QUESTIONS CLOSED!
It's time to ask me questions! I'm probably the pony that no one wants to ask stuff to, so, I'm in the middle! Phoe will be on tomorrow night to field all of the real questions.
So let's see how this goes! I'll let you know when I stop accepting questions. Let's shoot for half an hour or so. Same post format as Seth's, so refresh to see what I've answered.
Ready?
Go!

What's with the name?
It comes from the phrase 'serial velocity' which I found while browsing around looking for a name.

What do you do when you aren't working on the blog?
I'm in summer classes for university, so I'm often either doing homework of reading something out of a textbook. I also write fiction when I get a chance, and... that's pretty much it! I'm a boring pony.
-----Roman500 said...
So Cereal, why Rarity?
I have a thing for white ponies. I can't explain it! I love Scratch and Sweetie Belle, too.
-----Anonymous said...
What's your favorite cereal?
It varies from day to day. Sometimes it's Honey Bunches of Oats, and sometimes it's Captain Crunch.

How did you discover the show?
I saw some reaction images on /v/ of Pinkie, and I had no idea what they were from. So, I asked, and was directed to /co/. Spent a week lurking the threads, watched an episode, and the rest is history.
-----Sir Peppermint Jam said...
What is your stand on OC ponies? I know that a few bronies don't really like them, but none have given me a valid reason why. Can you?
I think people don't like OC ponies because it's so easy to mess them up. A well-written OC pony can be a joy to read about, but it requires a lot of thought and a lot of planning to make one fit into the world. Basically, if you're new, don't do them.
-----Dylan said...
What is your relationship with Sethisto and Phoe? Did you know each other before EqD?
I didn't know either of them the blog, no. We met through ponies!
-----Luna said...
QUICK! Cookies? Or Cream?
The fate of Equestria, neigh, the world rests on this answer!
Both! At once! In my mouth!
-----HeatWave said...
How did you catch Seth's attention to such a degree that he began to allow you more privileges with the blog's development?
I bugged him a lot, basically. I pre-read stories for him a lot, and one day he asked me to join. Pretty much it. I'm sure that approach wouldn't work now!
-----Anonymous said...
With the record breaking sales on your "My first wing bondage kit" what's next for Equestrian Innovations?
I'll get back to you when the lab boys do.
-----S.Aura Knight said...
So, Cereal Velocity. What caused you to found Equestrian Innovations? What kinds of products does your company manufacture beyond the ones we've seen commercials for?
In case anyone is totally clueless as to the origins, I am indeed parodying Cave Johnson and the Portal 2 advertising with EQI. They're evolving past that, though. Slowly but surely.
-----Daffodil said...
What's your favorite type of story to write? To read?
I like both reading and writing light-hearted comedy stuff like Accolade, and occasionally like to write more serious things like Nightmare when I'm in the mood to tell an actual story.
-----Zarkanorf said...
Cereal, do you like real-life equines (such as horses and seahorses) with at least half passion as you do for vectored pastel equines?? Also what is your opinion about Flutter-ponies (not Fluttershy; the actual butterfly/pony creature)?
I actually do not care for real horses, but I have nothing against them, per say. And as for the second part of your question... I have no idea what you're talking about!
-----Anonymous said...
Who'd win in a fight, you or Seth?
I think what you meant to ask was, "Would Trixie or Rarity win in a fight?" The answer is, of course, Rarity.
-----Shomyooh said...
Did you ever read "Cupcakes"?
If so, what did you think about it?
Never read it, don't intend to.
-----Anonymous said...
Single?
Was that an invitation to buy me dinner? I love Papa Johns, by the way.
-----Anonymous said...
So Cereal, what do you think about Trixie?
I never paid any attention to her until Seth started roleplaying her. She has a nice color scheme, don't you think?
-----RobotPony said...
Can you tell us the tuna sandwich story that you mentioned a while ago?
Oh, I forgot about that. So one day I was making tuna sandwiches, and I wanted to toast them. So, I threw them in the toaster oven, browned one side, and reached in with a spatula to turn the sandwiches over. Luckily, I missed, hit the side of the sandwich, and sent it into the heating element instead. The sandwich proceeded to catch fire.
So yeah, I set a sandwich on fire. Best cook ever, basically.

