My Little Pony General

[Luigitoilet]

sorry to go all off topic here. i'm not gonna argue or debate but i did have something to say. report me if it really bugs anyone:

if fan fiction is so awesome why are you ashamed of it being labelled as such?

all of fiction, and all of art, is based on communication. it's impossible to have a piece of art that is completely devoid of influence. so yes, Star Wars is just The Hidden Fortress, which is just a trillion other stories and legends...but this does not make Star Wars a work of fan fiction. What WOULD, would be if the people of Star Wars built a time machine and went to feudal Japan to pick up General Rokurota Makabe from The Hidden Fortress.

Fan fiction is fiction using trademarked characters and settings written by, presumably, a fan, or someone not in ownership of the trademark and without permission from the trademark holder. this is not a negative term in itself, it's just literally what it is. I understand where Espy is coming from but attacking the term itself is a misguided way of going about it.

Dude, I put Dash on my ignore list a while ago when I realized how much of a racist he was. I only checked his post that he made just now because I saw that it was the only new post in the thread.

I swear, this thread is only active when I'm not looking at it.

I'm not a racist, I hate everything bad. Dragons just happen to be at the top of the list right now.

Leaf is racist?

wat

Pegasus Superiority.
Being a pegasus is like using 40ppp, it's just the best.

 

[Espy Rose]

Iunno, Leaf. Earth ponies are lookin' kinda in the 80ppg gauge if we're gonna do somethin' like this.

 

[Leaf.]

80ppp doesn't exist.
Earth ponies SHOULDN'T exist.


I see what you're getting at.

Shakespeare wrote fanfiction based on real life.
comeatme.

That's called historical fiction.

Umm, I don't remember anyone in this thread saying they were, but there really isn't any reason.

Unless you want to make money off your fanfic, which I believe is illegal under American copyright law.

sorry, that part was just teasing Espy for how defensive he seemed to be about the term . thanks for ignoring the actual serious stuff I said :/

 

[Geoberos]

i's k, since this fanfic thing is a core part of the brony/show culture

the context that this was started was somepony not reading ponyfics because it wasn't canonical.
then a reference is made to other kinds of fiction.
Fiction is fiction. Fan fiction is a fiction of a fiction.
We read what we enjoy, regardless of its canon.
As long it's acknowledged that it's not canon.

Everypony should have their own special hat. But AJ's is still is special about hers in either way.
HAT~.

 

[Gates]

Well I pretty much agree with the "serious stuff" you said. I mean, most of it I kind of already said in my post anyway, like with Star Wars and the general hero archetype and owning the rights to characters and stuff, so I didn't think it was really worth mentioning.

Espy did seem defensive about it, but I think he just needs some more apples.

 

[Espy Rose]

Doesn't make them any more OP, Leafy.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

Woah, all I was trying to say was that I personally find fanfics boring in order to explain why I go on ED with No Fanfic mode. I know some fanfics are good, like most King Arthur stories and the Divine Comedy, but I don't care for fanfics based off of shows I like. I just . . . don't.

 

[john!]

i like fanfics because they gave me luna when faust wouldn't

 

[Leaf.]

LOL That's Phantom's line.



Gates, we're cool though, right? :<

 

[Phantom Gamer]

Good thing for Oct. 22 then, John.

Which I'm super hyped for.
Not really Leaf, since I don't read much for fanfics.
Though I do agree with john.

 

[john!]

is that the luna halloween episode? :D

guess i'll find out if luna is deserving of second-favorite-pony status

Yes it is.

I've got my Luna stuff all ready for when I watch the episode.

Oh, don't worry, that's just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.

[Espy Rose]

Couldn't sleep tonight.
Ponies in my mind.

What do?

 

[Sinister Slush]

Chapter 4.

I haven't slept in 2 days and I can't sleep.
What do?

 

[john!]

you guys are incredible. i got 4 hours of sleep last night and i could hardly make it through the day today... had to take a nap.

 

[Espy Rose]

I have an essay due in 7 hours, Slush. No can do on that Chapter 4.
Besides, have you even read Chapter 3?

 

[Sinister Slush]

Nope, Internet hardly lets me on AIM. And when it does it kicks me in the middle of conversations.

Plus, still sitting on /vp/.

 

[Cherished Doll]

Happy BirthdayNiTE<3
Love youu!!!!


I wish to have a bunny like angel!

 

[EPsilon933]

That's a CRAZY amount of precision. I wonder how long it actually takes to do all that.
I hate patient people, being more patient than me.

 

[AXE 09]

 

[john!]

^ holy crap you guys are amazing! :D

happy birthday nite!

 

[[FBC] Papa Mink]

Happy bday broski.

 

[Espy Rose]

That Rarity thing was pretty legit.
I'd buy another Applejack just to give that a shot. With modeling stuffs, you could even make Applejack a hat.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

That was incredibly awesome, I would do that if I wasn't so impatient, like Leaf said.

Happy Birthday Nitey Nite!

 

[NinjaFoxX]

i make rarity to perfection <3

also happy b'day nite o3o

 

[Espy Rose]

Full song rip of Applejack's stage theme.

[Heartstring]

That's amazing. I wish I could make music like that.



Also happy bday, NiTE~!

 

[Phantom Gamer]

happy birthday nite!

I'm pretty sure they didn't draw & color that, but rather just photoshopped their names on that art.

==
That Rarity hair is too good.
I personally wouldn't do it since it looks pretty difficult for me to do with all that precision and time it takes to complete.
Just like trying to make a quality pony plush.

Lastly Happy B-Day Nite.

Whyyyy is there such good music being released right now?
Whyyyy is throwing money at the screen not generating a CD right now?

 

[Geoberos]

Oh my, I should be subscribing to them instead of waiting for their submission to EqD.
I am (ASHAMED).

Whyyyy are you not downloading them while they're actually providing the link to the download themselves for free?

Also boil perm fixing the mane and tail of my Twilight figurine is-- going okay I guess.
I'm no barber. . .

But. Sunshine and Celery Stalks. (CD)

 

[Leaf.]

Because I want a CD with a bunch of them on there.
Giving them money means more.


Only PPS could make even APPLEJACK have good music.

 

[Zajice]

Every time you bash Applejack, it makes me want to like you less.
