Here we go! Awkward introduction time!

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Twilight Sparkle

How did you find MLP Forums?: Google. I know, booring, right? I went searching. And then I found it.


How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I'm a general geek. I like Star Trek, Babylon 5, Dr. Who... the list goes on and on. Anyway, so I go into this store and I see this pony version of The Doctor. And I says to myself, I says, "Aidan, I don't believe you've ever seen a pony Timelord before. Why don't you check out this My Little Pony thing." The rest was a downward spiral into obsessive oblivion.

My day job is not interesting to read about.

 

As a hobby, I write Sci-fi. I've written a few short stories, some poetry, some good, some terrible. To be truthful I'm no good at evaluating the state of my work. I'm currently working on my first novel. I'm in the process of world-building, which is long, involved, and requires me to know all the things. So I'm in a research black hole and I don't know if I'll ever see light again.

 

I also have a podcast. I'm the co-host for the Brony Quest podcast, which goes through every episode of MLP:FiM and examines them for the deep philosophical meaning behind rainbows and cupcakes.

 

Also I like tea. Tea is delicious.

 

I hope to find some friends to talk to about MLP around here. So please say hello and be my friend...

Thanks to the lot of ya!

 

MLG, we'll talk. Send me a PM... or whatever passes for one over here. :)

 

Stardust Balance, are you a parasprite who travels through time and space? We certainly will have much to discuss. I take it you've heard the Dr. Whooves radio plays?

 

Pink Mist, such a flattering and warm welcome! Wow. I'd really only barely call myself a proper writer. But I have fun with words. Stressful fun. It allows me a chance to see exactly how far I am from inner peace. As for the podcast, that's just a thrill to do.

You could say that. And you refer to the many audio adventures on Youtube? Indeed, though I am more fond of the ones with Twilight as the companion than Derpy.

Couldn't agree with you more, Stardust. Twilight makes a brilliant companion. She's smart, she's caring and you end up really caring about her. Ditzy is cool, too. But I gotta hand it to the writing chops for team Twilight. Perhaps its because Twilight is already a strong enough character to hold her own. She is the star of her own show, after all.

Thanks, chaps! I plan on it. Is there anyplace that would be appropriate to talk about my writing/podcasting or discuss the craft of said topics without "advertising"? It's takes up a good 70% of my thoughts. (MLP theory is involved in both)

I forgot about our conversation here, my apologies. XD

 

And indeed, in addition to her knowing of history, dedication to knowledge and fascination with the stars, if I was the Doctor I would think of no finer companion to choose. In fact I think it was these audio adventures that made Twilight my most favourite character in all of MLP.

For me it was her dedication to learning. She's coming to Ponyville on a mission from her teacher. That was one of the first hooks that drew me into the show itself and not just coming to it trying to find the geek references. Then a geek references would happen and also the show took itself just seriously enough. There were no obvious lapses. The other characters were strong. And they were brave enough to confront those character's really cringe-worthy obstacles. And then I bought a plush Twilight Sparkle, who my wife immediately claimed.


Oh yeah, Thanks Dingo Dash and Random Guy!

An amazing selection of teas you  have here. I think I'll go for this Taiwanese Gui Fei Oolong. It's been a little while since I've had it. Last one had some natural pineapple notes in it!

The honey-honeydew cupcake will pair nicely with it. Thanks for the treats!
