Yeah, for me it was the choice between two weeks worth of corn nuts and peanut M&Ms or a shirt, so yeah. And I figured that I might as well go for broke.



@Pickle:

Thanks for the advice; I'd noticed that about the measurements as well but cba to change it until I get to work on chapter two. But yeah, I have a tendency to lean towards overly lengthy sentences.

 One question: I was planning on waiting to submit it to ED until I had the first three or four chapters done and edited, but from the sound of things they've got a pretty big backlog. If anyone here has submitted a fic recently, can you recommend either waiting or going ahead and getting in line once I finish cleaning up chapter 1?

Glad I checked out EqD.

October 15th, baby! Set your calendars!

Very brief plot synopsis, not really spoilery but don't read if you want it to be a complete and total surprise.

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting.


Still time for panic though.

Two weeks seems pretty reasonable.

Panic? Why panic?

It's 3 weeks.

That's going to be hell to wait. But we've done it before, and we can do it again.

Yep. Fortunately I've still got a backlog of fanfics to read. On that note, I just finished Princess Molestia (yeah, I know...), and the Trollestia ending was so hilariously wrong. "Hey everyone, I just raped you all (and forced AJ and Big Mac into wincest) as an April Foals joke!"

Confound these ponies, they fit into my schedule. :)

My arguing acquaintance (we debate over random topics a lot) who lurks the dark underbelly of the internet has made a claim that the rise in popularity of My Little Pony seems to have caused a surge of zoophilia.

Anyone happen to know where I can get statistics to put up a good counterargument? Or possibly find out he's right?

If you put clopping under "zoophilia" he's probably right.

I wouldn't though; I don't consider anthropomorphic characters (and these definitely are not on-model horses) to be animals.

The way he worded it he seems to be implying that the whole clopping thing is acting as a gateway drug to the "harder" real-life stuff. His presented evidence is a few porn sites suddenly allowing bestiality, and at least one *chan suddenly springing up with a beast board.

I think I'm just going to point out that he can't prove any correlation as well as the fact that the internet itself has been getting increalingly progressive,with furries not being hated on nearly as much as an example.

Thanks for listening to my insanity.

I would say you should call him a moron then leave it at that.

Suddenly, human Octavia + Scratch.

Unfortunately, calling him a moron would defeat the entire purpose of our debates, which is to prove how much better we are than each other. You can't prove how much better you are than someone by calling them a moron, no matter how many people believe that.

Anyway, he did concede defeat on this particular topic, and said that next time he'd get the better of me. Hopefully this time it won't be something so pointless.

Also, I figured Tavi would look a little more filled out than that.

I would just have written "correlation =/= causation" on a blank index card word document and handed emailed it to them.




Damn you modern technology making everything more complicated!

Also, I posted this earlier, but it deserves a repost because fillyScratch(/ and because it has been playing in a tab for close to twenty solid hours, and I flip to it whenever I start feeling the least bit depressed: D'aaaaaaw
