That is an hour+ well spent.

I agree! Totally! I don't know if it's bad that I think to have gotten most of the references or not. XD

To be honest I personally feel that is what this thread could use.

So, did I miss anything with the tl;dr or am I fine with not having bucks to give?

Hon. Mechwarriors;

Pony is inspirational. This may be due to the malevolent influence of the Tavistokian boobtube medium. It may be due to the intelligence and maturity the writters snuck into the MLP FIM franchise. We all may just like bright pastels and the struggle for virtue, who knows? I for one have tumbled down the Angel hole of learning how much one has to learn before doing justice to the fanfic that wants out of my head.

I am writing a Battletech MLP crossover and having a good time of it. One of the characters is Diane, a House Mare-ick mechwarrior from the Trellisane province of Equestria. Noblese Oblige, and universal military conscription are the tools I chose to recall Diane from the innactive ready reserve for the story. Such things are not always met with universal enthusiasm.




Diane, aka Pinkie 3.14 is a polymath wiz with math and computing who would much rather host her Langley LAN party than serve at the whim of a PDD (Princess Decision Directive).



Unfortunately the good folks planning the mission chose to place thier faith in the hands of an expert computing model rather than the good judgement of proven ponies in uniform. One of the criteria for the mission was previous hooves on experience with Battlemechs in the field.



Boot Camp and 2 years of service peace keeping in the Anton Rebelion worlds has made for some entertaining writing for these fillys. One of the things I have bumped into was recently brought up here by Jade Kitsune, the many colourful psychological profiles of the MLP characters. As I am writing a fanfic, I felt obligated to obtain a firm grasp on what makes these ponies tick. This required more reading. The more I dig into this writing thing, the more I find that needs doing. If I wasn't enjoying myself, this would be work. At some point in July I hope to know enough about the craft to keep ahead of the crowd and do justice to the Party Cannon and company.



I should have a five chapter short story ready for the August debut of MWO. As most of the rock'em sock'em action will be predicated on the MWO battle format between fluffy exposition, various battles here will likely be used to determine win/lose/draw turning points for the writing to come. Let me know if you would enjoy the opportunity to influence the outcome of such battles with your own efforts here on MWO and I may include yer alter ego in a cameo.

Respectfully

Samaritan

There's also the fact that she's constantly putting Fluttershy down, and was cheating in her race against Applejack.

In the one about the dragon snoring, yeah, she was kind of harsh, but then in Hurricane Fluttershy, Dash is absolutely nothing but supportive of Fluttershy. I really liked that characterization of Dash.

I asked my 7 year old daughter why she enjoys My Little Pony so much.

"Because it makes me smile" she answered.

All your arguments are invalid.

There is a certain wisdom that only children posess; it is fortunate for us that they choose to share it from time to time.

[Uxion]

That reminds me of those questions that only a child can answer correctly.

[Damon Howe]

250 pages of ponies...not good enough, me thinks...

...though too tired to enter pony discussions or post ponies...oh well. Carry on.

[Watchit]

Whoa! didn't even realise this was 250th page! Awesome

Hon. Mechwarriors;

In the course of searching for various MLP images, I foolishly turned to google images. I immeadiately began to have trouble with my computer. I picked up two really annoying trojans, one was the windows activation trojan, the other was registry scammer that hid files deleted the desktop, and made filled the screen with error popups. If you do decide to look for MLP pics, do your self a favor and go to one of the brony fandom sites or dedicated artist post sites, don't use google images.
