Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Welcome to all of the fanon. You know all of those background ponies they randomly generated? Every single one? Yeah. We've created backstories and fanon for them. :P

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Ooh. That's actually kind of complicated; I freely admit that I like the idea of The Conversion Bureau more than I like a lot of the actual fiction.
For reference, I'll point you to the latest TCB thread on ponychan, since it's the most up to date reference available. From there, I'd say...
Background (if you want to be a compleatist):
THE ORIGINAL: The Conversion Bureau (Blaze) -- This is what established the setting.
First Contact (Purple Prose) -- An alternate origin story that established a lot of spin-offs of its own.
Complete:
Midnight's Tale (Midnight Shadow) -- One of my favorites, and the story that probably got me started with Topaz.
A Twist In The Tail (Midnight) -- A sequel of sorts to Midnight's Tale. BTW, neither of these is related to Esper's Midnight; Midnight is apparently a very popular pony name.
A Mare’s Tail (HiddenBrony) -- More grimdark than I usually manage to get through, but I found myself really liking the characters, and it ends well (in a sense).
Incomplete:
Change of Life (FirstTimePonyWriter) -- This is one of the fics on my personal OhMyGodItUpdatedMustReadNow list. It ships Rainbow Dash with a human. And it works.
An Azure Future (Krass McWriter) -- Ponysanity, TCB style.
Ponies of a Rising Sun (Purple Prose) -- I have kind of given up on this ever updating, but I liked the beginning.Blue Star Topaz is my name

Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Spoiler"Ah, I see," Charger said. A number of questions had been answered, reasonable guesses could be made about further ones - or the clockwork pony's lack of knowledge as to their answers. She contented herself with that; to question further would be rude. Better to simply accept that this was a thing which happened and move on.

Midnight is Learning
SpoilerLeo laughs a bit. "I have no objections to what I think you're offering, though to be honest, I've known a few other yous... We just had a Twilight Midnight show up a few years ago actually." He thinks for a moment, then looks up. "I know you don't approve of the Sol Society as a whole or think it's a respectable authority... But I do know how to get them off your back, if you will allow me to deliver a message to her, and she gives the response I need."Thanks to Dirty Tabs for the Travis pony.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
That's not too surprising, really. Midnight is a fairly simple name to come up with. I mean, hey, it's a time of day, after all. But it can also be used when you want your character to be dark and edgy. Not that I'm saying Midnight Shadow here is either of those things, I haven't read the story, but it's something I've encountered with other Midnight ponies.
I don't honestly even know if I was the first to use that name. I doubt it, honestly. I used Midnight for Trixie's mom because I thought it sort of fit well with what I was going for, considering how well 'Midnight' and 'Twilight' go together. Then it just fit for Midnight as a legacy name. A link from the past to the future.
In this biscuit's case, I think it's the chocolate chips.
Midnight is....
SpoilerMidnight gawks slightly, looking at Leo.
"Another me is one of your organization?" She shakes her head, and brushes that forelock out of her eyes again. "Another discussion for another time. For now..." She pauses, having a brief internal conversation. She then closes her eyes, and then opens them, revealing brilliant green eyes, with catlike pupils. Her body grows slightly, more graceful and sleek, the Princess-like aspects already visible on her still-awkward young body coming to the forefront. Brilliant celestial wings emerge from her back, and her horn lengthens and sharpens.
Nightmare smiles playfully at Leo. She...doesn't give off the aura of menace that Nightmare Moon did.
"Oh? What message would you have to deliver to me, suncolt? While we both don't recognize the authority, we also recognize that it would be far less trouble in our lives if they kept off our flanks, too. And believe me, Midnight's life is complex enough. I should know!"
She giggles.

SotS is awesome. I wish I still had it, I lost my copy when I had to reformat my hard disk. That's ok though, SotSII is coming out this month and I can't wait. Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge the money for it because I've been looking forward to this ever since it was announced.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
It's fair to say that neither Midnight Shadow nor Midnight Glen are "dark and edgy" (well, Midnight Shadow is literally dark). Poor Midnight Shadow is somewhat distressed to learn that everypony assumes that his is a filly's name...

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
But, Lyra! How could you... forget to come to the Blue Pony meetup?!
You really should have been there; I mean, unless you had something really important to do like stalking Twilight.
After all, if you had been there, you'd know how easily I can escape this lava by doing this! Raindrop's horn glows and one of the nearby clouds flies towards him. The cloud stops when it reaches Raindrop, and he hops on to it, floating safely above the lava.
Alternate response:
Oh, you're right! We're the only ones left. Um, sure I'd like to get some dinner. I know this place that's pretty good nearby. They specialize in food from Neighpon.
(Quickly somepony! I need a ponified restaurant name! Please?)
Good Luck!

