Welcome.

4463241 Hello there.

4463266 Ok, so since I'm rather new to interviews, we shall do it very basically.

An Introduction from each person and then several questions.

My name is Soviet Techpriest eh, I enjoy acting getting into character when it comes to my name although that tends to cause trouble.

4463284 Hello there. I'm LyraAlluse, or Lyra-Chan. I am a writer, artist, and musician who is a big pony fan. I am a also a huge tech nerd and have built a lot of websites and apps. Basically, due to my creative and tech lifestyle, I keep weird hours (usually doing a lot of work at night and not going out of the house much during the day) so I'm pretty sure the neighbors are convinced I'm a vampire. Which is actually kind of hilarious.

4463306 Kek,

Alright we'll start with the first question: You own a group called the Writers Guild, despite me being a member I still don't understand what it is, could you explain it to me?

4463314 Basically, it is a group where people can post/ promote whatever they like (even off-topic things that have nothing to do with the show). People can post stories in the folders, can post episode reviews, writing guides, and basically whatever they want in the forum. We also have group artists who will draw pictures for people, editors/ author's for hire who will willingly edit people's work or help them co-write a story. People can post stories to get comments on in the comment trade area. People can post ideas in the idea thread/ bounce ideas off of other users. We also host contests.

There are a lot off things that can be done. It's pretty much a free-for-all. Well, within reason. The only rule is to keep things appropriate on the forums, as in not bringing up adult themes. But other than that, people are encouraged to post or promote whatever they like.

4463351 Ah, so it's a child friendly group as well? Coolios.

Next Question: When did you notice you had above 100 members?

4463357 When one of the other members pointed it out. ^^ I am glad to have a lot of members. I would like to see it grow into a big group with lots of supportive members who are willing to help with writing, put forward their ideas about how to make the group bigger/ better, etc.

4463372 Ah, I didn't notice my group had above 100 until I a bunch of new people posted.

3rd Question: A stupid question but what is your opinion of Communism?

Actual 3rd Question: how did you react when you realised you had above 50 followers.

4463382 About communism: well, that is a complex question. And it really just depends on how the people in that government feel about it.

About the group: I was happy when I had over 50 followers. Like I said, I would like to see it grow into a large, supportive group.

4463400 4th Question: Do you expect the group to grow in the future?

4463402 It would be nice if it could grow into a large community. I'm not sure if I expect things one way or another. But I definitely welcome as many members as who are willing to join. ^^

4463416 I see you write stories, What got you into writing?

4463421 I have been writing since a very young age. When I am not writing pony fan fictions, I am writing horror stories (some of which have been published), fantasy stories, science fiction, and poetry.

My first real exposure to the whole writing/ storytelling thing came when I was young and I watched a show called The Storyteller (made by Jim Henson) where a storyteller would tell a different story each week.

My second exposure came from a show called Are You Afraid of The Dark, where kids would tell horror stories around the campfire.

These experiences influence me even today, and motivate me to continue writing horror stories and fantasy stories.
