The Brony Thread

[JohnLaurain]

I don't actually know of any awesome fan fiction.

Suggestions?

I loved "My Little Dashie." It got me the farthest to crying after reading something in a while. Stay away from Sweet Apple Massacre and Cupcakes, they're really gory, and an all around gruesome story. Other than that, I'm trying to stay away from as many clopfics as possible.

As for fan fiction, I'll probably make something action/adventure or sci-fi. Like cyborg ponies and stuff :3

Fixed that for you.

Past Sins.

Best. Fanfiction. EVER. I read it in one day, took me 6 hours but I couldn't stop reading it, and I regret NOTHING.

I meant suggestions for the fanfic I was going to write. I'm mainly trying to write a sci-fi/adventure fic.

Yay official extended version.

I'm just going to go ahead and leave this here.

So... Can people list some of their favorite MLP:FIM sites? I'll start with:

bronies.memebase.com
fimfiction.net
mylittlefacewhen.com

It's pretty much a given that Equestria Daily will be on a brony's list.
As far as Social Networking Sites, there's PonySquare.

I have a friend at school who would dispute you on that. He claims that EQD is the worst fansite.

Then again, we have a thing of debating each others' website choices just for the sake of doing that. Probably because I'm primarily a Redditor and he uses 4chan. It started with that.

Also, he's opposed to the concept of fanfiction on principle, so there's that too.

For pretty much every single fandom I would agree. However, the brony phenomenon is different, for some weird reason. Some of the stuff is just as good as any fiction novel (and just as long), except the main characters aren't human.

For example, Fallout: Equestria is one of the best fanfictions ever written IMO. It's much longer that any novel should reasonably be, and it's characters are incredibly well developed. Whereas, fandoms like Sonic, or DBZ... well... let's just say that it's not pretty.

All that being said, I'd love to hear his reasoning for not liking EqD. If it's for fanfiction, they have a version of the site specifically for people like that.

In other news, I'm done with school now. Time to start watching season 2.

 

[somerandomkidmike]

Well, the run-time for season 1 and season 2 is almost 24 hours. I'm planning a season 1 and season 2 marathon for when I get time off. I hope this wonderful party can run for 36-48 hours

I plan on having:
-all the MLP: FIM episodes
-Tons of treats, (unfortunately) including baked bads, and a big cake
-fan content, including art, music, videos, etc.
-fan fiction
-copious amounts of pony
-friendship
-decorations

Ideas would be appreciated.

edit: Gaming might be involved for a little while too. What xbox 360 games can be good for a pony party?

90% of all fanfiction regardless of fandom is crap. But it's worth it for the other 10%.

And yeah, he opposes EQD solely because of fanfiction, because even if they have a no fanfiction mode he still considers them soiled by associating with fanfiction. Personally I think he's overreacting.

I'm kinda jelly. I still have 2 weeks.

Figured I might as well post this here. It took me too long for me to not distribute it everywhere.

Where to begin with this one?!

Probably my best piece ever. I've finally gotten used to the tablet, and I really think this looks amazing!

But it also took over 8 hours to complete! Over three days, but that's still a lot!
I looked at some better pony artists and made mental notes about what they did right. You can really become better by looking at good art.

The background is a piece of crap, but it's the first proper one I've ever done. I might forgo the MLP style backgrounds, but I'll try to adapt to them first.

Shading! I love it! It's so much easier to shade with a tablet.


Any thoughts? Things I did well or could improve on? How did you like it?

 

[Specs112]

Obligatory crosspost from EQD.

 

[PianoCube]

I found this video a few days ago. Best pony related video I have seen so far.

Ponibooru is shutting down. This is the end of an era for the brony community. Unless another website picks up the slack, the visual art community of the fandom will have no centralized depository... ='(

Derpibooru should pick up the slack. I've been told that they did a massive transfer of Ponibooru's content, and most of it is over there already.

Oh, btw. I drew this awhile ago. I figure the cubing community will like it somewhat.

I Give Up

I originally had Twilight offscreen saying "Come now, Princess... It's not THAT difficult..." whilst magically holding up a near-solved 6x6 rubik's cube.

I couldn't incorporate it in a way that didn't look retarded, so I settled for this.

I swear, I am totally practicing backgrounds. But right now, they're so bad they would've ruined this image.

Not sure what else to mention here. Potato.
