It's worth trying I suppose, but personally I reckon the format would lose more than it would gain by being broadcast live. My personal suggestion would be to make it known earlier what guest/topic is going to be featured, that way people could send in questions, but wouldn't have to turn up at a specific time to feel like they had participated. It'd also avoid all the inevitable SNAFUs that live shows are subject to...

Still, as I say, worth a try definitely.

So yeah see ya... Now I'm going to toss the ball around with my friend Denny.

Instead of joining in on the forum? You're TEARING ME APAAHT SHOPDAWHOP!

Animal, I'd spend all my time switching between being a peregrine falcon and a hedge fund manager. That and reenacting scenes from Manimal...

The ability to levitate yourself or others (one at a time)?

I know that feeling, but the difference between us is that you're a genuinely good artist, while I'm just a dilettante who occasionally gets lucky. XD

And Phil, you see how worried that sandcat in your post looks? That's cos he can see the army of EGG.PLANTS marching forth in their snazzy black uniforms. He knows his days are numbered, and is worried that he may even have gone insane, as there's no way EGG.PLANTS could ever march. Especially not in such a disciplined and menacing manner. So, as he contemplates his own mortality, and the eventual decay of function that takes hold of every creature with a brain, he knows the superiority of our vegetative overlords, who wait in silent judgement. Then, a shocking realisation overtakes him, it isn't the judgement of the EGG.PLANT that he fears, not even the judgement of his fellow sandcats, but his own self-judgement. He knows that there is no way he can ever achieve the lofty ambitions he held as a sand-kitten, and he sees that innocent bright young creature looking at what he has become. The worst thing is that his younger self wouldn't be angry, or even sad. Those could be dealt with. No, all he sees in those bright orbs is quiet disappointment. He knows that any arguments of the realities of life, will fall on deaf ears, but still he must try. So he opens his mouth, stares directly into that quiet, mournful gaze and says:

"SOOO CUUTE!"

I think that's what he meant to say, Phil...

How dare you take my words and twist them for your own ends. The same fate awaits you that is held aside for all spin doctors, journalists, politicians and radio sports commentators. You think I won't find you? You're probably right, but maybe I don't have to. Someday the buzzards will descend, and when they do, I'll probably be kind of upset, after all, you seem like a pretty nice chap, and I'm probably getting way too worked up over a word, but then I'll remember what you did today and laugh.

The artist that have been shouted out on here or featured are extremely talented. Artists like Brian, Krypt, Popcorn Puff, I'd expect to be on the podcast, not me.

And Phil, you see how worried that sandcat in your post looks? That's cos he can see the army of aubergines marching forth in their snazzy black uniforms. He knows his days are numbered, and is worried that he may even have gone insane, as there's no way aubergines could ever march. Especially not in such a disciplined and menacing manner. So, as he contemplates his own mortality, and the eventual decay of function that takes hold of every creature with a brain, he knows the superiority of our vegetative overlords, who wait in silent judgement. Then, a shocking realisation overtakes him, it isn't the judgement of the aubergine that he fears, not even the judgement of his fellow sandcats, but his own self-judgement. He knows that there is no way he can ever achieve the lofty ambitions he held as a sand-kitten, and he sees that innocent bright young creature looking at what he has become.

Hope you like the pics I did for you old chap, and that your day is significantly more entertaining than mine

I'm a "joke-religion-swinger", meaning I follow hilarious religions (FSM, Potterism, Modern-Bible¹) for about a week. But in all of those that I or friends make up, I always make it a rule to make the egg word illegal, instead to be replaced with aubergine. It never really effects us (we don't particularly like aubergines), but it's still a rule. In retrospect, I could probably remove the first sentence. F'naaa.

¹: Thinking about how different the Bible would be if it took place today, and acting out random scenes from it with the modern twist.

Have you considered Discordianism?

He was about to call Americans idiots!

I don't eat egg.plants anyway so...yeah... :V there's no way I'd carve one..