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Yes and it looks to be truly glorious. Originally it was supposed to be out in August but it was pushed back to September and now October. I don't mind though, I'd prefer it be released when it's good and ready rather than get pushed out the door full of bugs.
To keep this pony related, have a comic.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Weird coincidence time! Not too long after I read this, I went to check EqD, and scrolling through the fanfic update list, I saw Ever Watching (the Slenderman crossover). Being a bit slow on some Internet-y things, I finally got around to searching for the name Slenderman on Know Your Meme, read the article, and decided to start watching the videos, all the while thinking that Marble Hornets sounded really familiar, before it finally occurred to me why. So now I got sucked in and am watching them all at 11:37 PM local time...woohoo!

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
More curiosity about pony gaming.
Three ways to go. The two I linked whay back yonder (page ten- will link in future) or just D&D with ponies in it.
Of the options, just D&D feels wonky, but may be best. The simpler, D20 pony game has the advantage of I know the system, but lacks some of the necessary elements to feel like D&D. The complicated system sounds really, really cool, and totally fitting. It has the disadvantage of everypony needing to learn a new system in order to play, though, and of being something I do not grok as easily as d20.
I also have no idea how to run a PbP game, Which is why I didn't volunteer immediately. The playground seems to have it's own customs and mannerisms, and let's be honest; DMing, or GMing, or even STing for a new group can be intimidating as all get-out. Related, I'm askin this general statement1 here because I know you folks.
How I can worry make blueblood look good bu worry about judgement in gaming of all things is a touch of a mystery though...
Somewhat related, I enjoy making characters for fun, I enjoy pondering new systems as a leisure activity, and I like showing examples to try and get other ponies to do the same. So without further ado, character sheets!

Ever bright-eyed, he has a chipper voice and brogue-ish inflection, varying in tone from low, slow and soothing to deeper, shriller and louder when agitated. His saddlebags and work knife are concealed somewhat under a tattered-looking dull forest green cloak, and his face is often protected by a wide brimmed wizard's hat, complete with floppy point.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Don't a good number of restaurants have their names based off of a person's name or the name of the food? I mean, drive down the street, most any locally owned place will be _____'s.
Could go with: Lyra's
With some script on the sign saying: Experience the food of Roam!
You know, something like that. Maybe not Lyra, since she is obviously not Roamin (except between Ponyville and Canterlot).
Its from Hey Arnold, a show on nickelodeon from about...10....15 years backish?

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Saw that, went "Yay". I'm still finding it weird to see things here before they come out on ED.
Hrm, for Pinkie Pie I was going to suggest empty baloon outlines, which first appear then fill with colour. But the party-every-level thing suits her personality more.
Fluttershy ... maybe some green cocoon/leaves that are replaced with Butterflies? Or some pink flower's that are replaced with Butterflies ... maybe if you can get the petals to resemble wings. (Just thinking back to the original Posey pony concept of Fluttershy)
Clockwork RP
Spoiler"Oh, well that's nifty" Igneous replied after Second Hand had finished explaining. "You'd be a natural for the Night Guard now that they're recruiting again, what with the not needing to sleep bit. One of my favourite instructors was the head of that division."
He tapped his chin with his hoof for a moment as he thought about how best to answer the clockwork pony's query.
"Oh, well I could probably talk your ear off all day. Umm, lets see, how far back should I begin? I left home a few years back in order to work on a cousin's farm for a while when they were short handed, but got bored of that rather quickly. Things picked up there though, and they eventually hired some more staff to take the slack, so I was freed up from that. Decided to come to Canterlot about a year ago to study, but ended up signing up (or rather being signed up) for the Guard following rather large accident in the thaumaturgical research department.
Finished basic only recently, which was a blast let me tell you. I think I did well, at least my instructor said I had potential. How did he put it ... erm "lots of room to improve" or something along those lines. Apart from a few minor postings, the sort of stuff they get you to do while nothing major is going on, haven't done much else until I got this special assignment."
He grinned at the memories.
"Ahh good times ..."
He would have continued, but Charger took that moment to ask her query and Igneous fell silent lest he interrupt.

Am assuming you're after japanese sounding ones?

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Yeah, I remember those days. Before that several fics went with the idea that Twilight was an orphan raised by Celestia. This reminds me, we haven't seen Twilight's folks in yet in the OitCverse. Might they show up at some point?
@Kindablue: Yeah, it has to be a Hey Arnold reference. I was getting Hey Arnold vibes from it even before Snails showed up and that hoof to the face sealed it.

Re: My Little Pony XXVI: Applebloom to Zecora!
Yeeeeahhh... Yeah. I did the same thing. However like I said it apparently wouldn't have mattered, because it took me over a week to be able to fall asleep. And I'm narcoleptic. So yeah. That was an impressive amount of fear. XD
Agreed. I hate it when people push games out to make a release. I'd rather wait for a polished, completed product than get a poorly made one quicker.
Huh, well then. I stand corrected. I didn't think you'd been a Brony for that long for some reason. XD
Although I some level I do compare everypony else's timeline against my own, and I didn't become a Brony until the week after episode 26 came out.Avatar by DirtyTabs in the Adopt-A-Pony thread.
