Well, hi everypony!

[Anon3mous1 2]

Okay, so my name is Anon3mous1... not exactly the friendliest of usernames, but it actually started out as a play on DJ PON3 when I made my first non-anonymous (lol) brony post, during a discussion about a Fallout:Equestria Chapter. There were other anon's posting so I changed my name by one letter to make my posts distinguishable. After that I just kept the name, because it was starting to have some notoriety attached to it.

 

My claim to fame in the brony community would have to be this 50,000 view PMV I made with John Joseco's art (asked and credited of course) Last Friday Night - Katy Perry:

Since then I've made another 17 relitively well recieved PMV's, but none come even close to approaching that view count.

 

I've been meaning to write some fanfiction for a while now - as I have done with other fandoms I have been into, but I just haven't had the time.

 

As a profession, I am a full time robotics engineering student.

 

Unlike most people, I wasn't supprised when I liked MLP and I did't know about the Brony movement when I first watched it. You see, I saw this image:

 

posted randomly on a site, and I of course assumed that the show it was from must be a cartoon for adults like Family Guy or South Park. (afterall, there's no alcohol in children's cartoons). Basically I was expecting a network syndicated version of 'Charlie the Unicorn'. Man was I ever wrong.

 

I wasn't supprised that I liked it because never really grew out of children's cartoons; 'Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy' and 'Ruby Gloom' just to name a couple. Before MLP I was a massive Simpson's fan and created dozens of fanworks (fanfics, art, music) under the tag - UndeadSamurai01, so I wasn't particularly suprised when I started enjoying the fanworks for MLP.

 

What did supprise me is how big this community is! Initially I thought I was going to have to hide my fandom from everyone. I have a tendency to randomly quotedrop from things I've seen - subtly. Just so I can laugh to myself at the extra context - well one day I droped a couple MLP quotes... and discovered that almost 20% of my existing friends were Bronies. The only female Brony (I refuse to say Pegasister, Brony is gender neutral) I know likes Transformers Prime more than MLP, so I guess gender rules can just fly right out the window!

 

I know this is TL:DR for most people, but whatever, I said what I had to say.

Welcome to the forum fellow brony

And it was not TL:DR for me C:

Hi, and welcome!

 

Wow, awesome video! Congratulations on the high hit count!

 

Whoa, an engineering student! That's impressive!

 

I'm with you, you're never too old for cartoons!

Nice video you've got up there.

 

I know this is TL:DR for most people, but whatever, I said what I had to say.

As a fellow long winded bloke, I'm happy to say that most people are able to read, and don't immediately ignore posts that are longer than a paragraph or two in length.

I think you'll like it here.

If what you say is true... wow. - I mean I know people who think rage comics are TL;DR! I can see myself getting well into this community... once exams are over -> another six weeks or so until I can really work on some fanworks !

Welcome to the forums! Can't wait to see those fanworks
