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 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.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.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.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.@NES: It's an understandable mistake; a lot of bad fanfic authors basically use blatant self-insert characters as OCs.
Reaction Image Repository@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.)
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.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Hopefully I'll get a chance tomorrow. Incidently, I just finished the season 3 finale of Sherlock. That was something.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayTwo Flutter episodes in the course of one month? That's an academy record!!!
Putting Your Hoof Down and Hurricane Fluttershy were near each other.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.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.
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.
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.
Moving him to the front of the party is obviously necessary, but what would they want to teach him?
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYes. 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.

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceRe 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.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayA workable alternative is to downsize some clip art where appropriate.
