Based on an excellent suggestion from one of our users, we have discussed the need for a thread where users can inform other RP'ers when they are planning on taking extended leaves of absence. We think this is an excellent idea to help keep things organized and neat! This topic/thread is open use for any RP'er who is going to be taking a leave of absence to post a heads up to all of their RP's, and let them know they will be unable to respond for an extended period of time. While it would still be best to make an appropriate 'exit' from any RP you will be absent from (a clean way to excuse your character from the RP such as 'oh my goodness I left the muffins in too long!'), we understand that sometimes life happens, and you may or may not be able to do so. In either scenario, we kindly ask that you post your planned leave of absence in this topic here! For example, if I know I will be camping for two weeks in the summer, I would make a post in this thread bringing attention to the fact that any of my characters (and provide a list) will be inactive for those two weeks. I would try to post this information at least a week in advance, work on excusing myself from my RP's, and then go have some fun in the wilderness! Then when I get back, I could make a new post about my characters being re-opened, and ready to RP again, and talk to the RP's I was present in to see if there would be an acceptable way to work my OC back into the RP. I think this courtesy would go a long ways, and keep a lot of the "Is so and so ever going to post in mysterious thread here again?" at bay. This thread can also double in the unfortunate circumstance that somepony feels the need to leave the Equestria forums indefinitely. While I personally do not want to see anypony go, if somepony decides that they need to part ways for whatever reason, then this topic/thread can also be used to give a heads-up to their respective RP's and to glean any contact information they would like to from other bronies. In this case, we will hang onto a user's information and OC's up to two weeks before removing any old applications or characters from the boards (freeing up slots for new chars). If the user decides to come back in that time, then all they need is post in that thread that they are returning, and nothing will be cleaned out as outdated information. Tl:dr version: Post here when your planning on being gone! Thanks for being considerate of your fellow RP'ers, and check back here often to see what is going on with your fellow bronies!

