So, would using a probe and conveying a message to Equestria without meeting in person still count as first contact? The ponies discover the Pioneer probe and the plaque its carrying and try to discern its meaning, but I'm not sure if that'll qualify.

I think it would count, personally.

It's been done.

...Oh. Well, I'm still writing it. Don't ever say I don't plagiarize.

I'm with the Admiral. I usually think of first contact as two way communication no matter what kind of 'delay' is involved, but it has to start somewhere. I also try never to disagree with admirals... And that goes double for Admirals of Biscuits.

I'll keep an eye out for the story.

Indeed, an Admiral of Biscuits is someone of true power, and demands respect.

I was actually planning on posting it today, but it might take a little longer, considering that I can't cut dialogue to save my own life.
