Colt Conversion: Going from Anti- to Pro- MLP · 10:31am Mar 14th, 2015
I am not sure if I'm quite a Brony. I was, in 2010, my Junior Year of High School, quite the misanthrope when it came to giving a new show its due. I grew up in a prominently Conservative family, and, despite my love of animation, I joked about the franchise that was and is My Little Pony for as long as I could remember. To be fair, it was saccharine and a bit over done for most of the previous generations. It wasn't strictly the femininity. I watched "The Powerpuff Girls" religiously, for one

No, it is no way mandatory to say "everypony." There is a large group of people who do, and others who never have. Some Bronies are Furries, where using such "fandom slang" is common, but most aren't, and only do it once in a while or to be part of a specific conversation. Do whatever feels right to you.
No, you do not get notified if people are Tracking your story. They are just informed when you update the chapters. Authors only receive notifications when their story is Favorited. The story only gains "weight" on FIMFiction searches and popularity indexes when it is Faved, too, so if you are really, really enjoying a story be sure to give it a Favorite rather than a Track!
I hope this helped!

The same with yours! Once I'm caught up with the series, I intend to read a lot of material. Even if you completely spoiled your story by telling me things grrrrrrr. No. No. It's...it's fine...

I now officially have a question. Thanks for humoring me before though with the joke question. Do I get notified if someone starts tracking my stories? I've had a fair amount of views already, but I can only guess one person actually liked the opening enough to like the story. (Technically, the story has 2 likes... I didn't realize you could accidentally like your own content, and now it's stuck xD) I don't need people to like it right away, since it's my first story, and only on the first chapter. I just want to know if anybody's been drawn in and wants to see more.
Also... is it mandatory to say everypony instead of everybody? Like, am I breaking some sort of unwritten code (Or worse, written code I haven't noticed yet because I'm not looking hard enough) or a site tradition?

If you ever figure that one out, please let me know!
You are most welcome! I hope that you'll jump right in and enjoy the stories and the community here on the site.
