    Add IsABell to potential background pony name list.

    Reboot in process

    I'm still missing some minor functions, such as money but life hasn't killed me yet.
    Sure it threw a car at me, but like 2000 pounds of metal traveling at any given speed isn't going to take me out.

    Of course, it would poetic for a car to come through my wall any second now...

    No, I'm still good.

    Need some help

    This is kind of funny. I'm looking for some harder to find shipping pairs.
    I mean, it's easy enough to find Rarity/Applejack stuff, and Twilight/Fluttershy isn't impossible to locate. But it's really hard to find good Pinkie/Celestia stuff.

    I'll probably complete the full cycle later and go looking for Dash/Gilda or Sweetie/Luna too...

    Remember back when I started hating Trixie fics?

    It was on my queue in big letters, it stopped me from reviewing for like... two or three weeks?
    This was the reason why.

    And no, it's not mine. You know how sometimes I'll say "I went and told my roommate that idea, and once the vomiting stopped-" or something to that effect?

    Public Relations Attempts

    People only pay attention to art.

    Ergo, to get people to understand that pre-readers are actual human beings, not unlike themselves, we need some sort of regularly updating fan comic about the people who guard the gates of Olympus.
    Or in this case, three or four posts a day at EqD. People see it as the same thing either way really.

Besides - who doesn't like the odd spot of VinylTavia or FlutterMac? · 12:01am Apr 12th, 2012

Oh oh! Me!

What? Building to relationships is what shipping is about. Stuffing FlutterMac or VinylTavia or Mayor/GrannySmith in another tangentially related story is annoying.
Then if you're playing the "Pair the Spares" card on top of it, you as a writer risk me as a reader starting quite possibly the greatest flame war of all time over it.

If only FiMFiction had a reblog option.

I wish more people realised this... don't add a relationship unless it serves the plot or bolter character development, dammit. Even then, remember what the focus of the story is.
