@ JT: The Applelight story right? You mentioned it on your Tumblr but I couldn't see a link.

JT's writing a fic about Applelight?

@Mage Hehehehe, that is pretty awesome

Thom, Nynaeve and Egewene look particularly good. I figured Rand would be considerably taller though

As hilarious as that would be, no, I am not writing a story about Applelight. I'm basically doing an Applejack/Twilight story where the point is to see how a romantic relationship would really happen if the introduction of romantic feelings was the only thing about the setting that changed. Needless to say, it is not going to be a "Love at First Sight" type of thing. Heck, AJ doesn't even appear in the first chapter.

Although I must say I now have the idea for a Crack Fic where Applelight ends up in Equestria and spends the whole time trying to fatten Pinkie up by feeding her everything.

Yeah, I read the chapter and enjoyed how you're doing it.

The joke had to be made, though.

Do it...you know you want too.

So it's not love at first sight because they haven't seen each other yet? I believe you about it I just don't think them not meeting immediately is evidence for it not being love at first sight.

But in the end it turns out to be an exercise in futility, because Pinkie Pie is physically incapable of getting fat.

@CDRW Well, she's capable of getting plump for at least a few seconds given the ending of MM Mystery

Ahem...very end of MM Mystery On The Friendship Express?

Well yeah, but that's manual distortion. Something had to give to make room for the cake. But actually putting on weight? Nope. You'd have to convince her to swallow some cannon balls or something. And I think she'd have even those digested within the hour.

While Applelight's in Equestria, he continues to communicate with the thread by having one or more of the sockpuppets relay messages for him.

I think CDRW means permanently fat.

And Ninja'd

YES YES

So her balloon belly just came from stuffing a cake over twice her size into herself in one go?

That's disappointing...

Someone needs to make fanfiction about this thread

I still think she had chubbier cheeks in that scene

Pregnant Pinkie would be large for a bit longer though...

Yes. Yes they do.

@ ginger

She had very chubby cheeks in that scene!

She was three times her normal size overall.

@Badwolf: What I mean is it's not one of those deals where the relationship starts with the involved parties conveniently confessing their love for each other. There are way too many shipping fics out there that just sort of start off with the characters going "I love you!" "I love you too!" What I'm trying to do is avert that and actually show all the uncertainty that goes into getting it to work.

And yeah, getting Pinkie permanently fat is an exercise in futility. If fed her enough, she might be plump for a day or two, but her metabolism would take care of it pretty quickly.

And now I have the idea of Pinkie getting a crush on a known chubby chaser and struggling to put on weight so he'll be interested. WTF thread Y U give me these ideas?

That's what happens when you pressurize your stomach so much that it forces cake directly into the bloodstream.

I love that idea. And so would Fimfiction.

I'd like to see an episode where Rarity and Twilight engage in a contest that involves using their magic. I know Twilight had a load of magic on her side, but Rarity seems to have skills in that area.

I'm just curious to find out what the extent of Rarity's magic is!

first we were talking about a group ponyfication photo, now we're talking about group fanfic.

Twilight has more raw power, but Rarity has more creativity and finesse. It's a strength vs skill thing.

@CDRW: I already have like half a dozen ideas in my head; the last thing I need is to give myself Attention Deficit Creator Disorder that's even worse than what I already have.

@Blissey Such are the wonders of the pony thread.

@ JT: Gotcha.

@ Unicorn Contest: And then Trixie gatecrashes the contest.
