Jim Mercurio recently wrote a book, The Craft of Scene Writing: Beat by Beat to a Better Script, that I've been meaning to plug here for years, but haven't yet got around to re-reading the book to write the review. It's a book worth re-reading, but I decided to wait until the Audible audiobook was on sale.
[ADDED MARCH 11 2023: I wish I hadn't posted this. I posted it because I liked his take on redemption; but the lead-up to it, in which he accuses Americans of loving "pain porn", is both dumb and hypocritical. After cutting out the dumb part, there isn't enough good stuff left to be worth reading.]
So what that means is that either... A: Equestria is run by the most villainous of villains OR B: The Evil League of Evil is run by the most wonderful and gracious Princess.
Ah, that explains why villains in MLP are vanquished so easily. They are actually absorbed into the Evil League of Evil and given new names. The evidence is clear. Nightmare Moon becoming "Luna" a sister that was never noticed before. Discord supposedly locked up forever in stone, and yet he's making commercials for The Hub. Chrysalis vanishing, but showing back up in comic books for five bucks a piece, with *dozens* of different covers (each of which is another five spot) Obviously each of their evil schemes was great enough to be accepted into the League.
Now I'm jealous. Guess I need to go make a Freeze Ray.
well then.
It all makes sense now. //dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Twilight_crazy.png
Congratulations! Your name is slightly more interesting than mine.
Mine means: cleared land, of the helm, or of the crown.
You sly dog...

I honestly don't know which is more awesome... Somepony write that fic.//dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Twilight_crazy.png
Wait... Your iRL name is Epona? Awesome!
I'm totally not trying to reverse engineer your name from that piece of information
So your name is Philip or something similar?
Maybe not. If memory serves Zeus had a proclivity for changing forms and having 'relations' with ladies that struck his fancy.

Irene Phillips?
Dear Princess Bad Horse...
And you receive and send mail through magical means (country singers) with your evil students and fellow evil... evilers.
My name means: "watchful, alert"
It should probably mean: "lazy, bedsores"
EDIT: You should probably fix the link in the post you'll make eight years from now.
5573051 Okay, thanks. I'll have done that 8 years and 1 hour from now.
Peaceful god… Theo something.
Theobroma cacao. 'Cocoa, the food of the gods'

I'm unreasonably amused that people got the name "cocoa" from "cacao" by swapping the vowels.
