  1. I have a lot to say on the episode as a whole, but find myself in a position where I lack the time to have them all voiced fully. Maybe if I ever get around to that YouTube analysis series I shall, but ah well. In a nutshell I believe that this episode, like the episode before it, was good (this one more so than the last), however it's ultimate defect was that they did not have sufficient time to explore the conflicts that had been introduced. We could have seen a lot more in-depth with Scootaloo, just as we could have come to understand Daring Do a bit better in Daring Don't. However they had to cram everything into 22 minutes, and as such some things were lost "in translation," as it were. Thinking as a writer, and a screen writer no less, there are a lot of variables to consider when a story does not seem to be delivering in such a way that it, as it seems, should. However, in general I don't go into an episode of MLP bearing the burden of expectations, and as a result I am never truly disappointed, but instead left with a sense of minor disappointment by the lack of some things which I would have liked to see in the episode. Well that's my two bits at any rate.
  2. Oh, I want to enter this so badly, but I have so many other things on my plate right now
  3. And I have officially made my début as a fan-fiction author on FimFiction as of today! http://www.fimfiction.net/story/149680/a-series-of-right-rotten-events

  4. The first two chapters of my first ever MLP-themed fan fiction are finally finished! Over a month of writing, excessive proof-reading and revision, finally over! Here's to hoping that it pays off! Do give it a read and let me know how I did! http://www.fimfiction.net/story/149680/a-series-of-right-rotten-events A huge thank-you to Killsy, Mr. Critical, CrioArathemis, Tsuki Kanshisha, and the friends and family that proof-read and provided their feedback for this story! I sincerely hope that you all have as much fun reading it as I did writing it! DISCLAIMER: As my first fan fiction publicly released, I am sure that it is far from being my best work, however I did put some genuine effort into this one. However, the prospect of me continuing it from here relies entirely on the feedback I receive, since I have many other ideas that I would like to explore in fan fiction, and what fun is there in writing with the lack of an audience?
  5. My do I have some big plans for Thanksgiving break! Including but not limited to: finally getting a true start on the Seal of Tartarus script, finishing a few chapters of a fimfic, starting a new fimfic, playing videogames until my eyes fall out, and of course arguing with rascal61! Yay fun fun!

    1. Mr. Critical

      Mr. Critical

      Yes... I guess, what?

      I guess Doctor Who 50th doesn't really count as a premiere per se, however, it was amazing all the same :3

    3. Mr. Critical

      Mr. Critical

      Granted, that was pretty wicked awesome. Wow, I'm extra white today.

  7. We might take you up on that! And we will be releasing videos on YouTube as well as embedding them on our website.
  8. For this project that we are working on right now, we shall be releasing it in the form of fully-animated episodes! In the future we may do audiocasts and, being a fan-fiction author, you can probably expect the odd spin-off fiction for material that would not work in animation or audio-play format. I hope that has sufficiently answered your questions, and feel free to ask about anything else!
  9. All these responses with OCs make me happy Keep them coming, guys!!! We are getting closer and closer to our goal! Not too many more now!
  10. Nearly done with my most recent fanfiction; just needs a little bit more touching up here and there! In the meantime, a teaser:

  11. To my dearest Reader, I regret to inform you that the work of fan fiction which you are about to be told about is exceedingly troublesome, for it recounts the unfortunate lives of the three Apple youngsters. Though they are charming and faithful, these poor ponies’ lives are filled with misery and misfortune. From the very first paragraph of this upsetting account of events the cruelty of their lives is realised, and my horn falters even now as I record them. In this woeful series the three Apple siblings will encounter an egotistical and prejudiced scoundrel, uncomfortable bedding, an abused unicorn, a terrible plot, and horrible news that will change their lives forever. I have taken it upon myself to document these miserable happenings, but you have the freedom to keep on scrolling and pass this piece of fan fiction by. I am sure that not far from this location on the webpage is some happy story about a playful and colourful pony frolicking under a rainbow, enjoying the happiness of a life without sorrow. However, if the sad lives of these three ponies has grabbed your attention, then read on; but don’t say that I did not warn you. With appropriate resolve, Silver Quill (This is a preview to my upcoming cross-over fan fiction which will be posted on FimFiction.net by the end of the week. Stay tuned!)
  12. Spent two hours talking about character psychology, depth, and the structure of the universe. It has been a good evening.

