One thing I remember from G1 are the villain than the pony themselves.
They seem so generic and lack of personality, outside of the pilot episode, compare to the much colourful villains.
I really like Sting and Katrina.

Each character generally have 1 gimmick and that's it.
Like Surprise's gimmick is to jump out and shout "surprise!" or something of equivalent, once that card is played she acts like any other pony in that episode.


Thanks for the insight, xengsk.

Kind of ironic to have good villains and not-so good cast, when writing a good villain is much harder than writing a good main character... at least in my opinion, that is.

Do you mean like an editor, Samaritan? I think there's a couple groups on fimfiction.net that offer proof reading and stuff.

Many, actually on FimFiction. Best way to do it- find stories you like, find groups they're in, check for editing help therein.

I sort of loved it when The Anime news network runs a story on the Japanese version of the show. Its sort of fun watching the weeaboo level fans rage in the forums

Thanks guys I will check it out.

preparing to write seems to be ten times more work than writing. Then there's the proof reading, plot checking, charachter veting, word count, editing...

I almost feel like telling my friends, "You can have my story when you pry it from my cold, dead, hands." :)

The first step is always the hardest step, no matter what you're doing.
Since you've already crossed it, good luck getting your fic finished! :)

I think the problem was they have too many pony character, they feature a new set of pony or introduce new pony with each new plotline, unlike how they did with the Mane6 in G4 and Mane7 in G3.
So the characters overlaps.

Villain on the other hand are one shot and then to standout, some are well done like Sting while other are forgettable like that giant octopus and his lobster henchman.
The good villain are the one that the viewer can related to.

In Sting's case, he is introduce as a bully and enforcer of the bee colony. After capturing a pony and listening to their plight about how the bee colony is destroying their home.
He turns around and try to work out a solution for both community, all the while without betraying his duty. (he didn't let the capture pony go even after hearing them out, because that is his duty as prison guard) He even find the courage to stand up to HIS bully, he is a good guy caught with a bad crowd and situation.
Kinda like the Bab Seed episode.

Well, that seems like a rather reasonable explanation, thanks.

I should really grab at least a few episodes off of Yayponies someday.

Hon. Mechwarriors;

MWO is great for edits. Here's a little something I whiped up for a Striker TRO entry at Solaris 7.

Please enjoy :(

Pictures and animation make for nice embelishments for FIMFICs, here's one example.

You can run, but you can not hide!

And we have Timber Wolves too in the Show.

Did someone mention Timberwolves were a part of the clan invasion?

You know... there was a time when I thought that the CMC episodes were somewhat mediocre...

I can't even remember why I thought that way, back in the days. :)
