Husband, huh? Geeze, just how many alicorns are there?
In answer to your question, this nutcase has invented a retrovirus capable of turning normal ponies into alicorns. You can imagine how well that would turn out. Anyway, he has plans to feed this retrovirus to every. Single. Pony in all of Ponyville. Do you have any idea how much that will complicate my inevitable triumph over Equestria? As if Luna and Celestia weren't bad enough, topped off with your own blazing person, now I'd have to fight through wave after wave of brightly colored, overpowered ponies!
So, we decided to strangle him.
YES.

Where are you in it? I loved reading it, it's one of my favorites. Puppy is the most depressing happy pony ever... (For people that have trouble reading that properly, I meant for a happy pony, she can make you sad.)
Are you reading it because of Wanderer D's Sweetie Chronicles, or just because you want to?
Speaking of that hat, I'm considering replacing the pin on the front (or maybe just getting another few pins to wear on it).
Does anypony know where I can get a pony-shaped lapel pin, preferably not colored in any way? There's this, but I'm not sure she does orders outside of her set dates, and the silhouettes are black, not metallic, anyway. Are there any other ones or does anyone have experience with one of the companies that will make you a pin?

Oh, and the magic of robotics. By which I mean just regular robotics.
Yeah, unless your MonoDome or whatever has the defense rating of a god, than you're pretty much screwed as is. I suggest you surrender before I have to waste ammunition.

Middle of chapter three. Don't get me wrong; it's absolutely brilliant, and a very well written fic. It's just that she's so darn happy and optimistic and clueless that it makes me want to cry.
I'd heard of it and put it on the "to-read" list, even taken a look at the Tvtropes page. But, when the Fragments fic had it there, I had to read it in order to get the context.

Unfortunately, no. However, those are some very good pins; I use them as tie tacks.

So much for the Guild of Chains Monthly coverpony. Are you seriously telling me that getup is more secure than our Golden Manacles?
And hey, what happened to the enchanted Luchadore mask! Those things don't grow on trees you know!
Edit:
I don't think you have to say that. I didn't, anyway. Isn't that a Fox thing? This is clearly a Bear. Or a Robot. Or something.

Let nopony say Monobear is not fair, just and even-handed.

I sense a misunderstanding coming on here.
The Seafoam one wasn't an Alicorn until Boffinspark's interference. She also wasn't openly megalomaniacal. Presumably, post retrovirus Ponyville will be a small town entirely full of Megalomaniac Alicorns all intent on overthrowing Celestia and conquoring the world.
If this is a problem for you, then you should...I don't know, do whatever it is you would do about such an issue. File a strongly worded report?

Given who she was cloned from, I'm not entirely convinced the megalomaniacal part was Boffinspark's fault. That sort of thing seems to be endemic among mad scientists.
If needed, he did come up with an antidote after one of the test subjects tried to conquer the ship.

*Teleports inside of dome and right next to Monobear. Shoots the fluffy son of a b*tch square in the head with a shotgun*
You said I couldn't shoot the dome, but you didn't say that I couldn't shoot you.
Now, Mask, let's find a way to get you out of here.
*Monobear explodes, almost as if he was full of explosives*
*Monitor flicks on with another Monobear*
I'm sick and tired of you bastards smashing up my Monobears!
Anyway, Mask was within the blast radius of that explosion. Good news was the blast probably burned the ropes off. Along with everything above the skeleton.
You know some necromancers, right?

So what you're saying is that the Equestrian administration has no major objection to the mass involuntary mutation of the ponyfolk of an entire town? Interesting.
Joyreaper, make a note.
Ma'am.
Excuse me a moment, Regeln. MASK WILL BE MINE!

Some of us Necromancers know more than how to reanimate dead flesh, too. Like shadowportation.
The ropes stay on.
Also my head hurts. Who's messing with the timestream? You can't have her, I stole her fair and square!

Back to ponies.
What's the story with the name Big Macintosh? The official-ish material I've seen has him as Big McIntosh, but Big Macintosh seems to be the name most fans use.
Really? You really think that was the real Mask? You should know that that masked mare is a master of deceit and cannot be killed with simple explosives. You merely blew up a dummy.

Situational awareness, folks. Situation has been penguined.
I believe that basically, Faust prefers McIntosh but as no-one saw it written down, everyone defaulted to the more familiar Macintosh.
Edit: Would it be an idea to start a Ponythread RP Runoff thread in the freeform RP section, for thread-based RP to spill into when it crops up above a single reference or so?

I'm not sure. McIntosh is the name of the actual apple, but Macintosh shortens to Mac more clearly. Pure speculation here, but I think people assumed it was spelled "Macintosh" because that's the more common spelling, what with the computers having been around so much the past decade and the apples less so.

Not openly, anyway. But now my eyes have been opened! We have mad scientists left and right, a destroyed capital, and absent, do-nothing princesses! It's time for a change!

Heh. The element of airships, never using them. How much you want to bet he's not actually got anything in all those guns?

Okay, Blunt, we have a large opportunity and a small window of opportunity in which to do it. We have half of ponythread trapped in a nigh impenetrable sphere. We also have some alicorn-hood granting muffins-o'doom.
First order of business: Use the duplicator to make more muffins, then stick them in the stasis stall.
Second order of business: fire up the matter transference device. I want fifty grenukes inside that sphere two minutes ago.
Oh, they'll rue the day they made a murderer out of me.
... As you wish, though I feel I must advise you that this is an unwise course to pursue.
Duly noted. Do it anyway.
Um. Pony... Right, what now?
Hey, Thanqol: have you finished Fallout: Equestria yet?

Yeah the computers almost surely played a big part there. I also think people default to the phonetic spelling, and McIntosh doesn't have an A in it anywhere, so how could it possibly be the right spelling? /sarcasm.
Oh, I have a random pony question. If you could introduce one magic spell into the show, what would it be? It doesn't have to be cast by Twilight, and it could involve a new character with a special talent just for that spell if you want.
My idea would be a recording spell. I think it would make for an interesting episode if Twilight gained the ability to have ponies take messages and even magical video for her while she was absent, but as a result it would start building up more and more and she would over-commit herself, leading to a big mess near the end. She would end up having her friends help her sort it all out, and learn a lesson about trying to do too many things at once and being unfocused.
