No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is.
Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. |

When Rarity and Fluttershy want to spend some girl time together, they go to the spa and get massages or bathe or do the mud on the face thing (I have no idea what it's called in real life or in Pony life, lol). What would Rarity and Twilight do when they want to spend some girl time together? I would like to have a gossip scene between the two (eventually I'll have a cameo from all of the six ponies)

So how about that story?

The story is quite dark, but if you managed to get through Fallout:Equestria it shouldn't be a problem. It's definitely not Cupcakes-level dark. I am a huge fan of 'Aliens' and 'The Thing' movies, and FMA anime - my story will be heavily influenced by those works in some of its aspects, but I won't describe much gorey stuff.
Wish me luck! I'm sure you will have a lot of volunteers if you ever need pre-readers, including me. You convinced me at Aliens and FMA.
And about this one?

climax was somewhat underwhelming

Thanks for everyone's help on the MLP fanfiction questions. I shall follow said advice. I also intend to get somewhere between 25 and 50% done before thinking about submission, because I don't want to be that jerk who posts three chapters and then never finishes it. Before submitting, I want to have put in enough effort and time that I'll be fairly sure I will complete it. So that'll give plenty for pre-reading and such. I'll probably ask for volunteers from here to do so, if the project gets to that point.
I don't think I'd be a good enough writer to make EqD considering those standards: I think I could make a better-than-average fic, even a good one, but ofc. with plenty of work and editing, it's at least worth a shot
Meanwhile, I have to actually WRITE now that the initial feasibility check is done

Ooooh, yes, CHoM. I remember reading a longer prologue which I found excellently detailed and pleasant to read.
Yep, found it.
On August 31 2012 20:37 Tritanis wrote:@nohbrows @Camail Firstly, thanks for taking your time to read my work and comment on it! Yes, I am not a native English speaker so the language barrier will probably be the worst thing to overcome. I will definitely need a very patient and understanding editor (or pre-reader - I don't really know what's the difference). I agree that the chapter I posted has a lot of scenes that probably wouldn't draw attention to my fic as much as I would like. I wanted the first few parts of the prologue to be like some sort of NG/AnimalPlanet document, but I guess it won't do any good at the very beginning of the story. I have already planned a new, shorter version of the prologue where the "Apparition" is only mentioned, and the emphasis is put on the immediate effects it entails (the scenes that I plan to write take place in Twilight's library and Canterlot at the exact time when the orb appears in Yellowhoof). Nevertheless I definitely won't scrap the stuff that I have already written - after some slight editing I will use it as some kind of interlude later on. Using it as a prologue - something that has to draw readers attention - wasn't really a well thought-out idea. Oh and here is the link to fimfiction.net (I got rid of the 'one hour later' thing, it wasn't really necessary) if anybody wanted to leave a comment there. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/36927/Chronicles-of-Magic
Definitely caught my attention, and I believe it was a rather strange decision not to make it part of your story. I would actually prefer it as the prologue over the shorter one since I find the latter to be generic and preachy. Oh well.

Most people here are already aware of this, but there's a post about the new MLP Mare-A-Thon over in the TL Community section. If there's anything missing from the thread, let me know.
Get hype for the weekend! It's been a long time since we've had one of these.

Just spreading the ahmagad+nostalgia.

Man, school is out that week, nothing is due. And I'll be turning in a big project before break starts. It's time to stay up long than my body was designed for. Please, can someone take care of my fightstick if I die? Sometimes she gets cold when the heat isn't on and needs to be wrapped in a blanket.

She will be well cared for. I'll even pick up a pocket Ryu in your memory.

Juri wants a fightstick. Would you dare deny her? Think long and hard.

Pad for life. Though, I will take your joystick and use it to play shmups.
Now, witness the tool of your destruction through my hands:
Fear it.

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of your mains never winning tournaments. It's quite a deafening silence.
