Fimfiction Anniversary & Ask Me Anything · 3:00am Jul 3rd, 2015

July 2nd, 2014. Approximately 52 weeks ago. Oh, how time flies...

That was the date when I signed up for an account here on this site. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here over the past year. Whether I was reading stories, looking at blog posts, or browsing group forums, I had plenty of fun. :pinkiesmile:

I'd like to take a moment to talk about how I became a Brony and also how I stumbled across this particular site for pony fanfiction:

How I Became A Brony (just copy/pasted from one of my comments in The Writer's Group)
Basically, I was watchings some random "Top 10" videos on YouTube somewhere around early March of 2014. One of the channels I was browsing through at the time posted a video* concerning the different generations of My Little Pony. I was bored, so I decided to watch the video, then some time later my curiosity got the better of me and I looked up the first episode of Friendship is Magic. Before I knew it, I had already watched 7 or 8 episodes, which is when I realized that I liked the show enough to consider myself a Brony.

*Here's the video:

How I First Stumbled Into Pony Fanfiction
Fimfiction isn't where I first experienced fanfiction for the characters of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Before I delved into the realm of "horsewords" as some call it, I actually managed to (eventually) catch up with the airings of the show, somewhere around late Season Four. After watching an episode, I usually browsed through its TvTropes page before watching the next (although I haven't done that with Season Five...). I found mention of a few fanfictions in one of the pages I ended up link-hopping to. (It's difficult for me not to link-hop when browsing TvTropes. :derpytongue2:) One of those caught my attention, particularly because of just how large it was. If you're interested, I mentioned it in one of the first few blogs I posted here. :trixieshiftright:

Now as for how I came across Fimfiction - While I was reading Alex Warlorn's Pony POV Series (which you can find out a little more about by clicking the above link), he linked to a story that he recommended (I can't quite remember if it was through a journal post or through the description of one of the chapters, but that matter is irrelevant.) If I'm not mistaken, this is the story that led me to Fimfiction.

As you can see by browsing through my "Favorites" bookshelf, I've read quite a bit more since then. Needless to say, I'm pretty much hooked on pony fanfiction. :twilightsmile:


Alright, now that I've said all that, I'm going to end this blog with an
"Ask Me Anything."
Just keep all questions "safe for work," please.

No comments so far? Hm.

Who is the worst character in MLP?

What is the meaning of life?

The worst character... Can I say Aria Blaze and/or Sonata Dusk? :trollestia: (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

On a more serios note, I'm going to say the Flim-Flam Brothers. I just really cannot stand those two. :ajbemused:

The meaning of life... According to Google, when I type in "define: life" this is the top result:

life
noun
1. the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.

2. the existence of an individual human being or animal.

Like above, I couldn't resist. :derpytongue2: In all honesty, I believe that the meaning of life differs from one individual to the next and one has to discover it for themself. At this point in time, I haven't yet discovered what life's meaning is to me...

3202013 Proof that Google in fact knows everything. :S

I also hate them.

Next question.

If one pony were to march up to you right now, who would you rather it be?

Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Comics or Marvel Vs. Capcom?

3202025
Just about. :rainbowlaugh:

3202489
As of this moment in time, I'd rather it be Fluttershy. I have to take care of some animals in the backyard, so her assistance woud be very much appreciated...

3202667
It's been a while since I've played either... For now, I'll say MvC because of Viewtiful Joe, Amaterasu (even though I've never had a chance to play Okami), and Spider-Man. :twistnerd:

3202926 I'd say MVC because:
1. I love Marvel and Capcom.
2. Phoenix FUCKING Wright is playable!

3202966
Somehow, I knew Phoenix Wright would be one of your reasons, but I only played the original Marvel vs. Capcom 3, not the Ultimate version... I'm curious now: Which other two characters are your main picks?

3203070 That depends. Phoenix Wright is a constant, but I'll mix it up. Sometimes it will be Frank West and Doom, other times it'll be Dante and Wesker. Vergil+ Ghost Rider was also handy. I tend to experiment with all of the characters.
