A Story from Crystal Mountain Ponycon 2016: The Fail At The Panel · 11:34pm Dec 14th, 2016
Two of my favorite YouTubers ever are Magpiepony and Silver Quill.
I had to do a panel during Magpiepony's Pinkie Tales Panel, so I only caught the ending of Goldichoas and The Three Princesses. I also heard her talk about some future Pinkie Tales like "The Little Mermare". At the end, I asked for her autograph. She didn't have a pen anywhere, but Lost Narrator had a sharpie! Thank goodness for that because I still have her autograph.
After lunch, I was able to attend Silver Quill's panel with no interruptions or complications. However, here's where the fail came in. Silver Quill asked, "Who came here because they want to start doing reviews themselves?" Many raised their hands. "Who came here because they're wondering how the heck he does those videos?" Others raised their hands. "Who came here because they're bored and had nothing else to do?" I raised my hand as a joke. Of course, I came there because I was such a huge fan and wondered how he edited his videos. Although, he was like, "Oh, really? Well, you can just get the fudge out." I didn't know if he was being serious or not, so I sat there with this awkward smile pasted on my face like What the heck do I do now?. Then he said, "Just kidding. We're glad you're here." Relief filled my heart.
Silver Quill is so funny, though! Even when he's not doing videos. His audience laughed... um... maybe a little more than a few times.
