This. Is. Epic.

[Scootalove 10,689]

Pretty epic indeed.

I wish I had some friends at my school that were bronies.

But, since I'm the only brony at my school.

I'll be fine

Put up my response a few hours ago. I went ahead and did what Puddlejumper suggested and made a picture of Vinyl awaiting a brohoof. Now we wait...

 

 

Here's our whole "conversation" so far...

Can't wait to see where this goes. I just recently found out there's a fellow brony in my High School, I left a sketch in one of my classes that said "Rainbow Dash is best pony" and it was there the next day with a response on it that said, "Totally agree'd and he drew the brohoof /) symbol after that. Now I just need to find a tactic to figure out who it is.

Man, I love where this is going! Exciting stuff

 

I've met one brony on my campus, and another who I had met before at a meet-up. Both were wearing pony swag and were easy to spot. So if you're trying to attract fellow bronies in a somewhat subtle fashion, wearing or sporting pony merch definitely works best. I like what you've accomplished here with your own little accidental method, however :3

[hawkflame 3,310]

I'm going to try something like this on campus tomorrow. Maybe not a drawing of my own (not much of an artist) but something to stamp my presence as a Brony.

 

Hey, maybe Ican put up a request for a meetup on those ubiquitous campus bulletin boards...

[Harlequin 17]

...Yep, you've officially won at life.  Everything past this is just icing on the cake .

 

Most "interesting" way of meeting another fan on my part would probably be--

Absentmindedly humming "Winter Wrap Up" (too dang catchy)

 

Classmate begins whistling along.

 

That said, I am now very tempted to see if pony drawings might lure others out of the woodworks - as it stands, there's almost enough of us at my school to justify a club (or at least something along those lines)!

[The Mane-iac 1,648]

That is awesome. I love how all the pics are still there even though they have substantially grown over the past few days. Must be a fairly lax teach, but I think that is a requirement to become an art teacher. Gotta be cool and lax. Both of the ones I can remember from my school days totally were, the one was most definitely best teacher ever.

 

Can't wait to see the follow-up.

[Fluttershy_babe 53]

aha, thats so cute.

I really think those pics just got...

 

%20 COOLER

 

yeah, I said it. xD

Too bad you don't know who did it. It would be such a miracle if it turns out they are on the forums xD

[Heart's Desire 181]

YaY! This is so cool. Keeping fingers crossed and waiting with baited breath for the response. Kinda makes me want to go to college and take an art class, haha.

[Fhaolan 4,484]

Okay, this is hilarious.

 

But to me, the best thing is that everyone else is *leaving it alone*.

 

Good luck! I'm rooting for you to find a new friend!

 

Edit - Just zoomed her reply to be able to read the text written below. That's cute that she's actually signing it as 'Anonymous Pegasister'

The funny thing is I am not even in any art classes. This all started when I decided to draw that first Vinyl portrait when I was accompanying a friend who is in the class one night.

Yeah, it's a very laid-back setting. As you can see by the pictures people have no problems with doing stuff like painting on the walls. If that's the case, I'm sure they'd have no problem with art on the walls. In fact, there's two other rooms connected to this one where most of the painting goes down, and those walls are completely covered with test-markings or people who just blatantly color on the walls.

 

Plus I'm sure the professor is probably just as curious about what the heck's going on as we are.

 

Yeah yeah yeah! Got a new response today, and I got more than a brohoof, I got a hug!

 

 

So what do you guys think I should put up next? Something asking her if she wants to hangout? A contact (is there any way to do that subtle enough to not attract haters?)?

Maybe draw Pinkie in front of Sugercube Corner and write the name of a cafe and make it stand out. or something nearby to indicate you want to meet up there. I'm not great with these lol.

That's what I was thinking. We have a hangout on campus that's a bit like a sports bar (in fact it used to serve alcohol). I'm just worried about setting a date and time in case she misses it. That's why I'd like to leave my number or something, but then again...haters.

Hmm... Maybe give several times. Like hours within a week where you can go there. Odds are she'll be able to make at least on of them right?

[Fhaolan 4,484]

Hrm... That's a tricky one. You don't want to be too pushy, and you also don't want it to be too isolated as that would give bad signals.

 

What you need is a reasonably public place, using a time slot that any MLP fan would know, and to make it open so any *other* Bronies/Pegasisters who are curiously watching this but haven't joined in can show up as well.

 

*facehoof* I'm an idiot. Invite her (and be inclusive with the invite so any others watching can show up, and she knows you're not being creepy) to watch the next episode with you at the hangout! Only Bronies/Pegasisters will know when to show up, or people sufficiently motivated to find out themselves. Of course that depends on you being able to get the Hub or one of the LiveStreams on a laptop or something similar.

 

Make sure you've got a Vinyl Scratch picture hanging from the laptop while you're at the hangout, and you're all set.

[Concord 1,982]

Hello!

 

He he, looks like you've got quite an advneture .

 

This looks like so much fun, but at the same time, the curiousity must be killing you . I have some sort of feeling, that the person that put up these, does infact go on MLP forums. Why not just ask that?

[~Princess Luna~ 31]

I am currently trying to figure out how to draw a pony that looks like it is from My little Pony FiM have any ideas on how to do it.

[Heart's Desire 181]

That's a good point. You could sign the next one with your forum name and on another part put "MLP forums?" Or draw a pony at the computer and put MLP forums on the computer. 

 

Or you could just put the time you are usually able to get to the art classroom and see if she can meet you there.

 

If you go for the idea of watching the next episode together you could just ask if anypony wants to join.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

Put up my next response. Nothing extravagant or specific asking to meet. I wanted to keep it as general and open-ended as possible.

 

 

I had to walk across campus in the blowing snow to put it up. But so worth it.

 

Everything so far. It got a bit rearranged over the weekend.

 

[Arcus (Silver Lining) Wind 983]

Oh I'm so excited I could burst! Really rooting for you to find out who it is. I wish there were other bronies where I am. Can't wait to see what their response is.

[Fhaolan 4,484]

This is exciting!

 

It's so rare to be able to see the 'Magic of Friendship' in action, even if it's vicariously (for me).

 

No matter what happens in the end, you've done good.

[Heart's Desire 181]

That's perfect! Anxiously awaiting the response!

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, this is all so cool! Vicarious magical friendship!!!

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Wow! It's growing thanks to you! This is to show that you never know who's around, and that they might have the same interests as you!

[hawkflame 3,310]

Good luck to you AtomicBassCannon! I love how this story is unfolding.

 

Anyway I'm not an artist but did something similar today- walked into random classroom and wrote Rarity is Best Pony in the blackboard. Will let ppl know if anything happens...

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

Party Cannon!

 

 

I've decided to take a risk. I'm going to give her my real name on the back, and I'm going to ask her to add me on Facebook. However, I'm not going to be stupid and just leave my name as is.

 

You see, PM'd me with a fantastic idea to use a coded message to her to relay a meeting time and place. Along those lines, I'm going to use a coded system to give her my name. Probably with a picture of Zecora rhyming something clever. Then I'm going to sign it with "Not-so-anonymous brony" with an arrow pointing to the back. What will the front drawing be? Probably something random...it's not the point of the picture.

 

Again, am I taking a risk? Yes, but it's worth it.

Good luck to you AtomicBassCannon! I love how this story is unfolding.

That sounds pretty epic, too. Definitely keep us informed on your attempt to find bronies on campus. You could have a situation like mine, soon.
