Part of the reason I don't post as much is probably because I don't like to just post for the sake of saying something, and I usually post here only if I have something pony-related to mention. I also usually try to read all the posts each time I look at this thread rather than jumping to the last page, which also takes up time.
@Ginger: I'm kind of confused. Did you say that you dislike Twilight for being overpowered now? Because I thought you said before that she was your second-favorite of the Mane Cast after Applejack? Or did you change your mind? (And no, I don't see anything wrong with you disliking Twilight if that's the case, people are entitled to their own opinions.)
@Ponymanga Daioh: I love that! I always thought that Rainbow Dash reminded me of Tomo, at least personality-wise. Mainly because of her impish troublemaker moments, such as her behavior in Luna Eclipsed. However, Rainbow Dash is probably nicer in general than Tomo.
@The fanon debate: I don't necessarily follow the fanon interpretations of characters myself, especially the background ponies. For example, and I know that this will probably upset some fans whenever my "next-gen ponies" story comes out, I don't necessarily assume that Dinky is related to Derpy. I considered making her being a child Derpy had before she married Pinkie, but then I decided that I didn't really need to follow fanon like that and thought that I'd just rather use the kids I made up rather than worrying about fanon. I certainly don't mind the stories and artwork about Derpy and Dinky being a mother/daughter pair and agree that it's very cute, but I didn't really want to do that in my own story, especially since it's not something made clear in the show itself, it's just something the fans made up.
