Anniversary Thoughts Are Coming Up · 11:45am Feb 28th, 2015
I'm beginning to think about two upcoming dates.
The first is March 15th, my fourth anniversary as a part of the Brony fandom. Thinking about how to celebrate. This is now the longest I've been an active fan of a cartoon. I'm starting to wonder if Friendship is Magic is going to overtake my longest watched cartoon / anime in number of episodes. Digimon currently has the throne at 155 episodes for the first three seasons. By the time Pony Season 5 is over, it will be at 117.
The second is June 7th, the third anniversary of Letters of a Disgruntled Friendship Student. Hear me out on this one:
For each anniversary, I've taken fan-written letters and responded to them as various members of the story's cast. But the problem is, here, we are fast approaching 300 days without a new episode, sans Rainbow Rocks. There has been no new show content between now and the last set of Anniversary bonus chapters. So I'm wondering if come June, if there will be enough Season 5 content to warrant taking reader submissions again.
If you think we could, let me know. And if not, any ideas for what I could do for Letters' third anniversary this summer?
You could do a Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student on Cupcake Chronicles Learning to Laugh Again?
2837249 I could, but that doesn't seem to be enough. I always like to involve this amazing group of readers I've gathered.
2837257 Maybe you could give something back to your followers like their comments. After reading each chapter of Letters From A Disgruntled Friendship Student I read through the comments. There were some comments which were also linked to each episode as well that were also just as funny as your writing. Maybe for your Anniversary you could featured these comments as your next story post for each episode of Mlp. It would certainly show how much you appreciate your followers
2837261 Just cut and paste comments? No. One of the sole commentators who provided consistent, in-universe replies now has his own story, Responses to a Disgruntled Friendship Student.
2837264 Well, then maybe do a hilarious crossover of the Disgruntled Universe visiting The Actual Friendship is Magic Cannon Universe. It would definitely be hilarious to see how Disgruntled Twilight Sparkle reacts to Actual Cannon Twilight Sparkle.
Why I would suggest this idea is probably because it would be interesting to see how you would write an actual Story/Adventure of The Disgruntled Mane 6 rather than your usual write letters summary of the Episodes.
2837270 Others have suggested this in a number of ways, and even I've thought about it, and while it could be one of the most hilarious things I've written if I pull it off right, to me it just seems like too daunting a project that could go wrong in too many ways.
2837282 Well then I have no idea how to help...
Great now I feel like a burden.
Well all I can say is that a talented writer like you will definitely find a clever and creative idea for your Anniversary Chapter. With over a 1000 devoted followers ready to lend a hoof. Your in good hands Miles.
All the best,
Mix
March 15th is your brony anniversary too? I officialy became a brony in 2012, although I had watched the show some before then, it is when I first came to FF (or something like that) and when I became serious about joining this silly fandom, so I think that's kinda funny
for letters, maybe have the cast react to fanfictions? (either good or bad or clop?)
2837380 He's already done a chapter on Cupcake Chronicles, and he's included references to several other famous and infamous fanfics throughout his chapters.
What about letters to Celestia from the townsponies? Their various complaints about Twilight and co, and insights into how their personalities are different from canon or fanon?
2837399
maybe PC hates tea?
My little Dashie
Sweet Apple Massacre
Rainbow Factory
etc.
you could give Twily a Renamon as a gift.
she gets furbait, the others get some time away from her...maybe.
A new ideas for Ltadfs, huh? (Also, that short-version looks weird to me
)
How about...
1. Twilight gets hit/ingests/somehow gets into contact with Poison Joke and suddenly has no interest in sex.
After coming down from it she starts a nation-wide search-and-destroy mission to rid the pony-world
from every last shred of it. All her friends try to keep some on hoof/claw to catch a break or two and
even bribe Discord (or whoever made it) to make more).
2. Maybe some chapter on Stockholm Syndrome with Twilight capturing a royal guard and wearing him
out until he suddenly likes it upon which Twilight loses interest? Or something to that tone at least...
3. How about some kind of 'evil group of idiots' scenario which consists of certain enemies of Twilight (even
if she doesn't know about it) and her lifestyle who all try to overthrow her? And their biggest ideas
amount to 'deny Twilight whatever powers her up so much' which turns into randomly disappearing
foods, sex-partners and what-not and Twilight barely cares anyway?
These just popped into my head. Of course they might be kind of hard to write in a letter-based form but I have the utmost belief that you can do it.
