I thought it was weird how there were pirates that looked just like the Apple family.

I have begun The Living Darkness, a celebration of Friendship is Magic season 4, the Doctor Who 50th anniversary, the Christmas season and Matt Smith leaving the programme (less a celebration and more a farewell in that case). The story is about Clearwin, a Unicorn mare living in Ice Draught, a Unicorn settlement more than 1000 years before Twilight came to Ponyville. Right before she is killed, Clearwin finds herself whisked away by a mysterious Earth Pony stallion calling himself the Doctor. They end up in a frozen, ruined Equestria where ponies are hunted by the "Dark Ones". The Doctor and Clearwin must help Twilight Sparkle's resistance against the Dark Ones and discover what happened to Equestria.

I was very glad for this. I was surprised that "Equestria Girls" (I wish the chapter was given a different title) was illustrated by Tony Fleecs; I thought his art was rather strange and off-putting, especially in the Fluttershy Micro-Series chapter, but here it looked just right. Just as oddly, I thought Andy Price's one picture of human Sunset was rather off, like he was drawing ponies for so long that a human face had become difficult for him. I was under the impression that there would be many small stories in the book, but there was only "The Fall of Sunset Shimmer" and "Equestria Girls". I was glad for the wider look at Equestria High, being eager for anything else on that world. I find myself rereading "Equestria Girls" often, I liked it so much.

Friendship can do anything in this setting.

Friendship.

I like that Shining turns out to be quite intellectual as well. It looks like it runs in that family.

This is one of my favorite stories of Micro-Series, at least second after the Rarity chapter. I do see though that writing for Celestia would be a challenge since we see so little of her private life. I think that is why there is so much focus on Inkwell; so much is unknown about Celestia that they needed another character for her to react to rather than focusing solely on Celestia.

I love the book. I caught a small mistake in the summary for "Sleepless in Ponyville" though: It confuses the Headless Horse with the Olden Mare. It's the tale of the Headless Horse, haunting that very forest in search of her rusty horseshoe.

Thank you very much Now to find what to do with Wheat...

I decided that it would be easier for now not to ask so many players. Goops is now only referred to as a beauty product.

Thank you. I ended up removing all references to Rarity though; if this role-play fails to recognise the IDW stories then anything that actually happened to Rarity in "How Rarity Got Her Groovy Back" would not be counted.

Thank you.

Thank you. I lost interest in the other application a while ago, so I'm not sure if I even want to keep it now. I'm only interested in Wheat Grass for the time being. Is it permissible to delete Knight Shade?
