2018: My Pony Year in Retrospective · 9:47pm Dec 31st, 2018
It's time to do this again..... This time also here on FIMFiction.net, instead of just on Deviantart, to follow-up on my sort-of retrospective I wrote here last year.

There is a popular theory about Generation 5 going through the fandom right now, because of the Elements of Harmony merchandise that Sunny has in her bedroom. Namely that everything we have seen in Generation 4 never actually happened and is all just a TV show (or, alternatively, book) that exists in the world of Generation 5. This theory originated, probably independently, both in a comment on Equestria Daily and on Discord/Twitter:

Generation 5 is definitely going to be wonderful, especially with all the news confirming that it will be a sequel to Friendship is Magic and keep the same universe. But
For almost a month now, we have the first, concrete news about Generation 5 from the Kidscreen article and now it's time for me to look at all the information in detail.
Can you imagine? Generation 5 has not even started yet and there is already a controversy about its premise in the fandom.
Today, I have taken a close look at the synopsis of the Generation 5 Movie that is going to kick off Generation 5 in Autumn:
What we learn from this synopsis is that the three pony tribes are hostile to each other again and live separated, in a divided Equestria that has been split up into three individual kingdoms.
Most who read this probably already know about it for weeks, but I thought a little reminder and redirection to where everything happens can't hurt:
In under an hour, Hasbro will have an investor event that will very likely bring new Generation 5 infos! Nopony knows if that will be a fully animated and voiced teaser or trailer (unlikely), a few teaser screenshots (much more likely) or just verbal information (most definitely).
It's my own twist on the MLP fandom's laughing stock, black and red alicorn OCs.
Putting aside the update, I decided the cover art should be something black and red (obviously), so I googled "black and red" and eventually came to a nice picture. The problem I had with it was that it was Yin-Yang, which could throw come people who read the story off. So, instead I looked up "black and red alicorn"...
And stumbled upon the ugliest goddamn ponies I've seen in my entire life.
Howdy everypony!
Novel Idea here! I know it's been a little while since we last had a post, but remember we've decided to shift to a monthly update schedule. Heck, a few of you have asked if we're still in business!
I acquired three Warner Bros. VHS tapes from a Schenectady, NY-based eBay seller (american_anglophile) that sold the three. The seller, alias Jennifer Deuel, mainly lists cosmetic products; I was under the impression that she was now only selling the 1997 VHS of Titanic; alas, she has not listed any more VHS tapes as of this writing.
Basically, we cleared her whole stock.
Those who follow me on Twitter likely saw a set of posts right after the recent episode where I set the canon for how the Applewood Derby would have occurred in my various stories. Here are the reproduced and explanded versions.
A new mystery is coming to Silver Phoenix Productions, and Coco's out to solve it as best she can with an unlikely partner...Suri?! Check out the new part for more!
The Manehattan Project will be hosting our first-ever convention panel at Pacific PonyCon 2017 on the weekend of January 6-8, 2017 in San Diego, California!
Time travel? Meh, at least it was better than how Sonic 06' did it.
Also, alternate Equestria? You KNOW Hasbro has been looking at some Fallout MLP fanfics. Come on, I mean - Rainbow Dash with metal wings? (which is admittedly friggin' awesome if I must say)
Two announcements for folks today!
First off, you all might have noticed I posted a new story earlier today:
Recurring Nightmare
by Titanium Dragon
Drama
2,174 words
I feel like being creative tonight. Which might be the painkillers talking, but hey, when the Muses call, who am I to refuse?
Anyway, I arted this a few nights ago:
And the finished colors:
WHEW, it's a doozy.
Also, good news! Someone took off their thumb down! My story now stands at 59 likes over 1 dislike! I'm very grateful for the change of heart, random person who originally disliked it. I'm glad I could entertain you enough to reconsider!
I thank all my readers for sticking with me thus far.
So, I finally have a plan for how the FIRST ARC of Equis Art Online II is gonna finish. It involves a second attempt at bringing about Ragnarok, an EPIC boss battle, and a massive retake of the World Tree from Syrt, the leader of the Flame Giants. It'll end with Twilight heading to the Human World for an extended stay with Kirito, Sugu, Alice, Eugeo, and Yui. The first arc end chapter will have an introduction to the beginning of the second arc. The second arc is gonna take place in IRL and
