When the legend becomes fact - print the legend. (Specialist in AU stories)
Last year, around October, Ice Star posted this fun questionnaire and I ask whether I could do it too. The answer was yes but the thing is, I was busy and completely forgot about doing it. Now, as I'm sick in bed, I have time and I can answer (I don't know if that's clear). So, stick with me (if you want to) and let's go!
But I happen to be writing a mini thesis about the Brony fandom for one of my College classes about subcultures. Life is amazing!
I know, I know, the story's been on hiatus for at least a year now. But still, I really wanted to keep on writing it and bringing you the rest of the story, once College will leave me enough time to write something on a regular basis. I have really enjoyed creating this post-apocalyptic AU which contained a lot of theme which were dear to me and which, unfortunately, hasn't even been tackled
Yeah, I know this isn't a story but... I wanted to share with you the playlist of songs I've made which for me fits with Rainbow Dash as I made her in The Truth About Girls. Also, I used to play many of those songs when I was writing this fiction and A Story of Love (Among Others). Hope you'll enjoy, and don't forget to tell me what's your opinion. Thank you 
Though my lack of activity might have led you to think otherwise... 
I'm currently writing a Short Story set in the universe of The Truth About Girls and something is a bit bothering me... There's no "fantastic" tag on the site! Of course, there's a "sci-fi" one but science-fiction and fantastic aren't exactly the same genre of stories. Has anyone of you ever thought this tag would be really helpful?

Fantastic? Are you sure that is the name of genre you are looking for? Perhaps you mean fantasy? IF so while I have never really noticed that the fantasy tag does not exist here I guess one could argue that it would be fairly redundant since MLP is a fantasy story in general. From this perspective the tag would be nearly useless as since unless you make alternate universe stories to use other genres MLP is by default a fantasy story and so would always have this tag (making it useless). This is true whether we talk about EG or not as even EG is also a fantasy setting (though one clearly more like our world than the standard setting).
I think you would be better off using some other tag than fantasy to be honest.
No, I really mean fantastic... Bordering with supernatural, with a feeling of confusion, whether in a fantasy setting, supernatural or magic are accepted as facts and truth. Maybe I don't explain myself clearly...

Well I think the problem you are running into is that first I tried looking it up and fantastic is not a genre at least in any general usage that I can see. That would make it very unlikely to be created as a tag since tags are probably only going to get made for genres that have a lot of support. Also what you are describing at least to me sounds very much as fantasy of certain types in many cases such as Dresden Files or Harry Potter if the story were to take place in the muggle realm primarily.
It is possible that I am missing something and fantastic as a genre tag is a more common thing and something others use but I personally have not seen it yet. Perhaps with more of an explanation I could do better on finding this information.

The interpretation of the genre is clearly different in France than in English language... Indeed, there are common movies if I type "films fantastiques" in French and "fantasy movie" in English. Here, we're doing a distinction between fantastic and fantasy (in a fantasy movie, supernatural elements are accepted as ordinary, whereas in a fantastic movies, supernatural elements are popping into real life, and the characters will have a conscious that this isn't "normal", that reality has been distorted...) That's why when I thought about my story, for me it clearly didn't fit with a "fantasy" tag (if such a tag existed, of course) because the "supernatural" elements are really blurred and there's a strong feeling of confusion, like "Is this reality? Is this a dream? Is it a surnatural experience?", and in here we call that genre "fantastic", whereas in the English language the genre is called "fantasy". Hence my point in question...
