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!

[up]If that was the case, the story itself needed to be way more over-the-top. Would've been hilarious, though.

In one of the Fimfiction feature box's more glorious (and increasingly rare) shows of decent taste, I came across this gem.

Yeah, the silliness just escalates throughout the episode until the audience hears Twilight shout "WHAT?!" and it cuts to Rainbow Dash's friends reading her fanfic.

I somewhat agree, but that would make Power Ponies and Daring Don't too similar.

I meant not doing Power Ponies and just using the gimmick for Daring Don't.

Can I round this robin or do I have to fight a bat first?

You have to fight a bat with a bat riding on a giant bat. In the bat country.

@Pykrete: Fun story. author is trying a bit too hard on the language though, I think... and this is coming from me.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.

That would also work. Especially since RD cannonically did write a self insert fanfic.

Bat country is where they make the best baseball bats.

I've no clue what the hay's going on, aside from a couple episodes being discussed, as well as the round robin fic...

Of course, that screws up everyone who was supposed to turn left. Not to mention the weirdness that happens when people come in from the other direction.

I just want to know why so many people's journeys take them through Albuquerque. I was trying to get to Canada, how did I end up here?

Wow, this author has a serious problem with LUS. Also, massive info dump at the start, not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

under Moon

Why do I get the feeling that the author wrote Luna's Moon here and then deleted Luna without correcting the grammar?

after Sun became

And here it is again.

Anyway, finished the story. Pretty good despite its flaws.

No idea. The only time I've been to Alburquerque, it was intentional.

[up][up]Picking up some of that sweet sweet meth?

Daring Do works alone, supposedly because her line of work involves secrets, and she doesn't trust anybody. And then she writes all about her adventures, pretty much spilling all her secrets to the public anyway?

Yes, because if you're writing them yourself, you have absolutely no way to decide which details are kept secret.

Ahui-whatever is planning to subject a probably-not-insignificant region of Equestria to a couple centuries of blistering heat. Does Celestia know about this? (Maybe she does, but Daring Do is always stopping his plans anyway, so it's nothing to worry about? I dunno.)

Word of God is that Celestia is aware of Daring Do and lets her get on with it. The show provides evidence that there are always disasters happening in Equestria and somepony keeps stopping them. If Celestia solved all the problems herself, she'd be even more overworked than she already is.

On a different note, the name A. K. Yearling makes me think of either J. K. Rowling, or K. A. Applegate. I wonder if that was intentional.

I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

Also, my Skype isn't working at the moment. Is this a problem everyone else is having?

What's ironic is that apparently, people are now selling blue colored meth to try to cash in on the show's popularity.

@Sereg's skype problem: Not having a problem myself with Skype... huh...

I'd love to input on Daring Don't, but I've nothing to input really. (Yes, I've seen the episode before you ask.)

Which they probably get by just adding blue food dye. Or dish soap.

@Sereg It's must be problem with your Skype. It appear to work normally for other in people chatroom.

BTW I discovered that Kattie Cook from IDW MLP comic did some Star Wars related stuff I liked.