Am I too late to ask a question?
Yeah, sorry. I'm gonna end questions and go back and answer anything interesting I missed.
-----Anonymous said...
Favorite video game?
I really really enjoyed Knights of the Old Republic 2, to the point where I think I've played it through to completion at least a dozen times in wildly varying fashions. Jedi Masters and force powers can suck it. Kreia is so hard to kill with those.
-----Carnith said...
How much of your love for ponies do friends/family know?
I have literally told almost no one that I know in real life about ponies. Where I live, that would not earn me a great reputation. Family included.
-----Joe said...
Cereal, if you could be any one pony...
Twilight Sparkle. No question.
-----Babadingldoo said...
If your favorite pony is Rarity (or any white pony), then why is your blogger avatar Scootaloo?
Because Scootaloo is a badass, that's why.
-----S.Aura Knight said...
Are you a unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony?
You'll see later! Trust me. It's worth the wait. Wink wink.
-----Anonymous said...
What is your opinion on shipfics, or the more extreme clopfic?
Clopfics? Is that where ponies build things with hammers? Clop, clop? I'm not familiar with your strange building tools.
-----Anonymous said...
Why do you hate me?
I don't hate you, anon! Why wub woo. If you had a name, I'd tattoo it on my flank.
-----Dr. Henry Killinger said...
As a fanfic writer yourself, what advise would you give others who are maybe writing their first ones?
I'd probably say to start with these. Take the advice in them and try to develop your own sense of style and storytelling flow.
-----Anonymous said...
Why can't we get a picture of your sexy face?
Because I don't have one!

Does anyone you know in real life knows that you're a brony?
Will Phoe be participating in one of these? Tekaramity?
This seems to be the only place to ask questions, so here goes:
What is the blog's stance on "troll"fiction? If a trollfic was actually well-written( not like those horrible abominations of grammar most trollfics are) and was already at the word minimum, but much, MUCH more random than most "random" fics(the only thing that strings each chapter together is a Fluttershy-shark hybrid), would it still be passed to the pre-readers or just "sent to the moon"?
Finally, thank you for your time today! This is a nice thing you are doing here for us, I appreciate it a lot!
"Both! At once! In my mouth!"
That's what she said.
How long do you think the integrity of this fandom and community will last? Do you see yourself writing pony fics in a year or two, as long as the fandom is still thriving, or will you have moved on to different, more boring, things?
Since you are trying to be Cave Johnson, what do YOU do When life gives you lemons? And is your name Sean?
what character do you think needs to appear more often in the show?
What is your opinion on shipfics, or the more extreme clopfic?
Hmm. Maybe I should try a legitimate question this time.
What's your favorite part of being what amounts to a moderator for the blog? And, y'know, about ponies in general?
@Anonymous
Can Applebloom on the battlefield?
@Answer to my question: I thought as much, but that was to clear it up for everyone else and definitely not me. However, I've got another few questions for you:
Are you a unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony? Do you know what species Seth and Tek are? [s]Will you give me your MSN/YahooID/Google+ account info?[/s]
Flutter-ponies, you don't want to know.
Per se. PER SE. Not "Per Say". Just se-ing.
Hey Cereal. I was just wondering, do you know any bronies in real life? Do people know of your love of MLP:FiM? Would you openly admit to watching the show if someone asked you?
Also I love you.
Who would win in a fight and how, Pinkamena Pie or Freddy crugher
I can't find a Facebook page for Equestria Daily, and I desparately want to click the Like button. Any plans to put a page up?
QUACK?
how did you end up writing on equestria daily?
What are the future expansion plans for the site?
Who's your favorite princess? Luna or Celestia?
Answer carefully.. you wouldn't want one of their legions bucking down your door!
Will you blog whatever comes to your mind about ponies?
I'd love to hear what you have to say...
Seth and Phoe included...
CEREAL.
Y U SO AWESOME?
If your favorite pony is Rarity (or any white pony), then why is your blogger avatar Scootaloo?
Whats your favorite CMC Pegasus and earth poni?
-Ivan2294
Do you like muffins?
Cereal, if you could be any one pony...
Besides My Little Pony, what are your other interests?
What would your ideal MLP video game be about?
According to sources that wish to remain anonymous for now, Equestrian Innovations has been blatantly stealing technology such as the patented Simple Tape® from the well'known research corporation Black Mane and claiming it as their own.
Any comment on this?
Am i too late to ask a question?
Favorite video game?
Steam? XBL? PSN?
-Ivan2294
What is this, I don't even?
Or, more seriously; do you play any videogames?
What kind of merchandise do you really wish Hasbro would release?
Ever play any Fallout games? If so, or not, what's your opinion on Fallout: Equestria?
NEW QUESTIONS CLOSED
Gonna go back and answer some ones I might have missed in the fray.
How much of your love for Ponies do friends/family know?
You find a necklace that lets you turn into a pony, and you discover a way to mass produce it. Unfortunately, aliens come a month after the sales have rocketed and kidnap everyone wearing a necklace. YOU ARE TRAPPED ON AN ALIEN SHIP AS A PONY, AND YOU CANNOT TAKE THE NECKLACE OFF. WHAT DO YOU DO, CEREAL? WHAT CAAAN YOU DO?!! YOU MUST! DO! SOMETHIIIIIING!
Do you ever feel a desire to look back at older My Little Pony generations?
Answering a question to say you're not answering any more questions...
That's meta.
KOTOR 2? I have the newewstfound respect for you Cereal. And I know no more questions, but I must know, and I don't care if you don't answer it: Dark Side Exile or Light Side Exile?
See Im glad Im not the only one who likes Scootaloo.
On your poniburoo account you have some rule 34 pics favorited. do you believe that its acceptable for one who works for the flagship brony website to favorite such things? Also you favorited a first person human on pony clopfiction. Does this mean you support humans having sex with ponies?
I think that's all I'm gonna answer tonight. Gotta leave some mystery for later.
seems like i might have struck a chord. you shouldnt leave such things just laid out for people to find though. for shame
@S.Aura Knight
Light Side Exile is so much more fulfilling to play.

