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?

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?

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.

Not a God. Super High School Level Industrial Engineering!

*An enormous Monobear-shaped armoured metallic dome slams into place around half of Ponythread, equipped with miniguns, lasers, ray shields, carnivorous plants etc. The half of Ponythread trapped inside is subjected to Monobear Theatre, wherein Monobear espouses pro-Monobear philosophies*

Fire on the MonoDome and the pony gets it.

Monobear you broke the rules!

Before kidnapping Mask you have to say this:

Otherwise it's just not the same, right Mask? *Goes on reading book inside Monobear dome

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

Ding dong! There has been a murder in the Ponythread. We will now conduct a trial to determine who was responsible.

You might want to look at the pony who shot the bear full of explosives!

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.

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.
