//------------------------------// // A Salty Human // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Yo, Nightlings! MightyDragon told me there was a lack of active stallion presence, so I'm here to fix that. :) Now, before you ask, I have been a long time lurker here, even if I never had an account, and also I, a huge fan of Midnight Castle! (I even have a signed first edition scroll of the original series. :)) I just have to say I love your fanfics! The are so much better than those I was exposed to as a colt. The strangest part is that some of the best male characterizations have been written by mares (even if Jade is still way ahead). I wish I could write as well. Instead I can only draw. Here's a fanart of my favorite character: [shadowbill.agf] I'm working on a few others of the same quality I'll post soonish. Also, please don't hate, this isn't my day job :) SaltyHuman @SaltyHuman: Each time I see that name I can only think of the song. You did this on purpose, didn't you? :P Good to have you here, boss! Together we shall take over the site! (@CodeFilly: I can, right sweetly?) MightyDragon @SaltyHuman: Wow! That's really good! Yeh style is very different from PaintDrop’s and the other artists on the site, but it's really something! I don't know what you do, but you should be in arts! :) Looking at this, I want to write my silly story (about me going to the human world and forming a music band). Would you do some art for that if I do? I was hoping to save a few bits for CrystalCon, but… *sigh*) SweetStuff @SaltyHuman: That's Berserker Bill, isn't it? Chapter five, when he is about to enter the cave. I never knew I had a fan ;) It's greatly appreciated. :D Simile @SweetStuff: you're too sweet :) Not a problem, just keep in mind my speed isn't very…l speedy. As I said, this isn't my day job. @Simile: you are my favorite author! I'm actually having a fancolt moment right now! I didn't expect you'd respond to me! Really love your stories :) (And must say they have improved a lot since your visit to InItForTheShipping.) The latest two chapters especially are out of this (and any other) world! How did you manage to get so good? SaltyHuman Well, let's say that I've received a lot of help and stimulation :) And of course I'll respond. I respond to all my fans (sometimes I'm just slow). Simile That is good art! Also thank you for getting SweetStuff to finally sit on her fat ass and start writing! I’ve been trying to get her too for ages, but she always finds some excuse. @SweetStuff: how did the recording session with Octavia go? A little bird told me she was impressed :) LightSparkle Impressed was an understatement :) SweetStuff has the markings of a teen idol. Hi, all. I'm back yet again. Before you all swamp with with questions, things went as well as expected back home. Let's leave it at that. Now, going back to important stuff, welcome to the site, Salty :) I'm really impressed that MightyDragon managed to drag you here. I know a few members who will be very happy! (And one who is sighing with disapproval as she reads this :P) How come I never knew you were so good at drawing? :/ I'm supposed to know everything! LyraHands @LyraHands: A stallion must have his secrets ;) SaltyHuman I'm surprised that Brush hasn't been all over the site. I guess that CEOWitch is keeping her occupied… (I'm not one to judge, but I still will! :P) Hmm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but seems to me that more stallions in this community are into drawing than writing. Not that I'm complaining, but why is that? :/ @SaltyHuman: also, can you draw me some… interesting pics in your style? O:) RRBB Well, if we're doing suggestive art requests, I might as well request a centaur or two :) DarkSparkle I just… TrueSparkle … LyraHands Hahahahaha! I can't I just can't! @Feather, you'll appreciate this! LightSparkle *yay* you, *yay*! I'm busy. What's up? Edited: @LightSparkle: I'm blaming you. I laughed so hard my cat jumped off the branch! (He's fine, by the way.) Feather What? :/ I don't get it. Is this about my taur fancy again? :I Well, let me tell you one thing. I don't care! I'm a fully grown adult and I feel no shame in finding centaurs fascinating! Did you even consider they are the closest thing we have to humans? So don't you try and mock me. It’s really getting old. DarkSparkle @DarkSparkle: Do you know who Salty is? Jade @Jade: Should it matter? :/ I'm quite comfortable talking about this with anypony! Again, there's absolutely no reason for me to feel ashamed. As long as things don't go too far I'm in my right to enjoy what I enjoy and talk to others about it (unless they specifically feel uncomfortable, in which case I'd instantly stop, as aetherquette demands. DarkSparkle I'm quite comfortable talking about this with anypony! Really? Well, then… Celestia @DarkSparkle: Umm, Salty is MightyDragon’s boss. Or if you want to be technical about it, he's the father of MightyDragon’s boss. LyraHands @DarkSparkle: Hey, sis. I guess I could, but not sure how mom and dad will react to this. Actually, I'll just ask them. They'll be visiting the day after tomorrow to see Flurry, so this will be the perfect time. After all you ARE okay with discussing this with anypony? :P SaltyHuman DarkSparkle comment has been deleted. DarkSparkle comment has been deleted. DarkSparkle comment has been deleted. DarkSparkle comment has been deleted. DarkSparkle comment has been deleted. @DarkSparkle: hey, nothing bad has happened. Just breathe, okay? Sorry if we were mean to you. It was just too good to miss. Okay? LightSparkle Sis, are you okay? It's just a joke. SaltyHuman Yep, she fainted again. After hyperventilating. Never a dull moment with this site. :/ I'll take care of things on my end. You better send her some very good PMs, all of you! TrueSparkle Wow, boss. First day on the site and mares are fainting already… Or maybe I'll just shut up. MightyDragon @SaltyHuman: Good afternoon, I was preparing to write a long post welcoming you to the site, but I see you've already gotten a taste of things. Nonetheless, let me say it's a pleasure to have you. Your skill I'm drawing is nothing short of exceptional, and definitely unique. I can only hope you won't waste it on some of the…more peculiar requests you’ll undoubtedly get. Have fun, and remember to keep an eye on the rules. The TechNightling
