//------------------------------// // S.Child Discussion // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// What the *yay*?! Tech did you lock the thread? S.Child! S. *yay* Child made a post! @LyraHands, please tell me this wasn’t some prank! If it is I’ll *yay* someone up! If it’s real… this is insane in all the best ways! Feather @Feather: I know right? We’ve collectively been trying to figure it out. So far it seems legit. Or rather it’s not a confirmed prank. What that means is unclear. Here’s what we know for certain: The account was created specifically for the post and was deleted within a minute of making it. The location is untraceable (LightSparkle is trying a few tricks on her end, but it looks like a long shot). Dark and True are busy taking care of things in Ponyville, but from what we talked they couldn’t come up with any new approach. Tech has tried to do a brute force track, but that will take a few days and is still not a guarantee. Code, Hop, and I are still trying to go through this, with very questionable results. Whoever connected was a mastermind of all types of aether code, or had a team hide their tracks. MightyDragon @Luna, @number1: Can you confirm this isn’t a prank? I’ve been screaming like a little filly ever since I saw the post. Before I could send a PM, he was gone :( Please, oh please tell me this was a thing! It’s like… I’ve heard that only the writers know who S.Child really is! To have him post here is like a dream come true! LyraHands Why are you so sure it’s a he? I know most of are hoping the series is written by a cool stallion (personal taste aside, I’ve also come to associate him with that), but in reality it’s more likely S.Child is a middle aged mare (keeping in mind when the original series came out, she should be.) Make no mistake, I’m glad S.Child posted, no matter who they are. If I could find out who they are exactly I’ll do that. Well, I would if Short wasn’t snuggling me right now asking to keep the mystery. :P Seriously, though. Do we know anything on the matter? RRBB @LyraHands, @RRBB: I’ll have to disappoint you. :) While I personally believe that it is a strong possibility, I cannot confirm for the sole reason that I don’t actually know who S.Child is. And believe me, the writing team don’t know either (or if they do they certainly haven’t told me :/) The only pony who might know is Blueblood and I can’t ask him since he went to spend some time with his girlfriend and left specific instructions not to be disturbed for the next few days. With the recent scares I can’t blame him. Luna I know who S.Child is, but I promised not to tell. Sorry. Looking at the message it sounds by them, though. And they are really cool and open about many things :D @LyraHands: I think now that you’ve graduated maybe I should let you go? The next four months will be a bit stressful and you’ll need your space and free schedule. Also, don’t worry about mood swings ;) DaBoss @DaBoss: I love you and I hate you at the same time! :/ You’ve known all this time and never said a word? Quick tell me in PM! Also, huge thanks for that. I was about to talk to you about going on leave, but I always delayed till later. And now that this happened my parents got involved again, so it’s a bit of a mess. (I’ll be staying in Canterlot for a bit longer. :/) LyraHands I have my suspicions as well, but I’ll keep those to myself ;) Blueblood might have mentioned a while back, but at the time coltfiction as the last things I was interested in. *chuckles* I was so bad that I actually got into the nerdy stuff just to be around cute stallions. It was gradually, and thanks to SaltyHuman (at whom I’d be terribly mad if I wasn’t terrified a few days back) that I developed my own nerd senses. I can guarantee you, though, that S.Child is reading the posts now. (I know I would :) ) InItForTheShipping Well yay me! I joined this site for the luls as well, but now I can’t realistically leave. This is my number one place for entertainment after flying. (Also, AwesomePony is so fun to tease :P ) @ManyFaces, can you base your appearance on suggestions? We can have a poll in which everyone makes speculations what S.Child is and you transform into them. S.Child, I love you, but you gotta admit this will be *yay* hilarious! :D Feather @Feather: Not sure if that’s the best or the worst idea I’ve heard. You’re on a roll lately. :) I’ll probably regret doing this, but with S.Child’s permission I’d love to have a speculation thread at some point. Also, @DaBoss, don’t tell me. This is one of those things I want to learn from the legend themselves. Call me silly and sentimental, but this would mean a lot to me. LyraHands @LyraHands: Talk for yourself :P I plan to keep digging and if I manage to hack my way to Child’s identity I’ll do just that! @Feather: Love your idea! Do it! :P On another note, judging of the Changeling stories is underway. Results are expected in a few days. I guess the prize might now include going on a date with ManyFaces in the form of S.Child (as determined by the Nightling Community). LightSparkle This is so wrong… InItForTheShipping and I will be so into this! :D How do we make the poll, though? @DarkSparkle: Sis, do you have any ideas? You’re usually good at this. SaltyHuman @SaltyHuman: I’ll handle things. Dark has gone through a lot and is resting (from what True told me). Maybe not right away, though. As you could imagine recent events have caused things to go crazy at Town Hall. (Even jade can understand me being here non-stop for the next few days.) MixaMax Of course, I understand. I also remember you promised to make it up to me once the crisis is over. I hope I can at least rely on you about that? Jade @Jade: Lol, you are the best! :D @ManyFaces: I think S.Child is a mare.
