I am a somewhat late arrival to the fandom, and as it stands, I've only finished with season three. I apologize in advance for my ignorance and beg your indulgence if, for a little while, I am somewhat incapable of understanding some of the references on this forum.
For about two years, I've felt a little too shy to "join the herd," as it were, but I feel like I'm fairly ready to enjoy the online company of other bronies now. It can be hard when you love MLP a lot but have no brony friends to share it with...
I am a fanfiction author, though my major work, Dynasty Ponies (a crossover between MLP and Koei's Dynasty Warriors) is on hiatus as I have been unable to write a new chapter that meets even my lowest standards.
I also create pony music as Eddie Canter & His Applebuckers, a jug band configuration with banjo, washboard, and kazoo/funnel trumpet that reflects my love of both MLP and the ragtime, jazz, and Tin Pan Alley tunes of the 1900s to about the 1930s. Eddie Canter & His Applebuckers play ponified versions of songs from that time period as well as originals in that style. I must admit, though, like my namesake entertainer, I have a very bawdy sense of humor that comes through in a lot of the numbers we do...
I don't tend to be a very active poster, but you may rest assured that I will continue to keep abreast of what is going on in these forums.
Oh yeah, and overall best pony is Fancy Pants, hooves down.
