Suitaloo.

@Sereg I don't think any of the the 16 known magazine-exclusive ponies have common Fan Nicknames, since they unfortunately aren't well-known at all (save for Léon, who's already named officially).

@storyyeller Here are some Expanded Universe magazine works:

• Story Ein glänzender Auftritt für Rarity (German pages 1, 2)
• Comic Der Stern der Winterträume (German pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
• Story Ein ulösbares Rätsel für Twilight Sparkle (German video & post)
• Comic Mach mal Pause! (German pages 1-5)
• Comic Apple Blooms großes Abenteuer (German pages 1-5)
• Story Les surprises de l'amitié/Das Überraschungsfest (French pages 1-2◊, 3-4◊, 5◊; German video)
• Comic Einfach rufus (German video)

Hi folks. I have just been roped into doing the night duties on Monday and Tuesday.

Shot.

Hi Fergard, are you new?

You should know or able to check if some user is new in thread. (He's not).

I consider those as lowest grade of EU, far from canon.

Unlike the comics, those three stories (Ein glänzender Auftritt für Rarity, Ein ulösbares Rätsel für Twilight Sparkle, and Les surprises de l'amitié/Das Überraschungsfest) have never been scanlated. (Ein glänzender Auftritt für Rarity was once translated in Ponibooru comments, but those have now been lost to the wind.)

It takes too much work to check. And I can try translating them if you want.

Ooh, please do! (EDIT: translating stories, not checking users)

What's going on?

Well I'm planning to translate those German stories.

Hi JT.

Once again, work ruined my week. How's you?

Hi JT. We're discussing German comics.

Also, remember that you were planning to divide the episodes into 5 tiers? I decided to do the same and Mio did too. I'll try and find the posts. Also, while I haven't been submitting my work, I have been trying to draw for the artist training grounds.

I'm okay. A bit tired, but that's nothing new. I'm just kinda chilling now before I go back to work this week.

@Sereg: Wait, you haven't been submitting them?

Oh fffffff I need to get back on those episode tiers. I'm only like 5 episodes in. Arg.

@ed: Nah. Too much effort. But I'm still enjoying trying to draw for the themes. If I significantly improve, I'll put them all somewhere more accesable.

@JT: Here's my tier list.

And here's Mio's.

@Story: I lurk in this thread from time to time, but I don't really post here often. Too much posts for me to keep up. ^^;

And yeah, mickeymonster's Discord is just entirely possible to me.

Huh, those tiered lists are interesting. I can already see some points where I differ quite a bit.

@Sereg: Do you have any place where you're saving your drawings from the prompts? My most drawing for the most recent one is on this page.

Huh. Looking over my pictures, I don't know if I'm imagining it or not, but I think that I actually am seeing some improvement.

Draw an idle pony/pony idling◊

Draw a pony on the move/in motion◊

Draw a pony with a prop/a material pony

(Man, I should have added Smarty Pants in addition to forgetting her cutie mark.)

Draw a pony at their peak/on a hill◊.

I'm getting a 404 for the third picture.

All my doodles for prompts are in My DA scrapbook thing.

Don't know what was going on there, but edited in a work around. It should work now.

I think that I've seen all yours already. They're good. I'll take a look anyway though.

Ok here's the first page. The part at the end didn't make much sense to me.

A spring morning in Ponyville. The beautiful Rarity lay in her bed and
slept peacfully. She smiled happily because she was dreaming of a dance
in the big ballroom of the castle. As in the dream, Rarity turned in her
bed and plop - fell on the floor.

"What a stupid dream. I will never go to the ball", she murmered
sleepily. Rarity stood up and opened the window to get a bit of fresh
air. Then she sat at her dressing table and brushed her lovely purple
mane until it fell in perfect curls on her shoulder. At that moment,
Fluttershy peeked in the window.

"Hello Rarity! Thanks for helping me look after my animals this evening.
They are terribly afraid of fireworks", greeted Fluttershy. "I'm happy to
do it. I already have lots of ideas about how we could dress up the sweet
bunnies hair. I'll see you then.", answered Rarity cordially and looked
at her freind, as she cheerfully ran off.

That evening as Rarity was on the way to Fluttershy, she saw several
beautifully dressed ponies full of anticipation trotting off to the
castle. For a moment, she was sad that she couldn't be with them. Then
she thought of the little animals that would be frightened by the
fireworks at the ball and needed her help. "I made the right decision"
thought Rarity and decided, went to Fluttershy.

In Fluttershy's hut, it was pleasantly warm like always. The bunnies
snuggled together and a bright Unicorn approached Rarity as she entered
the room. "What a cute little thing. Do you like the ribbon?", she said,
and had also decorated one of the animals with a pair of handholds.

Okay, I was following that until the "handholds" thing.

Well, I think we all know that Over A Barrel and A Friend In Deed are gonna be at the bottom of JT's Tier list.

As for Discord, I've seen a few fanfics that keep his original personality while still making him a complete and utter bastard {Which does surpisingly work well. It's not really Charecter derailment since he's at least allready a huge chaotic asshole in the show}, like the Pony POV fic series. I almost see him as the mlp fim equivelent to The Joker, at least in fanon.

Suited for Success is top tier for both?

Goooood.
