HOW TO WRITE A VALENTINES DAY SHIPFIC ABOUT RAINBOW DASH

"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry.

"Given the scientific fact that you are BEST AT PONIES, please, tell us, how do you write a shipfic? I know we asked you once before but honestly shipping is what drives a significant chunk of this website. So tell us MORE ENLIGHTENED SECRETS, on this Hallmark-inspired holiday. Oh and can you make it about Rainbow Dash shipping 'cause she's super popular and therefore the subject of a good 40 percent of the shippings?"

WELL LET ME TELL YOU

Step 1: Drink drinks. ROMANCE drinks. Which, well, usually means red wine, but various fancy beers or cocktails will do. Basically, drink something that doesn't come out of a boot, and you have a good start.

Step 2:

Watch this.

(Turn your volume to maximum).

Step 3:

I mean, honestly, the rest should be obvious.

Just don't ship Rainbow with Applejack, however. Rarity will get jealous.

Can I ship Dash with the boot as long as I don't drink out of it?

That song did not do much for me.

I am somehow inspired to write "The Rainbow Dash ShipShitfic!"

This can only end in mental trauma...

What if I ship all three of them with each other? Three might be a crowd but it's also very fun. ^_^

Well friend, here's the thing. "I Love You OK" is, in fact, a cover.

Have some of that original source.