  13. And another order from WeLoveFine! Now all teh pictures!!!! The T-shirt: The hoodie: The book bag: The ridiculously large con bag! The extra bits of cosplay material Lanyard :3 And a button!
  14. There is that familiar feeling, a feeling of worry, dread, and depression, hovering on the edge of my subconscious, threatening to overflow into the active portions of my consciousness. But I will fight. What reason have I to be sad or worried? Stressful thoughts hover before my tired eyes but I blink them away. I have no reasons to be feeling this way, after all, I am happy and content, with loving family and great friends. So what could it be? Is it the taxation of the world finally taking affect; the wandering eyes and the loose lips that follow me and murmur as I pass them by, finally worming their way into my brain, telling me to want more? To desire to be something else, other than myself? That it is all meaningless? That I should give up? I have been struggling, it is true. Though I maintain a placid demeanour, the thoughts that parade through my mind leave me with a sinking feeling in my heart, a feeling of lacking, of loss, a fear of everything collapsing around me. "It would be easier to just give it up. Take the easy road; kick back and dispel all of these silly little pursuits, they won't help you find purpose. You have no promises of success, so why try?" whispers the throng around me, playing a funeral procession on my ear drums and heartstrings. But no, say I, for I have faith. Faith in my family to keep me straight, faith in my friends to keep me sane, and faith in myself, to continue being who I am. Faith is not just a matter of religious resolve, it is a matter of trusting assurance. I trust my family, trust my friends, trust myself. Never let me slip please, Lord, for I fear that I cannot survive the fall. So many of those surrounding me are giving up, succumbing to this life and it's empty promises of ease and leisure. Did I aim too high? Have I climbed this ladder of life too fast, just to lose my grip on the highest rung? It is THESE thoughts that I must dispel from myself, keep calm, and carry on. This post may not have much true meaning or insight, but you would not believe how good it felt to type it out.
  15. Digitally editing your book/short story is always fun, because you get to turn your screen into a colourful collage of highlights, red text, and multicoloured notes in the margins. If it doesn't make it to Equestria Daily, I may submit it as an art commission instead...

      Getting on has been a bit of a dream of mine...

  16. "With patience comes understanding, with understanding comes peace."

  17. You will never see the world through my eyes. Or I through yours. What right is there to call anyone strange, stupid, or misguided? Every action and decision is individually justified, but you would never know that by looking at everyone as though looking at a mirror. I have somewhat of a motto, which I have posted and shared around frequently; some of you may have seen it before: “With patience comes understanding, with understanding comes peace.” I would now like to alter and add to it to be a bit more specific “With comprehensive patience in observation and learning comes comprehensive understanding, and with understanding comes peaceful relations.” Sometimes it takes more than the submissive “Let’s agree to disagree” approach to be truly at peace with the world. Why not agree to seek understanding, and agree not only to be of a differing opinion but to take the opposing completely into account, allowing it to influence and move your own approach, therefore settling upon a harmonious medium with our fellow people? “With understanding comes peace,” I have found this to be true time and time again. If peace can ever truly be realised, it cannot be through closing doors.
  18. I meant like an exhibit hall booth, but a panel would be beneficial as well, I imagine! However only three members of the team, that I know of, are even going to make it so I guess we'll see
  19. If I can hitch a ride and get help paying for the hotel room then yes, I am totally going to be there, and I cannot wait!!! I may even try to get a booth for Tartarus Productions...
  20. Box/10 That looks a lot like Half-Life, although I know it has to be Metal Gear something-or-other....
