Welcome to Canterlot! Hmm, I must compliment you on your avatar, it would have fitted my username well, but finders, keepers! Anyway, have a great time here!
Ha, a little late here, but welcome to Canterlot! TF2, huh? I'll have to see what you're made of... Anyway, have a nice stay here! Also, engineering makes you immortal and 20% cooler.
Welcome to Canterlot! I'm a small time writer myself (working on my first fanfic), perhaps you can give me some hints sometime! Anyway, nice intro! I wish mine was as good as yours, it would have shown my writing skills, but oh well... Have a great time here!
Haha I have yet to encounter another brony in the wild. I will keep my eyes and ears open to the slightest hint of anything pony, but I am doubting if there are any bronies where I live...
Agreed. The backgrounds can go kind of 2 ways: either the backgrounds are all happy and dandy with everyone living happily, or one or more of the characters could have a sad background (i.e. parents dying). I'm very curious as to what the backgrounds will be! Also, the C-Mark Crusaders need their cutie marks!
Fellow Rainboomer, let me offer my deepest condolences to you as well. I haven't lost any of my uncles yet, and I can't imagine life without them... May MLP bring you joy eternal!
Welcome to Canterlot! Have a nice stay and have a good day! But I'm going to add more to this since that seems a little lacking. I have lot my share of relatives over my relatively few years, I know what you feel. Don't let it get you down too much!
