• April Foals Competiton Complete!

    Hooray! April foals has come to a close! My poor side bar will once again be free to display questionably pony polls and other nonsense. 

    Thanks to everyone that participated! I'm sure I sound like a broken record when I say that I'm still amazed at how many people entered, but it's the truth!

    The winners of the final story competition are below!

    First place gets a Madmax Drawing, and second place will receive Portal 1.

    Also thank you to all the reward donators!  It made this whole contest a lot more interesting. 

    Here are the final poll results.  That was a crazy close last hour for the top 2, with a margin of only one vote for a good 10 minutes or so. 


    Grats to Blueshift2k! You totally deserve it! I'll send Madmax a message on deviantart letting her know you won. 

    Anyway thanks again for all the participation!  These ponies wouldn't be anywhere near their current internet phenomenon status without this amazing community backing it up.  If we keep this up, the 7 month pony drought won't be anywhere near as devastating to my equine starved brain!

    5. Hats off to everyone who participated in this. What surprised me was that most of the fics were good.

      Hopefully we can do another fanfic contest at some point... and set it up so that we don't have two weeks of April Fools.

      Which, when you think about it... 2 weeks of April Fools is the best prank ever.

    6. Please never do this again Seth. It was mentally draining and annoying to read the same fic over and over again. People stopped paying attention after a few days of nonstop "What's Pinkie Pie's prank going to be in this fic?" I'm willing to bet that if you'd randomized the order of the fics, Leafing and Last Geaming wouldn't have gotten nearly so many votes. Though they were really good stories; there were a lot of really good stories.

      But they were really, really similar really good stories.

    7. Well congrats Last Gleaming. I'm going to go back to my living nightmare of the fruit cake wars, unless ther is more fun to be had for bizzare ideas. I'm working on Mail Ponies 2, but I could use some help.

      Now click my name to get an idea of what I thought of the competition. It was like that.
