50 questions? Why not :) · 4:20pm Apr 29th, 2014
Saw this elsewhere on the site and figured why not? I've made a lot of new friends here recently, this seemed like a safe and easy way to tell a bit about myself.
1. What's your name?
- Chris
2. How old are you?
- 25
3. What country do you live in?
- USA
4. What do you look like?
-This is all you’re getting
5. Who do you wish you looked like?
-I prefer the way I look actually
6. How did you come across MLP?
-I initially scoffed at it like I did the older versions of the cartoon. Then I heard it was made by a lot of the same people who worked on some of my FAVORITE childhood cartoons like Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack. So I watched a few episodes. It’s a great well put together cartoon. It has great animation, 6 main characters who are all heavily conflicting female personality types (leading to lulz), well timed gags, and common well thought out morals. Hard to find that in a cartoon these days.)
7. Favorite ship and why?
- Soarindash. Soarin is my favorite male character and Rainbow Dash if my favorite female character so it works out perfectly. I also have a lot of athletic knowledge from being an athlete for 15 years of my life, so I can incorporate a lot of that kind of stuff when I write for them.
8. Least favorite ship?
- To each their own. I have no problem with any ships as long as it can be cute. (I tend to prefer straight shipping though.)
9. Have you admitted to everyone you love ponies?
-Never more than an explanation as to why it’s so popular. (See number 6)
10. Were they family?
-Yes
11. Favorite episode?
- Power Ponies and Rainbow Falls
12. Favorite super hero?

21. What is your ideal future job?

22. Dream Job?

23. What is you greatest achievement so far in life?
- Being the first male track sprinter from my college to make it to Division 3 NCAA nationals in the 200 meter dash since 1964.
24. Greatest failure?
- That same year, prior to nationals I placed second in the 200 meter Dash at conference, losing to the runner in first by only .02 seconds. (This was the race that got me into nationals, but that was the only chance I ever had to get a gold medal in our conference and I just barely missed it.)
25. Do you have pets?
- No
26. What's your dream pet?

35. Do you have a crush?
- no need
36. Care to explain?
- *AHYUCK*
37. Do you consider yourself attractive?
- Can anyone answer this question honestly? You either are too modest or too generous, there’s no balance. (but I guess an answer? I’ve been TOLD I’m attractive.)
38. If you could hang with any living person?
- Very obscure, but there is a 100 year old man that still comes to my gym. Every once in a while I see a few old guys gather (Mind you these men are like 65-70 but this guy is THIRTY YEARS OLDER THAN THEM.) And they ask him about stuff. I’ve heard this 100 year old man tell stories about how his grandpa fought in the CIVIL WAR. So when my brain was done exploding I sat nearby and listened to this guy talk about stories his grandfather used to tell him about stuff that happened in freaking 1861 to 1865. I would LOVE to sit down with this guy for a while and just listen to him talk about his life because he LIVED through a lot of things I learned about in history class.
39. Favorite pony?
- Soarin
40. Any embarrassing secrets?
- I still sleep with a stuffed dog I received for my first birthday.
41. If you have done any art or writing, what are you most proud of?
- I wrote a 300 page fantasy novel for my final project my senior year of college. I think I can write better now than I did then, but I have my own paperback copy of it so it feels kinda awesome.

