But regardless of how lame first impressions are, it's always good to meet new people. Here's my backstory. I've been a brony since May 2012, before then I actually used to be an anti-brony under some misconceptions of the fandom. I've learned a lot since then and made some friends over at another forum. I'm still active there and I'm not sure if I'll be active here, but several of said friends are also over here, so I'd figure I'd stop by.
So yeah, feel free to inquire or answer. I'm completely new to the forum and I don't know where most members reside. Could you do me a favor and perhaps recommend your favorite area(s) of the forum to me? It'd make it easier on me and perhaps I might stick around.
I (sort-of) write fanfics, make lots of videos on a pony-specific youtube channel, and love supporting others' fanworks as well. I'm also on skype daily so perhaps I'll add mine if I tend to be more active around here. Mostly though on forums I enjoy making friends and chatting with them. That's my central purpose of being on a forum, discussing the show itself alone probably won't keep me enough interest.
And yes, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll try and answer them all.
No, I do not dislike Pinkie Pie. That's one out of the way for ya.
