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.

The problem in this case is I have an OC, but don't know what to do with her. A story about her wouldn't be very interesting in my opinion, and I'm the one who made her. Again, some kind of ensemble would be good, but I don't really have other pony OCs at the moment.

New headcanon: Derpy won the archery contest.
You know, when I was watching the episode, I initially thought that Spike was going to compete in the arhcery contest at the last moment, thus letting Ponyville win. It's a rare episode that keeps you guessing almost to the last minute.

Yeah, I wasn't sure where that was going either. Although as soon as the cloud got icy I could tell.
And since I only got like four hours of sleep last night, I'm going to bed now.
A concept in isolation isn't very useful. If you don't feel like you can come up with anything, just create a different character.
I figured out soon after that when they said that the disable spell couldn't be lifted in time.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayRe: Characters. I usually take the "make a character to fill a gap in the plot's needs" approach to creating new characters (otherwise, I use existing). Both times I've done this with long fic, they've fulfilled their initial role, then run off and become more important because they stick their muzzle further into trouble.
Ike: Try bouncing her off of someone existing, then. Do a really short story where she meets Pinkie or something. Use that to bring out her personality more and see if that inspires you to make a longer story with her.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiThey could start out the same way but a novel would provide more time for a character to evolve past its initial conception.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWell, finally got to see the episode after a long and shitty day.
I wonder if the Equestria Games was meant to have more go on but they shelved it for whatever reasons? Oh well, to be honest it was probably the weakest part of the episode.
Spike stuff was pretty decent, though I'll probably never forgive Dave and the rest of team song scene. So much cringe. I honestly did like how he was still kind of down on himself after the rescue scene (insert your own comments about apathtic/useless Princesses jokes here, they are all good). It was nice bit of characterization and avoided the cliche post event confidence boost these usually end, or at least helped to ground in something more interesting.

Have any of you guys ever heard of a website called listia/listaia? If so, do you know if it's legit or not? Because my sister is saying she won an auction on a dress there. I'm rather suspicious.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Yes, Spike, Cloudsdale is famous for its trees.
@ Ike: Never heard of it. Do you know if she actually entered the auction? If not, it's almost certainly one of those "You've won!" scams. I'm suspicious either way.
Edit: Here's what Wikipedia says.

I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!It's one of those famous cloud trees, where they grow cloud spaghetti.
Anyway, it's a shame he wasn't asked to sing the Ankh Morpork anthem. He would have fit right in (most of the words to the anthem are just humming, especially in the second verse, on the theory that noone will remember them anyway)
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI've never heard of it. And the fact that she's been able to sign up, enter an auction and actually win something (according to her) makes me think it's some kind of scam.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/You know, earlier I was gonna make a crude joke about that scene with Fluttershy sitting on Bulk Bicep's barbell thing while he was lifting it.
I just checked derpibooru for today's new pictures, and someone else has already done much worse. Um... well.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/Speaking of semmingly scam websites that offer free stuff, I remember signing up for Lockerz soon after it came out because my friend told me that he had gotten tons of free stuff. Of course he must have gotten in on it really early on back when there were so few people that it was actually possible to get prizes. They very quickly made it all but impossible to win anything, and later on stopped even pretending.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI haven't seen anyone mention that Coco Pommel is in the crowd at the 4:38 mark.
Left side of the screen, right above Photo Finish.
There are also two Cheerilees, but what the buck.
I put my friend in a coconut! He lives in my hat! Hey, come hang out!Huh, so she is. And Sapphire Shores and Hoity Toity are right above her, and Silver Shill is above them with a vendor's tray.
And Braeburn is there on the right, along with Sheriff Silver Star and the bartender from the Salt Lick, and... is that Bulk Biceps' mom?
Mainly, though, I'm still wondering how Cherry Jubilee got a seat in the VIP section.

I imagine she's a date of one of the delegates with whom she's never been seen before...
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.There's a lot of ponies in that crowd scene. On closer inspection, I noticed Photo Finish, Hoity Toity, Saphire Shores, Breaburn, Sheriff Silverstar, other Appleloosa ponies, that old guy with the glasses whose name I forgot. Also, Silver Shill is selling popcorn in the back.

That's not always the case. A lot of authors take a more character based approach where you develop the cast and then see how they adapt to a given situation.
