    How Many Times Does Trixie Actually Say "I"?

    One of Trixie's best-known traits in the fandom is that she speaks in the third person all the time. But does she really? Turns out, no one has ever counted the times she says "I." Until now...

    Hat Man Reviews: "Haze" by Bandy!

    Haze is a story that is filled with big ideas: Cloud empires. Flying earth ponies. Ancient religions. Superpower-inducing fungi. Unfortunately, much like the mushroom-munching ponies in this story, this story might be biting off more than it can handle…

Next "Iron Horse" Chapter is Delayed :( · 2:39am Feb 19th, 2017

Yeah, sorry about that folks. I've been dealing with my condition this week, and it's hard to write well when dealing with gut pain. Granted, work has been done, but not enough, and some of it had to be redone (and still might get scrapped). It's a very important chapter, so I want to make sure I get it right, and, like I always say, I'd rather release something late if it means getting it right.

Still, my apologies. :fluttershysad: I know many of you are eagerly waiting to see how this arc turns out and see if Turing Test gets her memory back, which will be the subject of the chapter after this next one. Hopefully the end result is worth the wait.

I'm going to need an example of those cursing horse noises.

Ah, sorry, The Hat Man; I hope you feel better soon.

4427891 That, I can do:

I certainly hope you feel better soon.

waiting to see how this arc turns out and see if Turing Test blah blah blah

4427954 :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh: oh my god joker pinkie!!!! That's both scary as fuck and hilarious all in one!!

It's fine. Take your time.

I hope that you feels better soon! Take cake of yourself! :pinkiegasp:

4428277 Thanks. I'm actually feeling pretty well today, so I might get a chance to get caught up. :twilightsmile:

:raritywink:4428749 Nice! :twilightsmile:

And apparently Hasbro is talking some tricks from Turing Test's book :raritywink:

4429048 I'm admittedly not as big into the toy side of the franchise but... hot damn, that's cute. :heart:

4429255 Maybe that is the way around the Uncanny Valley! :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

4430355 You joke, but from what I can tell, that's how a lot of folks think we will get around it: by building robots that DON'T try to look too much like us.

4430384 I was serious! But it don't change its hilarity! :raritywink:
