I can't draw at all!

Maybe I should try that "newbie artist training grounds" thing.

Okay, I just came up with the idea that we make separate sections on the Awesome, Heartwarming, and Funny pages for MLP, and put the fandom stuff in there.

@Pannic: Go for it. Getting practice is kind of what it's for anyway.

It's practice mostly. Learning to draw ponies requires a lot of boring ( but necessary stuff) like learning animal anatomy an such. I can recommend some references if anybody is interested.

You can do it guys just practice ( I recommend at least a little bit of horse anatomy study). The way of the artist isn't an easy one, but it's totally worth it :)

@ edvedd That's very pretty. I really gotta get back to learning GIMP so I can put out stuff like that instead of just sketches. Of course, that's going to be a little hard with my slow drawing speed and addiction to the theme of the day. tongue

@Pannic Drawing is something that's very much learned by doing, so if you want to learn, start drawing (seriously, aside from the training grounds, I've done drawings sporadically over the last couple years and even with that minimal amount of effort, my latest drawings make my drawings from 3+ years ago look embarrassing)!

I just doodled my first MLP-style character. Couldn't help myself, so he's a donkey. On the plus side, I don't have to worry about designing a cutie mark!

Awesome! I can't draw worth a damn so if I were to contribute something to the fandom it would be a fanfic. But I'd start with drabbles... since my previous two fanfics (both were slash written when I was a younger teenager. A very horny teenager.) were drabbles that were So Bad It's Horrible. Buuuut if I put some time and effort into them I'm sure they'll be all right. No more smut lol.

Still feeling real shitty after my first coming out. Got made fun of by a black kid who was ehhh probably between the ages of 12 and 15 (I'm starting to become kind of racist against black guys...) and had a dream about being shanked by said kid in the bathroom. Damn.

Alrighty, I took the privilege of adding folders for the Funny, Heartwarming, and Awesome pages and organized them a bit.

Canon, Fan Art (comics included), Fan Videos, and Misc. (I put stuff like Lauren's blog posts and the commercials here)

Have fun everypony!

NICE! Now to find the "hit the sauce" comic and add it to the Funny section >:3

Also... is there a reason we don't have a separate page for Crowning Music of Awesome like most shows/games/etc? You know that list is only going to get bigger come Season 2.

Unrelated to the above; I was poking around the American Accents page and started to wonder where the different ponies all fit. I'm assuming Applejack uses a Texas Drawl but I can't pinpoint Rarity's.

Also, anyone have any idea exactly what the Oranges (AJ's cousins in Manehattan) do for a living?

So I've got an epic idea for a fanfic, but like I said I'll practice with drabbles. What the basic premise is that the CMC's get some Character Development and unlock what their talents are. But I don't want to spoil much except that it ain't just focused on them. Everypony will be involved and all the Mane Six will make appearances in every chapter. And my 2 inspirations for the fic will be FIM and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Trust me, it sounds like it'll be an awesome fanfic in my head. Better Than It Sounds. If you all would like me to elaborate more I will.

Hey guys, is it sad that most of a story's comments are on the picture used in the post?

I'm tidying up the stuff I've written so far; I always knew it could be better, and I'm always modifying it to some extent.

Here's a sample of my latest chapter; it's not done yet: Town and Country

It's a good story, don't worry.

Also, anybody think I should go forth on this endeavor or forget it?

I think you should totally go for it. Any idea can make something great in the right hands, so there's really no sense in not giving it a shot.

Cartoon Brew is one of the sites I ignore whenever Amid posts an-y-thing that even mentions My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. They will not ever understand the fan hype it has spawned.
