Heya guys!

I wasn't a fan of Crossed Paths either. I think I just wasn't interested in the world they were flung into.

Pagetopper? Well, on the topic of fanfics, this one, called Fur and Feathers, is quite nice. It involves the main 6 pets turning into ponies.

Of Whip and Wing was much better than Crossed Paths.

That one's on my watchlist :D

Holmes crossover looks quite interesting, on my Watchlist, but I plan to wait for more content before reading :V

I know the feeling, it's happened to me with more than a few stories.

we'll just have to agree to disagree

On the Wings of Angels is not questionable quality, and you should totally give it a shot.

I have that one on my to read list

A Spice and Wolf crossover :3 Looking forward to economics talk from Holo :3

here, lemme through one more at you!

It Must be Tuesday -in progress. The Lone Wanderer is abducted by aliens again, and manages to kick their asses again. Only this time, he finds the spaceship isn't orbiting Earth anymore. And this time the aliens sent a second ship to try and shoot him down. After somehow surviving a crash landing on Equestria, The Lone Wanderer has to deal with being the first human to ever set foot on an alien world, and also deal with anything else that may have survived the crash...

I like this one because it addresses something a lot of human in equestria fics don't, a language barrier.

OH i know

Read the Dresden ones already :D

While I was hanging around the Hearth's Warming Care Package, I found this absolute gem, Playing Along, that stood above the rest. It's about filly Twi, her imaginary friends (represented by her toys) and how growing up affects those relationships. It's full of d'aw, feels and excellent characterization.

oh and someone is floating around a letter supposedly from a DHX employee saying that there will be a season 4, Twi WILL become and Alicorn in the season 3 finale, and that it was mandated by Hasbro for toy reason, and that they've been told to take Derpy out of the show.

@Seraphem: Press release or it didn't happen. I saw the post on Derpi, which was mirrored from Tumblr, which was taken secondhand from Reddit, and would not trust it.

Like I said, supposedly.

not believing it till confirmed.

Sourceless anonymous rumors are more or less completely worthless, so there's no reason to really care about it.

I just hope hasbro doesn't grow stupid and start biting the hand that feeds them. We've already proven we're pretty much self sustaining at this point.

Meh, the show is well written enough that even the most blatant of toy inserts (SA/Cadance, Crystal Ponies) are awesome in context, so they can do whatever they want and the show will make it work. I'm not particularly concerned with any of the possibilities here.

According to one anon in Derpibooru, it's a year old fake with dates changed around.

Anyways Derpy has several toys and minor roles in the IDW comic and the Gameloft app. She's not going anywhere :V

That'll explain why the text looked kinda familiar.

It's always a wonder how people love to feel threatened.

yeah, and I know it's likely fake. though with me it's more my GAD, I always assume worst case scenaro and just get anxious and scared, no matter how much I logically know it's not likely, I'm still sure it's going happen and be bad.

Post of the Day #223

I find it hilarious that when it got posted on tumblr everyone was like "OHNOES END OF THE WORLD" and as soon as it ends up anywhere else people just kind of shrug and go "Okay, and your sources are...?"

I'm calling bull on that post, not least because Hasbro doesn't want continuity, to allow the episodes to be watched out of order. Making Twi an Alicorn definitely counts as continuity.

That post calls (presumably) these◊ photos◊ "images from Hasbro's overseas offices" despite them actually being from Hasbro's stand at Brand Licensing Europe 2012 and an office at Funrise.

Wait a minute, we had this conversation already.

That thing had already been posted a while ago. Apart from the changed dates in the 1 year old version.

It is a troll.

Like I say, press release or it didn't happen.

TL;DR whoever wrote that didn't do the research.
