An Introduction and Experiment, if anyone cares. · 3:19am May 29th, 2012
What do people say on this stuff? I don't know...
I guess I should start with some basics. I've been a brony since late January 2012. I'm still feeling a bit (sometimes VERY) uncomfortable with this fandom, not because "U A GUY Y U LIK PONYZ?". I'm not a musician, artist, or animator. I don't sing or do voices or sew. I'm an analytical, pragmatic guy at heart. Unsurprisingly this makes it difficult to relate to an inherently creative fanbase like this one, so I find it odd to consider myself part of a fanbase that I didn't really interact with until now. Plus some actions the fandom takes, as well as some staff/fan interactions, bother me. I guess one could say I'm one of those quiet, "sane" bronies that no one pays attention to, those that enjoy the show simply for the joy it brings me and don't go screaming about it to others (but I have my quirks as well, don't we all?).
I do, however, write stories as a hobby. Most of my fanfics to date have centered on Star Trek or Babylon 5. My writing style tends to be very descriptive, some say wordy, and they tend to challenge the way one looks at the world. I'm working on one now, which is why I created this account. When, and if, the story goes through I will occasionally leave a comment for each chapter containing a little song that helped inspire it. Constructive criticism is welcome (particularly with comma usage >_<).
I suppose that takes care of the simple stuff. If you have any other questions for me let me know and I'll see what I can do to answer them.
Just watched Mr. de Lancie's segment on bronies, us, during the Dallas Comic convention. Moving hardly does it justice. After watching it, perhaps I shouldn't be bothered by the fanbase's actions, or the staff/fan interaction and the actions they take. I may not be one of the "original members" of this fanbase from 4chan & the like, but I am, in a way, proud to be a small part of bronies.
Don't stop being good everypony. Look yourself in the mirror with pride
