I think Google has a feature that lets you search for duplicates of an image without having to look through all those images yourself.

@what: that looks awfully like a preproduction pitch for Luna Eclipsed

@yeller: there's a image-checking utility that trawls the 'boorus.

Maybe it's one of those fantasy cliches where the true royal line has been passed down in the wilderness for ages. Sort of like with Carot Ironfoundersson.

Cadence is prolly under political asylum in Equestria legally.

I wanna see more lore on Hollow Shade. That little shadowy village on the map of Equestria definitely has a ghost story of some kind behind it.

Wait, does this mean an official map of Equestria was made?

Yes.

I'm still interested in Galloping Gorge. I just think that's a neat title.

@Kegi You weren't here when that hit? Prepare to fire up your fanon engines, then, because this one's ripe for all sorts of neat stuff.

Although, it probably messes with the geography of your fics, with the fact that Equestria is bordered on two sides by ocean and one side by frozen wasteland.

Interactive Map of Equestria (requires Flash)

Well if your fic predates the map, there shouldn't be any problems.

Well, I've finally updated my liveblog with chapter 21 of Fallout Equestria.

I still wonder who made that map of Equestria?

I get the feeling that that map will be added to and changed many times before the show is over.

According to Ridd Sorensen, "it was designed by the great Phil Caesar and colored by the uber- talented Geoff Manson."

And the other big question is what is beyond the oceans.

Dream Valley.

Also, hai thread.

We should add a rule to the drinking game that states to take a drink whenever I spell words like 'poni', 'ded' or 'hai'.

So close, yet so far away...

So. . .probably November?

Some how I wouldn't put it past them.

Y'know, tomorrow is less than 30 days away.

It's just so... ambiguous. They said that they'd give us a four week heads-up to before the season airs, but we don't know if this announcement counts for that, or how long the "less than 30" days are going to be.

Can't handle the stress.

That's a big finger.

I read "less than 30 days" as "expect it to take 30 days, but if somehow we're way ahead of schedule, we'll consider making the announcement sooner."

-reads map-

... fffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- UUUU

Well, Canterlot being a single mountain in the centre of Equestria josses the geography of The Colour You Bleed pretty harshly, but I think the rest of my imagining of the continent, sans Equestria and Aloa being directly attached, is still largely intact.

You know, for the sake of the show I do enjoy it when we get world building like this... but when I have an epic fic, and an entire universe built around it that relies on a continent that I have invented, and therefore on the show NOT developing the territory around Equestria, I can't help but feel a tad defensive when it does.

Wait, so they are telling us that its 30 days until they tell us how long we have to wait? What a tease! I guess they wish to give us some deadline, but can only give us a time set in stone in 30 days, but it's a bit frustrating. Better than nothing though.

Finally, some concrete news!

Eh, 30 days is a little over four weeks. It'll be here in no time.

30 days, NYCC is less than that, Therefore S3 announcement is at NYCC.
