A brony from Ponychan is doing a letters from the ponies project, where you write letters, and they write you back! Apparently he is doing a good job of it, and keeping everypony in character, so if you use your imagination it should be fun!
You can find the Google doc of it here, along with all relevant information on where to send your letters and how to get them featured.
I think Google should start promoting ponies at this point with how much we use their document system.
I'm not sure if this can be considered fanfiction or not, so I'll just roll with it being not fanfiction until someone complains!
Also a Letters to Rainbow Dash Facebook page!
Here is a copy paste from letter brony!

ReplyDeleteSend letters there
Am I the only one confused? Do we send our letters in somewhere? Or is one person just sort of...writing them all, the letters sent and the replies. Can I send a letter?
ReplyDelete...Damnit. Sethisto, I know you wanted to do right, but this is just one guy. He had to take 6 hours a day trying to write to all of us from Ponychan, now that you've sent this to everyone from Eqd...Don't expect him to be able to respond to all letters now. *Banging head on bed* *Not happy*
ReplyDelete@Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteYes, you can send a letter. They go to [email protected], and...well, that's about it. Make sure to include who you're writing to though.
~Display Name
This is awesome. It reminds me a bit of "Calls for Cthulhu" (which was also awesome).
ReplyDeleteHow the heck am I supposed to work this? I mean, the introduction in that document is kind of confusing, so I'd participate if I wasn't so confused about the whole thing and how to do it. If anyone can give me any help in understanding, let me know.

There ya go :D
@Landon this document was compiled by one of the letter writers to help folks over at Ponychan find all the batches without having to dig through the thread itself. the actual guy doing the letter thing is [email protected]. also, this is one guy doing it all for now, so . . . if there is a huge influx of letters, it might take a while to do them up.
ReplyDeleteoy i do not envy psuedo this.
Well Landon, the person that posted this SHOULD of read the article on Ponychan a little better in the first place. Basically, you could ask them a question based on culture, or maybe proclaim of evil like in Qetuo's letters, it can vary. Here, it's a link to where the article first started.

@Minalkra
ReplyDeleteOk, thanks, but I do have one or two questions. Do we have to use a specific name, like "Qetuo" or "Gig"?
Also, do all letters follow the same continuity? Like do they always have to follow the responses of the other letters posted by that character or can they go a different direction or give different ideas regarding Equestrian culture? I haven't read through them all yet, and I don't know if they all follow the same responses or continuity for the same character.
@Landonno, you can be purely anonymous i'm sure, though it helps to sign something, even if it is just anonymous. also, the letters fellow doesn't post email addresses so no worries about that. as to continuity, i think it has been following continuity thus far but i don't really know if you can pick-and-chose. i've personally been ignoring Queto and some of the sillier wrestling bits but that's because i'm a stick in the mud and no fun.
ReplyDeleteThe Gummy letter is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOkay, guys... uh...
ReplyDeleteThis is Pseudonym.
I might start editing what actually goes up, because I have a feeling that there's gonna be a MASSIVE influx of letters to this.
I MAY start recruiting helpers if this become unmanagable.
Still, display name. I REALLY wish you hadn't of put the email up.
I'd probably go with the helpers Pseudonym. It'd be better for everypony's (or who ever sends them in) letters to be be answered. I mean, personally I'd prefer my letter to be answered by someone other than you (no offense) than to be completely ignored :/ I'm sure there are lots of bronies willing to help :)
ReplyDeleteDEAR STRONGBAD, HOW DO YOU TYPE WITH HOOVES ON...
ReplyDelete@Purplefoxtail
ReplyDeleteYeah. I guess. I dunno...
I'll see how swamped i get.
@Pseudonym
ReplyDeleteOh Suede Shoes, I really hope you get some support. God and Celestia knows how many letters are gonna stack in...Ugh. Whoever sent this in I am gonna write an angry letter to. Angry Angry Angry. Not Happy.
I sent 12 letters :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea he finally got this going. I'd thought he'd decided to finish the letters to Luna series first.
ReplyDeleteYay.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson appears to be Equestria's Interdimensional Postal Ponyguard now. I wonder how he got there...
ReplyDeleteOkay.
ReplyDeleteLet's set some ground rules.

Seth, can you please add that to the main post?
Also, there won't be an update on Monday or Tuesday, but there will probably be a much larger update on Wednesday to make up for it.
Oh also
ReplyDeleteHISTORY=GOOD
And one more
ReplyDeleteOVERLY SILLY=DWAYNE
I'm whiiiiining
ReplyDeleteI really hope this isn't gonna stay bumped for long...
ReplyDeleteFinally got through it all. That... was amazing. This is like... I don't know, but it's freaking awesome. The guy behind this has got to be the coolest brony ever.
ReplyDeleteThat Queto or whatever guy is kinda ruining it, though. This gives me the thought that we would ruin our first chance with pony contact.
Also, the abacus one. Best one ever xD
I have read all of the available letters and responses so far, and they are extremely well done! It really adds back story to the characters, and it is fun to read their responses to various sensitive questions that wouldn't be brought up in the show. XD
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYeap, I'm amazed by Pseud's capacity to answer. Always coherent, it's like he has a Equestria Encyclopediae Universalis in front of him x).
Batch 2: EPIC
ReplyDeleteTwilightApproves.jpg
Oh scratch that last one, they're all epic, and very in-character! I think I'll sen one to Twilight.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little disappointed that it didn't update today.
ReplyDelete@Anon
ReplyDeleteoh but it did!
Hey Psuedo...I wonder, where did your Thread go on Ponychan? I'm getting no signal. I was talking about getting a new page for it...but...oh well.
ReplyDeleteNew PC thread:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ponychan.net/chan/fic/res/18163.html
It's already up to batch 22.

And finally, after many letters, and 30 batches.
ReplyDeleteIt has ended.
It was a good run though...
Aye.
ReplyDeleteI MAY start it again one day.
REALLY?
ReplyDeleteIf you do, I will support you all THE way with multiple letters!
