain one or two levels.

Oh wait, it looks like they're only going for Democracy so they can move Zapdos to the front of the party and teach him a new move

Moving him to the front of the party is obviously necessary, but what would they want to teach him?

How do you get the cutie mark? Did you add that yourself?

@Kix: Two? Umm... tomorrow's the first of March?

(Also, deciding to cave against my better judgement. However, merely request, and I'll personally message it over. Still rather... touchy. Also goes for any questions that you curious folks have about the character in question.)

Yes. Pretty much I drew up a seperate document with the cutie mark and copy pasted it onto the pony and adjusted the angle to fit the position of her flank.

Re self-insert OCs: all my characters have elements of myself in them, OC and canon alike. I think it's inevitable given Right What You Know. But self-inserts are only bad if you're deliberately trying to write yourself because then you grow too attached to the character and fail to give them reasonable flaws.

A workable alternative is to downsize some clip art where appropriate.
