@mlpcrazedbronybaolia !ottawabronies Tonight is only the Fanfic panel at N2U. The Brony panel is tomorrow, Saturday, at 2:30 pm. Meetup after. Midli and I are just teaming up to talk fanfic to aspiring and established authors tonight.
-
@djmidli @djmidli !ottawbronies THAT's the opening clip they use? Moondancer asking Twilight to come to the party from the pilot? !ottawabronies
-
@djmidli !ottawabronies Are you going to wear your DJ P0N3 Hoodie?

@djmidli Indeed! !ottawabronies, you're welcome to come out. Just know that the fanfic panel will cover anime first, then our ponies and other fandoms second. Well, hopefully. :P Also, panel may contain adult discussions in terms of writing.
-
@mergemm !ottawabronies I always tend to bristle a little at the 'tell their own stories'. Fanfic still gets a sidelong glance from a lot of quarters, but you can't tell me after reading stuff like Jetfire's "It's A Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door" that it's a silly thing to be doing with one's fandom.
-
@syntaxcapt The comments section of any article is a wretched hive of Parasprites and Manticores. On any newspaper site. There are people paid big bucks to say or do stupid things on all of them. Plus, 4chan trolls.
-
@eaglehooves *snarf* Yeah, people don't get the difference. "It's the same show!" "Oohhh, no it's not." That's like saying the A-Team movie was the same thing as the TV show.
-
@mergemm And the cartoon violence eps (Pinkie Keen and Over a Barrel) both were written by Dave Polsky. He seems to favour the classic Chuck Jones gags like falling pianos and pie fights.
-
@eaglehooves Yeah, you turned out just fine. :D Just as long as you never watched My Little Pony Tales in the 90s. *shudder* They were pretty much humans, even using their hooves to hold things like peashooters and pencils.
-
@eaglehooves We children of the 80s keep saying we turned out fine! :D But all 80s cartoons were like that to some degree. Rainbow Brite had scary moments, Captain N (I think it was that show) had glowing green zombie people with balls & chains marching to the Ghostbusters theme.... Heck, even the Real Ghostbusters had Nightmare Fuel (like the Sandman or the Boogeyman episodes). Oooh, there's a crossover idea. :D
-
@mergemm As to the creative endeavours: Holy crow, do we have people in this fandom who'll create just about anything. Mind you, that's the Sturgeon's Law at work: 90% is still crap, but the 10% that's good is worth dying for. I'm glad to be back in pony fandom, though, because it was where I started 18 years ago (though a much worse writer) and I know the territory, even with new characters to work with.

@mergemm Like I said, there's a reason it's known as "Dream Valley Is Trying To Kill You". Shows from MLP & Friends involved a drought caused by magic (and a forest fire), vicious giant walking plants, every pony turned to glass, Dream Valley frozen over in eternal winter, ponies turned to stone by a rock dog, etc. (Mind you, our heroes certainly took care of villains. If they didn't repent, they usually destroyed themselves. Only the Witches ever got a second shot at the little ponies. :P)
-
@mergemm Yeah, back then it was 'sell toys', with Transformers, GI Joe (for guys), and MLP (for girls). I'm a fanfiction writer. Have been for 18 years. This was the show that started me, back in the 90s. I was terrible (thankfully, they hadn't invented the Internet back then) but learned, and went into anime and television fandoms, doing multiverse & crossovers. Now I'm back in MLP again.
-
@mergemm Well, let's ignore the *original* episode for a second: Escape from Midnight Castle, even though the FiM pilot mirrors that episode in so many ways as a callback. The SHOW MLP and Friends, which ran in the mid-80s was cheap animation, with plenty of errors. There was much more danger back then. One of the taglines in fandom that remembers the old eps is "Dream Valley Is Trying To Kill You". But it's also distinguished by the need for Hasbro to just sell ponies without worrying about animation quality or song quality. Here, see for yourself in the episode Quest of the Princess Ponies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZkJaxHU920

@mergemm Well, I can tell you that I came into the new show because I had been a fan of the 80s show when I was, oh, 8. :P I'm sort of a brony-anomaly in that, but it's interesting to be in a fandom from the ground up like this. Trust me, bronies are not alone. Just go to Fandom bananas and see the 'subcultures' that have evolved around any show. !ottawabronies.
-
@mergemm What will you be talking about and what names will you be using: Net or Real? Plus, are you a fan yourself? !ottawabronies.

!LAbronies : Any Kings fans attending the L.A. "Hockey Fights Cancer" game tonight at the Staples Centre? Ottawa brony here looking to acquire one of the Kings' HCF "Mystery Pucks". Will reimburse for shipping and puck, naturally, plus some extra.

!njbronies: Any Devils fans going to a recent game? Ottawa brony here looking to pick up one of New Jersey's "Hockey Fights Cancer" pucks, assuming the team still has any left for sale.
Saturday, 29-Oct-11 20:11:57 UTC from web -
Sorry, fellow !ottawabronies, but it's unlikely I can take the time to zip down to Chicago any time soon and I'd like to gather up some of these pucks from other teams. It's all for a good cause. :P

!chibronies : !Ottawabronies member here, looking for a Blackhawks fan who'll be going to the United Centre for the game against Columbus on Saturday (or even games after, perhaps). Oct. 29th is your Hockey Fights Cancer Night and there are autographed Blackhawks "Mystery Pucks" for sale. I'm looking to acquire one and will reimburse you for the expenses, shipping, and extra effort. Ottawa Senators still have about fifty remaining from our HFC Night last Tuesday, so I hope the Hawks won't sell out quickly. Can anyone help?

!ottawabronies: Sign you watch too much MLP:FiM: When your mother comments on how clear a day it is, and your immediate first thought is that the weather ponies are doing a marvelous job today!
-
!ottawabronies: I think that while she was at Flight School, Spitfire was probably an All-Amareican. :D

!OTTAWABRONIES YOUR PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT HAS RETURNED TO YOU!!!
-
@djmidli Thanks! But I'm not top-tier. I'm slightly under that. I didn't let the fic sit long enough after finishing and took some bad advice on that ending. That idea cost me a star rating. Plus some readers felt nothing happened. They were right. But I can fix all that if I ever get around to "Knots In the Wings" :D I'm no Jetfire or WTF_HIW. They're the top-tier. I don't write like they do.
-
@djmidli Shame. Although a 'history lesson' on Dream Valley, "Where Everything Wants To Kill You" to Equestria would be fun.
-
@djmidli Ooh. Is there room on the history panel? I'm not a customizer, so I have no interest in that one. !ottawabronies Johnny's Diner seems good to me.
-
@shipomaster !ottawabronies Who's ever going to see it, other than other bronies?
-
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Nightbreak !ottawabronies And here's my Fic link over on FiMFiction.
