Now for a little fun and history.

A few months back, I was studying the Spanish Conquest of Mexico, ultimately having four different authors providing me details. While a lot of the data lined up, some of it didn't, or contradicted, or had another issue come up.

The following videos are about the same battle; Teutoburg Forest, 9 AD. Although they feature the same event, both of them have major differences that might help you see the historian's problem of conflicting information;

Tell everyone your friends, family and who else you could think of because this is BIG!

Twilight and I went to the local movie theater to see the 25th Anniversary of James Cameron's 1997 film TITANIC. the film was not quite as good as I remembered it the 3D was a bit understated and wonky at times. But it was a good excuse to get out of the house and wear my Our best historically themed outfits. As we were getting ready to leave I got to chatting with one of the employees a bit which was fun. Sadly not many people were there for the 10:00 screening (started at 9:30 but all

So I have two more stories I intend to start soon, one goes back to when Celestia and Luna became Princesses and the second is a Human transformed into pony one.

The historic one will be started a little later, but the human transformed will be started soon enough. You will see the plot of it when it comes up.

It will involve the Day and the Night in way.

Reading some Dazzling stories, I had a thought which led to an idea.

Rainbow Rocks was released in 2014, so we'll use that for the present time of the movie (even though it's probably sooner since it's only a few months after the first movie). Also, let us assume that despite the similarities to Equestria, the human world's history pretty much mirrors our own. Finally, based on the accents, we will conclude that Canterlot High is a school in the United States.

As you may know, Hope and I have collaborated in the writing of three fics on this site: Breakdown, At the Inn of the Prancing Pony and My World Is Empty Without You. Our process in writing these stories is to roleplay the scenes, and then I turn the transcript into the finished story. In Breakdown, Hope played Discord and Fluttershy, in Inn of the Prancing Pony she played Duke Comet and Midnight Sparkle, and in My

So, out of the stories I was going to revise, 'Through the Snow' wasn't one of them. I ended up revising its first chapter and fixing a couple things in it, as wells as adding the 'lost chapter' from 'Missing Pages & Scrapped Footnotes'. I really liked revisiting the story and getting to add some new stuff, especially about historical Equestria/Tribal ponies. I had a lot of fun when first writing this, and when I went over this again.

Spoilers are firing!

This episode opens with Fluttershy and her critter friends hanging out inside her cottage, getting ready to enjoy a nice discussion as part of her furry friends book club activities (go to your local library and get some books. It's good for your mind). This is interrupted when, on Angel's prompting, Fluttershy realizes that she's being called by the map and has to leave.