How I became a Brony & why Twilight Sparkle is my guardian angel.
Adorkable posted a blog entry in The Adorkable Life
When I was just a child, I had a special skill to make friends with almost anyone I met. People enjoyed speaking with me, and getting to know me better, I was like a "friendship magnet". Upon my middle and high school years, I lost this ability. I became shy, nervous, and I easily made bad first impressions, and lost friends as the days went by. Eventually, I found myself alone, not a friend in the world to run to. I was sad, scared, and friendless. This eventually turned the shining personality I had inside out, no longer was I good at making friends, but good at losing them. Girls never really spoke with me, people would laugh and mock me, and the awkward days of the beginning of school only made this worse. Friends reuniting, and I would just stand in a corner simply twiddling my thumbs. Things got so bad, I would skip lunch and go to the library every day just to feel relaxed. When I would get kicked out of the library for going too much, I would just go and sit in the restrooms, it was a miserable time. I fell into a deep depression from all of this. Imagine the complete opposite of how I am now, that's who I was. A smile was the rarest thing to see on my face. As all students, I eventually graduated high school. Not surprising, but I had no friends to celebrate with when walking across that stage to take my diploma. At the end, the hats would fly and as they fell, I was walking across the football field, ready to go home and start the boring adult life I live in now. The internet is just about the only place I can find friends at this point. During one of my daily Yahoo! News checks, I seen something about "Bronies". To this day, the article's topic remains blurred in my mind. Whatever it was, it gained my curiosity enough to do some research on these Bronies. After I found out it was grown men liking My Little Pony, it made me curious as well as disturbed. I wondered what made these people tick? But, I had a past with watching "girly" shows like Powerpuff Girls, so I thought I would give it a shot, just to see what I could find in My Little Pony. I actually resisted watching the show a few times at first, but eventually gave in and fell in love with the Mane 6. First, it was Applejack, the southern sweetheart. Eventually, it went through them all (except Rainbow Dash). Around the time of Equestria Girls, the lack of MLP between the Season 3 finale and the movie was torturing. I actually came an inch close to losing my Brony faith. I never really considered any of who I had picked before to be my literal favorites, but a phase where I would just switch out every few days. I told myself that Equestria Girls was my last shot. If this movie didn't revive my faith in MLP, I would probably lose it for good. By the way, during this time, Twilight Sparkle was my pending favorite, as I wasn't sure if I wanted her to be my favorite yet. After Twilight becoming a princess, it only pushed me closer to discovering my guardian angel waifu. When I seen the movie, there was something about "Helping Twilight Sparkle Win the Crown" that completely woke my faded Brony side. I was filled with all the rainbows and magic my body could hold. After viewing the movie, I felt as a dead battery being completely recharged. I had never been into MLP more than that particular moment. Something inside me changed from seeing that movie, along with Magical Mystery Cure. It was the moment every Brony experiences sooner or later, the real choosing of your favorite pony. While it may not seem as big of a deal as I'm making it, this choice completely changed me inside and out. I've always said that you don't choose your favorite pony, but they choose you. And this was the feeling you get that I was referring to. With this event of Twilight Sparkle becoming such a big part of my life, my personality finally bloomed. I was happy, energetic, eager to make new friends and turn frowns upside down. Sure it sounds nothing short from Pinkie Pie, but it was the friendship inside that made these feelings possible. I could finally make friends again, make people smile, and they were rewards of their own. I've been asked from time to time if I truly believe in magic, which just happened to ironically be Twilight's Element of Harmony, while also meaning Friendship. As to magic being a real thing, I most certainly believe in it. But not from the view of making things levitate and being able to bend the will of reality itself, I truly believe that magic itself is the feeling you get inside when you make a new friend. The happy, giddy feeling you get that can't do anything but make you smile! I couldn't have learned anything about this, the true magic of friendship, without the help of Twilight Sparkle. Because of this wonderful pony, I've discovered who I am on the inside, who I really am. Not set down by the stereotypes my parents have nailed to my forehead, but who my heart wants me to be. Who am I? This is me. A year had passed, and the feeling of my Brony side had once again, begin to feel a fading feeling. I was worried about this, I loved being a Brony, I loved My Little Pony (still do!), I didn't want this magic inside to end. After a long day of stressing over such a thing, I had finally passed out from exhaustion. Something magical happened that night. A dream that had seemed half reality and half imagination, I found myself awake, on my back, in bed, staring down my chest. I seen a small light appear above my stomach. Can you guess whom it was? Twilight Sparkle, of course. At this point, I knew I was dreaming, but I decided to see what would carry out from this "dream" I was experiencing. Once Twily appeared from the center of the light (she was about the size of my fist, maybe doubled), she slowly landed on my chest and folded her wings back. I played along with this dream and asked her what she was doing here. Twilight sat down and looked me in the eyes, and told me she knew what was going on, why I was so worried and stressed. She knew what she had caused, and why I didn't want it to leave. She calmly told me that it was okay to feel this way, these kinds of things happen to everyone, let it flow naturally. Don't force myself to be something I can't have a passion for. I told her how much I didn't want it to end, I remember a tear rolling down my cheek, I loved Twilight, I told her. She told me that she felt the same, and that no matter what happens, she would always be in my heart. There with me through thick and thin, Brony or not, Twilight would always be with me, because she loved me too. I remember as she said so, she began to fly away and fade into the same light she appeared in. I remember the struggle of lifting my arm, due to being asleep and unable to move, by the time by arm was up, I was awake, and Twilight was gone. All this stress had passed, I felt relieved. I layed back down and rolled over, saying "Thank you, Twily", and dosed back off to sleep. At this moment I knew that Twilight was just more than my favorite pony. She was my teacher, my friend, my guardian angel. -

