Story: I Am Chaos

[Random][Slice of Life] "The style and formatting might turn some people off, but everything is in this story for a purpose. It's glorious to see it all work. -Pre-reader who likes sky pirates"

Author: Feather Sigil

Description: You think you know me so well, don’t you? I’m a spirit of chaos, and nothing else. You don’t even know the half of it! Sit back and indulge me for a little; I’ll make you understand what it truly means to be chaos itself.

Source Filmmaker - Way better than Gmod for Ponies!

As many of you Source enthusiasts have figured out by now, the Source Filmmaker was released back during the Pyro update.  We have had a whole bunch of Gmod ponies over the last year or so (Ever since the models were released), but this new program takes it to a whole new level.

The new and improved pony models were also released pretty recently, and so far they all work.  There are supposedly a few bugs in the eyes, but the program overall gives much greater freedom, as well as being easier to use than what we had access to in Gmod.

Check out a few examples:

Meet the Applejack
(Not) so good day
Rejected Pinkie
Derpy And Secrios

Now, the reason I bring this whole thing up.  Would you all be interested in a sort of "learn source filmmaker" event?  We have enough mods/assets to do pretty much anything with it at this point, and one thing I love to do with EQD is watch things evolve.

Discuss it in the comments!

Crave Online Interviews the FiM Cast at Comic Con!

Remember back in the day when interviews were a once in a blue moon thing?! That sure did change!

Crave did a short interview with all 5 of the show staffers who popped up at Comic Con, and the interviewer herself (in the middle) was decked out in a Pinkie Pie costume to make it all the sweeter.

Check it out here!

Story: The Powers of Harmony (Update Part 29-30!)

[Adventure]

Author: CyborgSamurai

Description:

The storm is breaking on the Horizon.

It's been two months since the battle against Nightmare Moon. Luna is recovering, Celestia is busy turning the government back into a diarchy, and the Mane Six have returned to their lives. All seems well, but when Celestia discovers that half of the power of the Elements of Hamony have been transferred to each of the Bearers, she decides to send thirteen mysterious members of the Royal Guard to monitor them as they manifest and develop their new abilities.

However, there's more going on than meets the eye. The sins of a forgotten war still linger, and an ancient evil lurks in the shadows, just waiting for the right time to strike. The Mane Six suddenly find themselves once again at the heart of a conspiracy to bring about Eternal Night, and only by awakening their powers and realizing their full potential can they do anything to stop it.

Fortunately, they're not alone. Friends both old and new will help them along the way, and an unseen force will guide them as it seeks to right a wrong made thousands of years ago. The Bearer's journeys will take them outside the borders of Equestria and into the world beyond, and when they return, they'll have the power and experience necessary to save the world, and bring about balance in all things.

Brony Thank You Fund Announces Calarts Scholarship Fundraiser

So, some really really big news from our friends at the Brony Thank You Fund. As part of their continuing efforts to not only say thank you to those who brought us Friendship is Magic but also provide a strong representation of what it means to be a brony, have announced their plans to start fundraising for a permanent Calarts scholarship. Incredible. The bullet points are below, but you should really check below the page break for the full press release. It's a doozy.

• The Brony Thank You Fund is beginning a new fundraising campaign, to endow a permanent named scholarship in animation at the California Institute of the Arts (Calarts).

• To kick off the fundraising drive, we are going to offer the chance to win one of the very rare oversized San Diego ComicCon Season 1 Posters, signed by all the voice actors, to anyone making a donation of $10 to the Fund on the fund website before the end of July (multiples of $10 get you multiple chances.)

Howard Stern Reports On Ponies!

How have you guys not ponified him yet? I guess I'll just use this one from google images.

Howard Stern sent a few people over to Bronycon to report on the pony thing.  In the usual media fashion, they only actually played interviews from cloppers and depressed people.    You can probably guess how that turned out!

Might want to avoid the comments if you are squeamish, this one is bound to get bombarded.  

Check it out after the break, as well as a new Bronycon press release!
