@RandomMan
I'll give it a better look at some point, but maybe not right now. But I'd say that I agree with the first suggestion. I'm not even sure if the crossovers and homages are of note in the memetic spread of the subculture. They are interesting to know about the show, but I don't think it's crucial (or even relevant) to the subculture. But at the very least, I'd agree with the need to condense this into a single paragraph/section.
As for the Twilightlicious article, I agree and disagree. I feel like Jackal Lantern. Tara is still tweeting with the hashtag #Twilightlicious as are many other bronies. Also, there is a little bit of current stuff being made recently.
The yellow one's crack at it. She didn't do so hot.
But it isn't nearly as trendy as it once was. I understand the suggestion, but I can't offer any agreement or disagreement.

Now you've done it, you went and made her cry.
Edit: While we're on the subject, I have noticed that Twilightlicious does seem to keep popping up, but it's due almost entirely to Tara's influence. If she keeps it up, who knows, maybe it will indeed become a fixed part of the fandom.
I'll wait with the Twilightlicious for now, see if some more people have an opinion about it.
But I'll go make those changes for the crossovers now. Check the entry in around 15 minutes.
Edit: And done. Still need to change some footnote numbers though.

Darnit, you guys know me far too well.On the topic of that fic, think about this: The fandom has a habit of downvoting fics simply for having shipping or grimdark in them. Sometimes Seth makes a post saying ‘ignore the bad rating’, because a good fic is given a shitty rating for daring to be a little controversial. This one has R63 and shipping between the mane cast and the R63’d versions of the mane cast. I bet that sounds ridiculously messed up, and yet it still got a 6 star rating. That means it’s pretty damn good.
I'm a faggot for Connar Cogwork's fics. All four of his fics are six star and two of them are R63…..
I highly recommend everyone check his fics on EqD.

When I first saw that original, I was at first like "dafuq?". But I thought it would be funny if it had a Brazzers logo on it.
You've now made that true, and mfw:
oh gawsh, why did that have to come true
It's funny though.
Your comment was what got me the idea.
So thank you, I guess…

I'm afraid to say "you're welcome", so ermmm, yeah.
Btw, do you think that Hell March 2 from Red Alert 2 (or Hell March 3, doesn't really matter) be used on like the changeling invasion?
Seems fitting for me.
For those who don't know, here's the tracks:

I don't mean to be a dick, but… how many tumblrs have done this, so far?
By that, I mean inexplicably make their characters a filly. It seems somewhat common, in my experience.
In non-pony related news, I'm actually kicking ass as a Demoknight… and enjoying it.
In pony related news, I think that scrapping the reference section was a good move, random. And, while I'm not entirely sure if Twilightlicious has seen enough spread to be a meme, it has seen remixes. Maybe having a 'Pony Music' sub-entry, as it's an example of the brony sub-culture's work, and not just Twilightlicious. Might not work, however.

Not everything has to turn into a shitstorm. You overreact too much in that stuff.

So, hai. I finally built up enough courage to put part one of my first fanfic A Long Time Coming. If anypony is up for a bit of a read, please, tell me what you think.
And now, random picture time.

I'm usually not one for shipping, but it seems you're doing it in a way that fits, and it's with established characters.
There were minor errors in grammar, but nothing too major. For example, if you are in dialogue, and the character is directly addressing somebody, such as "Tod I need your help.", the name being used as an address needs to be set off by a comma or set of commas. To correct that sentence: "Tod, I need your help."
Beyond that, stories are usually easier to read and understand if you make a new paragraph when the speaker switches. For example:
"Yo, dawg, I heard you like mudkipz." Xzibit stated cheerfully.
"Not really." Eduardo the Magnificent responded.
It allows it to flow easier, and causes less confusion.
Beyond that, there were a few capitalization errors that I assume are mistypes, because they only occurred once. The story also seems to be traveling a bit quickly, so using more adjectives might help, but that's just my opinion, and isn't anywhere near required. Some people like stories that stay completely straightforward.
Either way, it's pretty good, and I'll probably keep up with it.

