The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[Apok]

I also want to boot up GTA IV to see if that is actually named that in the game.

I checked on the map you get with the liberty city stories disc and it's true.
Which is awesome. I feel like blowing stuff up there and going on a rampage.

 

[Tornado]

Yeah, I actually pulled out the same map and checked.

That constellation is Canis Major, not Minor.
French haute couture, please.
Eeeh...
What if it rains? Galoshes!

- That brings up an interesting point...How does Fluttershy know what France is? To that extent, what is Equestrian France like?

More importantly, why did Fluttershy like the second dress more than the first based on such criteria when the first dress actually was haute couture (well, more or less) and the second one looked like it was assembled by wild animals using leaves and sticks.









Edit: You know, I'm starting to wonder where all of these self-righteous Anons have been coming from for the past few days.

 

[Gravekeeper]

Man, I've missed a TON of pages on this thread! That racing meetup looked like fun, too bad I don't have a PS3- also, seems there's a pony fiction page being launched; sounds intriguing for any anyone looking to binge on fics in an organized fashion!

Also, what is this I see?

Jetfire said...

Is he accepting submissions now?

Dangerous Business is done, and I could send it to him with a bit of cleanup.

Hmmmmmmmm.....

 

[Tornado]

Done done? Crap.



Edit: Yeah. Seth just posted the last update. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself after I'm done with it, though. I'd never assumed that it would actually end.



Edit 2: Two new chapter at once!? Its gonna take me like 3 hours to catch up.

 

[Minty]

I love this video.


Also, I'm not posting as much as usual because I'm over a friends house, just so you know.

It looks really clean and organized,however I wonder if the fanfics there get a pre-reading session before feature,I'm checking the fanfics there but I think that the pre-reading stage is critical to identify the good,well written,and interesting stories,maybe it will follow some ED recommendations,but overall(and if completed) it might become a prime-site for fanfics.

As I understand it, that isn't the point of it. It is supposed to act as a Pony-specific hub for all fanfics (bad ones included), as an alternative to Fanfiction.net and DeviantArt that better suits the needs of Pony fan fic writers.

Not as a tool to avoid Sturgeon's Law.

I see,so the conclusion could be summed up as: is it better than Google docs?(For Pony-fanfic-ralated-stuff obviously).

Time for some beta testing then.

(In the interest of time)

I really like the structure of it,its quite more intuitive that the story archive from ED,and better organized as well (there isn't too many fanfics,but is easier to navigate through the content),apart from that,obvious purpose its obvious,however it works a bit faster than Google docs.

Actually,Ending with "Dearest princess Celestia" letters isn't as overused as I thought.

And:

*****************************************************************************
♫....More balloons! Oh no, that's too many balloons. More candy! Oh, less candy. Oh wait, I know. Streamers!
....Streamers?
....Whose dress is this?
....Streamers it is.♫
*****************************************************************************
I wonder if that's actually is singing.

 

[Tornado]

You know, I had always thought by default that Dangerous Business took place after Best Night Ever. Unless I just misread what happened in Chapter 16.


And a note to myself: Never let myself get behind like that again.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

It's finished? Then maybe one day I will read it...

What's this new fanfic hoojit by the way? I fail to understand it's purpose.

/Edit/

Ugghh, because I used A7X titles for my fics, I have this guy treating my sequels like I'm taking requests at a gig.

 

[Jim Prower]

Well, I've been waiting for this section...

...What?
Aren't you going to tell me to change something too?
No, I just want my dress to be cool.
Do you not like the color?
The color's fine...just make it look cooler.
Do you not like the shape?
The shape's fine...just make the whole thing, you know, cooler.

...It needs to be about 20% cooler.

 

[Tornado]

Just finished Chapter 17. Rainbow Dash, what did you do?

What's this new fanfic hoojit by the way? I fail to understand it's purpose.

Its a repository of Pony fanfics, set up in a somewhat similar fashion to the way ED has them set up. It is meant to fit the needs of Pony fanfic writers better than using GoogleDocs, Deviant Art and Fanfiction.net do.

For example, it has categories that you can label stories with (mostly identical to those of ED); and it generally is supposed to act as a way to find Pony stories without having to go to a specific author's DA page or combing through Fanfiction.net to find it.











Edit: Oh my god. Chapter 18. Holy 🤬.

I just fist pumped SO HARD I think I hurt my hand. The same hand I stabbed myself in, too, so it actually kind of hurts to type this out; but damn was it worth it.