I was also very surprised to see I was in the creative works section!

Why would that surprise you? You're fricken' awesome! I know if I had money I'd be ordering a pair of MLP shoes from you... I still might when I get my next paycheck

Interesting note: Noctriix had no idea what the lines I got from him were for. I just sent him the four lines, told him "GIVE ME THIS!" and he nailed it. Like a pro.

Hopefully people think it was worth it; I'm still not sure whether I should have done the whole "script" thing... but I had a laugh writing it. Hopefully I didn't alienate anyone with my bizarre attempt at comedy. If I did; sorry.

Also: "Second anniversary of the airing of the original airing"?!? You see, this is why I shouldn't be unscripted...

I prefer egg.plant, but you know...I'm American. :V

And wrong. Do you wish for me to restate my camelopard argument?

Was browsing the forums and glimpsed this.

Seems like a pretty minor thing, but I thought it may as well be brought to staff attention, in case it's an easy fix.

I'm browsing the site on a Windows & computer via Google Chrome, in case that's relevant.

My audio keeps cutting out

The question stands: aubergine or Aubergine?

The former... wait no! The latter! AUBERGINE!

Also, I could listen to you say betenjan all day, Tenkan....

Beeetenjaan!

The section on what tools I use is already out of date by the way; Kryptchild has converted me to the ways of Paint Tool SAI, and I'm loving it!

EDIT: Did you cut my plug for my upcoming Aubrey Jean animation project... or did I just completely forget to mention it? I'm guessing the latter.

This may be relevant to those following this topic...

http://www.canterlot.com/topic/12111-script-editors-voice-actors-wanted/

So, I've been working on a little project for the past few weeks, and I've got to the point where I want to actually start making it.

To do this I'm going to need two things: some voice talent, and someone to look over my script and tell me what needs changing.

In terms of voice actors, I'm going to need an AppleJack, an Apple Bloom, and two people to voice original characters.

For the first OC, the VA should either be male and British (or good at faking the accent). I want this character's voice to be melancholic and highly expressive.

The second OC is female, and a much smaller part. The main thing I'm looking for is an authoritative tone.

Finally, I should warn all interested parties that this project involves aubergines and my bizarre sense of humour. If you can tolerate both and want to help out, please let me know in a PM.

[colour=#0000ff]Which ones do you not recognise? I can tell you the ones I like the best out of them.[/colour]

Harry Harrison

Sue Grafton

Dashiell Hammett

Anne McCaffery

Carole Nelson Douglas

Patricia Cornwell

Janet Evanovich

Elizabeth Moon

...which is actually the majority of the names you listed.... but my point stands. Recommend me some reading!

Aaron Dembski-Bowden is absolutely genius.

J.R.R. Tolkien

Chris Wraight

Gav Thorpe

... how is Dan Abnett not on that list?!?

Flash is like art with cheat codes.

I knew there was a reason I did all my drawing in Flash...

If you're still taking requests, could you please draw my OC Prof. Ashen Smirk absorbed in his research? Here's a link to my RP app: http://www.canterlot.com/topic/10903-professor-ashen-smirk-final/

Hey, love your artistic style, and I'd be honoured if you'd draw my OC, Professor Ashen Smirk.

So far, all the pics I have of him feature his ever-present grin, but if you were to skim-read my app (I don't expect you to actually go through the whole thing, unless you enjoy my somewhat rambling prose), you'd see that in the past he used to be a bit more... volatile. With that in mind, I'd love to see what you can come up with for an angry/grumpy Professor Smirk. I just hope there are still slots left...

As Nemmy said, it's very gratifying to see more British bronies here

If you want to specifically say hi, to other brits, here is a good place to do so.

Nice list; the names I recognise pretty much ensure that I'll check out the ones I don't.

Sand cats are nothing compared to the cat rouge!

He's wearing rouge? It's not very obvious... wait. Did you perchance mean... rogue?

