MY SECRET ORIGIN (Or: Blame Blueshift). · 2:03am Apr 1st, 2012
So!
It's been about a whole year I've been writing PONY STORIES. (The Caps Lock is essential, btw). Which, honestly, I find pretty crazy. I mean, I don't write as much as I'd like to (mostly because I'm lazy), and yet I've found some time to hammer out a handful of PONY STORIES. Fancy that!
Still, on this one year (ish) anniversary, and since I'm being lazy and self indulgent, I feel like sharing my PONY SECRET ORIGIN (again, caps lock). Or something.
So yeah, Many months ago, Blueshift randomly linked me to the bit in 'Bridle Gossip' in which Fluttershy was rockin' the dude-voice. And it was hilarious. So hilarious, that I wound up watching the whole episode thereafter. And, uh, it really spiraled out of control from there.
Fast forward a couple of months, and I found myself mostly alone, teaching English in South Korea. I'm glad I did it, but it was still kind of a lonely experience. I'd been watching PONY for a bit at that point. Early on, I realized 'hey, Applejack's named after booze!' I then realized, 'Hey, Moonshine would be a great PONY name, wouldn't it?' So on one quiet night I sat down in front of my laptop and hammered out some cheap gags. Because why not?
And that's where 'What do You Do With a Drunken Unicorn?' came from. 'Learning Curves' followed soon therafter, as I found myself drawn into the phenomenon of 'shipping,' for better or worse. But really, that's another matter entirely!
Really, I imagined this post as being longer than what it is. Ah well! I'll share other juicy 'behind the scenes' tidbits via this blog, so keep watching! Or, well, reading. You get the idea.
Posey doesn't rock the dude voice, that's Flutte​rshy's job
Attention Internet citizens:
PONY
That is all.