To be completely honest, I find the first part to be the worst. I felt like I was being too sappy, too corny, and not very detailed. I tried to find a way around it, but that didn't work out too well. :P
And the paragraph thing, I know that feel. Deviantart doesn't believe in the tab button, and I couldn't find a code that helped with the indenting.
Uhhh, yes, the capitalizations are mistypes, I was a bit nervous posting it. Thanks for the input. :P

It's been fine and dandy. Well, mostly. There have been some skirmishes with the dolanites posting troll posts in the image gallery, some anonymous down-voters that come there almost every single day. But other than that it's been fine! Oh, and thanks for the welcome!
@Zarathh
Just kidding. Glad to see you here. Saw you on the comments on this site.
@anyone who's interested
Well, Lunar Dawn's coming closer than you think, but not in one piece. The first two chapters should be up by next week, time permitting, and the following week or two, I should be done with the second half.
Trust me, I'm going to make it as good as possible.
@Zarathh
You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.
Run. Run while you still can.
Basic guidelines:
Please don't put more than 3 images in a single post.
Don't piss anyone off. But if you do have to piss someone off, make sure it's not Citation (he's not here at the moment).
The regular forum rules of course apply to this thread.
Don't ever try to have a serious discussion about what happened to Derpy. Trust me, it's for your own good.
Twilight Sparkle is best pony. Don't you dare think otherwise.
Welcome to the thread.

Welcome to the thread.
@Zarathh:
Welcome.
Few guidelines: RandomMan is now your lord and master. Don't piss CitationNeeded off. Pyro is an arsonist with a crush on Luna. Unkown got some flak earlier for talking about Derpy, so don't do that. No pr0n. Don't talk about Pony General outside of Pony General too much. Try not to post too much pony outside of Pony General. Tell Muffinator to fuck himself because AJ is best pony. Algy reads the fics, don't try to beat him. Posting pics that were posted in the image gallery usually gets karma. Verbose is the king of TL;DR, don't challenge him. Opspe will kick your ass in A) science B) TF2 C) discussions and D) everything else. I'm not a Spy, I'm a Dashie. Don't be a prick and call me a Spy, because I'm clearly not. If you do call me a Spy, you are blind, because I'm clearly a Dashie.
Post ponies, ponies, and more ponies. Failure to post ponies will result in an ass-whooping of massive scale.
Here's the rest of my welcome wagon:
Oh, and have some BOMB-ASS BEATS!

Welcome to the thread.
To be fair, Fluttershy is bestest pony.
Welcome, new one. I am her most royal majesty of the night. A few tips for this place:
1. Pyro is my waifu. Keep off my man.
2. Make sure you avoid touchy subjects (You will learn them in time)
3. Citation is mean to everyone. Don't take it personally.
4. Try to keep Luna ships/anything that could be considered an insult to her away from where Pyro can see them. He's very protective of her character and will not hesitate to burn you on sight.
5. Ignore negs. There's a bunch of lurkers here who neg us and turn us against eachother.
6. Have fun. That's what this thread is about, ponies, which by definition, are fun.

You're gonna have to duel Engie to the death for the right to be Pyro's waifu.
After all, they did adopt a super-powered space baby together. That turned out to be super-powered space weaponry, but who's counting?
Another note: Start a shitstorm and I will CUT YOU!
So, newfag newb newcomer… have fun!

Death Battle did Starscream vs. Rainbow Dash.
They used strategic logic, tactical analysis, and comparison of strengths and weaknesses.

Read your fanfic. RARITY BELONGS TO APPLEJACK AND APPLEJACK ONLY You did a pretty good job there. I don't read many pony fanfics, or fanfics at all, but I can tell that yours was of rather high calibre.
Just work on your punctuation a bit. Explosive Lasers' comments seem to be spot on, except for this one thing: "so using more adjectives might help."
Yeah no. Don't fill up your story with random and unnecessary words. They're meaningless and impede readability. You can use more adjectives, but use them in a way that expands the narrative, instead of just being there to take up space.
II suggest adding more detail character development. Perhaps expand upon what is going upon in Rarity's mind. Also, Fluttershy was a bit out of character.
Other than that, a great start to what seems to be a cute little read.
