Welcome! Everybody is nice here and there's lots to do like discussing the show and making friends! My favorite thing to do here is reading stories. You're going to have a wonderful time!

Yep, i'm pretty new myself. Everyone here is very nice from what I've seen. I'd like to see some stories that you've written.

Because Pinkie is the best pony and A Clockwork Orange is my favorite movie/book.

The way the "black" guy stares into the non-existent crowd at the beginning is amazing.

One of those little frog jumping things that you can get from an arcade for like 5 tickets.

(MAJOR SPOILERS FOR A GREAT MOVIE! BEWARE!) I don't have any footage of the scene itself, but I can show you the trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufsrgE0BYf0 I usually don't cry when watching movies, but, there was a scene in Gravity (2013) where Dr. Stone was trapped in a Russian cockpit with no fuel in it. There was a person that she could communicate with, but since the shuttle was Prussian, she could not understand what he was saying. For some odd reason, the person starts to sing a Russian lullaby to a baby. She decides to cut the oxygen in order to kill herself and end her misery. Because of the low amount of oxygen, she hallucinates that a person, manages to get into the cockpit and tells Stone that she can still propel herself using the fuel in the landing tank to propel herself to another space shuttle. After gaining this information, she turns the oxygen back on and propels herself to the Chinese shuttle.

I would if I had a gun pointed to my head

Here's my daily laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7-_2saQhBI My sense of humor is that of a 5 year old. (Oh and he actually did break the stuff, no FX added)

I could proof read this for you if you want. I haven't really proof read anybody's work before, but i'm good at revising my own works; I also tutor students in grammar. Edit: I've decided to just proof read this anyway so, here goes. Version with mistakes highlighted: Red = Needs to be removed/changed Green = Needs to be added Yellow = See notes below The darkness is swallowing you. It is cold, and You can't breath, and you think that no one will remember you... But suddenly, a* small light. It is a fire; it looks like it is coming from a lighter. It is not warming so much and it is not so bright**, but it is there, and you feel safe now. The fire is starting to grow and be come bigger, the heat and light is becoming more intensive, and soon is the fire same size as a camp fire***. You sit down next to it, and you can breath againg, and you are not freezing any more. You look into the fire and you start to see faces and names, first, you don't know who's faces and names it is, but soon, you realize that it is all your friends, faces and names. You are seeing**** and you understand that you friends are the light, the warmth and the happiness in your dark, cold, sad life. So you stand up and you go out in the big world and you start to make more friends to keep the fire alive and also to start some new fires. *I would recommend that you change it to "you see a" **You could shorten the sentence and make it sound more fluent by saying "It is not very warming or bright." ***Needs to be changed to "and it soon grows to the size of a campfire." ****You need to clarify what the reader is seeing after you say that; I would recommend removing this and changing "understand" to "realize" Version with all mistakes fixed: The darkness is swallowing you. It is cold, you can't breathe, and you think that no one will remember you. But suddenly, you see a small light. It is a fire; it looks like it is coming from a lighter. It is very warming or bright, but it is there, and you feel safe now. The fire is starting to grow and become bigger; the heat and light is becoming more intense, and it soon grows to the size of a campfire. You sit down next to it, you can breath again, and you are not freezing any more. You look into the fire and you start to see faces and names; first, you don't know who's faces and names they are, but soon, you realize that they are all your friend's faces and names. You realize that you friends are the light, the warmth and the happiness in your dark, cold, sad life, so you stand up, you go out in the big world, and you start to make more friends to keep the fire alive start some new fires. This was my first time proof reading anybody's work. Hopefully I didn't miss anything! Here's my short critique on your story: While the story does send a good message to the reader, it sounds a little bit too objective near the end. Stories like these are supposed to be uplifting and bring joy to the reader, but by calling the reader's life dark, cold, and sad, is a little insulting. I think the story would have worked best if you used a Third-person narrative with the main character's name not being revealed. Not only would this allow your story to be more flexible, but it would decrease, if not, remove the objective sound at the end. This would let you keep the part in which you negatively describe the main character's life, and keep the reader in a happy mood. Also, (if you are writing the Third-person narrative) the personality and name of the main character should not be revealed. This is so that the reader can relate to the character if the reader thinks that his life sucks. Fun Fact: Many pop artists, like Justin Beiber, use this technique when describing their dream girl in their songs. They will vaguely describe their dream girl so that fans will think that the song is describing them. The main reason celebrities do this is so that they can get more fans and money. Don't worry though, your only doing this to make your writing less objective. Bo Burnham made a song that makes fun of this: (Non kid friendly lyrics) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0YbfX5JtxE Anyway, I think you did a good job overall! Your skills should improve as you continue writing.

I didn't know that there was a place for sharing non-pony related stuff. That's awesome! I'm still probably going to wait though. Thank you!

Yeah, I agree with Zygen, while the proportions are a bit off, but the colors are spot on. Overall, good job!

So, I just finished watching all the episodes of mlp on Netflix and I thought I should try out the community. I don't really remember how I became a brony but I think I stumbled upon an episode of MLP while browsing YouTube and found out that mlp was an awesome show. I've been a brony for what I think is a year but i'm not sure. I love discussing things but I usually don't have many topics or people to discuss with, so that's one of the reasons I decided to join this forum. I often come up with ideas for videogames, movies, fanfics, but I probably won't be sharing them anytime soon as I am too shy to do so, and because of the fact that half of them aren't even pony related... Anyway, the main reason i'm here is to make some friends and discuss mlp. Oh and, Pinkie is best pony
