Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Yeah, the colours and formatting make a huge impact in this. Especially using the alternating colours when referring to 'her'. And splitting the excerpts would be a good idea too, though maybe to just separate pages within a single Google Doc instead of multiple Docs. Or put a full page of filler between them. Oh! I know! Get a picture for each excerpt to use as separators between them!
Oh Lyra, of course Olympia's a precision weapon! You have to be very precise when choosing which direction you want the murder to go!
You have been ambushed by a ninja rust monster! The creature forbids you from drawing a weapon, and offers to let you leave if you offer it one single weapon. Because you cannot draw the weapon, you must name which one you are willing to part with and it will take the weapon itself! Now you have a situation where telling the difference between two identical blades matters.
And the other half can write more fics!

Her mothers are The Great and Powerful Trixie, Twilight Sparkle and Luna. Yeah, that's largely it. I've only read one of the stories and that largely had to do with her dealing with the fact that she's related to Luna, so her genetic makeup still seems to be the part that you really need to know to get anything about her.
I wouldn't really say the NMM thing was kept under wraps, just that even if the ponies have human lifespans that's still several generations of ponies since NMM was banished. It would be easy for that to turn to myth then be forgotten, even if the calendar was based off the day she was defeated.
Personally I'm saying that it still follows lunar months, starting when NMM was banished. The New Moon phase each month is when Celestia takes a break from raising the moon. It's probably a lot of work to raise both that and the sun every day.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
I just checked because I was worried about that myself, and fortunately, Google Docs does support colored text.
Which is good, because, y'know, as you say, the color? Kinda important. The colors might change some, simply because reading off a Google Doc and reading off of this might require different colors to be visually readable, but I *can* pull it off, fortunately.
EDIT: Damn it, other ponies beat me to it.Last edited by EsperDerek; 2011-08-08 at 09:38 PM.

No, Google docs does allow for other font colors. I just checked, plus it was used in It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door to incredible effect. Seriously, it helped make one of my favorite scenes that I have ever read. [/gushing]

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
These are all pretty decent suggestions. I'm going to need to do *something* to space out the Excerpts, because that's part of the style as well.
...How did I end up writing so avant-garde?

Charger: Unrelated to the topic at hand:
Creative Writing in-class assignment: Write/draw/summarise your religious beliefs.
*Draws a picture of a man striding astride the globe, halo of light behind his head, one hand risen up into the network of the internet, the other hand on the head of the pony by his side*
Jayden: Good luck to the guy who's writing his essay based on that picture. Heh.
Mask: Heh, I remember one time I arrived for a tabletop and a friend of mine stopped me in the middle of the living room and we started doing exactly that. No planning, no communication, just 10 minutes of silent mimicry.
oh lawdy lawdy that had me Rolling. Had to ask a customer for time to breathe.
and he won the arguments?
Damn Thanqol is consistently ahead of me! Younger, goes to actual college, survives actual horrid wastelands, wins arguments with his component pieces...
I don't even wanna compete anymore. My first clue should have been his willingness for a face tattoo.
Jayden: But you can't stop competing! The envy cycle makes everything better!
but the joke doesn't work unless you're like, each 2 inches tall.*
... that is something else. Wow.
Charger: Perfect summary of MMBN4 as a game, really.
Jayden: Should I let her know I built a shrink ray? On one hoof, everypony's going to be tiny. On the other hoof, everypony's going to be tiny. I reckon that settles it. Hey Shimmer, have a present!
On a related subject, the whole Filly!Shimmer thing is gaining a dangerous amount of ground in my head. Even though I do precious little actual writing for my own characters (I prefer to work with others'), trust me that they are there, and this little pony is threatening to either usurp her older self's place in my head, or take up residence alongside her. The following song played on my iPod on the way home today and I very nearly cracked in half. I wish I understood this. It's honestly becoming frightening.

Awww man. You are right, Bleakbane. It only resets the one time you think "I'll be fine, it's. 15 second lark to copy a URL' is the one time the darn thing refreshes on ya.
I'm going to go diving back a couple pages to quote things (again ) but I figure I'd leave this here, alon with my thanks.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
EDIT: note to self. Refresh, then quote.
could be... Does sigma exist in the battle network continuity, or would it jut be a shout-out?
I get 503 errors so my posts don't get noted outside the thread.
Think it gets skipped by the "last unread post" button too.

