Sooo... is that a yes? :!:

Bump, since this has been up for a while. No worries, I won't continue to abuse bumps; but I am still curious to see if there's anyone here who might be interested in this. I could really use the help. Please forgive any annoyance I may have caused.

@Rosewind Oh? Glad to hear it! I've already sent the recipe in a message to your account, actually. Hope you like it! If anyone else is interested, I suppose I could give it to you, as well - I have it in wordpad now, so it's a simple matter of copy/paste.

About Myself: I live in Illinois, in the midwest USA. My choice of activities can be fairly broad as far as preference, but usually I find myself coming back to things such as: Writing, and also proofreading/editing; Baking, I make some of the best darn banana nut bread you'll ever taste; Video games, preferably with an actual person to match up against; and of course, conversation, which can encompass everything from movie reviews to philosophical discussion to imaginative idea brainstorming sessions. I especially like the latter. xD How I found Canterlot.com: By googling for MLP forums! How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: Well actually, I didn't start by watching the show; at least not directly. I started off by finding a crossover video series on YouTube called 'Turnabout Storm' - I was into a game called Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney at the time, and ended up finding a crossover between that and MLP:FiM. I was skeptical at first, but after watching it for a while I became quite interested, started digging deeper into the community... and the rest is history. ^^ My favourite main cast pony/s: AppleJack,Miss Rarity,Twilight Sparkle P.S: I usually like Twilight Sparkle for her quirky personality and spirit, but the rest are great to watch, as well. Rarity is dramatic without being a snob, bringing a huge breath of fresh air for me, and Applejack has a very good balance of traits and morals; her Element is the one I identify with most, too. Hell-o there, everyone! I would like to start off by thanking miss Rosewind for reminding me of my manners and telling me to go make an introductory post for myself, before I did anything else (like ask for help on a project). Well, let's see here... My bronification came some months ago, and in that time I've continued to dig deeper and deeper into the community surrounding MLP:FiM. Most often, I go by the same name on a popular MLP fanfiction site, www.FiMfiction.net . I am still in the process of exploring the vast depth of stories, blogs, forums and people involved, and so far it has been quite a fulfilling experience for me; I am proud to say that I have received almost nothing except unconditional respect and friendship from everyone(read: everypony) that I've met and worked with thus far. I look forward to getting to know you all in the same way, and hope that I can present myself as a respectable member of your community. Here is the project help request I mentioned, in case anyone is interested.

Ah... you're right, I apologize. Thank you. I'll create a proper introductory post tomorrow, when I'm not so tired.

Hello, everyone! This is a formal request for assistance to work on a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Gamecube) Crossover / Alternate Universe fic with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It will be Epic-class, with at least 30 full-length (8-10,000 word or so) chapters - not counting interludes, prologue, and other fluff. It will take place in the MLP universe, though with several places and ideas taken from TTYD and applied to it. Most of the characters should be quite familiar; I'm trying to avoid too many OC's or anything like that if I can. It will star the entire Mane 6 for most of the active group, along with a curveball or two for good measure, and all four main villains. I'm making this post because, honestly... I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with everything right now, and I just can't seem to summon up the mental energy to work on it most of the time. Thing is, I really do want to do it - words cannot describe how excited and inspired I was when I first had this idea, and everything just seemed to click into place perfectly between the two plots. But, I guess my enthusiasm kinda faded after a while... so I've been procrastinating on it, horribly. Here's the thing, though; I've found that I can almost always work much easier and faster when I have someone with me, helping along. I had some people before - good ones, too - but they're almost all busy doing other things right now. And so, I thought I would put the word out that I have this fic in the works, and I am looking for a full-blown co-author to help me see it through to completion. Applicants should have; --> Prior knowledge of the Paper Mario: TTYD plotline & universe, as well as a very strong enthusiasm for it - I need someone who shares my passion for the game and its plot, as that will help me immensely when it comes to inspiration to get this thing written. Plus, it'll save me plenty of time and trouble explaining things. This isn't a complete deal-breaker, though, since I can still explain the plot and ideas (which I will be doing anyway); the real thing I'm looking for is inspiration, thus I need as much spirit and enthusiasm as I can get. --> A decent amount of regular free time you can take without stress. I understand if you have other things you must do or work on, of course, but it's pretty much a given that without being able to put in time, very little is gonna get done. I am running on GMT -06:00 (Central USA) time, and I am usually on during most of the afternoon and evening; I'm on at night, too, but I will be somewhat distracted then - I can usually work, though. --> Good communication skills - and not just being a cool, easy-to-get-along-with person (which helps too), but I want to stay in regular contact; that means letting me know if you have something going on, if you can't come for whatever reason, and staying available on Skype as much as possible. --> Aggressive enthusiasm - nothing makes me happier, or cuts through my procrastination better, than seeing people come to me directly instead of waiting for me to contact them. --> Decent writing skills - it goes without saying that you should have a good grasp of grammar and proper word use, and preferably some prior experience in proofreading or writing yourself. Please keep in mind that I am not just looking for an idea guy, spellchecker, proofreader, editor or anything common like that; I'm looking for a partner, whom I can count on to provide me with regular support and inspiration for the fic, yet still sternly hold me accountable for procrastinating and keep me on the straight and narrow. If anyone is interested in joining me in this endeavor, please either reply here, send me a PM, or just contact me on Skype (account name is 'umbranoth'), and we'll go from there. I'll probably start by getting to know you, first, just having a friendly back-and-forth and discussion - and if I like what I see, you'll probably get the job! And so, any Paper Mario: TTYD fans out there who felt that the plot didn't get enough justice, want to see an epic crossover between that and the land of Bronydom, or simply want to take part in writing something fun and awesome - give me a call! My door is open, and I am in no rush. Looking forward to meeting potential co-authors! ^^
