Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

    Retrospective Review: Strong Seconds

    Not an episode review this time.

    PresentPerfect writes about the "Applejack Problem", that a character with everything figured out becomes too boring. Her cutie mark is literally deciding she wants to stay home.

    Retrospective Review: Putting Your Hoof Down and It's About Time

    S2E19 Putting Your Hoof Down

    Watching this episode as part of the whole series is jarring. You have episode after episode of ponies being kind and friendly, then a whole bunch of rude ponies all at once.

    I hate Angel Bunny in this episode. I want to turn him into hasenpfeffer.

    I'd like to know why there just happens to be a hedge maze somewhere near Ponyville.

    Retrospective Review: Hearts and Hooves Day and A Friend in Deed

    S2E17 Hearts and Hooves Day

    The writers have chosen, once again, to feature a holiday or celebration in this episode. Arguably, this is the seventh time (Summer Sun Celebration, Winter Wrap Up, Running of the Leaves, Grand Galloping Gala, Nightmare Night, Hearth's Warming, Hearts and Hooves Day), and the third time directly referencing a major American holiday.

    Retrospective Review: Baby Cakes and The Last Roundup

    S2E13 Baby Cakes

    So this was an episode that came completely out of the blue. There was no indication of Cup Cake being pregnant, let alone with twins. I'm assuming there was a toy involved.

    "That makes sense, right?" Sure, but if you're a pegasus stallion with a beige coat or a unicorn stallion with a yellow coat, I wouldn't recommend dining at Sugarcube Corner.

Cutie Mark Crusaders' story is a go! · 3:24pm Jun 15th, 2012

Since I actually like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I decided to write a story featuring them. Naturally, they're trying to earn their cutie marks, but the story revolves around why they haven't discovered their special talents. Anyone who watches The Show Stoppers can guess what they are.

The obvious answer is that deep down, they're happier being the Cutie Mark Crusaders than having their cutie marks. But I think there's more to it than that. So here's a story based around that premise. It also provides the opportunity to create my own theories about cutie marks.

I have no set schedule for updating this story, and only a rough idea of its ultimate length. I submitted the prologue and first chapter to start. The second chapter was added the next day, because it was mostly ready ahead of time. Cheerilee's story was the first thing I wrote. I expect the chapters to be relatively short, as each will focus around one character.

Yah I'm not a fan of the stories where the CMC all get their cutie marks and break apart. While it is very much like real life friendships, it is not something I like to think about. Ur story isn't gonna be sad is it? ooh please let it be a heartwarming story :D

It won't be sad. All I want is to leave the CMCs with a better understanding of themselves.
