Leave it to the Bay12 forumgoers to turn cute magical ponies into a renewable source for a profitable second-hand organ trading business.

I assume you can tell who the six adults and three adolescents apprehended were, right? ;)

I can even tell who AA1 is, though not the other escapee.

If I ever get my avatar's power, I'm quarantining every AU you had so much as contemplated, ever.

On an unrelated note, can somebody recommend me a few good MLP:FiM fanfics that can be said to accurately or even plausibly convey the characters of the M6? Being something of an unsocial and unemotional person with a somewhat flimsy grasp of the finer parts of English vocabulary, I'm having trouble conveying... well, anything, in text, especially dialogue, because normally I don't experience the things I would want to describe.

Since for the next Goblin's Friend project some of our writers are not participating, I fear I might have to take a part in the writing as well, so I'll need reference material that I can align my writing to.

I assume that includes the AU where the ponies come to earth and solve everything and the entire thing ends happily?

Actually, now that I look at it again, you may be referring to a fic I didn't read. (That wouldn't be surprising, I hardly read any MLP fiction at all)
Nevertheless, all other things disregarded, of the ponies I've seen only Pinkie could pull off such a Captain Obvious moment as "I'm out" and "I'm not dead".

Imagining ponies as nigh-unkillable ever-cheery abominations of nature certainly helps distancing from the source of the crossover, btw.

And yes, just to be on the safe side.
To clarify, that simply entails reparenting the relevant multiverse branches to a controlled virtual sub-universe, so that anyone attempting to view or enter the universes in question would hit a metaphorical brick wall. Unfortunately, the process will only be effective after you're dead, so I might have to wait a while.

Oh, that's not Pinkie Pie.


That's old AJ. Pinkie was the other one.

Well, that just shows how good of a judge of character I am, doesn't it? :)

The Element of Honesty has an accent. Also, your notes said "one male and one female of each species", so unless you were drawing from an AU where half the M6 are Spear Counterparts...

edit: also, I read your notes wrong. Confusing, your text sometimes is. Still, they do seem to be of comparable age, so splitting them between "three females of each species" and "three adolescents" is a little odd.

Okay. So as to understand:

Diary entries are made at the time. This is still early times in pony-human relations. They think that they're all pairs of both genders, but they don't really know.

Annotations to the entries are made post-war. They've got a hell of a lot more knowledge, and they now know how to differentiate sexually between them.

Camera transcriptions are made post-war but don't have all of the events. This is basically a dossier on the experiment.

So, for example, if the camera transcripts were telling you that pony A had butchered people, but the diary said that the pony didn't.... Well..

So far, excepting that you seem to be forging yet another crapsack world, I can see nothing interesting. SCP, Secure and Contain the Ponies?

And please, do remind me not to mention any more crossover ideas in your presence. You seem to be doing a pretty good job without my help.

On a, now completely, unrelated note, I'm still waiting for someone to recommend me some good fiction. Preferably not conceived or directed by Dsarker.

Well, I'm experimenting with different ways of story telling. Right now I'm going for unreliable sources and lots of them. Letting the audience piece together the story from the scattered parts I give them.
