BroNYCon PMV Last Call

For those entering the BroNYCon PMV contest, the last call has been issues for all entries, check out the copy paste from Purple Tinker after the break!

Pony Activity Book Out in Norway

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Norwegian Brony has sent us this gallery of scans from a FiM activity book he found in a local store. It has everything you'd probably expect- stock vectors, easymode puzzles, and pink Celestia stickers. You know, I never bought into Hasbro's reasoning behind making the Celestia toy pink. They say it sells better because it's pink, but, to quote Apple Cider- that's why we have Pinkie Pie!

Anyway, gallery's here.

Comic: How Often Do You

A sequel to the "Do you pee in the shower" comic from a few days ago.  The topic this time around? How often do you read a good book.... Yep.

Also some Cele being the benevolent leader she is below

National Pony Writing Month Pep Talk Week 3

Week three of the National Pony Writing Month was hopefully a huge success for all of you participating.  Siraj has another pep talk for you all after the break!

Twilight's Fiction Writing Guide

Hm. I can't imagine where I've seen this before.

Anyway, fanfiction writers- sit up and take notice. Still trying to get a grasp on that elusive lightning in a bottle that really makes a story worth reading? You might want to try giving this a shot. Mister-Hand sends this to us in hopes that it can help you guys like it's helped some of the writers over on DeviantArt. In it, the second-best pony walks- er, trots you through some of the very basics of writing compelling works of fiction. Kurt Vonnegut abound!

Game: Iron Pony Challenge

The email this came in asked me if I liked stock descriptions. To that, I respond- does Pinkie Pie like parties?

Compete in over six events, challenging different skills each time. Have fun, earn achievements, and vie for the high score along the way! Still not convinced? Try it out and you'll be hooked!

New Submission Email and Bronycon

Source

As some of you may have picked up over the past few weeks, I will be attending BroNYCon from the 23-26th.  During this time I probably wont be able to deal with the email load.  Luckily we have Phoe and Cereal for that!

I've set up a new submission email that all three of us have access to.   We will be testing it out for the next week or so, and continuing with it if everything works out. 

You can find all of the information for it at the post below

Episode Gap Clarification

I have been getting a whole bunch of email about this, so It's time to clear it up.

The other day a post went up letting everyone know that the discord series (episodes one and two) would have a gap after them before Episode three airs.

A lot of people seem to have misread it, so here is a clarification!

Episode 1
Episode 2

GAP

Episode 3

In other words, we won't see episode three the following week.  The discord series is repeating during it's time slot instead.  Return of harmony part two WILL be airing on Saturday the 24th. 

Hopefully that explains it better.  Now back to pony.

Comic: Friendship is Science

More DEEP Discord Stuff, because DEEP is COMPELLING. 

Friendship is Science does make a good point.. Ponies tend to be completely oblivious to the pain of others sometimes.

Story: U-Harmony (New Part 10!)

[Comedy] [Shipping]

Author: Ebon Mane

Description: Twilight's curiosity pushes her to go where no bookworm has gone before: on dates. Dates with lots of unfamiliar (and not so unfamiliar) mares. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

A parody of dating websites in general, named after eHarmony.

U-Harmony (Update Part 10!)

Music: Chocolate Rain Pony Remixes / One Man Band GATG Cover

People keep sending me modified Chocolate Rain songs, so have a few! Below you can find two of the ones I didn't lose track of with the surge of discord/chocolate rain/ect pmv's.

I also tossed a one man band in there for those that don't feel like celebrating Tay Zonday.  

Story: Equestria War Z: An Oral History of Zombie Pony War (Update Part 5!)

[Grimdark-War] [Crossover]

Author: CoffeeGrunt

Description: Theatrics call it the Howling Hunger. The religious, the Rapture. The politicians and bureaucrats of the United Equestrian Democracy simply call it "Equestria War Z." My name is Quill Stroke, and I write these stories with the permission of the ponies that tell them. Without the pony element of this long and horrific war, I believe history will simply call it another natural disaster, allowing the tragedies and massacres that occurred to reoccur.

Nightly Roundup #104

I'm surprised there isn't a fic about this yet.  Poor deluded Rarity.

Have some news!

Pocket Ponies: Wonderbolts Edition

A new set of pocket ponies have been released.  Go buy some high gloss thick paper and deck out the WORLD!

Baldur's Gate Pony Mod

A while back, a certain image popped up that got a few people excited for a pony mod in Baldurs Gate.  While it may be a bit too difficult to hack in some actual pony sprites, someone has thrown together a pack that adds a full part with portraits/sound effects/ color combinations added in human form.   

It works for most of the infinity engine games, including:

Baldurs Gate 1
Baldurs Gate Tutu
Baldurs Gate 2
Icewind Dale
Icewind Dale 2