Why can't we get a picture of your sexy face?
Because I don't have one!
"GET A CAMERA, PHO-" I mean, "CEREAL!"
Do you like making cupcakes?
Oy, you answered my question. Thanks!
Don't ever read it, Cereal. EVER.
And you like KoTOR 2? Sweet!
Is Equestrian Innovations a real company?
@Cereal Velocity You mean with the bounty hunter lady? I don't know her name because I always play Dark Exile and thus get the Wookie. It's so much fun killing pretty much everyone.
Also, male or canon Exile? Forgot to ask that as well, although I'm going to guess male because of the Handmaiden. Disciple is so much better though, plus it's canon!
@S.Aura Knight
Definitely canon female Exile. It just makes the most sense, story-wise.
Really cereal? favoriting Human on pony porn? thats fucked up. You don't deserve to work for this website if you make careless mistakes like that.
If somepony offered you horse to eat would you take it? (its really good.)
Are we gonna be getting more of these?
@Cereal Velocity Oh, well then! Most people I know don't care for the canon when it comes to KOTOR 2. Pretty much only because of the Handmaiden, who is an almost instant extra Jedi companion. Still takes longer than Atton though.
But, well, that's about all I have in the way of random questions that aren't really actual questions but more discussion of a video game.
>asks sensitive question
>questions closed in ten seconds flat
Suspicious indeed.
What would you do if you woke up in Ponyville?
"So one day I was making tuna sandwiches......The sandwich proceeded to catch fire." - Cereal Velocity
I set fire to the pancakes in a Kid Cuisine, so I've got you beat on embarrassing cooking stories. I hit the "2" one too many times, and didn't find it suspicious that the microwave hadn't gone off until 22 minutes later....
Everything was fine, but my whole house smelled like ass and burnt pancakes for days.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but it was like a solid 15 minutes between "I am closing the questions" and "Why do you favorite rule 34". AKA, the question doesn't need to be answered because it was off by forever. The second "I'm done" is in reference to the fact that he went back and answered questions that he skipped over in the middle of the being questioned thing.
So yeah. Ask Phoe about her bondage obsession during tomorrow's questionnaire if you really want to open that topic up. And if I don't get to it first.
My face when Cereal Velocity is a Gary Larson fan (ie The Far Side):
/)^3^(\ SO AWESOME!!!
@S.Aura Knight
yeah phoe's got her issues too with keeping her "obsessions" off the site. In fact it seems like all the people who work for this blog have their demons. I wouldnt know about that tekaramity guy though.
Why didn't you answer my question, "Who is your favorite background pony?"
I feel kinda left out :(
DAMMIT!!! I missed it again! This is what I get for watching The King's Speech with my folks instead of lurking at my computer. In fact, I'll take a quote from said movie to apply to this situation: "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
Is there going to be any kind of set schedule to these, or will they be more along the lines of "Eh, I feel like doing this right now randomly"? I apologize if this has been answered, but I really would like to ask a question or two as well.
>Honey bunches of oats
Cereal confirmed for best blog pony
Is Equestrian Innovations a real company?
Please answer this question or else!!!
Goddammit.
GMT friendly next time please! :)
"Why can't we get a picture of your sexy face?
Because I don't have one!"
Cereal doesn't have a face? He's Slender Man!
Why do you keep doing these so late at night!
These threads are awesome but they are always at 4 am in my local time. Why must I enjoy sleep so much?
Noes! Too late again.
Aw, crap. I had a good question, too...
If Aperture Science acquired Equestrian Innovations or vice versa, what would be the first product they'd come out with?
