Ponychan Pony Letters Project

A brony from Ponychan is doing a letters from the ponies project, where you write letters, and they write you back!  Apparently he is doing a good job of it, and keeping everypony in character, so if you use your imagination it should be fun!

You can find the Google doc of it here, along with all relevant information on where to send your letters and how to get them featured.

I think Google should start promoting ponies at this point with how much we use their document system. 

I'm not sure if this can be considered fanfiction or not, so I'll just roll with it being not fanfiction until someone complains!

Also a Letters to Rainbow Dash Facebook page!

Here is a copy paste from letter brony! 
QUESTIONS=GOOD
HATRED=GOOD
PHILOSOPHY=GOOD
"I'M A SPACE MONSTER GRRR"=BAD
PONY TO PONY=BAD (seriously, I only did it that one time to open up a storyline, and that was before the ED post existed. I might do it once more.)
LOVE=GOOD
LETTERS THAT ARE THE EXACT SAME AS OTHER LETTERS=BAD
LETTERS THAT THROW OUT EXISTING STORY FANON=BAD
HISTORY=GOOD
OVERLY SILLY=DWAYNE

Am I the only one confused? Do we send our letters in somewhere? Or is one person just sort of...writing them all, the letters sent and the replies. Can I send a letter?

...Damnit. Sethisto, I know you wanted to do right, but this is just one guy. He had to take 6 hours a day trying to write to all of us from Ponychan, now that you've sent this to everyone from Eqd...Don't expect him to be able to respond to all letters now. *Banging head on bed* *Not happy*

@Anonymous:

Yes, you can send a letter. They go to ponyletters@gmail.com, and...well, that's about it. Make sure to include who you're writing to though.

This is awesome. It reminds me a bit of "Calls for Cthulhu" (which was also awesome).

Landon said...

How the heck am I supposed to work this? I mean, the introduction in that document is kind of confusing, so I'd participate if I wasn't so confused about the whole thing and how to do it. If anyone can give me any help in understanding, let me know.

There ya go :D

Minalkra said...

@Landon this document was compiled by one of the letter writers to help folks over at Ponychan find all the batches without having to dig through the thread itself. the actual guy doing the letter thing is ponyletters@gmail.com. also, this is one guy doing it all for now, so . . . if there is a huge influx of letters, it might take a while to do them up.

oy i do not envy psuedo this.

Gaston Raveslikenoone! said...

Well Landon, the person that posted this SHOULD of read the article on Ponychan a little better in the first place. Basically, you could ask them a question based on culture, or maybe proclaim of evil like in Qetuo's letters, it can vary. Here, it's a link to where the article first started.

Landon said...

@Minalkra

Ok, thanks, but I do have one or two questions. Do we have to use a specific name, like "Qetuo" or "Gig"?

Also, do all letters follow the same continuity? Like do they always have to follow the responses of the other letters posted by that character or can they go a different direction or give different ideas regarding Equestrian culture? I haven't read through them all yet, and I don't know if they all follow the same responses or continuity for the same character.

Minalkra said...

@Landonno, you can be purely anonymous i'm sure, though it helps to sign something, even if it is just anonymous. also, the letters fellow doesn't post email addresses so no worries about that. as to continuity, i think it has been following continuity thus far but i don't really know if you can pick-and-chose. i've personally been ignoring Queto and some of the sillier wrestling bits but that's because i'm a stick in the mud and no fun.

Mini-Shot said...

The Gummy letter is my favorite.

Pseudonym said...

Okay, guys... uh...

This is Pseudonym.

I might start editing what actually goes up, because I have a feeling that there's gonna be a MASSIVE influx of letters to this.

I MAY start recruiting helpers if this become unmanagable.

Still, display name. I REALLY wish you hadn't of put the email up.

Purplefoxtail said...

I'd probably go with the helpers Pseudonym. It'd be better for everypony's (or who ever sends them in) letters to be be answered. I mean, personally I'd prefer my letter to be answered by someone other than you (no offense) than to be completely ignored :/ I'm sure there are lots of bronies willing to help :)

DEAR STRONGBAD, HOW DO YOU TYPE WITH HOOVES ON...

Pseudonym said...

@Purplefoxtail

Yeah. I guess. I dunno...

I'll see how swamped i get.

Gaston Raveslikenoone! said...

@Pseudonym

Oh Suede Shoes, I really hope you get some support. God and Celestia knows how many letters are gonna stack in...Ugh. Whoever sent this in I am gonna write an angry letter to. Angry Angry Angry. Not Happy.

Anonymous said...

I sent 12 letters :)

Anonymous said...

Wow, I had no idea he finally got this going. I'd thought he'd decided to finish the letters to Luna series first.

Yay.

Kujiiro said...

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson appears to be Equestria's Interdimensional Postal Ponyguard now. I wonder how he got there...

Pseudonym said...

Okay.


Let's set some ground rules.

QUESTIONS=GOOD
HATRED=GOOD
PHILOSOPHY=GOOD
"I'M A SPACE MONSTER GRRR"=BAD
PONY TO PONY=BAD (seriously, I only did it that one time to open up a storyline, and that was before ED existed.)
LOVE=GOOD
LETTERS THAT ARE THE EXACT SAME AS OTHER LETTERS=BAD
LETTERS THAT THROW OUT EXISTING STORY FANON=BAD

Seth, can you please add that to the main post?




Also, there won't be an update on Monday or Tuesday, but there will probably be a much larger update on Wednesday to make up for it.

Pseudonym said...

Oh also

HISTORY=GOOD

Pseudonym said...

And one more

OVERLY SILLY=DWAYNE

Anonymous said...

I really hope this isn't gonna stay bumped for long...

Kujiiro said...

Finally got through it all. That... was amazing. This is like... I don't know, but it's freaking awesome. The guy behind this has got to be the coolest brony ever.

That Queto or whatever guy is kinda ruining it, though. This gives me the thought that we would ruin our first chance with pony contact.

Also, the abacus one. Best one ever xD

Anonymous said...

I have read all of the available letters and responses so far, and they are extremely well done! It really adds back story to the characters, and it is fun to read their responses to various sensitive questions that wouldn't be brought up in the show. XD

@Anonymous

Yeap, I'm amazed by Pseud's capacity to answer. Always coherent, it's like he has a Equestria Encyclopediae Universalis in front of him x).

I'm a little disappointed that it didn't update today.

@Anon

oh but it did!

Gaston Raveslikenoone! said...

Hey Psuedo...I wonder, where did your Thread go on Ponychan? I'm getting no signal. I was talking about getting a new page for it...but...oh well.

JABgamer said...

And finally, after many letters, and 30 batches.

It has ended.

It was a good run though...

Pseudonym said...

Aye.

I MAY start it again one day.

JABgamer said...

REALLY?

If you do, I will support you all THE way with multiple letters!
