• Confirmed Gap Between Discord arc and Episode 3


    Looks like Sibsy was right- there is going to be a gap between this two-parter with Discord and the rest of season two. How big of a gap is uncertain at this point, but if we survived the entire summer without new pony, I'm sure we can manage a month or two with only this so-far fabulous two-parter to hold us over.

    /knock on wood

    Thanks to Micheal for the heads up!
  • Trilight Demo Test

        General Information

        • It is acceptable to submit your own work, don't be bashful! If we don't know about your awesome creation we can't post about it.
        • We receive many emails a day from a variety of sources. If you don't receive an email from us in response to your submission, please don't assume we ignored you. Not all messages will receive replies! 
        • Patience! While we do queue a lot of things for the blog it doesn't mean they will be posted instantly. Some things submitted may take up to a week or more to be posted, especially in the case of compilations. 
        • Generally, it's best to avoid things that are over 2 Weeks Old, especially on Youtube. Chances are it has already been posted or reviewed over that age. 

        Fanfiction
        • Please read the rules before submitting!  They have been updated. Stories that do not follow them will be deleted.
        • Head on over to the Submission Form to send your NEW story in for review.

            • No porn.
            • No gore.

                Plushies, Crafts, Cosplay, Customs

                • Customs are created from modified official merchandise. If your piece falls under this criteria, please send it in with the Custom tag in the subject line.
                • Crafts extend to everything outside of modified merchandise and plushies. If your piece fits that criteria, please send it in with the Craft tag in the subject line.
                • Plushies include everything from standard plushies, needle felt, crotchet, ect. If your piece fits this criteria, please send it in with the Plushie tag in the subject line.
                • Cosplay is handled a bit differently, but feel free to send in pictures of people dressed as ponies regardless. 
                General Hints and Tips for Submission
                • When submitting, try to submit only clear and well lit pictures. Blurry and dim pictures detract from your piece and may end up in it being rejected despite the quality of the work.
                • Please try to submit pictures that don't have watermarks on them. If you want to keep a watermarked image on your official gallery that is fine, but please include with your submission a copy of the non-watermarked image.

              • High-Res Pony Icon Set


                Just in case covering your desktop with the desktop ponies and having your wallpapers continuously rotate through your folder of six and a half dozen awesome pony wallpapers wasn't enough pony on your computer, now you can convert every feasible icon your programs use into these high-quality pony icons, too.

                Speaking of which, at the rate pony is completely taking over the world, I wouldn't be surprised if Intel and AMD released hardware support for pony in the next few years. How cool would that be? You'd have direct chip-level acceleration of all pony games, applications, and episode playback. Let's take that one step further; how about a dedicated pony chip required on all logic boards? The show would be so ubiquitous by that point that it would just make good business sense to include such a thing.

                You can find spikeslashrarity's icon set here, on DeviantArt.

              • Story Updates September 19

                Remember that post yesterday? Well it was only about half, so have part two of the story update queue.  I don't know what season two did, but you guys are updating these things at the speed of light lately.

                I did actually dig around some of the stories that were updated yesterday with this method, and two of them actually maxed out their google docs, forcing it into view only mode, so I don't think any are missing out on viewers.

                Just a reminder: New fics, and final update (complete) Fics will not be found here. It's also not the entire update queue.

                Anyway, you can find all them all after the break. As always please comment on their respective story posts, and not here.
