It's not like it's the only clopfic starring foals. I've seen a few starring the CMC, whether individually or together, and I heard about one involving Dinky Doo. Welcome to the internet, people.

Since that's not adding much good to discussion, I will add that I've already read the fanfiction, and the first time I read it was on a sadfic binge, and that it was one of the less sad sadfics I read.

Off the current topic, what do you guys think of crossovers? Do you have any favorites, do you hate them, like them, what?

I personally don't care for the fanfic crossovers. I like when people draw crossovers, though, especially some of the Dead Space ones.

On a different note, here's a clean idea for a fanfiction, or possibly a series of fanfictions (BTW, I probably won't use this idea myself, so feel free to steal it):

A fanfiction set in an evil alternate universe, where Nightmare Moon is in charge, and Twilight Sparkle writes reports to her on why it is better to be feared than loved.
Else it'll probably seem like a super villain parody, starring Special Agent Sparkle and comrades putting down dissent and goodwill among the pony folk.

Also, somebody would probably get turned into glue.

I've seen sadder sadfics. One where dragons are immortal (so no seeing Twilight or the others in the afterlife), and one in which there is no afterlife.

As for crossovers, I'm writing a MLP/40k one. Was tempted to write a 50k or even a 60k, but you need to have the 40k base so all the stuff getting worse is understandable.

Oh, and even in the 40k one, when you die...you get recycled.

Oh my gods yes

So, I hang out with some friends after my classes in the student lounge. We hang out, talk, play Magic and Chess and Yu-Gi-Oh (I'm not a fan of the last one, but others are, so why not?)
So, I borrow a Yu-Gi-Oh deck to play with the other guys, and I am told that when I play Celestia, I have to say 'I summon Queen Celestia!' I looked at my friend, and another friend corrects him, saying "It's Princess Celestia."
My friends are bronies. I have never been happier before in my life.

EDIT:
As for crossovers, I tend to like them only if I liked the material that MLP is being crossed with, which is understandable.

I have an drawing class this semester, and I think for one of the assignments I'm gonna draw a pony just to see what my classmate's reactions are.

I think one of the girls there is a total geek since she semi-squee'd at a ninja turtle drawing I did, and knew exactly which version of gameboy that I drew for a different assignment.

They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Fallout Equestria is everything a great crossover should be. I love it.

I'm also writing a Halo MLP crossover, but after setting up the circumstances to allow it, I'm having trouble moving forward. Meh, I'll work on it whenever.

After getting over my writer's block, I've been able to do a bit of work on my fanfic.

Here it is in it's current form:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w2lF1bySlCiItqqi4eGvmm7XSyEYpLUDDS2UY6LRjm0/edit?hl=en_US

Any suggestions to improve it (even information on grammatical or other errors) will be greatly appreciated. It's got the frame down, but I'm willing to work to make it better.

Wow, that Pony Space author is great.

"Okay," he tried to reassure himself, "it'll be fine. I'm fine."

"I don't think so."

He felt a pair of hands close around his throat, tight and unyielding, choking the air out of him while his head was jerked upwards to once again stare at the mirror, his whole body lifted off the ground. He saw himself, no, his human self, emerged halfway through the mirror and looking at him with an expression of complete repugnance and glass-eyed insanity.

"Hey! How did I become the bad pony here? I didn't lie, I really was coming here to read. I didn't know Princess Luna would be waiting for me. She said she needed a friend for the night and one thing led to another…."

"Twilight, you didn't? In the forest… all three of you?" Pinkie was absolutely mortified, "And I thought Dashy was the daring one!"

"No Pinkie, not like that." Twilight could not believe she had gotten herself into this mess. "We were actually; well, it's complicated."

"We've got time to spare," Spike crossed his arms, "and I'd rather hear it from you before Celestia announces the wedding is tomorrow."
He plays with all sorts of fanon and places strategic references several times, I love it.

I'm currently reading The Empty Room, but once I'm done I'll take a look at yours. And then I'll hunt down this Dead Space crossover, seeing as it comes so highly recommended :P

Gladly.

Gotta warn you, it's kind of a gorefic at times, being a Dead Space crossover and all.

Skimmed it, it's a crossover Dead Space/MLP. Don't know the former franchise so wasn't that interested.

EDIT: Ninja'd

I recommend, in no particular order:

Arddun Lleuad (Luna/Human Romance)
The Cough (Grimdark, already linked previously, and it was totally Pinkie)
Ditzy Doo: Muffins (Ditzy backstory, Drama, Dr Whooves references)
A Precious Rainbow (Cupcakes inspired Grimdark series based on an alternate ending, later episodes contain Rainbow Dash/Applejack shipping)
Blood, Sweat and Tears (Applejack backstory, Sadfic)
Simply Rarity (Rarity backstory, Sadfic)
Rarity's Rodeo (From the same author of the above two, arguably the best written, Humor)
It's Always Sunny in Fillydelphia (Applejack/Soarin Romance)
Sweet Apple Capers (Pinky Humor, one of the few well written Pinky perspective fanfics I've read that weren't Grimdark)

Hoo, boy, I can't tell what Nyx this is supposed to be.

I think that that user name may actually be a refrence to the ancient grecian goddess, rather than the MLP character, especially given that the MLP character isn't even official.
