After much prodding from me, the Beloved Spouse has finally created a DeviantArt account and uploaded all of the neat MLP fan art that ze's been creating. You can see the Spouse's gallery over at http://lennia2005.deviantart.com/. So far, the gallery includes the cover art that I've used for my stories "Not Unless You Mean It" and "Of Parties and Rainbows," plus a Rainbow Pie piece that was featured on Equestria Daily.

Check it out! :)

So in the song "The Art of the Dress," from the amazing "Suited for Success" episode (a.k.a., Rarity Has The Best Melt-Down Ever, All Because Of Her Ingrate Friends), Rarity sings about making dresses for each of her pals. At one part, she sings:

Even though it rides high on the flank
Rainbow won't look like a tank
I'm stitching Rainbow's dress.

Someone asks each of the voice actresses who their favorite pony is, and which pony they're most like, and Ashleigh Ball totally said Pinkie Pie is her fave. BECAUSE PINKIE PIE IS BEST PONY.

And now officially confirmed as 20% cooler.

So, this might be presumptuous as all get-out, but what the hey ... I'm happy to entertain story requests from the peanut gallery, should anyone have ideas that they might like to see me try my hand at. No promises that I will take on all requests, or that I'll take on a specific request, but I'm happy to consider any and all. (Hint: Story requests that are drabbles/one-shots will be infinitely more likely to be fulfilled that requests that would require writing something the length of War

I say in my little profile blurb that I don't have a least favorite pony, and that's true. I don't. I love all of the ponies, because they are all very lovable.

I have a running joke with my Beloved Spouse about Rainbow Dash, however. Every time we watch the show and Dash does something bone-headed/selfish/thoughtless/etc., I'll turn to the spouse and say, "Rainbow Dash is worst pony." Because sometimes, she really does act like it.

I tried leaving a comment on the ED post with my story, but I'm having issues with the commenting system at the present moment. I r dumb. Feel very badly that I haven't been able to do a proper thanks over them, but I'm unsure if I will be able to do so.

To everyone who's commented both here and over at ED: Thank you so much for reading my story and for taking the time to comment on it. I feel both highly honored and mildly terrified to have my story featured on ED.

So, you want to ship some ponies. This is completely understandable. Shipping ponies is adorable. But after you've successfully gotten your two ponies together (and for our purposes today, let us assume that you've shipped two female ponies, as that's demographically most common) ... what do your successfully-shipped ponies call one another? Lover? Gal pal? Significant other? Apple of my eye?

Well, maybe only Applejack would use that last one.

So, Pinkie Pie is best pony. I take this fact as self-evident.

(I kid. I know others have other favorite ponies, and many even dislike Pinkie. But hear me out here.)

One of the things I like about Pinkie is that, even though she's clearly the wackiest of the mane cast and the comic relief character, she's not a caricature. She has depth, she has pain. She's real.

A Highly Scientific Treatise on the Observable Phenomenon of Rainbow Pie

ABSTRACT

They are totes in love, you guys.

HYPOTHESIS

The romantic pairing of the ponies Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie (referred to, hereafter, as "Rainbow Pie") has a corporal basis in the canon of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic cartoon series. Or, at least, it's pretty darn close to canon.

FINDINGS
