Pony Talk Episode 66-The Future of The Fandom · 8:01pm Jan 27th, 2019
The show is ending, BronyCon is ending, just where does that leave our beloved fandom? Well I give my best guess.
The show is ending, BronyCon is ending, just where does that leave our beloved fandom? Well I give my best guess.
Those of us among the RCL curators who are attending Bronycon have a panel in the works, "Ponyfic: There Can Be Only One." We're going to determine the greatest MLP fanfic ever written through what I'm sure will be highly scientific and objective processes, for a very serious and legally binding prize.
The greatest MLP fanfic ever written...
Eeyup, that’s what the RCL curators are trying to determine, and you can have a say!
Last year, our decision to go to BronyCon '16 was somewhat spur-of-the-moment in that we made few plans and had just as few social "obligations" for lack of a better word. There were some friends that wanted to meet up with us and that was about it. We had a great time, of course!
I just didn't know then what an absolutely amazing and thoroughly wonderful time it could have been… and was this year.
On Monday, when I got on the highway in Grand Rapids after two early morning flights, I balled my eyes out for about 30 minutes straight. I mean it, I was crying like crazy and just could not stop. These were not bad tears, though, no, no, far from it. These were some of the best tears I've had in a long time. My tears came from one place and one place only: the sheer shock I felt and still feel at how very much BronyCon 2016 met and far exceeded my expectations in oh so many ways.
Hello, all! Stahl here!
Yes, it's true, the socialist scourge of Fimfiction will be at BronyCon. I'm totally last minuting this; I haven't even bought my train ticket (from California!!!) because there is a ton of debt and lack of executive functioning in my life. But even if I have to take out another couple payday loans, God dammit, THIS IS THE YEAR I GO TO BRONYCON!!!
This... this isn't Canterlot
WHERE AM I
Some MacDash to start off with, because I'm still Shipping Trash
Wow! Where the hell have I been?!
That is actually a very good question, so here is a quick summery of why I have not been writing, making blog posts as much as I used to.
I work for Enterprise now.
I have no life.
I hate my job.
Hey guys!
Looks like my last Spitfire x Soarin' fic bombed a little bit (sad horn noise); oh well, them's the ropes! I do, however, have a few brief updates for anyone who might be interested:
Hello there everypony,
As promised, I have one more story to release before Bronycon, and this one will be coming tomorrow afternoon. Here's a look at the cover art-
It's a dirty comedy featuring all the pictured ponies. Can you guess what it might be about?
Anyway, see you tomorrow~
So I was planning on going to Bronycon this year. It sounds like a cool thing, I suppose, but the big draw was seeing a lot of awesome people while I was there. parasprite, Brasta, Akumo, possibly RainbowBob, and a whole lot more awesome people are gonna be there., and we were gonna have an awesome time.
Two of my favorite YouTubers ever are Magpiepony and Silver Quill.
Oh yeah and some other stuff I'll mention later when the con has ended.
Fruit Flies like a banana.
It’s officially panic time. I’m hammering in final edits to two of my Bronycon Bookstore fics, and--well, now’s your last chance to offer helpful suggestions!
1. my girlfriend who may or may not be parasprite is super snuggly and I love her so much oh my goodness yes she is my girlfriend and yes I am so happy with her oh my goodness gracious me yes yes yes
2. Brasta_Septim is the best friend you will ever have and I'm super happy that he's here too
... though not for lack of trying. In between a layoff and a vacation at my new job, I've been working the work of three people. (At least I've been earning double paychecks due to all the OT.) The death march hopefully should ease up this week.
As a reminder that I'm still around, new story in the morning! A minific that started life in one of the Quills & Sofas speedwriting competitions back in like ... mid-August.
First things first: A reader who wishes to remain anonymous has created some unique fan art inspired by Quiet Boy and Moon Horse! It's a Christmas ornament [1] [2] honoring the beautiful dark winged unicorn who pulls the moon across the sky. I can almost hear the sound of distant crickets.
Hey, guys!
So, uh, yeah... Those of you here at Bronycon have probably seen the madness that was the vendor hall yesterday. I pretty much sold out of Into the Dark in about three hours. If you are here at Bronycon, I believe we are taking either back orders or doing a direct sale-to-mail. Come to the booth (513, I think? Its just around the corner from Ruirik's woodworking booth.) and talk to Aquaman for final confirmation on how it's all going down.
I need to send one final recap to thank y'all for your generous horsebrutality and friendship. The con was amazing and it was a joy to spend it with everypony there.
Here you can see me cosplaying as slightly less of a dork.
And we're back!
