Celestia Sleeps In--Chapter 6 notes and thanks · 4:05am Mar 5th, 2013
Chapter 6 notes and thanks:
As always, a big thanks to my pre-readers:
My parents, Woonsocket Wrench, and Humanist.
Peril-sensitive sunglasses are (of course) from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
The curved blade is a wingblade, a reference to Chengar Qordath’s “The Life and Times of a Winning Pony.”
Ponies did not build the pyramids.
Borg are from Star Trek.
Hazmat suits are, in fact, available at Amazon.com
Nopony is a robot, with the possible exception of Rarity’s younger sister.
I’m not sure where I came across the name Equuis, and Google isn’t helping.
Pegos as the name for the pegasus language is from “Catch For Us the Little Foxes” by Cynewulf
Everyone I asked in Dale’s age group remembered learning the alphabet song. Everyone.
I have no idea if Hooked on Phonics is still around, but that was their phone number back in the day. I considered calling it.
Jennifer’s plane is a Piper PA-34-200T Seneca II with the optional club seating.
In other news, it is possible that Twilight and Lyra will have (stereotypical-characterization-wise) switched roles.
Not really--Twilight would probably be just as interested if he were a talking slug...
*Shrug
I remember the alphabet song.
Also, I vaguely remember authors calling the pony planet "Eques, Equis, or Equss."
the internet just revealed to me that you got Pegos from me.
Neat!

You're also the reason that these blog posts even exist.

I can't cite the source.
I don't remember where you suggested it: on one of my blogs, on a forum post, on one of your blogs, in a story comment . . . who knows.
But you did, way back when I was a newbie to FanFiction. And I even credited you in the last chapter of CSI:
4063598 wow. I had no idea. That certainly sounds like something I would say tho : D
