I sometimes write words on the internet. Occasionally, people really like them.

BBCode advice

[figure=left][quote]...[/quote][/figure]

[figure=right][quote]...[/quote][/figure]

Remember [left_insert] and [right_insert]? They were cool. Well, you can just about simulate them with [quote] inside [figure], like that.

Need to write literal BBCode in a post? Simply surround it with [code] tags (with the caveat that there’s no way to put a literal ending code tag inside a code tag). For example, if you need people to see [color=red]text goes here[/color], write [code][color=red]text goes here[/color][/ code] minus the space in the [/ code].

Underrated Favourites

  • A Kingdom Divided For many years, Elements of Harmony were responsible for keeping peace in Equestria. But sometimes, magic of friendship is not enough... by Samey90 141,829 words · 124 · 25
  • The Infestation of Canterlot High School Chrysalis’s second invasion was an incredible success—Equestria has fallen, and it seems like there isn’t anypony left to save it. But when Chrysalis stumbles across a mirror in Friendship Castle, it might not be ponies she has to worry about. by Bonster 101,588 words · 78 · 9

  • Twilight's Library Twilight struggles to find meaning in the universe, which most ponies call 'the Library'. by ocalhoun 3,606 words · 91 · 1
Stories that I've read and took a liking to, and that are severely underrated for their quality (in my humble opinion). A Kingdom Divided is a modern-era warfic where it's perhaps easier to list the named characters who *don't* die. Not sure why I like it so much, but it just stuck with me somehow. The Infestation of Canterlot High School imagines Chrysalis' victory in S6 and subsequent incursion into ...guess where. Trouble ensues. sweetie.log is a Friendship-is-Optimal-verse exploration of what an incomplete Sweetie Bot might be feeling after things melt down. It's absolutely excellent if you have the slightest interest in computing or robotics. Star Trek: Pegasus is the third in a (good) series of Trek crossovers. After story one reconciled Discord and Q, and story two connected Equestria and Earth by long-range wormhole (but not before plenty of awkward and strange for Equestrians and Enterprise alike), story three picks up years later and follows the first pony in Starfleet as Trek-type things happen, from the mundane to the borderline cosmic horror. Finally, Twilight's Library is a fusion with an old original short story entitled The Library of Babel, about a universe composed of a vast library, containing every possible book of a certain length. It's a lot more philosophical (and horrifying) than I just made it sound.

My Introduction to Fimfics

  • Five Score, Divided by Four As a fan of the show, I always loved Rainbow Dash and her cutie mark, but I never wanted it to appear on my leg! Now that it has, all sorts of things are getting weird around here. I'm a guy, not a mare! Cartoon ponies aren't real... right? by TwistedSpectrum 277,593 words · 4,091 · 212
  • Friendship is Optimal Hasbro just released the official My Little Pony MMO, with an A.I. Princess Celestia to run it. by Iceman 38,609 words · 4,233 · 138
  • Sunset Shimmy Sunset Shimmer's happy, so she starts acting like the pony that she was born as. This can only end in adoracute. by shortskirtsandexplosions 3,568 words · 1,268 · 39
  • The Sweetie Chronicles: Fragments Sweetie Belle must find Twilight by travelling through different Fanfic worlds... by Wanderer D 570,484 words · 3,340 · 70
The first stories I had the honour of reading. I think. (I made an account to keep track about half a year after I started.) 5S/4 apparently inspired so many side fics that side fics for it got banned. It was a heck of a read, and it took me a while to get used to the main fandom only having three CMC members. FiO was a cerebral read about the impact of the tech singularity on morality; one of its side stories actually terrified a real AI researcher! <http://hpmor.com/notes/progress-13-03-01/> Sunset Shimmy, which was featured that one time I looked at the frontpage, was my introduction to the actually-pretty-good author known as shortskirtsandexplosions. The Sweetie Chronicles was a jumping-off point to a lot of good (if old) fics. A warning: it's huge, and one of the fics it crosses over with is huger still! Finally, if you can see Royal Duties, you'll know. It helps that it had more story than average.

2544118 Ember, Hoardsmelter was good stuff.
"your user page is refreshingly interesting" is not something I'm used to hearing... :twilightsheepish:
I lived for side_insert as soon as I first saw it.

Thanks for the fave on Ember, Hoardsmelter.

By the way, your user page is refreshingly interesting. I particularly like the BBCode tip to simulate the old inserts.

We're going to be censored whether we get net neutrality or not. Our government can't be trusted but neither can all these big tech companies which follow the globalist third-worldist agenda who want to turn the West into a multicultural shopping mall. Regardless, the follow is appreciated sir.

As a very novice writer, I'm glad to hear that. When I eventually get around to writing the sequel, I hope you will enjoy it as well.

2312840 My view of what's worth reading has always been a bit different. Don't take my opinion as indicative of anybody else's, or of any objective measure (except perhaps spelling/grammar).