Bass was ultimately convinced to dress like a hipster for Nightmare Night. The conversation was something like this: Bass: "Why do I have to dress like a Hipster, Midsy?" Midsy: "Because it'll be ironic!" Bass: "How?" Treble: "Because you'd be dressing like a hipster for Nightmare Night before being a hipster for Nightmare Night becomes cool!" *The two mares burst into laughter.* Bass: "Dear Celestia, help me." -

Why I will never again attempt to post a story on EQD.
DeepBass posted a blog entry in DeepBass' Blog
The following is a screencap of an e-mail conversation between myself and one of the Fanfiction moderators of EQD, upon submiting my story, "Flare of Hope" to EQD. Now, to those who have read the story, you'd understand the basis of the story, and realize that it is NOT, in fact, a Brony in Equestria story. -

Alright. So, I've been working on this for about a month. This story so far is (in my opinion) my best work. Before I post the link to it, I'll give you a small synopsis. It's not a HiE story, but from the prologue, you might think it is. Basically, Seaman David Flare is miserable with his life in the navy. After losing both his best friend, and the love of his life in a supernatural incident, it only gets worse. And on top of that, he is starting to lose control of the magic he trained so hard to learn. One day, he is pulled into Equestria, against his will, and wakes up as an Alicorn, only to find that there has always been more to him than meets the eye. Will he ever fulfill his destiny? Will he ever find out what truly happened to his friends? I don't know, yet. I haven't even started on Chapter 7. xD Also, this story takes place before the royal wedding, but features heavy amounts of Cadance. Also, the Mane 6 have their small parts in the story, as with any other fic I write. I don't like centering my fics on the Mane 6, so I give them small supporting roles. Rated Teen for Language! There. You've been properly warned. Now, I proudly present to you... FLARE OF HOPE! ^That's the link, guys.^ OH! And be sure to leave a critique, and check out my other fics. I don't have a pre-reader or proofreader, so criticism is welcome.

It was pretty awesome. Except the short chorus in the beginning and the long one at the end didn't need to be there.

Well, after a recent trip to a guitar shop with my friend, I realized that I know WAAAAAAAY too much about the little stringed instruments that go by the category of "Guitar." This includes Bass guitars, and amplifiers. Chances are, If I've heard of it, I've probably played on it. So, this is going to be my little sanctuary to give out Tech advice for anypony who needs it, or to stop anypony from making a purchase they'll regret. So, if you have any questions, what so ever, I'd be more than happy to answer them, or give advice. And just for good measure, I'll go ahead, and list the guitars and Basses I've played on... and remember. Guitars: Gibson 70's Cherry V Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty Epiphone '65 Custom Casino /w Bigsby Tailpiece *Own* Kona Solid-Top acoustic *Own* Gibson Double-Cutaway Les Paul (Bob Marley Style) Epiphone Les Paul Studio (Heritage Cherry Sunburst) /w Custom Alnico Pickups *Owned* Fender Billy Corgan Signature Stratocaster Fender Telecaster *owned* Dean VMNTX *owned* Ibanez Gio /w Floyd Rose *owned* PRS Starla (Expensive as buck) ESP Phoenix Gibson Firebird Fender Stratocaster *owned* Jackson RR1 Rhodes Schecter Synister Gates Artist Model Schecter Zacky Vengeance Artist Model Fender Detonator (Strat with Seymour Duncan Detonator Humbuckers and a Killswitch, along with free floating tremolo.) Schecter V Schecter Omen (6 and 7) And the list goes on... Basses: Gibson Thunderbird Bass Gibson Nikki Sixx Blackbird Squier P-Bass (Modified to add Seymour Duncan J-Bass Pickup.) *owned* Squier '70's Modified J-Bass *OWN* Ibanez Soundgear Lefty Bass (Restrung for Righty) *OWN* Squier Frank Belo J-Bass Fender Aerodyne J-Bass (Surprisingly Rich sound for such a thin Bass) Music Man Stingray And more and more and more. Every time I go into GC, I play a different Bass or Guitar just to see how it sounds.

