Everfree Northwest 2013 · 2:02pm Jul 11th, 2013
If you have never been to an MLP convention of any magnitude I highly recommend you try and make it someday. Everfree Northwest was simply amazing. Three great days of just meeting random awesome people to keep in touch with. Staying up till two in the morning with Piquo Pie (who is making the Fan Fiction Documentary), Xepher, and Petano Prime just discussing random stuff. Meeting up with other authors at a couple of meet ups specifically for fans of fan fiction and authors. Suffering through the Iron Author competition (when my creative side seemed to leave for a bit). Just be sure to leave your cares at the door and have some fun.

I have to agree! My brain is still trying to process everything from the weekend. At some point I'm going to have to write up a longer essay on the whole thing. I know I love pony, but the scientist in me is determined to figure out and codify why I do. My time at Everfree gave me a lot of new data on that.

Thanks for the sympathy. It was a blast!

For sure. I once had something written up about how, at least for me, the interest comes from a root of irony and never wanting to grow up or something cliche like that.
