A Song of Ice and Ponies might be up for adoption/Not sure if I'll stay around this fandom much longer · 4:06am May 30th, 2013
I just feel so goddam disenfranchised about this whole MLP thing right now, I don't feel like I'm still enjoying this whole pony thing like I used to. Back when I first started watching the show I had a lot of fun, it started when my girlfriend was watching the show and tried to get me into it, and though I convinced her I didn't like it very much the show was funny and unique and I kept up with it for a while. Then partway through the second season I found out about EQD and Fimfiction and sort of just wound up getting into it all, I started reading fanfics and looking at art and I thought it was all pretty cool. I never identified myself as a brony publicly, I would get way too much shit from my friends as jocks tend to be complete assholes about this kind of thing. I rarely felt like I wasn't enjoying myself when I was reading fics or just generally looking at pony stuff, it became an escape when things went wrong.
When shit got really bad this fall, it all became sort of an emotional crutch. I had to write a paper that had a touchy subject that I don't want to get into, my professor assigned it to me and I thought I could take it on fairly well. It turned out that my college was full of assholes and my teammates at the time were dicks, I basically got shunned out of the team and wound up transferring universities because of all of the horseshit. During that time though I would head onto this site and read all of your fanfics, ranging from horrible shit to epic stories, and escape from it all. I absolutely enjoyed the fandom at that time, while bullshit was still all around here things were still fun.
Lately though I just haven't been enjoying myself in the fandom, people bitching over little shit like Equestria Girls and the bullshit that's happened in several groups is just annoying. It's like we all decided to become high school girls one day, it pisses me off.
I've been doing this internet thing for a while now, some may call me an oldfag. I fought countless youtube wars in middle school, in high school I was in peak trolling form, and now in college I'd rather focus on athletics and academics, but I still love dicking around on the internet. I just feel like this is the most depressing the internet has been in all my time dicking around, and trust me when I say that the internet has seen some depressing times. I just don't feel an attachment to this site anymore, just a ffew people who happen to be on it.
Now I just can't point out why I'm still here, I have a story posted and two more in the works and for the past week that's been the only reason I've stayed, I really want to finish A Song of Ice and Ponies for the people who want to read it. If I decide I'm leaving then I'll put the story up for adoption and give the new author my outline for the story, if you want then you can apply for the story in the comments or pm me. I also have two other stories that somebody may want to write if they're interested, a horror/comedy and a parody. The horror/comedy is a tribute to John Dies at The End, and the parody is Star Wars if every character was Scootaloo.
Overall this pony thing has been good to me, to the few of you that decided to follow me I want to say thank you for your time if I don't post again, you're all fucking beautiful people for following me. I'm 90% sure that science proves it.
Aight, I'll miss you if you go
1113472 Thanks man, you've always been a good guy. For a lot of people you're their first follower, and while it may not be a big thing overall, it was pretty cool thing to see that I had gotten my first follower. Even if it wasn't for any specific reason.

1113516 Dude you can't do this to me. You just convinced me to stay, and mine was about the same. Yeah there is bitching and yeah there is a lot of emotion right now. Just let the shit calm down, let the fourth season come out, and we can wait for everyone to shut the fuck up and grow up. Sorry, I'm going to be a little more honest about it all. The fandom of anything is shit, you know that I know that. Yet at this point, I am finding enjoyment out of the fan made content and the the awesome people who troll in this fandom. Shit I never knew trolls could be this good at what they do, seems like a brony troll is just redundant. Anyways, whatever you decision, just know we got you home slice. We will be here for ya, even if you do leave the fandom you can always get on here and bug us for anything. We got ya.
1113554 I feel like absolute shit that I didn't mention you in this blog post now, you're fucking awesome man. Don't forget that. I originally found out about your writing because I was looking for fics about the best pony, Pinkie Pie, and the first story that came up was Pinkie's First Toke. I read it, I wound up prereading for you a few times, and we've dicked around in the forums, you've been my favorite person on this site since then.
Zero regrets.
The thing is I'm not sure if I'm leaving yet, its just that I feel like my time on the internet is coming to an end. I've been around for a long time, and I had originally left for good about a year before I got into MLP. My first profile pic on this site was of Cabaji from One Piece because he was the main character of my first(and worst) fanfic from way back when. I almost feel like I've taken in too much internet bullshit over the course of my life, stupid troll wars and fandom "disasters" ranging from stupid developents in One Piece when I was younger to the cast of Game of Thrones being announced(I still don't like the kid who plays Bran, but that's not for this site).
I'll still dick about on this site from time to time if I don't leave because of guys like you who make this site worth it. I might not leave, but I'll be honest when I say I'm not feeling too creative because of it all.
I could probably say all of this better but I can't find the words. I was having a ball when I started writing A Song of Ice and Ponies and I've had the whole thing planned out for a while, now I'm just struggling to put the words down.
EDIT: Fuck it, I'll stick around for a while. The fics may still be up for adoption, but you better write something with Zecora to make this stay worth it.
Also if you have xbox live my gamertag is ImpulseZues9103, I got it and never felt like changing it. It should probably be wargame-something though.
1113576 Alrighty, I'll see about the Xbox thing. As for Zecora, I'm told that I write her rhyming pretty well considering. I might find time to do a fic with her at some point, I want to, just I don't know what yet.
1113688 Eh, don't do it for my sake. I was honestly just making a joke about the Zecora thing.
I'm considering opening a side account to write clopfics though, it would be interesting to see how they would do.
I'll probably write some Zecora there if I make one.
1113712 Na man, I really like Zrcoras character and I've wanted to write about her for a while now.
Right I just read this, and we have similar stories. Though I wasn't popular in Secondary/High school, got my leg broken in soccer(Its Football) games cos of stupid shit, Then i decided to do Engineering at Uni, How am I meant to get ma hole on a Uni course filled with lads? so if your gonna leave I'm gonna hunt you down and shove ma phone up yer keekiewinker and ring it till your arse gets a brain tumour :) JK I do feel bad for you :/ i would miss your stories. Anyway I thought this might cheer you up! This was a massive hit in Scotland so it must be good
Hope you stay mate, Wont be the same with out you.
1124349 Ah, I've played with enough Englishmen to break a leg myself, rough that you got injured. I considered writing a story called Kloppo du Popstar, where Jurgen Klopp winds up in Equestria. It was going to be a long string of footy jokes.
As for my stories? I haven't even posted the second one yet
My second story is just as fun to write as A Song of Ice and Ponies, and because of the subject matter I don't feel the need to constantly scrap and rewrite chapters to make sure its good enough.
And I've decided to stay, that weirdo lower in the comments Prince Solstice convinced me to.
If you want to get updated on when my new story comes out or when I make blog posts about how much progress I've made in my writing there's a button that says "follow" by my username.
Science has proven that pressing that button makes you 60% more attractive, and if you're Welsh you may need that for medical purposes
Also Scotland is weird
1124429 IF YOU JUST THOUGHT I WIS WELSH ILL CHASE I A FLIPPING SHEEP! HOWS SCOTLAND WEIRD? got the most successful football club in the world
I thought I did follow you, well SORRY. consider yourself followed.
And I'm glad theres more weirdos on this site, I thought it was a bunch of Pony loving snobs ;)
Glad your staying buddie. Give me a shout should you need help!
1124442 Scotland has the most successful club in the world
Nobody informed me of that one, and I'll send you a pm if I decide to write Kloppo du Popstar