I am considering saving all my expending of effort for much later, and just maybe doodling. 80% of my posts would have been discussing pokemon, anyway.
(I settled on Houndoom, since it has all the qualities of Mightyena but is also a Houndoom.)
And whoever posted the Scorpion!Shy, congratulations. First time I have ever squee'd/d'awww'd for fluttershy outside of Rainbows. You've chinned me armor, mates. now it's just a matter of time until I actually like her.Last edited by SiuiS; 2011-08-08 at 10:54 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
*headdesk*
I mean, compared to a rocket launcher, she might have a point...precision is a relative term, after all.
See, I keep having dreams about ponythread. It's becoming frequent enough to be worrying...
Also, I continue to find your psyche fascinating, Thanqol.
I would say that years would most likely be measured from the founding of Equestria, or the beginning of Celestia's reign. Also, given her relative prominence, I'd guess they use relatively standard solar months, although it does seem that events like solstices and equinoxes would be more important, since we already have the example of the Summer Sun Celebration in the show. Not sure which month the calender would start on though...
Absolutely!

I think it's all a matter of finding the proper caretaker. I wouldn't make use of them myself.
EDIT: This talk of dreams reminds me, I had a pony dream recently. All that has stuck with me from the dream was that Spike was a lich, and I've got a vague sense that Bleakbane was to blame.Last edited by Gadora; 2011-08-08 at 10:58 PM.

I actually wasn't putting myself forward as a candidate. I don't think I'm active enough in Ponythread to be a good choice.
EDIT: Oh, and there's also the fact that, while I wouldn't use them myself, I'd turn them over to the PINK ONE's minions at the first available opportunity.Last edited by Gadora; 2011-08-08 at 11:04 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Why does nopony ever consider slug shot? Much more on-point than your standard buck spray.
also, don't tell her about the precision targeting systems, or how redundant and failproof they are.
See, I keep having dreams about ponythread. It's becoming frequent enough to be worrying...
Ponythread dreams are also pretty wild, let me tell you...
Or dreams in the pony thread continuity? I've only ever had like, a half one of those. It was a Shimmer Snowflake (actually Fluttershy recolor) who looked sideways, all wide eyed, then looked back at me. Then she started to smile, began to wave...
... And zombies tore her apart. The dream took off into a whole different direction after that.

I hope that you enjoy it. (Or enjoyed it. ) I hope that anypony else who reads it while I'm gone enjoys it, too.
Anyways, it's time for me to head to bed, I have to be up early tomorrow to make it to my internship meeting. Wish me luck, everypony, and don't expect too many posts tomorrow, not until late, at least.

That seems perfectly normal to me. I think stuff like that all the time.
Of course, you will want to ask DBC about my definition of "perfectly normal" as he seems to think it's skewed
So to distract from that slightly creepy revelation, have some ponies:

Re: My Little Pony XIX: I Emptied Your Thread
Serves me right for trying to post and drive home at the same time. Catch up time, but in a box because its not really on topic.. you know?
Spoiler^^ Yay!! Filly!Pinkie pie!! She is so cuuute!!! Went a long way in making me smile again .
Heh, hadn’t thought I’d posted enough to have a Happy Braz, but thank you… it means a lot.
I try to do this too. The pony thread has helped me a lot in that area but... I find in real life it’s not always that people don’t realize what they’re doing. I guess I just have bad people around me, and I usually take it out on SiuiS, unfairly but I’m just afraid of getting hurt and… I guess I just I make it so that he hurts me…a lot…
@SiuiS
I’m sorry love, I really am. I don’t know how else to be.
Aww!!!!!! Omg that is sooo cute!
And… I’m sorry for not talking to you for an hour ><
In all seriousness, I don’t know how to apologize for the things I’ve done to you, and frankly apologizing would infer that it’s going to change and I can’t promise anything right now. You know me…I suck.
*hugs* me to!
*hugs*
I don’t either. Thank you. Those were all completely awesome!
You’re just plain awesome, you know that?
OMG BACON! I love bacon…T_T thank you!
*dies laughing*
Thank you, everypony for the hugs. I'm sorry if I missed a quote or two: I'm new to this mega-quoting and really not used to doing it on the laptop. ><
