Post Bronycon Blog · 2:19am Aug 12th, 2015
Well after a day of sleeping off all that had happened at Bronycon, I am now awake and alert to tell you guys all about it. Overall, my Bronycon experience was very fun, albeit it ended way too quickly.
I landed in Thursday and chilled with a bunch of writer friends, as well as all my voice acting friends once I had a minute. A lot of Thursday was spent chilling back and forth between the two teams, one comprised of writers who are as follows:
Jake the Army Guy
Aquaman
Sunchaser
Golden Vision
Cyborg Samurai
Captain Unstoppable
Golden Vision
Dusk Quill
Alexstrasza
Pen Stroke
Capn Cryssalid
Tayman
GaryOak
Archonix
Wanderer D
COLD IN MOTHER FUCKING GARDEZ
Skywriter
Skeeter the Lurker
Bad Horse
Applejinx
Noble Cause
Cloudhammer
Pav Feira
Razed Rainbow
Burraku Pantsa
GAPJaxie
Csquared
And yeah.
The friends that I hung out with included Caitbug, TheLostNarrator, OBabScribbler (EEEEEEEEE I GOT TO MEET SCRIBBLER AND HER COCKNEYNESS), Royfury, KjOokami, Crassanova, and other people that I've known for a while.
Thursday was mostly watching TheLostnarrator and Gutius Serenade enjoying the Bar Trot, along with a few other friends. There was a bunch of alcohol and voices to be had, including Caitbug and TheLostNarrator doing Dash and Scootaloo back and forth. Interesting enough, Lost does a REALLY GOOD Rainbow Dash voice. She has the rasp down and everything.
I met all the writer friends, and we had dinner and stuff. I released Doomsday Arcade to a lukewarm reception since I wanted something to talk about once the Crossovers Panel was in action. My Five Nights with Freddie's story couldn't be published in time, but I did promise that DA would be out for my fans before Bronycon. And it was... by a day.
Friday was when it got interesting. I was a part of the Scoping and Sizing Your Story for Success Panel, which went really well. The other writers were Captain Cryssalid, Pen Stroke, CyborgSamurai, and myself. It was at a really late time slot (as were all the other writing panels except a few), which was minutely lame. However, we did what we could with our particular time slots, and I got to tout Doomsday Arcade for a little bit as well as talking about basically what not to do with DA: Make it huge and expansive and a multiverse. I'll post that panel when it's on Youtube.
Saturday was when it got interesting. I got a press pass for Equestria Daily and managed to interview Amy Keating Rogers. I was very surprised to find that NO ONE except two other cameramen came to interview her, so I got to ask the five questions that I had written down as well as others that came to mind. I also heard that not a lot of people wanted interviews from Amy either, which I think is just fucking weird.
WHO DOESN'T WANT TO INTERVIEW AMY? NOW THAT SHE'S NOT ON THE SHOW ANYMORE, HAS EVERYONE'S INTEREST JUST DROPPED LIKE A ROCK?
I don't know. I found that really frustrating, but at the same time, I basically got to 1 on 1 interview her, which was really fun to see her perspective on things as well as how she writes. She basically writes like me, except she's way more productive than I am...
Along with Saturday, I got to participate in the Equestria Daily panel, taking over for Aquaman who was scheduled for a Romance panel at the time. The panel was excellent, considering last year's turnout wasn't as good as this one. Nearly half of the room was filled, and a lot of the audience had a bunch of funny questions about the process.
Finally Saturday night, I took part in the Crossovers Panel with Wanderer D, Capn Cryssalid, GAPJaxie, CyborgSamurai, and myself. The panel did very well. I moderated the entire thing and I think it piggy backed off of the previous year's panel into familiar, yet new territory. I hope to have it next year and I will post the panel when it's done as usual.
I got my ass kicked at DDR by Tayman, because that bastard has a metal pad at home and he can play. It's not fair. I want a metal pad. I'm sad.
Sunday was the Comedy Panel up in the morning, which I was 5 minutes late to because I thought it was at 10:30. It was a good panel and had a good reception, and I got to talk about My Little Diamond. Interestingly enough, that's Aqua's favorite fic of mine, for some reason. I can't blame him, but it was something I pooped out for a contest in like 1 day. Oh well. It's always those type of fics that get popular.
Either way, Monday was mostly dicking around. I met with Lost and the other fanfic reader dudes and mostly chilled on a 7 hour flight home. My Bronycon was busy, but it was really fun. I'm planning on going next year, and I hope to have even more fun and be a part of more panels than this year! See you guys next time around! I have many stories to tell, and I hope you'll stick around for me to tell them!

If I had known, I'd have poked the guy to see if he'd do like he did with G.M. Barrow...
~Skeeter The Lurker
Acceptable.
It was cool seeing you again, Vic, even if we didn't talk much this time around.
Those little girls up front made that panel.
Wait, there was DDR? D: Why was I not informed...
Good to see you again!
God dammit, how did I miss all you awesome folks? Wished we coulda met for a few moments at least.
Aww, Cold in Gardez was there? I'll just have to go next year.
Those scheduling conflicts
I find it comforting that they still never found anyone as good as me to run scheduling. I think I'll show up next year just to see which poor soul took my job.

Those girls were adorable as hell. Especially the one that said she wanted to come work for EqD!
Also? next year, you and me, Vic. I'm no heavy player, but it'd be fun! You finally getting some sleep?
It was great meeting you again this year! I'm glad you were only 5 minutes late for the comedy panel. It turns out having Capn as a backup was a great idea. I'm honestly surprised we stayed the course with six panelists instead of the originally planned five. It was fun when we got talking and I forgot to be tired for a while.
You forgot me and WandererD on the fic size panel. At least, I think I was there...
Also... I'm sad I missed the chance to meet Scribbler. Ah well, maybe next year.
