Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
"I casted a modified"
this is not a word. it would just be "cast"
"The beast impacted into some of the less fortunate ones"
smashed, slammed, "collided with" all work. "impacted into" is just awkward if it isn't some grammar violation.
" As I had learned can project somepony considerably farther than when it is used in the real world. "
this sentence, and what follows, is a mess.
ok then...
I'm not saying this to be mean, but that was borderline unreadable. you really need to clean up, like, all of it. many of your sentences are actually 2 or 3 ideas mashed together.
i think the issue is that you have a specific image in your head and you're trying to put it all on the page. that's not something you can do when telling a story.
you want to start with the minimum necessary detail to convey what's happening.
for example
"After My spell made quick work of the rest of the candy behemoths as I sent blue wave after blue wave at the enemy, I smiled and began to trot towards the monsters to see if that beating had released the mares I was trying to save."
setting aside that you could make 3 sentences out of this. why do we care that the magic is blue?
it's a first person story, and it's her magic, so she wouldn't care. and it doesn't really impact anything.
little character details like that can be put almost anywhere. off the top of my head it would come up when her magic interacts with someone else's.
the "wave after wave" part is trying to give emotional weight to something shes doing with ease, which is contradictory.
all that said, i like dream stories. if you ever need inspiration, check out paprika.
i also like the protagonist's attitude and character so far. just keep in mind that sarcastic whit can't be her entire character.Last edited by thubby; 2012-05-05 at 04:43 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Speaking of, did I ever tell the story of how I became a fan of this show?
See, I watch a couple of channels on Youtube quite avidly. The Yogscast Minecraft videos, and two guys called Peanut3423 and Joshscorcher.
Now, these two guys mostly do video game countdowns. However, one day, Joshscorcher posted a review of the Friendship is Magic Season 1 pilot. (Warning, bit of strong language, but not much)
I watched. Found it hilarious (as I always find Josh). Points out the flaws as well as the merits, quite balanced.
Then, decided to watch an actual episode.
Never went back!

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
And here's his review of Season 2 opener here.
All in all, not only is he funny, he does give a balanced review.
Says he's working on the Season 2 Finale right now.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
His review was pretty neutral and I loved his reactions. My favorite was the "THEY CHANGED IT THEY CHANGED IT" when he heard the theme.
And his reaction to Fluttershy was priceless. "I USED TO BE THAT. IT'S LIKE LOOKING IN A MIRROR! "
Might as well add in "I'm the fireyjoker and I am not a Brony. Tell me to brohoof AND. I. WILL. HURT. YOU."
And the fact he got found out and given a brony shirt.Last edited by Merellis; 2012-05-05 at 05:07 AM.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
So I substitute teach at a school. During club time, the anime club decided to watch Call of the Cutie. The episode was better than I remembered. Also, friendship is magic is BIG at that school; there are multiple drawings of Gilda (of all things) up around campus.
Also, did another podcast episode. My co-host got to choose something special for his birthday. I'm not sure why he went the masochistic route.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Alright, brony conversion story!
SpoilerIf, two months ago, you had told me that I'd be cruising the net looking at My Little Pony, I'd have laughed in your face. Either that, or perhaps attempted grievous bodily harm upon your personage.
I had seen a bit of pony artwork before, relating to a couple webcomics I'd liked. (Ozy and Millie as ponies. Yup, we've gotten to DC Simpson as well.) I'd seen the Weregeek crew debate which pony was best, to my great confusion.
It was only around a month or two ago that I first got involved beyond chance encounters. Heck, it was a chance encounter that led me to the fandom. I have no idea how I got to Lurking Rythmically, but it was probably a random D&D thing. After all, who could resist a post connecting D&D classes and different ponies?
The answer? Not me.
I read the article, at first kind of incredulous at myself. What was I doing, reading about ponies, for crying out loud? Then I clicked play on the youtube link the blog's author provided. As a fan of any and all Looney Tunes, I was immediately hooked by Pinkie chasing Rainbow Dash like Pepe le Pew.
"What the heck," I said. "Let's watch one episode. If I hate it, it's what, twenty minutes gone?"
And the rest, as they say, is history.I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
...WOW!
...Really, that Fallout Equestria is pretty awesome, it's like Fallout 3 overdramatized to Fallout 1-2 levels
SpoilerThough, had to break my poor head to understand what was happening at the end
.....And really, it's so focused on story it makes me think that humans are warriors cuz fallout 3 has so much more action, if that's true, a pony humanborn would be coolExtended sig

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Pony humanborn? Does he do shout magic in human language? Also, ultimate humanslayer?
Hm, someone should make a Skyrim trailer parody, with humans instead of dragons, and Lyra as the Humanborn.

I would introduce you to some of our OC's but there are a few people with so many of em i am not always sure they can keep them straight.
we have beings posting here from across the spectrum..

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
My conversion story isn't all that interesting, so I think I'll wait a couple of weeks and tell it on my poniversary.
As for the Elements of the Stick... I think I'll map the canon Elements onto them, rather than taking the Commodore's tack of new ones.
Laughter is Elan, no question.
Either Loyalty or Generosity could, I think, go to either Haley or Durkon. And the other to the other, of course.
It might seem odd, but I'd put Belkar for Honesty.
Roy, despite the plausible parallels to Twilight, strikes me as the best fit of the group for Kindness.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
I can recommend Trails and Trials as being worth a read. Rather a good take on Derpy (or Ditzy in this case), excellent mix of comedy and drama.
I suggest the more sensitive ponies among you take their hankies for the more emotionally powerful moments...

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Yeah, for me the most unnerving part of this chain of events is that it's entirely possible that the correct phrasing there would be "Teeming with Gummy", as I'm not sure it even understands linear time.
I'm just going to blindly assume that this will all be fine. After all, the creature was almost entirely made from Pony DNA, what's the worst that could happen?
Of course, I wonder if it might not be prudent to contact the Expendable Minion agency and see about recruiting. I could just grow some I suppose, but I'm not sure how many interesting development's i'm willing to risk in a short time.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Let's see, my take on the order.
Durkon, with his absolute lawfulness, is Loyalty.
V, of course, can be nothing but Magic. (Granted, it doesn't really fit with the magic of friendship, but what can ya do?)
Belkar, if you'll believe me, is the element of Kindness. Discorded, obviously, but still there. (Think back to when he got a higher Wisdom score.)
Elan is Laughter. 'Nuff Said.
Roy could qualify as an excellent element of Honesty. Granted, most of his honesty involves snark or sarcasm, but never mind that.
That leaves Haley as the Element of Generosity, perhaps discorded.Last edited by Balmas; 2012-05-05 at 12:22 PM.

Durkon is Loyalty
Elan is Kindness
Haley is Generosity (stay with me here)
