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.

@Dark: The short version: Just write. Don't give a crap about whether it's good or bad or what other people will think of it. Just dump anything you think of onto the computer. You may not get an amazing story out of it, but there's still a level of satisfaction to be had in the mere act of putting something on the page that wasn't there before. The best thing to do is set a goal. Nothing wildly difficult. Just something like "write 1000 words this week." It doesn't matter what. It could be a story, it could be a scene from a story, it could just be a character bio, or a setting description. Just sit down and do it.
Reaction Image RepositoryDark- I can relate to family problems, but not to the level that you're dealing with. I don't know what I can say or do to help, but if you think of anything, just let me know. Okay?

Well.
I can see I'm not welcome here now.
It was nice knowing you all. Especially you, Gwen.
See ya never.

Calm down. You're not getting banned unless it's a constant stream of offenses.

Dude, don't be like that. You're not unwelcome.

Reaction Image RepositoryWell if that's considered off topic, it's a bit worrying.
Guess we need to start talking about ponies again.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayUnless two-thirds of the thread suddenly got thumped, I don't think it's as bad as you're imagining.
A line was probably crossed somewhere, but it's not my place to speculate on the details.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...I guess it depends on whether somebody feels it's distracting enough to warrant a thumping. Granted, the past page or so has been off-topic. I also feel compelled to point out that in both this thread and the one before it, the main thing that mods tend to frown on is when people drag RL issues into the thread because they tend to generate drama and derails much more easily than discussing, say, other media. In particular I remember back in the day there was somebody who got repeatedly banned because he kept being an Attention Whore by derailing the thread to be about how bad his life sucked; fishing for pity, basically. I seriously doubt that Ike is doing that, but I'm guessing a mod thought it was getting too close to that line and wanted to quash it before it got any bigger.
Anyway, have some scrunching ponies before I go to bed.

Reaction Image RepositoryAnd y'know, it suddenly occurs to me after an hour and a half that drawing something isn't the best way to cheer up a blind person. /facepalm
Anyway, it's a pic of Minty fighting the sockbomination and its minions.

I just got an unsolicited password reset email from Deviantart. Is someone trying to break into random Deviantart accounts? I have no idea why they'd target me when I haven't even posted anything.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayMe neither. I mean I've never posted or commented. No idea what was up with that.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHeh, mine's more a statement of the low opinion I have of my art.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectSame here.
Also sore. I started working out again this morning... I think I'll be lucky if I have use of my arms tomorrow...
