Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Had a weird pony dream (is there any other kind?)
SpoilerI can't remember the first part very well, something about a portal and time/space being all wrapped up wrong and the Elements and a stone from the other side being used together to close it and fix it up. But then there was this human who had armor which apparently doubled as a fighter jet when expanded. Very cheesy. And she was pissed because of the whole portal business, and decided to chase a fairy-like Rainbow Dash and something about her just being a dumb pony, but of course a pony has no trouble flying in and out among trees and being generally low to the ground, but just you try that in a fighter jet. It didn't help on her being pissed, but I don't remember how/if it ended
I'm totally ashamed of my dreaming mind. It comes up with some really cringe-worthy stories

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Sharing the joy of Pony, one person at a time.
Have you seen the latest Care Bears tv series, Welcome to Care-a-lot? You could conquor them with a baseball bat and a 6-pack of Jones Soda. I think Derpy would be a more dangerous villain than the Beastly on that show has been putting out.
Sad too, historically Care Bears had some pretty nasty villainy.
LOL, I know that reference! That's hilarious! And for me its 7am AND I have coffee

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Been a busy few pages of ponythread. Semi-mega-quotepost, though nothing compared to some of SiuiS' better relics.
So, the interesting thing about this, aside from the fact that it's in fitting with someone of Discord's apparent intelligence and power level, is that it actually has a tiny thread of support. Go back and look at the season 2 full cast posters. Specifically, this one
Spoiler
Observe that Discord is in fact standing there admiring his own statue. Now, this poster is hardly canon for anything that could happen in the show, but it does provide us a vector image of Discord admiring his own statue. Coincidence, or conspiracy?
I filled out your survey. You don't need to shout my name though. I'm happy to help, you just needed to ask.
Also, have you tried going to shopping websites by way of consumer products websites? I've been told that there is a noticeable price difference if you hit up a shopping site from somewhere like consumer reports instead of going directly to the shopping website.
Edit: by the way, I looked at that article you linked about price discrimination, and oh my god I've read that Netflix Study by Narayanan and Shmatikov. It was used in the context of a paper for the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology the usefulness vs. dangers of allowing collection of information about people online. I could get you a copy if you want.
Hee, this is funny. I actually went to a maid cafe in Tokyo last week before I left Japan and one of the waitresses was wearing black and purple kitty ears and a purple and pink mark on her dress that strongly reminded me of Twilight Sparkle, although that particular waitress didn't serve me, so I never got to ask her about it.
Having DMed for both of them, I suggest that SiuiS is, from time to time, more profound and less coherent than Thanqol.
My god, you're right. How did you notice that? I can never keep track of his multiple personas in the same post.
I'll take 20 of them, paint 6 in the mane 6 color scheme, 6 more like changelings, and the rest like Luna.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Fun Theory Time (after playing Skyrim last night):
I was thinking about the two sisters and their ability to raise the Sun and Moon, but do they raise them seperately? Because if 1000 years ago Luna refused to move the moon, why couldn't Celestia just raise the sun anyway, which would overpower a night sky with or without a moon?
My theory is perhaps they aren't raising the sun and moon, but they control the rotation of Equestria between a day and night side. If they're equally powerful, then Celestia could not force the land's rotation back to the sun-side because Luna's power of keeping the land on the night side would cancel out Celestia's effort to move it.
This would explain Celestia's ability to control both day/night cycles while NMM was imprisoned (she can rotate Equestria herself) and explain why the sun didn't rise until Celestia's release in the pilot episode.
LOL, that is cute. My fav Derpy images are ones she misinterprets words, but still succeeds at winning.
Excellent! Thanks
Yeah, but if I correct it, I'll end up with a long line of friends attempting to end me with a basket full of day-old muffins after the DM stunt I pulled off last month. I think I'll play it safe and stick to my original statement. I'll live longer.
Generally I threaten to put them in "The Box" and they shut up at that point.

*skulldesk*
Seriously?
On the positive side, there also appears to be a RD/Spike shipping story (and I wrote it that way around for a reason). That looks like a giggle, will read shortly (makes a nice break between the desparate attempt to paint the last ten Jalyrkieon vehicles up mostly today, since it's my last full day at it and I want to use them on Thursday). After Rarity, I think RD is Spike's next best fit in the Mane Six - they do have a fair bit in common, and I never have forgotten Spike's initial comment about RD, so...!

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
The rate I read, even having a kindle would only solve the space problem, not the quanity or cost issues...
I may well get one, eventually (Mum's just had one this past year), but not for a bit.
Not really a problem; after all, my DS/GBA/PSP accompany me pretty much everywhere, and I keep them all charged, so...
Elendil is even better, though.
Even Aragorn knew that...!

