Hello Everypony!

I am sorta new here as you can see and I am not going to lie... I am a horrid author....

I do hope that one day I will post my first Fimfic here, but that will come at a later time.
Oooh! First off, I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I am starting to get into awarding badges to different authors. As hard as it is to read some of the *shudder* fics around here (THE GRAMMAR! BLAUUUUGH!!!) I will try my best to be unbiased but I sometimes I can't help myself. Anyways, I will be posting different badges here and hopefully it might catch on and allow the reader's to add a fun little way to rank their fav fics!

Manly Tears
This badge is awarded only to those who effectively make the reader cry. Be it a single tear or even a total bawling. the only requirement is that a single tear must fall or slide down the reader's face.

Silver Hooves
This badge is something like having a 'Silvered Tongue' as some older people might say. The requirements to gain this badge are somewhat simple, yet hard to actually pull off. The reader must be totally pulled from reality and actually believe that this is happening right in front of them. This happened to me while reading several stories from The Conversion Bureau Universe. If you haven't read any of these, I would greatly suggest it. I had actually gotten up from my computer to check on the progress of the Equestria bubble by turning on the news. Only to remind myself that it wasn't actually happening.

Badge of Dreamers
This badge is awarded to the authors who can actually make the reader have a dream very similar to the story. I had this experience when I fell asleep while reading Going Pony. In that dream, me and my family were in a Conversion bureau and awaiting ponification. Lots of wierd things happened, but in the end I was turned into a pegasus, but I woke up before I gave myself a pony name. My parents were Earth ponies, while my sister was a unicorn.

Ghost Writer
This badge is a personal favorite of mine. To be awarded this badge, the author must write all different fics(or series of fics) in a different style. An example would be Chatoyance's works. Each series she write are in a different style, and it is very refreshing.

Bittersweet Endings
An example of this badge would be Last Man Standing written by Windchaser. The badge is given to the author after completing a fic that has a tearjerker for an ending. It doesn't actually have to make the reader cry, but make them feel like they might. I tend to love endings like this, but not many people seem to be able to pull it off.

I don't actually have anymore badges made yet, but that will come as I think of them. I may actually draw a badge for them all at a later time. My comp at home is buggy and I can't actually upload anything unless I go to a library or something. Any artists notice that your greatest inspirations tend to hit after you can't actually show anyone?

May your hooves stay strong,
your wings never tire,
and your magic never dim.