- Nope
43. Craziest thing you've done with no regrets?
-driving 16 hours in one go from Wisconsin to new York to visit my girlfriend for two days.
44. Craziest thing you've done that you do regret?
- Belly flopped off a diving board. I don’t care how much you were bet, NEVER DO IT.
45. Do you have a fetish?
- I like buff girls. When I say this I don’t mean like the steroid pumped monsters you see in female body building competitions. Think athlete. I like women who are femininly muscular.
46. Do you regret saying this fetish?
- No because I was an athlete. I like athlete girls. Nothing to be ashamed of.
47. Favorite FIM stories?
- honestly couldn’t say, but I will credit LOYALTY as my initial inspiration to write my own Soarindash fics.
48. Favorite quote?
- Success is not final, Failure is not fatal: It’s the courage to continue that counts. –Winston Churchill
49. Have you ever hurt someone just to hurt them?
- Never.
50. Did you answer these questions honestly?
- Yes.
Just figured i'd share :)
Holy fuck.... your arm is like... both of mine and then some! Hell, I think it's probably bigger than my thighs!!
Hmm... I might have to do this now.
Maybe I should do one of these.:ajunsure: but wow dude, when you said you were athletic you weren't kidding. And why are everybody's favorite songs from bands I've never heard of?
2060634
i work out
2060641
Propane nightmares is a 1 hit wonder. Awesome song though.
Land of Confusion is an old great song my dad used to play all the time. Disturbed (a heavy rock band) did a GREAT cover of it.
And yeah haha, now you know how i got so technical with the workout and nutrition stuff Soarin shared with Dash
I need to do this or I'm going to end up doing it in chat or something
Dang now I feel uncomfortable. Why do I always imagine my favorite authors in an unintimidating and innocent light? XD I mean come on man that arm...
2061611
haha i get that a lot unfortunately.
hell, people are afraid to sit next to me on busses and airplanes
i'm not a violent person by any means, hell i like little fluffy animals, i write fantasy novels and here i am writing fanfiction for MY LITTLE PONY.
I just like to work out
At least now I have ammunition for haters >:D
Also how do I use the faces? I can't figure it out.
2061679
just click on one in the menu beside the comment box
Can you add them from a phone?
2061723
ah i think that's why. I don't think the mobile version has them. There are text inputs you can use to add them, but i don't know what they are
Testing something
Ha! I just have to type it in manually
2061661 Aww, lol, and dude, you're WAAAAAAY older than me. O_O
This explains Dash's and Soar's detailed workouts...
And you have a CLAYMORE?!? That's freakin' amazing! Question: can you use it effectively?
Stay Awesome
RDD
2062884 i wish i could haha
It's like swinging a whole tree around. I can lift and move it freely, but if i swing it i'm going whichever direction it's going haha.
2062916 I've been looking at getting a mace myself. (No, not the spray. The freaking flanged metal skull crushers, because why not?). But it's kinda hard to find a good seller. Or even find a mace for that matter.
But that's beside the point. Now that I know you can (semi) effectively use it, no more threatening for a sequel to Flying Sky High. Eep.
Stay Awesome
RDD
2062932
see number 49
That goes for anything.
Hehe, always fun to know who is behind the stories. ;P
I knew you were an athlete and all, but damn! I can't help it, I'm a girl and buff guys is just DAMN! 
When I got to question 4 I was like DAMMMN!
My favorite characters are Rainbow and Soarin too~
And I'm so glad you liked Rainbow Falls, so many people hate it because of stupid reasons. It is my favorite episode in season 4. I honestly don't see what's so wrong with it. I understand Spitfires behavior, I understand why the other ponyville ponies could not participate, etc.. Most importantly it's a god damn SoarinDash episode, amost! I died when I watched it for the first time, Soarin. <3
My dream pet is also a cat!
Don't judge a book by it's cover. It's kinda like Bulk Biceps, he is strong and intimidating for some, but really sweet and a overall great guy.
You sound like such a nice guy.
(Also did you know that Soarin's voice actor is an athlete? Kinda funny don't you think? xD An athlete voices an athlete.)
2063592
haha thank you
Yeah i really disliked how they depicted spitfire and fleetfoot in rainbow falls, especially after how i had been writing them. But the scene with Soarin and Dash talking in the hospital?
i was like HEY! i wrote something like this! plus Soarin major speaking role = instant favorite episode.
and haha i was waiting for someone to bring up bulk biceps
It really is a little disheartening when people give me looks or avoid me because i have muscles, like i'll beat them up if they look at me wrong or run into me by accident. I've never done ANYTHING to hurt anyone in my life, i melt in the presence of kittens, and im writing PONY fanfiction
LOYALTY was the first fic I ever read!
