Like this!

And seriously, if the show's not your thing, then its not. Just understand that it is liked by a lot of people, and for the simple reason that (contrary to expectations, probability, or many experiences with earlier gen MLP) its actually well-written, beautifully animated, and has engaging characters.

Of course, the part where the show's creator also did Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends has something to do with all that.

Vexarian · Sep 27, 2011

I've been watching the show over the past few days. It's alright.

I'm just fucking shocked that anyone's actually written fanfiction for it.

Seriously this is like that time I came across that Dexter's Laboratory/Power Puff Girls/Invader Zim Crossover "Doujinshi". My mind is just so full of fuck.

I haven't 'joined the herd' but I find the universe itself fascinating, especially for a girl/family show. I don't recall anything like a Manticores, Hydra's, Cockatrice or Elder Dragons showing up in the original MLP. I'm also pretty sure the G1 ponies weren't business owners (Applejack/Rarity).

Then there's the Everfree forest, where plants grow, the animals take care of themselves and the clouds move all on their own. This place frightens most of the ponies, which is at first surprising when you see how powerful these mares are. Yet I now understand why they are afraid. The Everfree forest is a place that dosen't need THEM and the idea of being useless and obsolete frightens them.

Then there's Twilight Sparkle, who appears to be a reborn Mystra goddess of magic in her youth. Give her a few more years to come into her true power and you're going to se her tossing around Silver Fire.

That's why we people writ fanfiction for the series, it provides a rich universe wth diverse and interesting characters, and enough charm and mystery to stir the imagination, with just a spark from me or you.

Might be. This was years ago.

A short cute animated feature someone made called <a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/fan-animation-present-prank.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>"Present Prank"</a>. Posting it in case anyone missed it or don't visit Equestria Daily very often.

It involved Pinky Pie and is adorable.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-silent-ponyville.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Silent Ponyville</a> has updated with multiple continuations as well as spin offs.

I've read a good number of Silent Hill fanfics and I've read a good number of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfics. The stories featured within that thread are not only decent, but clever and well developed as well (the newest ones can't be called 'well developed' as they're still developing, but are off to decent starts) with only the occasional spelling error.

A few prominent OCs are inevitable for the sake of a few of the stories, but all in all, I consider them well above average.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/story-my-little-hangover.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>My Little Hangover</a> is up to chapter 5 and has a number of amusing bits within. I couldn't help but think that, even if you dislike her, Katie Perry's "TGIF" song should be playing during Chapter 2.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-and-then-then-she-exploded-twice.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>And Then She Exploded! TWICE!</a> - A fanfic wherein Rainbow Dash reads another fanfic about her, and decides to make her OWN fanfic.

She then goes looking for praise. Why, that sounds like many other newbie fanfic writers! Surely, Rainbow Dash won't fall to those pit traps of early fanfic writing, right?

Right?

Probably made to nitpick others. I'm mostly noting it because I was amused by the concept.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/story-everypony-loves-dash.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Everyone Loves Rainbow Dash</a> - Rainbow Dash wakes up one morning to find that everyone in Ponyville seems to have the hots for her. My only real complaint towards this story is that it could've been condensed down to one long fanfic rather than the 16 or so 3 page chapters it is.

Edit: <a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/story-dairies-of-equestrian-overlord.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Diaries of an Equestrian Overlord</a>. Found it today. It's 172 pages, fun, disturbing and, strangely, heart-warming. Ya silly little peanuts.

I really can't seem to like this. Adding humans in, mostly it seems to Celestia can genocide them off seems rather ham handed.

Well to be fair, she IS writing about it a thousand years after the fact, and there's no use crying over spilled milk.

I thought she was rather blaise about it too, but.... if you're still curious, I'd suggest finishing it and checking out the side story to clarify a few matters.

It is a lot of reading, so if you don't want to do it, I'll post a quote box with a few moderate spoilers that might help explain certain events.

Fallout Equestria is up to chapter 31.

Edit: my only complaint is that Equestria Daily uses Google Documents, which lags the my computer quite a bit if I open up multiple chapters of any story. Really, I couldn't care less whether or not other people are reading the same document. <_<

What's up with MLP fanfics and using google docs anyway? It's kinda annoying compared to FFN

zeebee1 · Oct 15, 2011

If I wanted to save my fanfics I'd press save.

To be specific, I think it has to do with the site.

Ordo · Oct 15, 2011

So eithr TW is channeling gannon from the Zelda cartoon or she's been chatting with Nighcrawler.

Notes: Rainbow Dash is now classified as a weapon of Mass Destruction...or would that be a pony-typhoon.....

Fluttershy can snap the necks of godless killing machines, and Big Macintosh is Ponyville's answer to the Juggernaut.

Souffle · Oct 15, 2011

zeebee1 said:

It has to do with most of these people never writing/reading fanfics before but now getting into it. Also GDocs while not that great as a reading tool is amazing as an editing one. Editing shit on ffn is ass.

MEANWHILE

That episode. That episode. I have the widest smile right now and it hurts. I can't stop smiling.

Ordo · Oct 15, 2011

Souffle said:

That entire episode was for the Bronies. Also Big Mac....we need to talk man.

Oh....when Celestia appeared the first thing I thought was

"Oh Crap....her full name...."

Souffle · Oct 15, 2011

I wouldn't say it was 'for the bronies' but it was still very good. And had a lot of scenes the Askpony tumblrs are going to have a field day with.

Ordo · Oct 15, 2011

Yeah, Equestria Daily has already said that fics wherein Rainbow Dash breaks her wings are banned. They have a point. Unless she crashes into Superman coming in the opposite direction she's unlikely to break her wings at this point.

Twilight seems to be making heavy use of teleport lately, and we have proof that Big Mac is indeed a powerhouse. Also....I'd suggest no one ever pulls a 'break the cutie' on fluttershy as I dread to think of the monster they'd unleash upon the world.

Other than that Spike had two fourth wall breaking moments so perhaps our little dragon has been hanging around Pinki Pie a bit.

SotF · Oct 16, 2011

Well, superman or another pegasus...

Souffle · Oct 16, 2011

A Curious Stranger · Oct 16, 2011

Alright, goddamnit. I'm about to cave under the massive pressure from /co/ and other forums. Where can I find episodes?

...No one can ever know...

Ordo · Oct 16, 2011

A Curious Stranger said:

Youtube has most of the episodes if you know their titles. Here's a <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic_episodes' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>list.</a>

Also, Equestira Daily has some links, and then there's <a href='http://ponyarchive.org/seasons/s1.php' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Ponyarchive.</a>

Enjoy.

Edit:

Things I expect someone will do soon. Calculate Rainbow Dash's bite strength, write fanfics wherein Big Mac is a closet Brony (No one can know mah secret...) and several updates to TS listed magical abilities.

A Curious Stranger · Oct 16, 2011

Get that disgusting Pinky Pie out of my face. From the few clips I've seen, Fluttershy is my only waifu!

Ordo · Oct 16, 2011

A Curious Stranger said:

What's wrong with Pinki Pie?

Edit:

And if you're having that reaction to Flutterhsy from a few clips I might as well repost this now and save us time later.

Also after having watched all these episodes, I would argue that by 'Elder Scrolls rules' the girls fit into the following party roles.

Twilight Sparkle: Mage, full stop
Apple Jack: Warrior
Rainbow Dash: Monk
Rarity: Spellsword
Fluttershy: Healer, full stop
Pinki Pie: Bard
Spike: Dovahkiin

I love how Derpy's eyes went back to being unfocused after the dispel.
