It is now Rarity Day. What do you do during Rarity day?
1.) Set your Wallpaper to Rarity on all of your electronic devices
2.) Go give someone something with your unstoppable generosity
3.) Get a haircut, or do your hair (Bonus points if it's Rarity style)
4.) Wear something nice
5.) Post Rarity on your Facebook wall, Twitter Feed, Google Plus thingy, Instagram thingy, or anywhere else socially.
6.) Change your avatar to Rarity wherever you have avatars
And with that, Rarity day begins! -
Guess which computer programming pony has a birthday today? That's right! Our good and ever dependable friend and CEO of Equestrian Innovations, Cereal Velocity, has successfully completed another trip around the sun. Happy Birthday buddy, I hope your day is great and you get to eat a lot of cake! Have some Rarity (who is best pony for today) after the break and I urge you all to leave a comment for our hard working Rarity lover as well!

Everyone in the world told me I needed to post this little bit of news, so I got out of bed to do it.
Our favorite gravy boat is now on Twitter. You can find her @StTabitha.

Livestream Night, Livestream Night, Livestream Night!
I'm in a Luna mood. Let's play a game- each time you get one of the artists to draw Luna, you get a point. Whoever has the most points at the end of the night gets a hundred imaginary points*!
* points may or may not be useless
(We have Tetrapony up again because all of my artists bailed on me!)
CHANGELINGED

The new policy here on EQD seems to have knocked a few screws loose from Cereal. The poor guy just can't handle the lack of Rarity. We found him uploading... videos.
PK is currently working on a cure in the new laboratory extension we build for his laundry closet.
Just keep embracing the older ponies I guess! Hopefully we can bring him to the light eventually...

You know what I haven't gotten to do in a while? A full-on post with nothing but Rarity in it. And now I have a legitimate excuse to do so.
Ahem.
The Fighting is Magic team has released several pieces of Rarity-related news that you should all be interested in. Firstly, her stage music has been released, and it's just about as awesome as you'd expect the best pony's music to be. You can find that embedded after the break.
As a small addendum to that bit of best pony news, Rarity's voice actress for the game has also been chosen. She goes by the name of Hnilmik, and I must say, she does an excellent job capturing the character of the best pony. You can also find her audition after the break, and the announcement post from Mane 6 here.
Lastly, the team will be hosting a livestream on Tuesday, February 21, at 8pm EST. The developers and a few people from their internal QA testing program will be playing a few matches, showing the game's progress, and talking about the behind-the-scenes development process. You can find more information on that stream, including an FAQ, here.
And some more Rarity, just for good measure:

See that guy up there? That's Will freakin' Anderson, and he works at DHX Media. You know, the place where ponies are made. Tell me you've seen a cooler, more badass setup than that. Stop your clicky little keyboards right there, because if you were typing anything just now, you're wrong. This man is so awesome it hurts to even type it.
In case you already knew all that, I have some news about the finale of Season Two straight from this guy:
- The finale is confirmed to be a two-parter.
- The finale will have a song.
- Will Anderson is awesome.
I think I may be repeating myself. I will show myself the door.
Good evening, ponies.

Good evening, fillies and gentlecolts. How’s your day going so far? Good? Glad to hear it.
Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why some guy you’ve never heard of is asking you about your day on the internet’s most popular My Little Pony fansite. Is there a new blogpony? Is this some type of incredibly polite hacking attempt? Has Seth given control of the site to Nigerian princes to use as collateral during a multi-million dollar cash transaction?
Temporarily, no, and not yet.
I’m here on behalf of the EqD fanfiction pre-readers. For the past few weeks we’ve been dealing with a huge influx of fanfic that doesn’t look like it’s going to let up anytime soon. A good chunk of these are stories that have been resubmitted after being sent back for revisions. Unfortunately, many of these resubmissions have had very few changes made from their original drafts, which requires us to read them (again), make a list of problems (which is often strikingly similar to the previous list), and send these back to the author, after which the process will likely repeat itself.
This really jams up our queue and makes things take much longer than they normally should. After bouncing some ideas around, we have come up with a system that will hopefully solve the problem: a three-strike policy.
Here’s the short version: Stories can be sent back for revision three times before we stop looking at that story, barring special circumstances (for example, if a story is very close to being accepted but needs just one more round of editing, we’ll give it a free pass).
Now, I know that sounds rough. “But Daff,” you may be thinking, “isn’t it the pre-reader’s job to help me fix my work so I can get it on EqD?” Alas, dear reader, it isn’t. I wish we had enough time to sit down with every author and help edit their work to perfection, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Our job is to vet stories for quality and content, nothing more. But don’t give up just yet. There is still hope. The editors over on Ponychan’s /fic/ board do some incredible work, and would be more than willing to help any would-be author bring their story as close to perfect as possible (assuming said author reads the sticky at the top of the page before posting). Additionally, we pre-readers have our own thread where we’re happy to answer any questions related to submissions, content, or writing in general.
Between these two resources, I think any author is capable of getting their story up to snuff in under three submissions. We don’t like rejecting stories, but this is a necessary step to make life easier for all involved.
Keep on being awesome, EqD.
