Interview with ~Chaotic Discord~

Today I have for you one of our more popular members, Chaotic Discord!

Welcome our friend, and read our interview :D

 

Question 1: How exactly did you find yourself in our fandom?

I was a Sonic nerd on three or so forums before this forum and so with it, this fandom. I was exposed to ponies every day on two of those forums, because numerous members were not only bronies, but the part of the fanbase that go around and flaunt the ponies and their memes like it's going out of style. This turned me off to the show's fanbase at first, but when I one day begin watching episodes out of boredom, I came to like it. I then found this place, and I now know that the idiots who flaunt and shove ponies onto others are a minority in the fanbase.

 

Question 2: Would you say our fandom is unique?

Very. Few if any other fandoms are this talented in so many media channels, this friendly, and this active. EQD flooding with new content every day is enough a sentiment to that.

 

Question 3: What is your opinion on the dubbed name "Cloppers"?

Truth be told I have my fair share of that content now and again, and in my opinion, I don't even get why there needs to be attention given to the people who are interested in those sort of things, let alone giving them a unique name. Rule 34, and people who are into those sorts of things are in every fandom, so why do people care so much? They shouldn't. It has nothing to do with you and doesn't effect you, so leave it alone, is my motto.

 

Question 4: What do you think of the popular website "Equestria Daily"?

I think it's a nice window into what pony things are being created daily around the internet, and it's thanks to Mailmare's posting from the site that I've seen a lot of flash, comics and music I may have otherwise not stumbled upon. I do believe their fanfiction standards are a bit on the grammar nazi side though, but that's just my opinion from what I experienced personally.

 

Question 5: How does it feel to have been featured on "fimfiction"?

Both my stories about Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo got featured there, which made me pretty happy. It's really nice to get feedback from the entire site's daily visitors as a whole, and not have to wait forever for individual people to stumble upon your story through searching, or through finding it in groups. I like the site overall and it's definitely a swell place for getting fanfiction feedback.

 

Question 6: Do you have any tips for our beginning authors out there?

Don't try and force your writing, it won't work, and if it does, it will not be nearly as good as opposed to if you were to have written it out because you had wanted to. Writer's block is a bitch, and I have it most of the time, but it pays off for when I get the inspiration and motivation to finally write my ideas down. Also, make sure you balance Showing VS Telling. Google the term and you can find any number of sites talking about the subject.

 

Question 7: Any new fanfictions in the works?

Recently I finished 'Tumultuous Disharmony', which can be found linked in my profile along with my other two aforementioned Scootalove stories. This is a very short story, and it's actually a flushed out version of my 500 word entry to the fanfic contest held by AshBad not long ago. Other than that, I'm -sort of- working on a sequel to 'My Sister, Loyalty' but it's very slow in progress, and I'm having a hard time figuring out where I want to go with it, or finding motivation, so I have no idea when that'll be out. But till then, I have three works done for anyone who hasn't read them yet.

 

Question 8: What do you think of MlpForums?

It's great. This is the most active, most friendly forum I have been on yet. It has the greatest team of staff, it has little drama *from what I've had to see or interact with, anyway*, it has a vast wealth of both topics and features to post and mess around with, and all around it's a great place to spend all my free time on xD

 

Question 9: What do you think of Feld0?

Horrible, worst admin in the history of forever. I've been on five different forums total now, and of all those owners, each one had a massive flaw to them. One was lazy and never came online, one was the equivalent to a one-man SWAT team who came on and did drastic things whenever he thought them necessary, another was aloof and flaky, the list goes on. But Feld0 is without a doubt the most mature, professional and stable site owner, and general staff I've ever seen, and he's two years younger than me X.x; He's put together a great staff of which follows his examples pretty damn well, especially the other admins, and global moderators to a major extent.

 

Question 10: Who is best pony?

Dashie is best pony. She has a cool and sleek design, her voice and the cracks it has are adorable, her personality is one of which that results in her trying to act brave and tough, and not cute, which to me just makes her even more cute. She's also funny and amusing to watch, but is able to kick major ass when she needs to. All around she's a really awesome character. I know some people view as her a rude bully or this that or the other thing, and they're all entitled to their opinions, but in the end, Dash may be brash, but she isn't out to hurt anypony's feelings :3

 

Thanks for reading you guys :D

I hope you enjoyed reading this.
