Anywhere but here.
Fell in love with MLP:FIS despite all my attempts to the contrary, thanks unexpectedly to my Sonic the Hedgehog obsession. What can i say? We're all mad here.

@starshine HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA... excellent point. ;) Clearly, people are just stupid and we can leave it at that. XD
-
@retl Aw, sounds like that guy's a cool professor. I like the ones who really want you to succeed and know that their point at this college is to help you do just that, not just collect a paycheck for talking to morons for a couple hours a day... which is the attitude far too many have. :(
-
@retl Gah, now i'm having trouble keeping up. Right; as a general rule, people don't read fanfics to read about the adventures of people's OCs in a well-known universe, especially if it's clearly just a wish-fulfillment creation for the writer. It's fine to self-insert yourself, but be honest about your faults and for the love of God don't make yourself flawless... or have some stupid little flaw like "I don't think I'm pretty even though all these guys are falling for me" (Bella, from Twilight... but that's less Mary Sue and more This Character Sucketh). But i think that's what you were getting at. XD
-
@starshine Fluttershy? Fluttershy a Mary Sue?! Wow. Just wow.
-
@retl @scribus Fanfic self-insert tends to be a pretty common usage of this trope, admittedly. I say that the ponies in question are no more Mary Sues than Hermione Granger or Kim Possible or (insert just about any well-known character who comes under fire for this here). It's true that Aloysius did come close to the definition, but I agree with Retl's assessment of the situation. Seriously, if i see this accusation used incorrectly one more time someone is going to get hurt.
-
@retl That's probably what would happen to me, too. I had the sidetracking luck more with English teachers than with anyone else, which was awesome. And yes, they did sometimes forget to assign homework. XD
-
@retl Aw man... some profs really shouldn't be teaching in college; i swear they're living on tenure. Glad this one isn't such a twerp. Heh, i had one prof who we could sidetrack into telling crazy wacked-out stories for 3/4 of any given class period. Since it was an easy class, it was way more fun than the course material... XD
-
@scribus Apparently. I picked that up as hearsay from Equestria Forums. They were also trying to label Dash as a Mary Sue after the episode directly before. Seriously? I don't think they even know what the term means.
-
The !Applejack fan club has only 37 members?! That's terrible, considering how far up Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are. Awww, c'mon, people, more Apple lovin'!

@retl Ugh, does not sound like fun (I hated my ultra-dumbed-down freshman English classes - which is bad for a writer to have to say!). Scatter-brained professors can be fun if you're intentionally sidetracking them, but otherwise that can just be annoying...
-
In defense of the gosh-darn owl that everyone has been trying to label a Mary Sue: I'll bet he came from the land of "Legend of the Guardians" meets "Harry Potter" and has been trained in dragon fighting and is on the lam and came to Equestria to escape and to rest for a while. THERE. And it's a little hard for a character whose vocabulary consists of "Who?" to reveal character faults right off the bat.
-
@retl Definite ditto.
-
@retl Sounds to me that at least you know your stuff, and you definitely have the writing skills to pull it off. What class is all this delightful drivel being written for?
-
Is it bad that a really adorable picture of an Easter cake reminded me of !Fluttershy? http://tinyurl.com/3ousye6

@princessluna Thanks, Luna... you might appreciate this from VeryShortStory on Twitter: "My boss asked where I was. "I'm boycotting Mondays." The idea spread. People stayed home. Now we hated Tuesday."
-
A !Spike centric episode? Epic win.
-
Anyone in !Spike who hasn't checked out the current episode yet should make a point of doing so. Lots of enjoyment shall be had.
-
((groans)) Good morning, #everypony... is it seriously that late already? Three-day weekends for the lose if it means a Monday like this...
-
@retl Ugh, bummer. :( I hope the prof gives you a fair shot...
-
@retl YOU CAN DO IT! We believe in you!!! And, if worst comes to worst, my new favorite quote came from someone in a MLP:FIM forum: Being useful is overrated!

@starshine You get that right from the Hub website, right?
-
@thewolverine I have to watch 'em online because we don't have a TV that will get these channels. So, in other words, i'll be haunting Pensivepony's YouTube channel until s/he uploads...
-
@nutterguy YES! For the first time, too! Getting psyched up for it? :)
-
I must be mad; i'm actually contemplating writing a !Sonic / MLP:FIM crossover fanfic. Thoughts? 0.o
-
I have tomorrow off! Organizations that close for Good Friday ftw.
-
@crimefighter Got a favorite !sonic song? And have you seen all those YouTube vids that set Rainbow Dash to Sonic themes? Awesome! XD
