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.

Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo · 2:19am Apr 26th, 2018

Not an actual competition this time, but I wrote a story for the Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo, where each participant was given the name of another participant, and asked to make a story based on one of their stories. I was pleasantly surprised to see my submission make the feature box. You might say it was... no joke.

Even better, the person who drew my name was the person who has probably read the most of my stories, FanOfMostEverything. (To be fair, the person who has probably read the most of anyone's stories is likely FanOfMostEverything.) I got a number of new visitors to Applejack, I Can Explain! thanks to his excellent take on my story. If you haven't yet, go and read Heir A-pear-ent!

Pretty sure you'd win the non-competition based on popular vote.

In any case, glad you enjoyed my more serious spin on your goofy bit of accidental prophecy. :twilightsmile:
