Corsair

I need to report a terrible loss. Last weekend was Canterlot Gardens. My son and I both attended and had a blast, but there was one horrible incident. For most of the day, I had my Nightmare Moon figure riding around, partially in my front pocket to show her off. Sometime between a panel and a visit to the dealer's room, NMM went missing. I checked at the staff-room's lost-and-found box several times, but no one ever turned her in before we had to leave the hotel. Now, I have the full set of ponies, MINUS the only one I really wanted in the first place... I really hope one of the TRUs around here still has the set on the shelf...

[colour=#ff4080]Fluttershy frantically zoomed from house to house in Ponyville. When she had heard what had happened at the library, she had flown as fast as she ever had to get there. After seeing the damage, she began searching for Twilight and Spike, but had been unable to find them, She'd started questioning ponies she saw on the street, but nopony she had talked to had been able to tell her where the pair had gone. Actually, many of the ponies she had spoken to were so surprised at the normally shy pegasus' rapid questions that they hadn't been able to get an answer out. [/colour] [colour=#ff4080]Fluttershy had nearly convinced herself that her friends were badly injured, and she had begun to fly to the hospital. Then, she spotted a familiar purple form leaving Sugar Cube Corner. With a gasp, she stooped like a falcon and grabbed her friend in a crushing hug. "Oh Twilight!" she cried out, "I was so worried about you! When I heard what happened I flew right here, but nopony would tell me where you were, and I got so scared for you! Where's Spike? Is he OK? What about Owlowiscious and Peewee? PLEASE tell me everypony is all right!" By this point Fluttershy was shaking the unicorn by her shoulders in her desperate attempt to get answers.[/colour]

I will be mostly AFK for this weekend at Canterlot Gardens. I may slip in a couple of cast posts from my tablet, but otherwise I won't be around.

As the door to the zebra's cottage opened, a grey streak shot between Fluttershy's hooves and leaped onto her back. "Good morning, Zecora!" Fluttershy said with a smile. She then turned her head to rub a cheek against the fox on her back. "And hello to you too, Bright Eyes! I hope you're not getting into too much trouble with Zecora!" she teased. Foxes were known to be mischief makers; the brighter they were, the more trouble they got into. Fluttershy trotted into the exotically decorated hut with Bright Eyes along for the ride. "Oh, I'm sure he's fine," she said to Zecora, "But, um... I'd just feel terrible if I missed something before, and I just wanted to give him a check up... um, if that's ok..."

Our resident pony toy expert has spoken. End thread

That's probably a G3 toy. I think that's the Gen where Cheerilee was Scootaloo's sister. Remember that a LOT of the names in FiM are recycled from previous pony toys.

Sorry for the delay. This app is close, but I need to ask one more thing: Your cutie mark story is a little hard to follow. It almost feels like the pool-playing is the focus, but really it's the father / son bonding at the pub. If you can re-word this to make it clearer, we can get this character approved.

Boomerang is the cable network in the UK that plays ponies. Completely different from Cartoon Network's Boomerang channel. http://www.boomerangtv.co.uk/

Fluttershy watched anxiously as the blue and the red pegusii ascended. The two did not seem interested in her wing calisthenics, and were going right into a distance flight. Rainbow Dash was never one for caution, no matter the warnings, and Tobias seemed to be getting caught up in her enthusiasm. The yellow pegasus drifted through the air a bit until she found a good thermal. She used the rising column of air to gain altitude and follow the the two recuperating ponies. She knew she was still not a strong flyer, but she was working on it. The thermal made the altitude much easier to achieve without tiring herself out. If this was to be a 'long distance' flight like Rainbow had said, she'd need all her energy to keep up with the speedy mare. She finally came abreast of the airborne pair, hoping that Rainbow Dash hadn't gotten impatient waiting for her. "Um, I'll follow you, if that's OK," she said to them.

Actually, I think there's a lot here that would work in the Mane RP. The one problem I see here is the history around his cutie mark. Generally, we assume that a pony gets their cutie mark during their foalhood. Your back story seems to imply that he was an adult who was out on his own for several years before getting his. You should adjust his cutie mark story to make it earlier in his life. Maybe something about a visit to a bar or a brewery as a foal that inspired him (but that's just a suggestion). Now, just because he has his cutie mark, he could still not know quite what to do with himself. So the meeting with his friend could still happen the same way, they'd just have already been interested in brewing. If you can make these adjustments to the application, we'll see about moving it up to approval.

Snips looks upward at the rising flames in horror. This wasn't supposed to happen, he'd been trying to help!! He tried to struggle to his hooves, but the magical exertion from the unfamiliar spell had drained him, and he flopped back to his belly. Snails had seen what was happening, and tried to levitate a bucket of water, but ended up missing, hitting Haywire. The poor filly that had started this looked like she was in shock as well. Finally, Miss Cheerilee and one of their hosts ran in, and started setting up a line to throw water on the fire. Since Snips was lying close to the burning tree, he ended up getting drenched from the falling water. That, finally, gave him the the motivation to struggle to his hooves and get back out of the way. He looked up into the tree again, seeing blackened branches and withered apples, still smoking. The colt slumped to the ground again, tired, wet, and with tears forming in his eyes. Even without Miss Cheerilee's calls for 'no magic,' Snips had no desire to use any magic right now. He loved magic, but this was enough to make him regret even being a unicorn. Darnit, he'd only been trying to help...

You mean like the package that says that Applejack is married to Big Macintosh, and Applebloom and Granny Smith are her kids? (Actually, that might be a booklet, but still.) But no, if the toy was show accurate, the packaging wouldn't bother me either way.

Awesome Krypt. I was in Toys R Us today, and they had a spot reserved on the shelf for this set, but it wasn't there yet. Now I'll have to check like every day. Nightmare Moon must be MINE.

This first pic is my bookshelf in my bedroom. That's the 3 3-pack miniature sets, the 3 special edition sparkly blind bags, the Celestia / Luna set, and a set with the brushable-sized ponies with molded mane and tail. These are my two t-shirts from We Love Fine: And finally, my Mane-6 blind bags watching from atop my monitor.

I think that was left in the script from Faust's original draft. Lauren has said that she conceived of Cadance as a Unicorn, but it was changed after she was no longer on the project. The toy division probably had to do with that change IMO. As for pegacorn... yeah, it sounds like a snack food. In at least one fan-fiction I've read, they used pegacorn to describe a pony that was a born from 1 pegasus and 1 unicorn parent. They couldn't fly, and had very weak magic.

Fluttershy continued to pace, in spite of Angel's ever more insistent tugs on her mane. She was brought to a sudden stop, however, by a blue hoof shoved into her snout. "Hey! Don't you worry, they're going to be just fine! You know why? Cause I'm Rainbow Dash! And I'm on the job!" "Oh, but Rainbow Dash, what if..." She didn't get a chance to finish as the other pegasus zoomed off, returning quickly with a Daring Do pith helmet. Fluttershy had always admired her friend's bravado, and she felt encouraged that Rainbow was so confident. However, Rainbow seemed convinced this would be an 'adventure' like in her Daring Do books. Fluttershy had read one of the books at Rainbow's urging, but some of the parts had just been too scary. She much preferred the romance novels that she and Rarity traded. Fluttershy really hoped this wasn't going to be an 'adventure'. Rainbow flew again again, leaving her rainbow streak, before once again returning, sheepishly asking where to go. Pinkie had produced a pink hat from somewhere, and seemed as eager for adventure as Rainbow Dash. Applejack, at least, was being practical about the whole thing. "Yes, we have enough hats, now let's go! Come on Fluttershy." "Oh... OH!" she said, realizing belatedly that she had to lead the other ponies to Rarity's cart. "Angel, which way?" she asked the bunny on her back. Angel pointed out the direction, and Rainbow and Pinkie took off. As the pink pony ran off, Fluttershy noticed a green head poke out of the poofy hair in her tail. "Gummy? Pinkie, wait!" Fluttershy called out, then ran to chase after her. Well, if she had to have an adventure, at least she had her friends with her.

Any updates to this application?

Hey Allura, it looks like you have the foundation for your dragon here, but I'm confused on a few issues. About her parents: Are they on some kind of expedition? The sentence is kind of confusing. Where are they going that they couldn't take a flighted teenager with them? How is it relevant that they left on her birthday? Occupation: You say she is good at 'retrieving' things. Do you mean that she's good at flying with loads, or finding things and returning them? You also mention her working for EPS, but put her occupation as dock worker. Has she changed jobs, or is the dock job the same job? Finally, I think she needs some clarification in her goals. She wants to 'help the needy.' Do you mean helping poor creatures? How does she want to do this? Are you talking about her building like a soup kitchen? A clinic? A shelter? If you can clear up some of these questions, we can get Noble closer to approval.

Most FoE RPs can't be done in Crossovers because Crossovers still has the same age and content restrictions that Mane RP does. Hence, no gunplay or violence. That's why Xiee was asking to place it under Free-For-All.

Snips followed Snails and Remington over to one of the apple trees, eyeing it suspiciously. Seriously? They wanted them to buck apples out of the tree? The old tree towered over Snips' short, bulky frame. He thought he had about a foal's chance in Ghastly Gorge of actually kicking the tree hard enough to make it drop even one apple. "Should we surround the tree and kick it or stack up on each other and kick, or what?" asked Snails. "Maybe, " Snips answered, then added "But couldn't we, uh, use magic to pull them down or something?" His question was uncertain, because his control on his magic seemed to change from day to day, and he knew Snails was about the same. Remington was already kicking at the tree, however, but not making much progress. Shrugging, Snips turned his tail to the tree. He reared up on his front legs and gave the tree a kick with one rear hoof. Nothing. He tensed, then readied a second kick with both hooves. As they made contact with the bark, Snips felt a shock go though his whole body. His front legs gave out, and he fell on his face. Grumbling and spitting our dirt, he got back to his hooves just as Remington zoomed in and gave the tree a kick on the run. "Hehe, yeah! I got one!" Snips watched in stunned confusion as an apple hit the red pegasus on the head. Snips ran over as the colt hit the ground, but then heard the snores. Remington had gone to sleep again. How this pony didn't have a cutie mark of a pillow or a bed or something Snips didn't know. "Do ya think we should wake him up?" he asked Snails. Just then, something caught his eye. A couple of trees away, Haywire was pulling a bunch of fireworks out of her bags. Snips thought to himself, How does that filly slip so much stuff past Miss Cheerilee? All of his fireworks had been taken away! She was, like, a master mischief-maker or something. Still, it probably wasn't a good idea to set them off under a tree. Snips stepped toward the filly. "Haywire, I don't think that's such a good ide..." he began, but it was too late. Two of the rockets shot through the tree top and went off with an adult-attracting bang. Snips didn't immediately see where the others had gone, but he did see that some of the leaves of the tree had caught fire. That wasn't good. Those farmer mares probably wouldn't be happy if somepony damaged one of their trees. He looked around for some water or some buckets or something, but didn't find anything nearby. Then, he got an idea. "Hold on!" he called out, "I've got an idea!" Snips was thinking of a candle. You put a candle out by blowing on it, right? You didn't need water to put out a candle. Maybe the same thing would work here? The colt closed his eyes. He'd never tried anything like this before, but it was worth a shot. Focusing his magic into his horn, like he'd been taught, he imagined a big gust of wind. For a while, nothing happened. Sweat started to drip down his face as he concentrated. He was so focused, he couldn't hear anything going on around him. He was about to give up, when suddenly he felt a rush of air move past him toward the tree. He flopped to his belly, exhausted, but smiling. "I did it!" he said weakly. He opened his eyes, finally, looking to see if the fire had gone out. His eyes went wide when he saw that the fire hadn't gone out, it had gotten BIGGER! Uh oh...

Made a stop at Toys R Us today, still looking for the big set with Nightmare Moon. No NMM yet, but they did have the mini 3-packs, so I now have the Apple Family set Also, for those fans that have them nearby, Meijer stores are also carrying the mini packs.

Fluttershy stood at the edge of the Everfree Forest. She shuffled her hooves nervously, gazing into the darkness that always seemed to loom among the spooky old trees. Logically, she knew that the path she was to take was safe. She also knew that she had many friends that would help her should something happen. But sometimes it was tough to overcome her natural fear. The Everfree was just... SPOOKY. The yellow pegasus took a few deep breaths. Then, with an audible squeak, she forced her hooves to move. Once she passed under the canopy, her resistance eased a bit, but her head still snapped around at any sudden noise. After several minutes, she finally worked herself up to a trot down the path. Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief when she reached her destination. Surveying the hut before her, she tired to imagine why she had thought it scary the first time she'd come here. Well, a lot of that fear had come from the misconceptions she'd had about the zebra that lived here. Now that she knew that zebra much better, any fear of her home had disappeared. Fluttershy approached the carved door, then lightly rapped it with a hoof. "Um, Zecora? Are you home?" she called out, politely.

It's all my fault! Sorry, RP motivation been lacking recently, but S & S are still going to be there.

Bonfire watched as Shining Armor went to check on the obviously shocked Princess. After taking a moment to catch her breath, the Princess' voice once again filled the underground chamber. Bonfire's ears laid back involuntarily from the sheer volume of her question. "Your Highness," he answered, "These are the palace's holding cells. Ponies who have broken the law in the city are held here for trial. There is a field in place to prevent unicorns from using magic while they are in custody. I don't understand the spell myself," he continued, "but the Captain and I are affected as well." He shivered a bit at that. He knew that this area was not any colder than the space outside the door, but it was hard to convince his body of that. Bonfire gestured toward the unicorn in the cell with his head. "This recruit somehow sneaked through the palace's security last night. We were attempting to question him before your arrival, Princess." Bonfire was perfectly polite to Luna, but he thought to himself 'Now if you'd just go away, we could continue...'

I would not be surprised if there was a huge brony presence at Dragon*Con. I've been there several times, and there is room for multiple sub-fandoms to have their own space.
