I'm told there were some minor number boosts for people and stories I recommended the first time around. Maybe they were anomalies... but maybe I actually accomplished something. Just in case it's the latter, let's try this again.
Quantum Mechanics by Just Horsing Around - My Little Pony plus Monty Python plus Terry Pratchett plus H.P. Lovecraft equals hilarious.
Based on a True Story! by Darth Wedgius - Speaking of which, being hilarious is all that prevented me from raising a lot of hell about this story. The writer is guilty of several offenses of "Dammit, I wish I had thought of that first!" Funny sonofabitch.
Celestia and the Chocolate Factory by CartsBeforeHorses - Gene Wilder is best pony.
Friend by Martian - We're changing gears now, from funny to just heart-stoppingly beautiful. Even if you ignore everything else I'm writing, please read this; it's a textbook example of short and sweet. If you like it, I also think you should take a look at the imagery in Autumn's End and Dance. This writer truly has a way with words.
The way she used to be by Dusty Sage - Another beautiful story, one about a lifetime of love and longing. Sweet little Twist deserves more long-term tales of romance, I think.
The collected works of Bookish Delight - I know I said so last time; I'm sorry, but I really must insist.
Twist (group) - Honestly, Twist needs more love in general. Go join, won't you?
Cheerilee is Best Pony (group) - She's everypony's favorite teacher, and yet she also gets overlooked pretty often. Go show her how much you appreciate her. (You like that group banner? I do. I may be biased, though.)
House of D'aww (group) - As mentioned before, this is a fairly new group, and it's all about one of the most important elements of MLP: cuteness. Get your minimum daily requirement of cuteness and help the collection grow.
Heartwarming (group) - The group above is important to your health; equally as important is this group, where the sharpshooting admins will get you right in the feels every time. (They use armor-piercing fanfics, too.)
So there's another Arecibo Message from me. If you can read this, go read some of that.
I think you might become famous on this site for doing this. I can tell that there are a lot of authors and group admins who are extremely grateful for people like you.

You, sir, must have a very loose definition of the word "famous".
...when we're awake, anyway.
(Gosh those submissions are piling up... I should talk to the others about that.)

Might I suggest installing a hook by the door and hanging an Official Poking Stick from it?
"Hey. <poke> Hey, you. <poke> Wake up. <poke> Make me feel pony feelings."
As for the submissions to Heartwarming, I know I'm responsible for a chunk of those, but I'm not going to apologize. Yeah. You heard me. I'm a rebel. I submit other people's stories to groups all the time, and you can't stop me. I'm gonna keep going against the system.
1387202 I, I want to see that in a story somehow. Like, character breaking the fourth wall and poking the writer as though they'd fallen asleep. If only that were easy to do well. I don't know, maybe somepony will make Pinkie Pie do it. Or, maybe I've just not looked in the right places.
Thanks for the recommendation, man!