Well, I got bored and decided to draw Bass like those cool pony backgrounds you see. I think it came out pretty well, for a first try. I might do more like this in time. -
Alright. This sucks. I'm going to be underway for 5 days in transit to a port. I'll be there for a week, then off to another port for a week, then eventually back home. This is going to be almost a span of a month. Which really sucks. The good news is that while in port, I'll be able to RP whether I'm on duty or not. Bad news... I'm on the watch bill. >.< Good news (For my readers) I'm going to be writing the entire time I'm not on watch. (Or I'll be playing Devil May Cry 3... All possibilities.) Even better news, I'll lose more weight. xD Until I hit New Orleans. GULF SEAFOOD AND CAJUN CUISINE HERE I COME!

Well, upon releasing chapter 15 of my fanfic, "Broken Strings and BPM's," I quickly realized that my readers are already awaiting chapter 16. xD I love my readers! They're the lifeblood of my writing! Love you guys!

Somepony's not too thrilled about having to wear glasses. This is exactly how I felt when I found out that I need glasses. But I managed to get a prescription pair of Gunnars, so it's not all that bad. -
Alright. As the title implies, I am looking for assistance. Preferably from another musician or vocalist. I am finally working to put vocals to my track "Cut by a Sharp Note", and can't do it myself, for the simple reason that I would like to see someone else's twist on this. That and I can't find a secluded, quiet place to record them. So, if anypony would like to give it a shot, simply download the track from my soundcloud, and PM me, so I can look forward to the results. I'm awaiting submissions. http://soundcloud.com/deepbuckingbass/cut-by-a-sharp-note

Well, since I've spent all night playing Borderlands and Roleplaying, I haven't gotten any sleep tonight, so accordingly, I'm taking the night off. I more than likely won't be doing any Roleplay tonight, so I can get a little bit of sleep. God knows I need it. I'll do some roleplay throughout the day, when I get the chance, but tonight's still in the air. It really all depends on how I feel after I get off work.

Well, I was sitting on the pier, bored all day, because the sea state at our port was rediculous. The bumpers between the ship and pier were rocking like crazy. Well, at first they refused to let us lower the boat so we could paint because of the sea state, but somehow, we managed to convince them otherwise. Well, upon getting in the boat, we realized just how crazy it was. Not only myself, but also my fellow punt crewman also fell into the nasty crapwater. Unfortunately, they made us take the boat out. After a short argument, my PO's decided that they weren't going to let us go back down. Without even thinking about it, I blurted out "Come on, BM1! One more try! I gotta know we gave it our all! If I'm goin down, I'm goin down painting!" Despite my epic RD quote, they still didn't let us drop the boat. v.v I felt awesome tho.

Well, I've been really bored, and decided to do something productive with my time. So, I decided to get to work on a song that I've had lyrics written for for a long time. So far, all I have is the intro, which was inspired by "7 Days to The Wolves" by Nightwish. I'm rendering the intro as a teaser right now, and will hopefully have it posted soon.

Ok, so yesterday, at morning muster, we had a new petty officer, who recently checked onboard like... last week. Well, there's a pattern that all new PO's fall into when they get onboard into Deck Department: 1.Observation period. (Normally a few days) 2.Notices how disorganized the department is. 3.Tries to change the department to make life better for the seamen, and get things done more efficiently. 4.Realizes that all his efforts are for naught (mostly because the department heads just don't really care), and eventually gives up. 5.Becomes a total douche. Well, as predicted by the aforementioned pattern, this PO holds us after muster, and says, and I quote: "Alright, guys. I noticed that this department is all kind of *expletive*'d up. And we're gonna do something about that. So, we're gonna organize the work schedule a little bit." Of course, me being a brony, I was shot back to "Winter Wrap-Up." So, my first thought (as well as the first thing that came out of my mouth) was "Aye aye, Petty Officer Twilight Sparkle!" Of course, since nobody else in the department is a Brony, they all looked at me like "WTF?" So, now I'm the weird guy in my department. Go figure. Pic kinda related.
