Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

    Retrospective Review: Strong Seconds

    Not an episode review this time.

    PresentPerfect writes about the "Applejack Problem", that a character with everything figured out becomes too boring. Her cutie mark is literally deciding she wants to stay home.

    Retrospective Review: Putting Your Hoof Down and It's About Time

    S2E19 Putting Your Hoof Down

    Watching this episode as part of the whole series is jarring. You have episode after episode of ponies being kind and friendly, then a whole bunch of rude ponies all at once.

    I hate Angel Bunny in this episode. I want to turn him into hasenpfeffer.

    I'd like to know why there just happens to be a hedge maze somewhere near Ponyville.

    Retrospective Review: Hearts and Hooves Day and A Friend in Deed

    S2E17 Hearts and Hooves Day

    The writers have chosen, once again, to feature a holiday or celebration in this episode. Arguably, this is the seventh time (Summer Sun Celebration, Winter Wrap Up, Running of the Leaves, Grand Galloping Gala, Nightmare Night, Hearth's Warming, Hearts and Hooves Day), and the third time directly referencing a major American holiday.

    Retrospective Review: Baby Cakes and The Last Roundup

    S2E13 Baby Cakes

    So this was an episode that came completely out of the blue. There was no indication of Cup Cake being pregnant, let alone with twins. I'm assuming there was a toy involved.

    "That makes sense, right?" Sure, but if you're a pegasus stallion with a beige coat or a unicorn stallion with a yellow coat, I wouldn't recommend dining at Sugarcube Corner.

Revenge on the IRS · 5:38am Apr 11th, 2017

After writing a large check to the IRS, I'm going to respond by writing a story sending an IRS agent to Equestria.

That actually does happen in the next story I'll be submitting, though it was planned long before I filled out my tax forms. It's a short story using the characters from my ongoing series of HiE stories.

And since Tax Day is almost here, I'll submit the story on April 18 (when taxes in the U.S. are actually due this year, since April 15 is a Saturday).

I've been writing the follow-up to this story as well, The Best Man, with an unsuspecting human being part of a wedding party in Equestria.

I also have a story in the works, involving some adorable critters.

Might I suggest the classical hydras and manticores? Perhaps even a tug of war between them. :pinkiehappy:
