Earth ponies would make poor toppings. Too tough and chewy.

Buh, pizza.

I have an unpopular opinion on the matter.

Are we gonna talk about cheese again?

maybe...

This is so typical. I try to upload that Pegasus I drew to deviant art, complete with a detailed description, and the whole fucking computer crashes. Fucking typical.

Take a deep breath, reboot and try again.

grthflkmff... You know I really don't think I'm a particularly violent or angry person, but I swear to god every time I do something related to student loans I wind up just wanting to punch a baby. Fortunately I have a dinner of ribs and corn on the cob I can savage to work off my aggression.

So, what's new in ponyland?

I know that feels.

same here.

Reminds me of that one SBMC strip.

I literally only got started on DA and somebody is already asking to help them on a fan made episode. Should I?

Glanco: Dashie and Fluttershy :3

Applestems: Derpy :3

Applestems: Lyra and Bon Bon

That depends entirely on how you want to spend your time. Fan projects and side projects like this can often end without anything ever having been done if people aren't dedicated enough. With something so very long term, something you aren't likely to see much personal gain from aside from your skill as an artist, tends to sap motivation pretty easily. Whenever I consider something like this I do it with a hefty dose of salt, bearing in mind - however cynical it may seem - that the odds are against it ever finishing.

So, the question to ask is, are you willing to put in a lot of time and effort on a project that probably will never finish, if it does may not become popular, and if it does you probably won't get much recognition for on a personal level, based solely on the chance to work and improve?

It's a dour way to look at things, I'll grant you, but on the flip side if you do make it, and it does get done, the sense of pride from something as simple as being able to look at this and say, "Yes, I made this. This is mine" is mindboggling.

They want me to be a writer...and I accepted.

Well done Apple :D

We'll just to wait and see what becomes of it I guess.

@Apple: I'd personally look into it a bit first an see what other stuff the guy has worked on and who else he has working on the project.

Another thing to take into consideration is whether or not you'll be able to keep up the contributions; you shouldn't accept the offer unless you're reasonably sure that you can follow up on it. It wouldn't be good to sign on and then have to drop out due to RL concerns.

Then again, I'm pretty biased to be suspicious of group projects, since the vast majority of them I've been a part of distribute the work really unevenly.

Congrats, Apple! I'd give your own story priority, though.

Also, I just realized that what I thought was an over-shaded mane on your aviator pony is actually his helmet.

...wouldn't you have to have it done before june, then?

...I could...work on weekends. I'm sure.

you've gained another watcher, Applelight.

Syd and JT, you guys have a dA account too?

I know that 'the pilot' is very rough but I will work to refine him. Also, I think I'll try a green and brown scheme like a normal Spitfire. It will probably suit him better.

@ crimson: Eeyup.

@ Apple: Regarding the pilot's name, how about either Noonan or Lockheed, the type of aircraft he navigated?

@ Syd

There is a plane called a Hurricane. It was the Spitfire's less glamorous partner. That could possibly work...because the other famous plane is the Sopwith Camel.

Salty Dog: And what is your name?
Pilot: Hurricane, sir. Commander Hurricane.
Salty Dog: "Commander Hurricane." That name is...vaguely familiar. Or maybe I'm just gettin' old. Anyway, welcome aboard, sonny.
