"To the everlasting glory of those few mares blessed and sanctified in the curses and execrations of those many whose praise is eternal damnation." I'll typeset your story in ConTeXt if you ask.
Today we have a short bonus post before I take my hiatus. It may be closer to a two-week hiatus, as the next post in the series will require some high-effort rewriting. In fact, since it relies on about 40–50 video embeds, it’ll be a Fimfiction exclusive.
Ok, it’s Number 5 on Reddit. I trust you can guess the pattern. Since I’m reposting this in 2022, this is all about Equestria before its first unification. Notably, this scenario couldn’t work for the pre-history of ANG, as it requires flying pegasi. I also felt like I did more copyediting of this post than earlier entries in the series. My apologies that it’s a wall of text essay instead of being broken up with headers. The original on Reddit had ponymotes to add visual cues.
This one is shorter than the prior few entries and, as such, has had a lighter 2022 editing touch. It's also largely already contained in the extended cut on my previous post on biplane pegasi posted here.
As always, I'll probably entirely rewrite the preface to my original Reddit post and replace it with 2022 commentary. In this case, I encourage you all to open up a discussion on unicorn vs. alicorn magic that I shouted out back in 2017 with an easily-buried link in a new tab as
I've replaced the introduction from my original post with this one. After the body of the post (past the second HR), I've also included a selection of worthwhile comments from the discussion the post generated back in May 2017.
This one was more of a request for opinions than a theory post, so there's no conclusive worldbuilding for you to carry forward. The commentary I received back in 2017 was short and scattered, so there's no deep consensus wisdom to uncover.
Without further ado, here it is in mostly-original form.
This isn't really a Reddit repost, but it may be the best series kickoff. Why? It also doubles as my history with the fandom, as this project has been ruminating on and off the back burner since shortly after I joined the herd. Besides, it is relevant as a Reddit crosspost because I have talked about it extensively over there in the various /r/mylittlepony Thursday threads. Why not blog about it here? I get responses on Reddit and crickets here. Why'd it take two days to write?
After attending Bad Horse's excellent talk on The Structure of Fimfiction at Trot Con last Friday evening, one of the questions was "why not do the same analysis but for Derpibooru?"
Let's start with
Or, put another way, a comparison of the relevant site features between Fimfiction & Derpi and would affect the social structure of the two sites.
This is a mostly-unedited translation of the original text of my review on Reddit translated from Markdown to BBCode. It was written over the course of Novemver 2021 and published on Thanksgiving Day. Yes, the original publication date is relevant due to the puns.
You'll need to jump over to Reddit to enjoy it. Perhaps I could ask Pandoc to convert the Markdown to BBCode and post it here as a blog post if enough people ask nicely.
