I'm pretty sure there were zombie stories before that
For some reason I don't think that they'll be very well done.

I've read a couple, but so far all the ones I've read...

...but nevertheless, they were an entertaining read.

Might read that zombie fic I posted.

Also, Pony Space is the only pony crossover I have read, most of them suck. That one doesn't.

I bet there's a pony related mod for Minecraft. Would totally be worth making.

First image post, and I don't know if it's already been posted (not recently, in any case) but this always makes me smile:

I would be more interested in a Minecraft related fic, rather than a mod unless it's incredibly well done. Also, you absolutely butchered that quote.

I've been thinking about the comparison between ponies and Touhou (mainly the ludicrous amount of fan made content that arguably drives them more than the media they're based on) and am wondering why this connection doesn't come up more often:

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.

Ahaha...yeah. Not sure how the heck it happened, but I blame it on the computer. I seriously don't remember touching that stuff up top of the quote. Also, I was trying to be a bit sarcastic in my comment about the minecraft mod. It wouldn't really change anything. Unless they made the randomly generated towns into little villages similar to Ponyville, made gems exist and be ridiculously common, threw in all kinds of pony related enemies, animals, and other things, and yeah. I guess that might be cool, actually.

Spoiler: large filesize (click to show/hide)
Spoilers do absolutely nothing about that, by the way.
Those tags are powered by JavaScript.
Everything is downloaded at the "same" time, as with anything else that isn't explicitly loaded from an external resource via JavaScript; or any language you can embed into webpages that isn't PHP, for that matter.
Even that, though, is something that can't be done in this instance, because of the hybrid nature of spoiler tags.

In layman's terms: Images behind spoilers are still loaded just as if they weren't under the spoiler tag.
The spoiler tag is only useful to keep, well, spoilers, or large size, not large filesize.

It's not that bad. Doesn't really show RD's personality but looks like a neat dress regardless. Switch the color scheme/cutie mark to Twilight's and it'd actually fit nicely.

There are far worse things with the pony name on them. Like Applejack's pink truck. In a universe without automobiles. And a pony that despises frilly stuff.

Images behind spoilers are still loaded just as if they weren't under the spoiler tag.

Links, however, work just fine to keep large images from loading.

For example, this one, which while nearly 2 megs, is highly amusing.

And this one, which while also about 2 megs, is some serious daww material.

And let's not forget this one, which while nearly 4 megs, is just plain and simple awesome.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Thanks for the appreciation, all. :)

The images came from iambrony.com, which has a searchable archive of not quite yet over 9000 pony animated gifs, but as of this post, over 2800.