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Don't know how you feel about alternate history stories
but you may want to look at "The Gamekeeepers Night Dog"
..starts with the saving of the Traditional English Bulldog which represents the manliness/vigor of England
--England starting the Boer war early
--which moves up the start of WWI
--both at accelerated tech levels(but with old school war dogs thrown in)
--later books have US rejoining the Pax Brittanica
---a worldwide communist insurrection against the british empire
---Gorillas being genetically engineered to Sentience
---intergalactic war vs everyone else
yeah...i dont really do it justice
the first book is a little rough since it was his first work of fiction, but the premise was interesting enough to get through any rough writing
--and it wasnt that bad since he has done many non-fic books on the subject of bulldogsPonies 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 LI: FE
Prereaders
Alright! Chapter 1 of II is almost ready, just needs the usual critique and last tweaking. So help me out, tell me what's good and what's bad and what could be better. I want this story to be great.
I could in particular use some help with the Scottish accent, I get the feeling there are many places it could be improved, even in this small part. Note it's only an accent and not full Scots.
Also feel free to help make the description below better. I want it to draw people's attention and make them want to read the story. It feels maybe a little wordy right now.
I'm thinking of dropping the Sad tag, because I figure most of it is covered by the Dark tag anyway. What would you say makes a story specifically sad?
[Dark][Romance][Sad]
Can a heartless pony live and love? Twilight Sparkle is at a loss for answers after Rainbow Dash runs off in anger and narrowly escapes her death in the Everfree. Now time is running out as a dispute dating back to a wish Luna made thousands of years ago threatens the destruction of Equestria. When even the Elements can not hope to avert the tide of war, will Twilight give up the Magic of Friendship for one wish to save her love and all of Equestria, or will she fight and loose everything?

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Woo.
After another mentally exhausting day's painting, the Jalyrkieons are all but finished. Just a bit of work on the symbol, some tidying up, and some lining to do (though I use a 0.1mm pen for that); I shold be able to do the latter after wargames. (You have to wait absolutely ages for the paint to dry to use the pen).
Then all I've got to do tomorrow evening is basetex the infantry and the first batch is done! (With luck, there might be photos on Wednesday!)
And then I've got to start the process all over again for the next batch of vehicles, from the design stage...! Why do I insist on rolling out a new army for every convention, guys...? *skulldesk* *sobs*
(Actually, the Jalyrkieons aren't the only army that'll be going in... There's the start of my next project... the greatest army - and space force - in existance...)

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
Probably the Shardan/Marauders and/or the Blastarons and their mortal enemies (and especially the top levels of the latter pair's echelons, since those guys are sufficiently good to be on an actual diety killing level. (Actual greater-deity-on-their-home-plane-killing level.) And on up.)

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
SpoilerA branch hit her across the muzzle and left the sharp tang of blood on her trembling lips.
first thought is that if this is RD, why is she on hoof? shes the best flier anywhere and loves it besides
But it had a little logo stamped on the back, a simple pair of wings with a bolt of lightning down the middle. It wasn't very prominent, as if it didn't want to get you too excited.
She had carried it like a fragile and precious thing and sat down on a couch to stare at it.
"She carried it delicately over to the couch"?
avoids stating shes staring at it twice
She picked up pace, feelingthefrustration and anger well up inside her at the memory of the letter and the weeks that followed.
i feel like the flutterdash relationship should be better established when RD sees those 2 together. it lacks impact otherwise
She thought she heard something move in the darkness behind her and turned, glaring at the shadows. She knew the forest was dangerous, but she was angry, she wasn't thinking, and she just didn't care. “Come out and face me,” she cried into the dark. The forest was listening again, there were no sounds. Then a twig snapped behind her. Rainbow Dash spun around and rushed forward, but one of her legs stayed behind. She fell over with a pained cry as the leg was twisted and pulled.
so now shes facing the same direction as she started?
The whole ground began to tremble under her as all the roots came to life,(remove this comma) like a pit of angry snakes, and she was sitting right on top of it.(! maybe)
also, wouldnt one be in the middle of a pit of snakes?
It was a mare's voice, quite soft but wary.
i think you have to use "and"
soft and wary aren't contrary terms
She turned carefully and winched winced
zombie RD wat!?
strong finish, but i feel like it needs more groundwork, or maybe a slightly different approach. soarin/shy is supposed to be a bombshell, but the en medias res style hurts it
edit: almost forgot: why you kill everything i love
not my best critique, but i have a migraine.Last edited by thubby; 2012-08-20 at 12:24 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LI: FE
SpoilerThanks, I'll see how I can improve things.
It was important for me not to spend too much time establishing any prior relationships or feelings, because it's meant to be a TwiDash story and not FlutterDash (or Soarin'shy). Dash's feelings for Fluttershy will naturally play an important part, but they need to be established without derailing the story. I'll see if I can make it a little more explicit, but I'd like to avoid dwelling too much on it or letting it take over the action of the story. For now the reader just needs to know that Dash had feelings for Shy but apparently she didn't know.
