How about if I only read the ones centered on Applejack, Doctor Whoof, or Trixie that aren't shipping fics? Is that, a thing, I can do?

...well, I may be wrong, but I think you'd have a hard time finding an Applejack-centric fic that isn't shipping.

#13653 Turnways Flip Tue, 9th Aug '11 8:36:06 PM from whoof want to know from whoof want to know

I don't.

At least I hope not, Appledash is the bane of my pony-related-fanfiction-reading existence and the rest of them aren't much better.

I wish I could read faster.

And of course, I read really fast, but I'm generally not too interested in reading fanfic. Like 90% of my fanfic consumption is the result of proofreading things for other people.

Well, let me give you a more direct link

. You can see what I'm talking about. This is brilliant. Posted it to the fanfic section of MLP, so comment away.

I wrote a first draft of a non-ship Applejack story about a million pages ago.

Been thinking of revising and submitting it to Eq D.

There is a claim that there is a flood of pony images the wiki.
I've seen them only on Sanity Slippage and Slapstick Knows No Gender, are there any more ponified articles?

It's not on Slapstick Knows No Gender anymore, anyway.

#13660 Adannor Tue, 9th Aug '11 11:45:29 PM

Well, it was and it is currently in Image Picking. It would have contributed to "flood" impression... If there was any flood.

I hate to say this but they might have a point.

Like a few pages back, people were like "Lets fill a page with Pony Pics!" and everyone was like "Yay!". I know the show is cool and all but we shouldnt go overboard or we may cause Hype Backlash.

The page is So you want to Develop Character Personality BTW which has Pony pics, but with proper context and purpose and there are other images from other media so its more balanced.

Please lets not create a backlash againts the show.

Wait wait wait.

Wait.

This site has articles?

@Kegisak and Turnways I totally wrote a non-shipfic for Applejack for my WTG 3 submission, so there.

Also, because over at the ATG, drawing by hand is getting too easy for us, have a muzzle drawn Twilight

(no, seriously, I drew that entire thing with the 2H pencil I had in my mouth).

Now they whant change both pics from tropes (one changed back allready), because there is flood of pony pic on wiki. So few pony pics have so much power behind to be consider a flood?

I think the both pages are great with pony pictures.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

There is a claim that there is a flood of pony images the wiki.

Or, in other words, this wiki has become A Very Pony Place

(Yes, I just had to say that)

I wish that was true.

Lets make this true.

#13667 Coco Natts Wed, 10th Aug '11 3:10:11 AM

No, lets not.

Trust me I adore MLP. But lets think for a bit. Lets say other guys liked a show a lot....lets say Adventure Time. And they drench the wiki with images of that show, without care of how we feel about it. You wouldnt think it was good, right?

Its okay to put pony images in the wiki, but lets not abuse that right.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one Coco. We're here for all media, not just our favourites.

but if the image works in encapsulating a trope, changing it just because it's mlp is a bit petty. I don't care what the pic for a trope is, as long as it lets me know what a trope is about.

#13670 Coco Natts Wed, 10th Aug '11 3:49:37 AM

We arent saying "remove the pony pics that fit already" but lets not remove the images from other shows because that would be equally petty.

I thought some people were implying that they should change some trope pictures just because of the oversaturation of pony pics

Im against removing pony pics, but its not right to actually go "Lets fill the wiki with pony pics!"

In general, I'm against "let's fill the wiki with X pics". Where X is pretty much anything.

But apart, all we are is just a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess...

#13674 Adannor Wed, 10th Aug '11 4:17:27 AM

Yeah. Want pony pictures - find something that fits best for some trope and go to Image Picking. Please do not go on a pony plastering spree, it will just give the proof and fuel to the hate.

#13675 Death Cloud Wed, 10th Aug '11 4:31:07 AM

Geez, I was joking.

Why people act as if there was a flood of JAFAAC of pic's just like with many times with some anime show (and others) was in past?

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.
