    So, the episode it's out, Twilicorn drama is still raging and little old me that, alas, was affected by it, has his little opinion.

    Yes, Alicorn Twilight is very probably a blatant way to sell more toys.

    Does it matter to our awesome writers?

    Nope.

    In my latest post I've mentioned that a writer has to evolve and adapt to new ideas, to bend the status quo to his will and make art from raw materials. And I guess there cannot be a better clay than a commercial based show for writers that in the years have excited us, moved us to tears and made us laugh our asses off. So, the simple fact that the writing team pulled off one of the best episodes, if not the Best Episode of Season Three is a monument to their skill and a way to prove for us, we few, the happy few, we band of fanfiction writers to evolve alongside the show that allowed us to express that art we held in our hearts.

    They got the message of the show: Friendship is Magic. The bond between Twilight and her friends allowed for a true miracle to happen and strengthened itself beyond belief and the character of Twilight showed real growth, and I'm not talking just about the wings, of course. The leader and Inspiration of the Mane 6 is finally looked up from the rest of Equestria as well and there couldn't be a better ending.

    And with season four on the way, we have a promise of further adventures.

    Maybe I'm just saying old news, but I think what most people were pissed off about was the fact they believed Twilicorn to be a conceivable way to end the series for good. Probably the most difficult question for a writer to answer is  what happen after the hero gets his kingdom (or in this case, princesshood)?

    I have faith they will pull it off, just in the same way they made a cynic 24 years old with lots of issues and body hair a fan of pastel colored equines and loving it.

    See ya!

    P.S.

    Why no Prince Blueblood?

    I was writing the Eleventh Chapter of More than This and guess what? I made myself sad( insert Professor Farnsworth quote here)! So, after I finish the fic I think I'm going to focus on more comedic stuff. Be very afraid.

    I'm posting this totally unrelated video here because it's the first thing I had in mind and because I'm a musical nerd:

    Ever happened to you the moment you look back on something and you realize to have been a little too melodramatic? Yeah, I guess I needed a Rarity after that one. The thing is, I'm a writer. A writer has to adapt and evolve to new things and you know what? All hail Britannia and Princess Twilight.

    I started writing because I have fun doing it and that's it. In fact, it's thanks to this fandom that I started writing again and I guess I'll keep doing it. The show has done something really ballsy and the fics we write have to just evolve and accept the changes, not feel somehow invalidated by them. Just write, write and write to your heart content and everything will be okay. Sorry for the little outburst, but after a bad day like that one, we all just want to release the pent up frustration.

    Still not changing my mind about Twidash, though.

    I'm a Wizard... · 6:06am

    "WARNING, POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR WONDERBOLT ACADEMY!"

    So, if the next episode confirms UST between Flitter/Snowflake and Cloudchaser/Thunderlane as the images suggest, it may just be proof I have supernatural powers of clairvoyance. I wonder  if I'll look good in a Madame Pinkie Pie cosplay...

    Could anyone be so kind to tell me the name of some of the best Silver Spoon x Diamond Tiara fics out there? I need some reference material for my new fic (still work in progress), also they're my new favourite fifth favourite ship (sorry Rarijack...). Also, what is currently the highest rated, or just best written, PinkieDash clopfic?

    Hi, guys. Working on my new story "Attack of the Thousand Pinkie Pies" and i'm searching for someone kind enough, skilled enough and crazy enough to make a cover for it.

    Nothing too demanding: you'll know all the details if you accept.

    And, yes. If you looked at the title you can guess something...

    So...I've only slept, like, three hours tonight and i wanted to share my thoughts in this state. Who knows! Maybe i'm far more coerent now than awake!

    I always noticed that there are a lot of ponified version of The Avengers but very few of the Justice League, except for the shorts by Lauren Faust (Pinkie Pie/Batgirl= Win. Well, Pinkie=Win but that's beside the point.), how is that? Don't get me wrong: as a Marvel fan since i've learned how to read The Avengers is everything i always wanted from a movie but a little variety would be nice in the fandom. Rainbow Dash as Wally West, anyone?

    Also we need Crispin Freeman in Season 3. Why? Because he's Alucard and Red Arrow, that's why. Or Claudia Black. Everybody needs some Claudia Black.

    Sexiest. Voice. Ever.

    Oh, well...back on writing the next two chapters of Seven Shades of Rainbow and Attack of The Thousand Pinkie Pies(the title is still a work in progress)...

    Hello, my lovelies.

    "Through Loyalty and Love" is going to enter its second phase and i'll need someone kind enough to be my editor for future chapters (and the earlier ones too are in need of a revision), help me with spellcheck, grammar, maybe some story ideas, etc. Contact me if you're interested and you'll have my eternal gratitude. If you want some money, though, you'll have to wait until my "Get-Rich-Quick" scheme works ^^
