Hey look at that! We finally reached 250 members, which I'm pretty sure makes us the greatest group ever... or something like that. Anyway, in celebration we decided to not do any of the stuff that people suggested and instead hold a live Question & Answer session this upcoming Friday, 5/10. The stream will start at 9PM EST, and will go on for however long we're willing to go I assume. We really only decided on a start time, not an end time. Regardless, it should be pretty fun.
If you're wondering where this livestream will be held, well look no further than this link: Seattle's Angels Livestream
If you suggested something in the previous thread, and you'd still like to see it done still, then feel free to hop into the Q&A on Friday and maybe we'll do it, depending on how willing everyone is. Again, the start time is 9PM Eastern Standard Time. If you can't make it for whatever reason, then you can submit questions in this thread and we'll do our best to answer them. Also, assuming I can get everything running properly, we'll also be recording it so we can put it up on youtube or something for anyone that missed it and wants to see it.
Mark your calenders, kids. This Friday, 9PM, be there or be square.
We hope to see you guys there! unintentional rhyming ftw!

This was a lot of fun for us! Is this something that'd interest you guys? Maybe if we did this more frequently, shorter, and (attempting) to stick to just one or two topics per video? Let us know!
Skipping around a bit, picking out the parts that seemed most interesting. 3.5 hours is a bit much. I'd rather see a bit more focused things at about an hour length max.
One thing I found interesting was the discussions on what type of fics get written and/or are popular. Think I'll add a question about that to the "ask us anything" thread ;)
974897 The banter is hilarious, though. I recommend giving the whole thing a listen, especially since Pav's table of contents is missing a fair amount.
975276 Yeah, it is. Problem is, and the chat itself mentions this, that all that fan-base interaction cuts into time for doing other things, like reading fan fics. Or writing, which I really should be doing right now
At 1:30:00, the topic of a 1st person Fluttershy story came up. I just want to point out that there are two 1st person Fluttershy stories that I know of off the top of my head. The first is Survivor Shy, which is basically Fluttershy alone in a post-apocalyptic setting trying to find the Elements and return Equestria to the way it once was. It's the first story I tried to recommend here, though now it gets into the featured box just about every time it updates. The second is I Have No Voice, and I Must Cry, a dark little one-shot set centuries after Keep Calm and Flutter On and based on the assumption that Fluttershy is the only friend Discord ever makes.

Don't panic.
New stream link because I'm an idiot and can't get livestream to work...
I am watching, but I don't have a Youtube account. Also, I'm a little late to mention this, but on the subject of Russians and Tetris...

975276 Hey, CSquared. The next time Seattle's Angels does a livestream, if you're able to join them, wear a Santa hat.

For once, you've said something brilliant.
