Howdy, all!
The convention was amazing! There should be one every year! Even sooner! I'd never heard of Midnight Castle till five days ago, and I feel I've been missing out. Well, sorta. Humans are weird, but the adventures are darn good! (Why didn't I think of that?)
And Molly is best creature! She even gets to hang out with Luna!
RRBB, PaintDrop: you girls are okay.
WaterBottle
@WaterBottle: you seriously chose that as a name? -.-
And I've been telling you how cool the stories are! The idea of other worlds, gods, humans, bending reality, it's so incredible! And meeting one of the writers! Unreal! :D
Oh, and read the fanfics! So many of them are great. I like Brush's a lot! I'll bring you my copies of MCE tomorrow, just take good care of them, okay?
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: I ain't reading some of those! You shouldn't be either!
I'm thinking of writing some stories of my own. Something a bit different... which I've posted :D so y'all can tell me what you think.
@LyraHands: I couldn't understand the tagging whatchamacallit. Comedy is fine, right?
WaterBottle
@all: Thank you all for making this such a wonderful experience! I'll never forget this. When I started Midnight Castle, I never considered ill make so many new friends or get in touch with old ones. Something magical happened here, and while I don't to argue in a chat full of unicorns, this is magic that isn't taught in a classroom.
@Luna, @Fleetfoot, @Number1: thank you so much for being part of my dream. I know it's hardly my place, but I consider you friends. Also, Fleetfoot, you make the best Euryala. :)
@WaterBottle, @Short&Hoofy: very glad to have you here. Now that you know the ponies involved you know we don't bite. :) No worries about the tags, I'll take care of it (and I'm sure Tech will make a better help section soon, as he's been threatening to). Just remember to have fun and ask if you have any questions.
LyraHands
Now that you know the ponies involved you know we don't bite.
you know we don't bite.
we don't bite.
Speak for yourself! :/
Brush
I'm inclined to agree with Brush. O:)
MasterOfThisAstra
@Brush, @MasterOfThisAstra: Will you two stop it? I doubt there's a pony alive who doesn't know you're into each other! At least behave on the site, sheesh! :/
@WaterBottle: congratulations on becoming a Nightling. It's a curse, but you'll get to like it in time. :) What's your story about? (Can't read anything deep right now)
PaintDrop
@LyraHands: that magic is called friendship ;)
I'll say it before, I'll say it again: I'm so glad I returned. Let me the first to say I was wrong about a lot of things, and I deeply apologize.
@The TechNightling: after hearing what you've been through I can say you're one of the most remarkable ponies I've known! What you're doing is much braver and more difficult than anything I could imagine. I just wanted you to know that.
DarkSparkle
@PaintDrop: Oh, it ain't deep :P Just some silliness: a journalist from Ponyville goes to Mistmount to take an interview from the characters there.
WaterBottle
@all: And a small announcement. A new role has been created: Dreamers. Everypony at the meetep gets it (yes, you were so cool), plus a few others. It gives you the power to use @all, so don't abuse it. ;)
Sorry for not being able to spend much time with you at the event :( It's just that I hadn't seen MightyDragon for a while and wanted to catch up.
@PPI: You're crazy, you know that? :)
CodeFilly
@CodeFilly: sure blame it all on me! :P
@all: was a pleasure meeting you all! Especially Bob! Bob rules!
MightyDragon
@all: CEOWitch got called on a mission and might be gone for a while. He told me to tell you he thought the event was great and he was happy to see you. I'll add the same. Even though I'll never read the stories I might hang out here from time to time.
Stay strong!
Fleetfoot
@DarkSparkle: you softy! ;P Glad to have you and thanks for the support. You've no idea how much it means.
@CodeFilly: understandable. :D
@Fleetfoot: we're always happy to have you :D
@MasterOfThisAstra, @Brush: those costumes! :D Really, you two and Jade pulled it off. (Though Jade was clearly cheating! Not fair when you are born with crystal wings :P)
LyraHands
O! M! G! I think I know who S.Child is. It's so simple I don't know why I never thought of it before!
