Harken back, if you will, to my blog post from a month ago. "Magic isn't magic?", I called it. In it (specifically, in footnote [2]), I mentioned my intention to someday explore the nature of pegasus and earth pony magic. Well, that day is not today.

Arthur C. Clarke's Third Law famously states, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The popular illustration of this idea is the hypothetical situation in which a modern-day layman travels back in time to, say, medieval Europe. Our time traveler then approaches a native of that time period and reveals a modern device, such as a Game Boy (rather than a cellphone, which relies on modern infrastructure to operate properly). The man of the past, lacking the

Well, Chapter 4 of E4E is up. As of now, I finally have my pre-readers on board, and they'll be helping me to keep my plot out of hot water. I'd like to give a big thank-you to Prosper and lolajew for their criticisms.

Hello once again to my faithful readers! Recently, there was a post on Equestria Daily regarding the Equestrian currency, specifically detailing how one might go about converting from Bits to USD. That got me thinking; in what other ways can I apply far too much thought to the show? The answer, naturally, is to attempt to find a quantitative measure of Twilight Sparkle's strength. Now, because I don't actually know the mechanics of unicorn magic, I've brought in the closest thing I could

Okay, I want to get something out of the way right now: I loved "Magical Mystery Cure". Everything about it was brilliant, and M. A. Larson and Daniel Ingram are on top form. The animation was the smoothest and cleanest I've ever seen it, the effects were beautiful, and Twilicorn looked completely natural. As such, it might be worth taking what you're about to read with a grain of salt; it's going to be flavored by my own bias.

If you've looked at my bio at any point, you probably saw that I promised to explain the story behind my avatar at some time. Well, that time is now!

Chapter 2 of E4E is going to be delayed for quite some time. Not because I don't have the time to write it; it is, in fact, already done. You may be wondering, quite justifiably, why I haven't released it yet. The answer is that the information revealed in it is integral to the remainder of the story, and I want to be sure that I can satisfactorily tie up any plot threads before I set it in stone. As such, I want to write out most of the rest of the story before I publish anything further.

I just finished watching Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony, and I was floored. It completely captured my own experiences with the fandom (minus the fact that I've never been to a Con), and I think the "sample bronies" they chose were excellent. Great music ("Proud to be a Brony" especially), great art, great people, and a couple of original animations just for the documentary. John de Lancie even does a little musical number, which is hilarious in so many

So, at this point, the first chapter of E4E has been out for a couple days. I plan to have chapter two out before "Keep Calm and Flutter On," because impossible goals are the best kind. Before that, though, I wanted to go into a bit of my overall plan for the story. Just as SoaP was an exploration of the characters through Twilight's interactions with them, E4E will be my tool for developing the mythology and setting of Equestria.
