That reminds me. I need to work on Grace's stats.
Might I have a link to the template?

I also just now finished up chapter 4 of my story, Flight
Please, please, by Celestia PLEASE give me feedback. Be honest about what you thought.

Might I ask if Darkmane is in the story?

Nope, sorry. I may or may not have a reference later on, but so far, no other OCs have been in.

@Aerostat: Right here is the huge OC crossover thing's character sheet. The template is right there if you want it (just copy it off one of the OCs there).

@Citation: Reading… I'll give you feedback after I's finished. Read it. I'd like to say the story so far is pretty interesting. I can understand why Blitz would be averse to social interaction: having your parents die in a house-fire when you're twelve would kind of do that to a person. It was interesting to figure out that Blitz and Dash knew each other from Junior Speedsters. Might not be any shipping, but I can still say they might become close friends in the end, right?

Aside from that, good sailing so far.

Regarding yours, I enjoyed it very much. Has an extremely interesting premise, and I'm looking forward to more.
Typo in one of the paragraphs, though. At one point, "laughter" should be changed to "laughed", and there's also an unnecessary comma later on in that sentence.
Also, I recommend to stop a bit with the real life products. Think of some pony related puns!

May Flare have a reference please?
ya dont have to, just askin

Lol next thing you know you wanna put him in ADs xD.

Possibly. Also, there's a small reference to a certain comic book series during Blitz' conversation with Applejack. +5 internets if you got it (and pointed it out on here).

@Citation: I'm trying to pull a cliche-breaker, avoiding pony puns for the most part. But hey, if one of them is pretty funny/interesting/"ooh that's clever", I'll go ahead and put that in.

Might add more if popular demand climbs to extreme levels, but until then, I stick with my course.

Chapter 2 starts now. (And this time I use spell-check!)

Forum needs more Pinkie, or gifs.

Better idea, post pony gifs.

The magnificent animator dude that does those "Evolution of a Scene" behind the scene videos is looking for good FCs to feature in the final installment of his series. So what better time to show off the finalized version of my most developed character design!

By the way, how come there are so few earth pony FCs?

They're just… kinda boring, compared to pegasi and unicorns.
Now come on, if you were in a world where you could either fly or use magic, wouldn't you be a bit disappointed if you had none of these?

Ha! Funny you should say that, cuz that's pretty much the theme of this character. She wishes she was a pegasus, so she devotes most of her free time to building a set of mechanical wings.

Good characters don't really need any kind of superpower to be interesting and capable.

How do you post pics and gifs? (Sorry, I'm at a loss with this stuff)

Well, "boring" is all in the character. Sure, it would be nice to fly or use magic, but a good character could easily make anyone overlook that.

P.S. Sorry for the double post, I'm not sure if I should have put these two in the same post (also not sure how to quote two different posts)

@Iambob: Put down the link to the pic/GIF, then put an exclamation point (!) at the start and end of the entire URL. You're done.

I got that idea after looking at that picture of her closer in your gallery. Very nice concept, sounds like it'd be a good idea for a story.
And yeah, for the second part of the post, you're right.
As for Iambob, take the image URL, post it, and add an exclamation point to both ends. As in "!imageurlhere!".
EDIT: Ninja'd.

Just type

Replace (insert) with the URL of the pic or gif you want to post.

Edit: Ninja'd by Sparty McFly!

Just finished Gears 3. So epic. Who wants toast?

YEAH TOAST

I don't think I have seen a person ninja two people at the same time before. =P

I AM toast. O.o

Hmmm. What should Grace's Cutie Mark be?

DOUBLE KILL NINJA.

Well that shouldn't be too hard to figure out, what's her special talent?

Huh. Let's see…she's good with magic.

i got it, but i havent beat it.
please refrian from spoiling if you can help it

…that's Twilight's skill too. Try diversifying a bit. Think about something specific (magic or no).

More Scootaloo

Hmmmmm. Does making sense out of chaos count? If not, she could be good with illusions.

How is she floating?

It's a cartoon.

Yes but even in the show unicorns can't float and I don't think Sweetie Belle knows any magic.

She's flying like a chicken.

I believe I can use this answer again.

Also, yeah, it's a cartoon. The laws of physics do not apply if comedic effect is required.

Just a random thing I need help with:
I need a link to an article (I think it was on KYM sometime) about internet anonymity versus accountability and Mark Zuckerburg v. the guy who made 4chan. I need it for a research project. I'm also trying to find some way to fit ponies/bronies into the equation.
HELP PLEEZE!

Making sense out of chaos? That's kind of like organization, another of Twilight's skills. XD

The first step to creating a fully fleshed out character is to conceptualize almost every detail about them, even before you come up with a name. (This is the part of my character building guide by the way.) With MLP FCs, it's fairly easy to build the basic outline of a character by starting with a special talent or profession, then building outwards from there.

@Everyone- Thanks for the help. Let's see if I've got this crosses fingers

Have some Pinkie (I hope).

Comedy > Gravity

BARROWMAN! TWILIGHT! Anyways, Grace is a synonym for beauty, so it could be something related to that.

Apparently, the fourth wall doesn't count either. Not yet, Pinkie!! Like I said, Sweetie Belle is still very young. When Twilight was her age she didn't know much magic (until the sonic rainboom).

It worked.

I admit, I had the same reaction the first time I tried to (successfully) post a pic.

Stop her before she break the fourth wall crash again……nevermind

Vundabar! Now we're getting somewhere.

Hmmm, grace and beauty. We don't want to take Rarity's thing, so we best avoid fashion, how about a dancer? That definitely goes well with the name Grace, and I haven't really seen one before.

They're AAAAALLL MissingNos.

Yeah that could work! Just gotta make sure she doesn't dance to Evil Enchantress.

Sweet Apple Massacre is… just… bleh… It's not horrible since it's so horribly out of character of him. So time for some cute: Fluttermac!

Edit: If SAM was more well written, like Cupcakes, I would listen to the whole thing, but since it isn't, I'm stopping for right now. I'll start again after I'm mad at myself.

Why would you read that?

@Connor: D'aww.

Really, the only ship I'm a sailor on is Lyra and Bon-Bon, because at this point it's all but canon.
