An Update on My Current Status · 7:45am Oct 2nd, 2012
For the fans of "The Perfect Little Village of Ponyville":
The Pinkie Pie sequel is nearly finished, but I've run up against a little flaw, specifically a plot hole in the earlier story that nobody's spotted yet: How did Twilight know about Pinkamena to put her in the dream? Since I'm writing a story about Pinkie Pie's dream, that sort of came up. I tried to brush it away with a statement that it happened offstage, but eventually it became really important, so now I'm forced to write the story of how Twilight met Pinkamena.
I'd really love to just point at a story somebody else wrote and say, "This story is now officially fanon to my stories," but I haven't found a story I like that does that,so it looks like I'm stuck writing, and you're stuck with a prerequisite.
Sorry.
For the fans of "The Best of All Possible Worlds" (IC):
I wanted to translate another chapter this weekend, I really did, but I was kidnapped by Pinkie Pie and forced to translate her "Laughter Manifesto".
And yes, the embargo is still in place, so there should have been no physical way for her to do that.
Stupid reality-warping pony...expect to find it next to your beds when you wake up tomorrow morning.
I can live with a new chapter of TBaPW tomorrow. Really I could.
In "Party of One" Twilight sees Pinkamena for a minute or so. I'm sure she asked Dash for details about it at some point. That and I'm sure she's had Pinkamena relapses at some point in time. That would be MAJOR gossip for a small town like Ponyville
Perhaps Pinkie told Twilight about her Cutiemark story, and Twilight ran with the idea of Pinkie growing up in a dull, dreary place. And the mane? well, like KMCA said, she did see Pinkamena for a few moments.

True, but it never comes up in any of my previous stories. I've got one scene where Pinkie Pie drops a hint as to Pinkamena's existence to Vinyl Scratch in a private conversation, but Vinyl (stubborn self-centered mare that she is) utterly fails to pick up on it.
Besides, if those ponies were so intent on digging up each others' deep dark secrets, they surely would have uncovered Fluttershy's by now. Because you know she's got one. (

No, I need Twilight and Pinkamena to be friends entirely separately from Twilight and Pinkie Pie. I've got the scenario all thought out and everything.
397072 We know what that is too... she has tail extensions, lol.
I haven't gotten to your other stories yet. It's going to take awhile, I've got too many stories on my plate right now... and too much work as well
having reread the story, it seems to fit perfectly fine when it comes to Pinkamena. - Twilight has heard her story (and we do not know how descriptive that story was, since good deals of the description were replaced with animation, ofc), in any case Twilight knows about pinkie's supposed past (which also might not be true, it's Pinkie who told the story after all).
She has also seen Pinkie with flat hair while feeling abandoned / being in a horrid mood.
Therefor going with calling her Pinkamena, as is her name in her given backstory and having her have flat hair, seems like a reasonable thing for Twilight to do in her narrative of this alternative Equestria.
... I guess I'm missing something though - mind explaining what? :)

Find what next to my bed? The Laughing Manifesto or Pinkie Pie?
You do realize that we all fully expect you to write the Laughter Manifesto now, right?
It's also worth noting that pinkie pie has weird reality warping powers when not in a dream. Twilight might not have known a thing about pinkimania, she just showed up because pinkie was .... elsewhere.

The Laughter Manifesto:
"All work and no play makes Pinkie a dull pony."
Repeat 10^87 times. Now that you've opened the book, it's also written on your face, the walls, every oxygen molecule in the air...

I still expect you to write it. The real thing has minor variations in kerning and capitalization, so don't skimp on the details!
Seriously though, I actually kinda want to see what you'd come up with for that, hah.

I'm calling it "10 Seconds to Midnight".
Why does everybody think Pinkamena was some state secret? She went to her birthday party with flat hair. She didn't re-bubbly until after she was there and surrounded by her friends.