Would he be asking if he did?

Thankfully, the younger pony seemed to have forgiven Ashen for his lapse in memory, and even tried to casually drop his own name into the conversation. Ashen was even prepared to forgive the doctor for failing to do so in a natural way. [colour=#008080]There’s enough awkward on this side of the conversation that I really shouldn’t be judgemental of that sort of thing. [/colour]He automatically pushed the name out of his head as unimportant, before suddenly realising that this was wasting an opportunity to practice being approachable... but it was too late. The name was gone. Fortunately the other pony was still talking, so Ashen had some time to try and remember it…

[colour=#ff6666]“My parents retired a couple years ago, so I now run the Canterlot Army Historical Society. I’ve spent much time relocating our stuff to a spot that can actually hold a modest-sized museum, exhibits and all. Everything’s been… heh heh… chaotic, but all things considered, the Society’s doing great!”[/colour]

A memory surfaced at this, a young and hopelessly naïve colt (the professor considered his students to be colts or fillies until they demonstrated some sign of maturity, as of yet none had) with an adolescent obsession with the glories of the military-industrial complex… but no name. [colour=#008080]Blasted memory, earn your keep![/colour]

[colour=#ff6666]“So Professor, how do you plan on getting around in Aquellia? You do realize that the only way of travelling anywhere in Griffon cities is by flying, right?”[/colour]

And now a former student was mocking him. Fantastic. But then he had quite walked into that one; he had no real plans to visit Aquellia, just a vague desire… what in Equestria had possessed him to blurt that out?

[colour=#008080]“Oh, I hadn’t really thought that far ahead. I just thought I might stop by, since I have a month before I am expected to assume my role as a member of the Stalliongrad faculty. You do have a point though Doctor… Span… a mind with a knowledge of military affairs as rich as yours would be the one to spot that flaw. After all, knowledge of the terrain is a key element of strategy.”[/colour]

[colour=#008080]Hah! Any foal could see that problem a mile off. Still, better to flatter him.[/colour]

Professor Smirk’s mouth trailed off as he tried to think of a way to advance the conversation, and his eyes came to the rescue of their stricken comrade. A telltale flash of a blue-grey feather ahead of Doctor Tale in the queue revealed the presence of a somewhat diminutive Griffon. Ashen gestured to the creature and continued.

[colour=#008080]“Well, since there is a Griffon with us in this august assemblage, I may as well...”[/colour]

But before he could get any further, a bouncing ball of pink energy oscillated its way up the line, stopping right in front of the object of Ashen’s attention. On closer inspection, it proved to be a young mare, positively bubbling with sheer energy, and whose face was adorned with a grin even wider than the professor’s.

As he watched in stunned astonishment, the pony proceeded to loudly proclaim her excitement to find a “teensy-weensy” griffon in the line. Even to Ashen’s untrained eye the griffon’s displeasure at this was clear, and he decided to intervene before the effervescent pink pony was mauled, catching the tail end of the Griffon’s introduction as he stepped forward.

[colour=#008080]“Good day, young Razor,” [/colour]the whole remembering names thing was starting to stick. [colour=#008080]“I’m sorry to butt in on your conversation, but I was just chatting with Doctor Pin here, and a topic has come up which I feel could benefit from your input.”[/colour]

He turned to face the indelicate mare and continued. [colour=#008080]“Please accept my profuse apologies for the interruption, miss…?”[/colour]

[colour=#008080]Right, keep this up, Ashen, and soon you’ll know three names. Hers, plus Razor’s and Doctor Flail’s…[/colour]

Maybe you should've read a few pages ago, or did you just read this page?

I'm afraid so. What did I miss?

Maybe I'd like to tenderize it?

Has anyone ever told you that putting a question mark at the end out a statement doesn't automatically make it a question?

I won the challenge.

Looks legit... me and my big mouth. Do you mind if the week's worth of time is done across a month or so?

Let me know what you want drawn.
