Suck it, and bask in some of the awesome ideas they've got scheduled.

shipping RD + Cadance...
Kill me.

I've often seen comments such as "these characters could never get together," or "the only way to ship this character is to get rid of this one!"

Bull. Shit.

Part of the magic of fanfiction is that our entire art is based on the magic of the unknown. Filling in the blanks between episodes, or between scenes. Asking "really, Kirk's so fast to jump into bed with women, why not men too?"

Back in 2013, I wrote a story called The Monsters Inside.

It wasn't pony related at all. But it did get into The Writhing Dark anthology!

And now I've posted it online. Go have a look, if you like Lovecraftian horror!

I should not have to refer to myself officially as "an oldster," but considering the average age of the fandom I suppose I qualify.

So, before some of you out there were born, there was another well-written, well-animated cartoon out there... though far less pastel-equine oriented.

For one thing, I think Ayn Rand wrote the paired episodes.

For another, Party Favor has taken up position as Cheese Sandwich's biggest romantic rival for Pinkie... and *strongly* supports the idea that there really is a secret society of party ponies with special powers.

The best My Little Pony film ever came out this year.

It's called Guardians of the Galaxy. Saw it Tuesday night, and realized this: It's basically the first two episodes of My Little Pony, if they'd had an hour and a half and two hundred million dollars to play with.

When I heard the spell, I'll admit.

I was kinda hoping we'd end up with a Forbidden Planet reference.

Based on a True Story - the saga of three ponies trying to get a danged meal on Hearts and Hooves Day - is up.

Or at least the first chapter is.

The second and third chapters will be posted as they're ready... I'm hoping to get this finalized by 2/14/14.

Comments, feedback, and general ego stroking are helpful for making this happen.
