Girls and guys, a big sorry from me.
After my taur post Dark rushed to my place, nearly broke the door down then gave me an earful about proper behavior online. (Took me a box of ice cream to calm her down.) Looking back at things, I see I went a bit too far.
So, everyone, let's chill and keep the lewd jokes for more serious times (and the non-general section of the site). Seeing Dark cry is no fun.
Your ever pesky
LightSparkle
Gees! I didn't know we hit that hard :( Sorry, Dark. Guess my nickname is there for a reason. Seriously, I was just kidding. I know that posting it after coming out might have sent the wrong message, so I just want to be ultra clear: I'm really not interested you (or anypony else on the site) in that way. Stars know I get enough trash about at school already. :(
I guess I'll go back to writing and rejecting fics.
Okay, so when I say rag your stories adequately, I don't mean add every bucking tag under the sun just in case! If someone winks at someone else that's not romance! If someone fights with someone else for five paragraphs that's not a tragedy!
@LyraHands, @CodeFilly, @The TechNightling, @MightyDragon: Maybe we could have a revision of the tagging system? As it is now it's pretty much useless.
RRBB
@LightSparkle: Yes, we were too mean to dear Dark. Also, glad to hear you're doing better. Im curious to see your writing, though. Something tells me I might be surprised. :)
@DarkSparkle: Huge sorry, *hugs and bumps* :) You need to relax a bit more, though. (Already you've improved significantly than before.)
InItForTheShipping
@LightSparkle: I honestly can't remember where I knew you from? I already asked everypony from my class, so can't... wait a minute! Mini, is that you? If you're pulling another prank on me I'll stick an orange on your horn, then buck a beehive off a tree!
@DarkSparkle: As somepony who's already caused you to quit once, I can say I didn't mean anything I said, and I don't want you to go again. Also, if anypony's mean towards you just send them my way!
MixaMax
@MixaMax: it's statements like those that drive me crazy!
orange on your horn, then buck a beehive off a tree!
What do bees have to do with oranges? I know I have been gone for a thousand years, but the natural world can't have changed that much? If there's some new type of bee I'd love to hear more about it.
somepony who's already caused you to quit once, I can say I didn't mean anything I said
And you just said that you were lying when you apologies to her. Good job, Max. Really.
All joking aside, I'd like to point out two things: First, as much as I like to correct Max, she knows what she's talking about and I know for a fact that she can annihilate anypony who's maliciously mean. If any any point you feel stressed with anything, I'm always here so send me a PM.
Second... Oh dear. I know a lot of you have been inspired by the the series, or the site, or the smash song by SweetStuff (do you know they're running your song in dance clubs here? I even heard it in the dorms, although it's strictly forbidden.), however, please try to write logically. Everypony starts from somewhere, but please rely a bit less on emotional impact. I can't tell the amount of stories that are so full of raw emotion that their authors have forsaken grammar altogether. That makes me really sad.
Jade
@Jade: she made me clean up for your visit. Not that I don't do that anyway, but she really wants to impress you.
Can you get me something from the Empire? Just a small gift.
Short&Hoofy
@Jade: I love you, you insufferable pedant :P
MixaMax
@RRBB: It's really nice seeing you like this. Whatever they did to you it must have worked. Oh and don't worry about stuff at school. You know who had a long talk with me about you and all I can say things are doing fine.
Party at SweetStuff's place? Her sis is out of town, so we could have a get together. I know it's not your usual groove, but I think it would be good for you to come. For one thing we'll be talking MCE, with everypony either on the site or secretly reading.
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: I don't know. I really don't think it's the best thing right now. I've been avoiding YouKnowWho and she has me. For the moment that works best.
RRBB
Girls! I'm okay! It's not the end of the world, or anything. It's just that... Maybe I was a bit uncomfortable with the prospect of... Anyway, glad to know you are here for me, as am I for you :)
DarkSparkle
@RRBB: I'll be there if you don't feel comfortable.
Short&Hoofy
@RRBB: Pleaaaaaase? @.@
@Jade: eeeek! *blush* It really is nothing much. Although, I'm working on something new with PaintDrop and a few other friends.
SweetStuff
Sorry, I really don't feel like it. Next time.
RRBB
@InItForTheShipping: Second chapter of Daggers is up. Any chance of me coming to discuss better writing emotions? I travel pretty often, so just tell me where you are and I'll be there.
Simile
@Short&Hoofy: sure, just PM me what you want.
Jade
@Simile: With pleasure :) Unfortunately, I'm not as free as I once was. I travel pretty much myself, though for the most part I'm in the capital of the Crystal Empire. Will you passing through there anytime soon?
InItForTheShipping
@InItForTheShipping: Difficult. :( Any chance you can get to Manehattan? I'll be there for the next two weeks.
Simile
@Simile: Sadly no. :( We can still do it through PMs, though. Would that work?
InItForTheShipping
@InItForTheShipping: That works.
Simile
My rehearsal is tomorrow evening! Wish me luck, everypony!
Edit: Locking thread to avoid spam.
Edit2: Light & Dark, you crack me up :)
