  1. I have had two I believe. The first dream was a week after a friend tried and failed in getting me to watch the show. Not sure what it was about but I distinctly remember there being colorful ponies. That got the show stuck in my head and eventually led to me watching and becoming a fan of the show. My second dream was more of a pony cameo. Long story short I was in a rts inspired dream and for some reason amidst a few hundred tanks Twilight Sparkle was the commander. Not sure what was going on there. Perhaps it was the New Lunar Republic fighting for a better tomorrow.
  2. Based solely on personalities I would want to choose Twilight but would probably end up with Fluttershy considering my record in real life.
  3. Dang. Didn't expect there to be a sudden hike in responses to this post while I was gone for the past few days. Once school lets out I plan on checking out these fanfics mentioned here and eventually writing my own. You pretty much just summed up my stance on fanfics involving the main characters of any series. Also, as for the human comment, that is what I pretty much have in mind for my story. Haha. Maybe there isn't really any sense to it but like I said I'm just curious. I'm the stubborn sort that would write what I have in mind even if I got an overwhelmingly negative response to what I plan on doing. I mainly want to do this fanfic for me, to see if all this day dreaming I am doing at the end of my school year can translate over to writing. Hopefully it will end up as something worth reading.
  4. I'm curious. Can you give me an example of a human mixing working well in an mlp fanfic?
  5. Well school is coming to a close and I have had a fanfic idea in my head for sometime now. Before I write it I have a question or two regarding people's views on fanfics. This is mainly just out of curiosity on my behalf. I am attaching a poll but I would prefer comments in response if you would. Question 1: When it comes to fanfictions do you prefer that they stick to focusing on the main cast? This is a personal issue I have with most fanfics as my mental concept of the main cast in any fanfiction seems to always conflict with the fanfic's version of them and that usually loses me very quickly. I have found exceptions though. I think I am on the minority side here but I still want to find out what others think.Question 2: What are your thoughts of humans crossing over into the MLP:FiM universe in anyway? I think it could work if done correctly but the concept reminds me too much of a few shows from the 80's and 90's where kids get sucked into a video game. The issue there is said human characters always seem to become the center of attention amongst the original cast in those shows. Then, to me it seems just like a story of a kid at Disney Land.
  6. I'll just say I am attracted to some of their personalities and not so much their aesthetics. Some of their manes though would be rather attractive if transferred to human hair though.
  7. Wore my shirt to school once. The worst reaction I got was from my friend who ironically introduced me to the show. He kind of just glared at me the entire day. Everyone else didn't really noticed. My other group of friends though, being normal guys giving me a hard time as a friend, tried messing with me about it. To further the irony a few weeks later a few of them joined the herd. That said this post made me realize I need more pony shirts.
  8. Twilight or Pinkie Pie. Twilight would just be easy to talk to about her studies. I actually have a high tolerance for sitting and listening to history and theories since I do the same with my own scientific interests and have friends that do the same. I actually kinda like learning so bookworms unite. (Well I don't use books most of the time but oh well.) Pinkie Pie, purely for the lolz.
  9. So I can't think of a single witty thing to say here. Instead I will just leave this with your list of grievances.
  10. On the internet I deal with haters by means of counter-trolling. They hate seeing show stuff and its members on the internet I just increase their suffering with an influx of more. Ticks them off like crazy but as I don't care about their insults, I find it funny. Let's just clear up that I only flood haters with it after they try messing with me for no real reason.
  11. My indoctrination entrance into bronyhood began with a random dream about ponies a week after a friend last mentioned it in lunch at school. In less than a week I fell from being a person that bugged my friend about liking the show as a running joke to being more obsessive about it then he himself. Funny how that works.
  12. I never really hid it but I never really went out of my way to tell people. I don't really care what others think. If I find people who are cool with it or are fans themselves then awesome. If I find haters of the show or fan-base then I count it as a win also. I find it really easy to troll those people if they are vocal about their disprovable of me being a brony.
  13. Hello to both of you. And Chigens... You sir are full of win just for that video welcoming.
  14. Well not my first post per say but close enough for introductions. Well I usually hate intros but what the hey. I started off not quite as a hater but more of a jester who poked fun at my friend for watching the show. He tried showing me the show at school once to which I promptly told him to stuff it. Two days later without any further references to the show I had ponies in my dreams. Let's just say after that it didn't take long to check out the show and become more obsessed with the series than my friend is. Kinda sad how quickly that happened but I don't regret it one bit. With that said hello everypony.
  15. Really I was rather disappointed by this finale. For most of this season I loved the direction it took but this finale just didn’t do it for me. It seems to me that this finale has something of an identity crisis. It tries to build into an epic confrontation which it seemingly succeeds with up until the actual confrontation itself. The whole wedding crashing was a nice set piece but everything seemed to start falling apart for me the moment the Changeling Queen started telling her plan to everyone in the room. This little cliché I have seen time after time again in kid shows and I used to love them. With the direction this episode was heading however it seemed to just be a slap in the face that this is still supposed to be for kids which really offset the atmosphere. The part with Celestia being defeated seemed weak to me. For someone who has the power to send a mare to the freaking moon, change night into day, and seems to have lived for around a millennium to be so easily defeated screams either a cop out or “We are f***ed!” Unfortunately it comes off as the former by the conclusion. The sight of Canterlot in ruins bounced the show back to this “epic” conclusion. I have no complaints with the ensuing dash for the elements of harmony. I have no issues with the capture at the end. I do have issues with the fact everyone seemed to give after that up until the love of two people spontaneously saves the day (as expected for the kiddies). That just didn’t fit with the desperation of the situation. To say the conclusion was rather rushed is an understatement. The conclusion was just another miracle solution that saved the day. For most of the series I would find that to be acceptable but with the struggle going on in the end, the solution seemed cheap as hell. The episode seemed torn between sticking to the younger audience while trying to appeal a lot to bronies. Usually this can be done successfully in other episodes yet it just seems to just fail for me during this episode sadly. There seemed to be too much appeal to the tastes of an older audience mixed in with the clichés and basis of a kids show (or perhaps vice versa). I personally think that the brony influence should only go as far as to effect small portions of the show such as small jokes, cameos, or maybe a plot change in line with the show’s established atmosphere. This darker tone shows promise as a standalone but in the end it didn’t mix well with what MLP is already. Well those are my complaints in a rather messy nutshell. I did enjoy the episode however. I just felt it could have been better realized.