Does anypony have a good collection of themed FiM wallpapers? I found a few on Equestria Daily, but some of them don't include the entire main cast or, imo, are a bit dull... Here's what I've found:

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/lots-of-wallpapers.html
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/art-pony-wallpaper-compilation-3.html
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/wallpaper-compilation-7.html
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/megasweet-wallpaper-pack.html

What do you guys think of these? I might end up trying to make my own, which I literally have no idea how to do... yet.

 

[Tornado]

You mean like these? Though thanks for the link, because there are a few in the gallery that are also on ED but the versions in the gallery are lower quality.












So, yeah. Dangerous Business has just shot up from its 3rd place position into a strong 1st. And I even did that embarrassing "cry from happiness" crap that I did when I finished The Party Never Ended.

 

[Ondine]

Oh awesome! I swear I checked the gallery, must've missed em. Thanks!

I haven't seen those ones,thanks,I'm actually setting up the Rarity one,and the sweetiebelle just rocks.

 

[Minty]

I don't see most of those from the links in the gallery.



Not great, but it's alright. It stars Trixie, so that gives it extra points right off the bat.




So much win.

 

[Wiegert]

I'm actually setting up the Rarity one,and the sweetiebelle just rocks.

You know what? That Rarity wallpaper is the best looking of the lot in my opinion. I like the look of the Luna and Trixie wallpapers as well, so I might just use one of them as my new desktop background.


Also, I thought this was brilliant:

 

[Minty]

This is BLARGHGHGH-tastic.




This is so awesome.

Fluttershy and Big Mac?(Big Fluttermac?)

This.....this pairing makes sense to me. They just seem like they would work well together.

 

[Tornado]

I don't see most of those from the links in the gallery.

That's because business.





So, someone took this:

And wrote a dramatic story about it. And it worked. The talent some of these people have is amazing.



Reading "I Won't See You Tonight" right now. Let me just say that it certainly doesn't sound not soul crushing based on the Description. Or the image at the beginning of the chapter.



Edit: Okay, yeah. That wasn't soul-crushing. Nevermind. Though the author's notes are filling me with dread regarding how this is going to end.







In other news, that means I'm caught up with everything except the two stories I'm holding off until TNTNE updates.

Edit 2: Well, I was, but Irreplaceable updated while I was reading everything else, and I think I'm going to pack it in in regards to Ponies for the night.

Edit 3: And so did Divergence. One step forward and two steps back.

 

[Minty]

Wow this thread is moving really slowly today. I'll just throw something random from Drawfriends I guess.

Also, I've got almost the entire week off, so if the mood hits me after I get home tomorrow, I'll get to my list of must-read fan-fics.

 

[Wiegert]

^I'm hoping TNTNE is up tomorrow. It's been so long since I read part 13, although I don't feel the need to go back and read it because what happened in that chapter seems to be stuck in my mind.


Also, that image of the space shuttle creating a Sonic Rainboom just became 20% cooler:

Anyway, I really should get some sleep, g'night everypony:

 

[Akira GT]

Odd things always happen when i'm bored and come across new software/site
This is just the latest:

Which was made using this site: http://generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/MLP-FiM-Pony-Creator-Beta-210228500

and some slight various photo edits...

 

[Akira AC]

Tonight I got nothing(except for a headache cause by an overuse of friendship lubricate,never drink too much wine,I got the shivers).

So,as seen on ED:

Me don't have anything else,me posting funny,me goes to sleep.

Go-od-ni-ght-eve-ry-po-ny.

 

[MercilessOne]

All we ever want is indecision

All we really like is what we know

[Minty]

So It's incredibly late here, I just found out how to get to the moon in that Minecraft server.
At first I was all:

But then I saw the signs in Luna's fort:

And now I'm all:

Anyway, I'm not going back to "superhappyfuntime"(name of warp location) anytime soon, because the name is very misleading, that place isn't fun or happy.

Anyway, being 4:34 I'm going to bed now;
G'night everypony.

And yes I'm going to use this picture until I find a better one.....and I'm not sure such a thing exists.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Though the author's notes are filling me with dread regarding how this is going to end.

Everypony dies.

 

[Tornado]

Oh boy. Spark ending.













So, last night I watched that really creepy episode of the Powerpuff Girls that used to scare the crap out of me when I was still in elementary school. And the whole time I was getting crazy TNTNE vibes from it. It made the whole thing feel just as creepy as it was when I was little.

You too? Man I hated that episode.

@Toronado

Spark?

And what is it about my author notes that is so foreboding?
