And so it begins...

This is an older fic that some longer users who were here in 2014 may remember, but I just wanted to recommend it to anyone interested in AUs and NextGen type stuff since this definatley counts as that. I personally love this story and the universe it takes place in. The Description reads "Fuzzy, blurry patches of color. That's all I can see. I wouldn't even call it "seeing". It's quite sad to be honest. Being pretty much blind makes me feel so helpless sometimes. My parents must've thought I was pretty helpless too for them to leave me. I think everyone thinks I'm helpless to some extent. I was so sheltered during my life at the orphanage. I admit, it was nice being taken care of and knowing that I was safe. But I wanted to be more than that filly who would just stay in her room all day, waiting for something interesting to happen in her life. I wanted to take action and prove I was anything but helpless. That lead me to do something no one saw coming..." Kind of long, but I suppose that's exactly what it's about. Helpless -By Kilala

Welcome to the community! We'r glad to have you here!As for being behind on the series: All of seasons 8 and 9 are on Dailymotion (Just look it up) And new episodes are announced and linked on Equestria Daily whenever they come out. I hope that helps! And as for other ways to interact with the community:There's places on the forum here like Octavia's Hall Poniverse Roleplay World and the base My Little Pony Discussion areas. I suggest just exploring the forum and finding many places to interact with everypony! There's also Derpibooru the community image board and FiMFiction for Fanfiction. There was another post about games so I'll let them take care of that. But I hope this helped and that you have a wonderful time here!

I suppose this is where I introduce myself. My name is SOlinS, 15, M. The reason I only now join the forums is because, despite watching the show for a long amount of time, I never seemed interested in actually joining the forums or really being part of the community. Probably due to me being under 10 when I first discovered the show. And while I do wish that I had gotten more involved earlier, like in 2013-15 when the show's end wasn't in sight, I do hope that Generation 5 will bring new life and longevity to the community.