Starswirl the Bearded!
If there's any pony who can travel between worlds. Between time even! Do you think these are recollections of his adventures? I mean I know humans are mythological, but do you think he went there and actually saw them?
SweetStuff
@SweetStuff: that actually makes sense! Of course Starswirl would be able to do that! That explains how he knows so much about humans. There's no way anypony could have such good imagination.
One other thing I now see—the name S.Child could mean nothing less than Starswirl for children. He had written a lot about spells. Maybe he also wrote foal stories, which were later discovered and made into a book series? Sounds perfectly logical if you ask me.
DarkSparkle
Interesting, but weren't all of Starswirl's works discovered ages ago? Difficult to believe nopony would mention such a big find.
InItForTheShipping
@InItForTheShipping: Hello. And yes, that's the one point that has me skeptical. Would be nice, though. A foal's series originating from Starswirl himself... I'm so writing this! :D
DarkSparkle
@InItForTheShipping: Finally another shipper! Do you write or just here to admire the view? :)
Brush
@Brush: a bit of both :) Reading for now (and I love your stuff :)) Oh, and before you ask...I'm a mare.
InItForTheShipping
@InItForTheShipping: Competition, eh? Well you can't have them! All the stallions are mine! Will be watching you try, though ;)
Brush
@Brush: how generous ;)
InItForTheShipping
Ah, new faces. The posters' anonymity is part of the fun, after all. Though I already have a guess about WaterBottle. At least, I hope she's who I think she is.
7980454 i swear this has been a subtle thing in the show though, like guys being super emotional about their looks and stuff but its usually done as comedy like blueblood's one appearance...
crap he'd better not be on the "to redeem" list next season
I still dont know who MightyDragon is. :(
And so Bronycon... er... Humiecon was made!!!
Yay, new characters to ID!
Best Line So FAR!!! Second would be The RealLuna's explanation as to why we are "humies" ("Wow!).
I feel vindicated that my favorite CMC (assuming I guessed right) thinks there should be more filly-friendly fanfiction.
7981985 Read the side story chapter 2.
I thought Tech wasn't able to make it to the Meetup?
Anyway, nice to get some new users on board. And I like the idea about S.Childs. Good to know that even though everyone knows who Brush is AND that she's dating, she's still an incorrigible flirt.
Hold it! We haven't seen the meet up yet. PPI, stop fiddling with causality.

They have mares in charge because they are only one who could move celestial objects without losing their magic. And while Celestia seems as a fairly sucefull ruler (it's look like Equestria don't have any major social or economical problems) It mostly because she have staggering amount of experience being in charge of a nation.
And while someone may try to use her as a excuse to discriminate stallions I'm sure that Celestia herself would squash such attempt with extreme prejudice.
But again, nothing in canon suggest that such sexism exist.
Fancy Pants, Shining Armor, Filthy Rich, Gladmane... IIRC even Manehettan mayor are male.
Again, we never see such emotions fragility in canon. And I'm pretty sure that "being susceptible to feminine tricks" and "being an emotionally fragile" are two different things.
Haven't read all of the meet-up story yet, but I'm putting my two bits down that WaterBottle is Applebloom. I thought it was Rarity for a moment, then noticed certain "uncouth" vernaculars.
Also, re-reading this fic after learning for sure who some of the characters are. Nice to see where I got it right and laughing my flank off at the ones I got wrong, but can see through their eyes.
I have decided, though this has a few things in it that I don't particularly like, in general this fic is one of my favorites, and it will be on that list. And no, it's not something that I will say what it is, because it's important to the story and it's just a Personal Dislike on that particular subject matter, not an actual cliche-complaint (I actually have zero of these for this fic, which is a pleasant surprise) or story-issue.
As such, please keep writing, and should you decide down the line to cancel it....say that the fees for the site got too expensive or the story's owners called copyright BS or something and they had to shut the site down so it's still 'complete'. It'd be a sad ending to a fun story, but at least it won't just break off and be left hanging for eternity.
