The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[CoffeeGrunt]

Third chapter down. I think if this actually gets accepted on ED, I'll post like a chapter a week, and piss everyone off.

That's how I roll, seems to please most people...except those who seem to want one daily...

 

[Rykon Zero]

I managed that two summers ago. Great fun.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

You wrote MLP fanfic two years ago? :S

Sometimes this artist is meh, sometimes he is pretty amazing...

 

[Rykon Zero]

Pah! No, I wrote GT fanfiction. With pictures.

Looks the same...almost.

Great job Toronado! But I'm sure you could have made it even better. Hey, maybe next time?

Whaaat happened to that G36??? I can't unseee!

Sometimes this artist is meh, sometimes he is pretty amazing...

Kinda like me...



Well... yhm...if someone wants to know something about BF3 beta PM me. I have it, so I can answer questions.


EDIT:
HUGE update from BC.

Spoiler

9/28/11: UPDATE TIME! First of all, BroNYCon was awesome, but I'll talk more about that another time. Today, I wanted to share with you one of the problems that can arise when writing something over a long period of time.

Now, awhile ago, you may remember a side character that got a bit of how own arch. Soaren's story really climaxed during the execution scene, and after that I really didn't know what else to do with him. I asked myself "What would I do in that situation?", and basically went from there. In the end, it was one of my proudest moments as a writer AND one of the ones I most regret.

Why, you ask?

BECAUSE I *censored* KILLED HIM. GOD DAMNIT, WHY DID I WASTE SUCH A POWERFULLY DEVELOPED CHARACTER. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!?

Ahem. What I'm trying to say is, I let Soaren play his role and then let him fall to the side. As far as I knew at the time, that was the end of his story. To tie this back to the original topic, the problem that writers can run into is a deep, deep sense of regret and self-hatred at wasting resources like that, and this can sometimes be seen as 'retcons' when the regret over a given situation is so strong that you try to wave your hands around and pretend it never happened.

Now, I'm not saying I'm going to retcon Soaren's death, but I'd also like to point out that you never saw him die. I've seriously thought of three or four different plot roles he'd be perfect to fill, and I'm getting pretty tired of hating myself for it. But, as you've gotten used to by now, you'll just have to wait a few weeks and see.

Oh, on the topic of waiting a few weeks and seeing, stay tuned for Chapter 16. I *think* I just broke through the big thing that was stopping me, and once it's released I'll go into more detail on that. If it's anything like the other chapters now, it should just write itself for the remainder of it.

^Um, spoilers.

Whaaat happened to that G36??? I can't unseee!

The magazine size is a little bit off isn't it

 

[unit-one]

^Um, spoilers.

I'm sorry about that =( (fixed)

The magazine size is a little bit off isn't it

Yeah, this makes the picture even sadder...

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

I know BronyCray's feel so bad...

 

[Wiegert]

I'm sorry about that =( (fixed)

No worries, plus I'm interested to know what BC has planned in relation to Soaren. Hopefully part 16 will be uploaded fairly soon as well.

I can almost see how he is struggling with the story... feels bad.

He said the the part 16 will be uploaded in weeks.
He still has time before "real" season 2 episodes will be aired. So if he will upload a new chapter before that, then he will keep his promise. If he will fail to deliver in time, then... well, we will still love him ^_^

 

[Tornado]

But wait:

Spoiler

I thought Soaren's body was found. How else would Big Mac have known to have the combined honour guard/rank advancement ceremony after his death? The one that caused Rarity to have a nervous breakdown after she realized what she had done? And where the hell would he have been while Rainbow Dash was busy punching faces off and all that mess? I know it hasn't been that long since Spitfire's death, but still.

What class was that for? Media or something else?

Public Speaking. Again.

And you don't sound like a typical American either.

Not sure what mean.

Looks the same...almost.

I literally cut my hair Tuesday morning before I left for school. I never said I had any creativity.

 

[Rykon Zero]

Changed... Very little actually. Mostly grammar. Anypony feel like reading it over?

 

[Cowboys965]

*Watches episode* 0.0

 

[Akira GT]

I sing a song....
I blame the computer for the bad audio quality.. but I did really mess up the 1st chorus completely but I think its ok (but it isn't my best work by a long shot) give it a little bit before it starts to get good

 

[Racedude]

*Watches episode* 0.0

Embrace it. Resistance is futile.

 

[Cowboys965]

Embrace it. Resistance is futile.

NOOOOO! *Watches Top Gear* Oh, I feel better now. No urge.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

I think we might have another brony on the thread soooon~!

 

[Cowboys965]

I think we might have another brony on the thread soooon~!

Nope.

 

[Brando-K]

Morning bronies.

@Toro, I'm not sure what I meant either, some Americans were just on the news and you sound like them.

@Potentialbrony, There's no shame in liking the ponies. (Shame only comes from some of the fan art and fanfics.)

 

[Racedude]

NOOOOO! *Watches Top Gear* Oh, I feel better now. No urge.

Now you can have both...

Nope.

Well in that case...

Ahh... Fresh air.

Have to admit though I did get a kick out of those

But ponies are just not my thing

It wasn't just implied, they outright said it:

Spoiler

&#8220;Suicide.&#8221; Big Mac was staring into his cup, his forehead supported by one hoof. &#8220;Nopony even thought about it until after we found him, but that pony you executed&#8230;that was his old teammate.&#8221; He shook his head and drained his cup again, letting the empty vessel fall to the table. &#8220;I can&#8217;t even imagine what he felt after he saw&#8230;that.&#8221;

Nope.

You know you want to....

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Y'know, the more spoilers I read for TNTNE, the less I wanna read it.

I stay solely to heartwarming or funny fics. And now, I stay in my bed, g'night:

 

[Minty]

This is yet another reason G4 ponies are best ponies.

 

[Jim Prower]

Well, to be fair, when there's a giant metal chain around your neck, you tend to be a bit more helpless than when all they've got is a bridle...

 

[Racedude]

Well, to be fair, when there's a giant metal chain around your neck, you tend to be a bit more helpless than when all they've got is a bridle...

And an improvised bridle, more precisely.

 

[Brando-K]

And Progress updated.

AJ would have broken that thing through sheer force of will like Solid Snake did with the handcuffs in MGS2.



Also, G4 AJ is not a complete screwup, so she probably wouldn't have gotten captured in the first place.

It wasn't just implied, they outright said it:

That's what I thought. I recognize the value of having a character with such a strong backstory, but I wouldn't want BronyCray to start slashing 🤬 from previous chapters just to bring them back.

Particularly not that chapter.

Exactly. She kicks trees and apples just fall out of them neatly into a basket. That chain would mean nothing to her. If they were able to get her close enough to it to be captured in the first place.
