  1. "Now go we content, to liberty, not to banishment." - William Shakespeare, As You Like It.
  2. Ever hear the one about how Luna had to take over for a day, when Celestia wanted to see if she could run all the way through the palace garden before she finished singing 'I'm a little teapot', and she tripped over a frog on a unicycle?
  3. Hemingway has also said that a short story should be like an iceberg: What you see is actually only the very tip, which only hints at all there really is to it. Here's a few more: "Aren't you overdoing it?" asked Pinkie. Celestia smiled. "Never in my lifetime." "Who knew Apple Jack could curtsey?" ... oh, pony, these things are addictive.
  4. I recently learned something interesting: Ernest Hemingway was once dared to try and tell a complete story in only six words. According to a legend, it was a bar bet. He wrote: "For sale: baby shoes, never used." Hemingway is said to have considered it his best work. So, do any of you ponies think you could write MLP: FiM fanfiction in just six words? I tried, and this is what came out: "Twilight," said Spike, "happy Mother's Day."
  5. Don't forget the cousin who runs a fancy restaurant over at Manehattan: Bon Apetit.
  6. I'm the element of Indecisiveness. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have made the font that color. Maybe red would've been better. Or light blue. Or should I have used a different font? Or maybe...
  7. I agree entirely. The fic really seemed to have minimal connection to the characters. There was no emotional build up, just "Hi there!" *hack* *slash* If you changed the names some other details, like the references to cutie marks, the whole thing could almost be about anyone, from any series. When the actual gore started, my brain just shut down and refused to associate the text with the characters I knew, because the storytelling hadn't given me enough ground to believe that they could really behave like that. At that point it all became more or less just a string of words without any real meaning to me.
  8. A thought that occurred to me while surfing YouTube and coming across this song: 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree' by KT Tunstall http://youtu.be/PQmDUEv939A What song would you like to see as a pony vid?
