One Year, Guys! · 3:19pm Apr 3rd, 2015
Yes-a-rooney, it's the anniversary of when I joined FIMfiction!
Yeah, because I had a pony fic and wanted to broaden my horizons beyond Fanfiction.net, I figured that I might as well join this site to get more people to read The Rock Farmer's Daughters. And you know what? It's my most popular of the fics I wrote. I mean, just look at this fanart!
I'll just leave it at five, but goshdarnit fanart gets me so excited!
The second part of this piece involves plugging in my collection of short oneshots written specifically for today, which I have titled Drabble Daze. Using one-word prompts that have been suggested by you guys, I have written drabbles which are supposed to range from 500-1500 words (I know I only said I'd aim for 500 words, but I got a little too writing a couple of pieces and ended up with over 1,000).
I wasn't able to write all of the prompts, but I'll get around to them someday--just have to remember to write prompts involving Twilight, Applejack, the CMC, and Spike, since I've got the Mane Six, CMC, and Spike tags on there. The "other" tag is for characters that aren't main characters, even if they do have their own tag (Cheese Sandwich), and OC... well, I was certain I was going to end up writing one or more of my OCs (and I was right!).
But yeah, I managed to get a few done quickly, despite a trip to the zoo and a sleepover at my cousins' house.
Now, what could I possibly talk about in this third one?
Er... oh, let's talk about party ponies. Or whatever you want to call them, since they don't specifically have to throw parties.
In the Tommyverse, there are five named party ponies:
Ponyacci He's alive in my 'verse, Scoots.
Pinkie Pie
Cheese Sandwich
Bananas (OC)
Comedy Gold (OC)
...there's more of the handful that exist in Equestria, but I'm not going to make up any more any time soon. Just know that they're all earth ponies. Because it's funnier when the seemingly "normal" tribe has the wackiest characters.
I'm planning for all of these ponies to appear in Brotherly Bonding Time at some point. Cheese is obviously one of the main characters and Pinkie already appeared, so we have three left. Hopefully it'll be fun!
'Kay, have a nice day.
Heck yeah, it is.
Happy Fimficversary, Sketch.
Congrats on your anniversary! Obviously, lots of us are awfully glad you decided to come and post your fiction here.
Oh, everyone doesn't have to accept my headcanon. He's alive in the comics, too, apparently.
Also, comedy is in a sense "earthy" and fundamental, so it sort of makes sense for Party Ponies to be generally Earth Ponies. The obvious precedent in canon is Pinkie Pie herself, and Ponyacci in semi-canon.
In my fanon, of course, Pinkie Pie is special in ways beyond being a Party Pony. But there is plenty of room for other Party Ponies to exist.
One logical reason for Party Ponies is that the Ponies are somewhat more naturally social than are humans. They probably generate a very weakly-connected emergent group mind. And any sane mind needs to be able to identify logical incongruities and respond appropriately in order to remain sane.
In short, it needs a sense of humor. Thus, the Party Ponies.
Happy FIMFictionaversary!
Happy fimfictionaversary. I agree with you on the earth ponies mostly likely to be party ponies headcanon.
