//------------------------------// // Romance, Jokes, and Stories // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// @all: Good morning, I have a small announcement to make. We've updated the catalogue and search system. How apart from browsing and searching, you'll be able to view the trending stories (based on views and interest). After some debate it was decided not to have the same for authors since that might create bias, plus you can always follow your favourite wordsmiths. Furthermore, we have removed the top rated story functionality, with only Lyra's selection remaining on site (and even that not on the front page). I am aware that some of you might be disappointed, but we've found that the symptoms of stat driven decisions were there and that would only diminish the overall quality of stories. Hopefully, things get back to being more focused on quality and less on competition. Thank you for your time. The TechNightling You know that's best after a long day of school and work (I'm looking at you, @DaBoss!)? Finding that two of your favorite stories have updated! What's even better is that two just as magnificent pieces have appeared! @Brush, you've outdone yourself with the latest The Human and I Not only is it wonderfully written, but it seems like they'll finally get together at last! Knowing you, though, you'll just getting ready to break my heart again :P @Simile: Strong as ever! ;) If it were any other fic I'd skip it because it's so damn dark, but you manage to keep my attention. I'm still not sure whether it's a pure adventure or something different, I just know I love it :) @Jade: You strike again, and with a romantic comedy at that! Pickles and Honeycombs is probably the best silly I've read ever! Interesting choice of choosing Danny's cousin (mare, is she a piece of work.) I can't help but wonder if Max inspired you to come up with her. Either way, the first chapter is great. I just hope you keep it up for many more to come (and not end it abruptly). @EndlessHearts: I've no idea who you are, but you certainly know how to know out the air of somepony while reading. (Brush, if you've made an alt account I'll tear your tail off! :P) Also interesting that you chose to start with a school-fic (those are tricky to get right). The tension is incredible! Never thought I'd be so interested in a high school drama centering Molly (and a classmate that has a crush on her.) One question, though, why did you go for a F-F ship? M-M are usually all the rage, and quite easier to write to be honest. In any event, keep it up! :) With that I can safely get back to snoozing before I have to get back to work (night shift today). LyraHands Short is grounded from the site for a while. Just wanted you to know that. I might be a bit inactive for a few days as well. @Jade: thanks for trying to cheer me up, you lovable jerk, but things are a bit complicated. Focus on your studies and see you again next week. MixaMax RRBB's message has been deleted. @MixaMax: My bad, but I'm still coming to visit! And, unless Short is really sick, I intend to talk to her. If she actually is unwell, you can at least send her hugs from me! RRBB @RRBB: You know the rules. For punishment you get to approve this week's poetry submissions! LightSparkle @LightSparkle: You're evil. Have you even read that? I feel that Jade might have spoiled me with his occasional poems, but this week is... the submissions are in heavy need of guidance. @LyraHands: I wanted to write such a story! That said, I admire Endless' efforts and execution. Oh, and I love the characters so much! It sort of reminds me of the time we were fillies. Not that I had such thoughts or anything, mind you. I was strictly focusing on my studies even in the later years. DarkSparkle @DarkSparkle: We know. And look at you now: 100% single and possibly naive. :P TrueSparkle @TrueSparkle: Points there! :) Such a massive burn! Celestia herself will be proud. @DarkSparkle: yeah, when will you choose somepony of the site? Just look how many have scored so far! Just stop being picky and go for it, okay? If you're in trouble, I can also find you some cool dudes. LightSparkle If you're in trouble, I can also find you some cool dudes. That's something I'd be interested to see :) Come to think of it, wasn't CEOWitch single? From what I hear he had a quite nice wingspan. ;) InItForTheShipping I have a cousin, I could ask. Not sure Dark is his type, but who knows? Stranger things have happened. RRBB Oh! Oh! WaterBottle's brother is free! SweetStuff @SweetStuff: You did not just go there! :P Now I'll be having nightmares for a week! Although, come to think of it... RRBB Just so you know, CEO isn't the hottest flank in the Bolts. Some of the new recruits show promise, though speed is their thing. Also, not an ounce of stamina. Fleetfoot @Fleetfoot: Look who's talking! I've got twice your stamina. That aside, I'm not just a pretty face. I'm getting enough jokes on base as it is. :/ I earned my wings, same as everypony else. I have to agree, though, sucks to be you, Dark. Better take matters into your own hooves. CEOWitch Do you think Dark got mad? :( TrueSparkle @TrueSparkle: She's probably huffing and puffing in her library. We might have gone a bit far, though. I blame RRBB! LightSparkle I blame Max! RRBB I always blame Max! Buck you, Max! Brush I'll be seeing Dark in a few hours, so I'll ask her ;) DaBoss Whoa! Spam wars are cool, but I gotta say... School Days is the *yay*! Reminds me the time I was in middle school... before I moved to a really trash high school. Got a number of crushes in both, but middle school was better. (Molly wouldn't last a shin my high school, though, even with her magic.) @EndlessHearts: is that written from experience? Feather No. EndlessHearts
