It can't get any darker than G1, where they had to abandon Dream Valley because of Smooze and Flutter Valley was permanently rendered uninhabitable.

I'm perfectly fine with liveblogging here. It's not like we have much else to talk about until season 3 anyway.
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

@JT: Pretty much. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]")
I don't actually think it will be dark of course. My expectations always get filtered through less optimistic lenses for some reason. They're never met.

Yeah, I can't imagine it being all that dark compared to the S2 premiere and finale.
@Story: Eh, might as well go ahead. I can always skip over it. It'll probably remind me of the Ginger days where I had to skip like half the posts because they were talking about fanfics I haven't read. 
Ugh, I think I'll go to bed. I'm dead tired, which is probably why I'm being so ornery at the moment. See you guys tomorrow.

Talking about it here can be a slippery slope. Talking about it too much in this thread is what caused the fanfiction thread to be created in the first place. Then talking about it too much there forced it to spin off into its own dedicated thread. It generates a lot of discussion.

Eh, your choice, and i can understand your point more or less J Teeth, though one thing from that rant I DO need to correct. Fluttershy did NOT develop the 'nukes' she developed the concept of the 'megaspell' but her intent and the megaspells she created were all healing and defense oriented, it was others that took her basic concept of how to create megaspells and turned them into offensive weapons. Her only real crime was being to naive and/or willfully blind to see that coming.

yeah i meant do a real liveblog, cuase here, we overtake the thread, and the actual FOE thread is full of people that only seem to care about Project Horizons. But I don't mind if you do it here, gives us SOMETHING to talk about

@JT: well, about half of my posts since I started reading fanfics have been about fanfics, and you haven't complained much so far
Seriously though, if they still had the liveblogs formatted as the forums, I totally would do that. I've done one before, after all!
But I really don't like the setup they have for liveblogging now.

it was actually people talking about fancis that they were writing, and asking for advice on those fics, that caused the fanfic thread to be made.

I wonder if I should try writing a fanfic one of these days.

I've tried several times. The average length I've reached is about one page.

You're lucky. I had to skip ALL the posts!

Currently reading Applejack Takes A Math Test, and I'm loving it. Cheerilee went back through AJ's old math test from when she was in elementary school, and RE-GRADED IT! I love this interpretation of Cheerilee, she's a complete BITCH, and she puts so much effort into it that you can't help but give her some applause.

I didn't even manage a full paragraph the last time I tried.

@CDRW: nah, she's just exhibiting a certain amount of meticulousness you'd expect from Twi, although pulling strings to force AJ back to school is a jerk move indeed

Now reading that.
Anyways, good writing is tricky, but doable.

@ Ace: No, she took entirely to much pleasure from her encounter with AJ for it to just be due dilligence. She was coming after her like this was sweet sweet revenge for some old slight.
“Oh, I’m not so sure about that. Anyways, the exam is a multiple-choice test. To put that into words you might be able to understand, it means—”

The only creative writing I would say I'm actually good at is pithy forum posts.

@FOE: I have no interest in FOE at ALL, and I'm ok with people talking about it here.
Though I occasionally do have to restrain myself from complaining about Fallout.
About writing: I've recently discovered that good writing is more of a craft than an art, and I am very happy to learn that.

I guess I'm good at writing. I think I can accept that at this point. I still almost wish I would have crashed and burned with my first major story rather than be successful with it, because I don't feel like I've really learned that much. Almost.

You know what I miss from the fanfics of old? Shipping Luna Mac over their shared love of mathematics.
