    If

    Sometimes, I make the mistake of looking at my stories here and their comment sections, and I get that old itch to make pony stuff again. I had a lot of fun doing it, after all, and I do love to entertain. I still have a lot of trouble getting any creative work done, of course. I haven't even had any real interest in it for quite a while, now. But even beyond that... well...

    A Collab Relic

    A few years back, Samey90 and I started writing a story. A story about a little group of young pony friends hanging out at a lake. We did most of the writing on it, but it kinda fell by the wayside. I drifted away from ponies and retired, and it looked as though the fic might never see the light of day. But now, that story has finally been

    A Surprise Shadowbolts Story

    Do you like the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts? Do you like stories with romance in them? Do you like a grittier and more realistic (and cynical) take on Equestria Girls? Then you might want to have a look at the story below the break. I think you'll like what you find.

    And no, it's definitely not the Shadowbolts Adventures series, if that's what you guessed by who's doing this promotion.

    The New Fimfic

    Is it April again already? Because this new site update is a joke.

    Edit: Okay, it's not a complete joke. There's actually a lot of good stuff in this new update. Bugfixes and cool stuff galore. Buuuut there are also some not-so-good changes, and the flood of new code seems to have broken... everything, at one point or another.

Spoiler Alert: talking about the latest episode (number nine) below.



"Two words for you: spoon clothes. All our clothes will be made of spoons!"

Hasbro, may we have a word with you?

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, nothing more.

I wouldn't worry, I don't think the MLP Staff are allowed to read fanfics anyway. Then again, there probably is fanart of the story so...

Wasn't just me then...

My jaw dropped the instant that fuzzy-brow annoying little cutie uttered those most brilliant words out of her cartoon pony mouth. I can only hope one day we get some sort of Spooner-like episode this season in some fashion.

This was made some time back: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/160783/the-silver-spooner#comment/4340165

Also, as FOX has proven most recently about writers not allowed to steal other people's intellectual properties and then claim them as their own with the latest Family Guy and a certain YOUTUBE NES video, you can take ideas from anywhere so long as no one knows you did. Long time ago already the staff has admitted to reading story descriptions, they ARE aware of the fanfics we write. Something also most evident in episodes that tackled near all fanfic troups about the CMC and what would happen if they got their cutie marks. Not the best example but the show has a lot of too close to be mere coincidences in the last couple seasons and this latest one especially.

Not saying they read the story, or that the picture influenced a line in the story much like some imply a two year old comic inspired that Pinkie Pie scene, that scene was just a smart callback after all. Boots knows this well, he merely made this post in jest. However, they are told they can't read stories yet they are aware of the stories people write? Hmm. I can't prove these anymore due to too many dead links, but never trust capany at face value.

3962705 Well, to be fair quite a bit of some of the fan headcanons and stuff like that could be found on fanart sites or just overheard at conventions. And I figured out the post was made in jest soon after I posted my comment.
