Nightly Roundup #923

It's night and I didn't want to have another Maud header tonight so I grabbed the first thing I found that wasn't Maud. That is one vicious Flutterbat I must say!

Another weekend come and gone. Check what we have after the break and relax in the comments!

Simple PMV Compilation #72

Simply Applejack, just like these PMVS! We have five as always.  Head on down below the break for all of them! We even have one made entirely out of button mash scenes.  It's interesting that we have come far enough for something like that to be possible.

More Hints from Meghan McCarthy!

Season 4 is over, so this most likely relates to season 5 (or something else).  What do you think EQD? What could Meghan possibly be referring to?

 Thanks to Joshua for the heads up.

BABSCon announces #LuckoftheBabscon contest, Programming Schedule, and Call for Volunteers!

Poll Results: How Old Are You?

Apparently you guys liked this poll.  And apparently you are all mainly in the 18-21 range.  Lets hope those 1-10 year olds are careful on Google.

Onward to the next poll: Best New Supporting Character.  Find it on the side bar. 

FiM Writer M.A. Larson's Book Available for Pre-Order on Amazon

See this? This is M.A. Larson's biggest fan, and she just received her advance copy of his first-ever novel. Don't any of you worry, though -- we have no plans to transition to Pennyroyal Academy Daily before the first book comes out this October.

Head on over here to place a pre-order and say thanks to one of the folks who help bring us many a hearty laugh on Twitter (along with some pony episodes on the side, I guess).

Update: 'Cause I forgot to include a synopsis, you can find spoiler-free versions at the following websites. Amazon continues to be the only place you can pre-order without getting spoiled, though!

All indie bookshops have spoiler-free synopses! http://t.co/2G1V6By5RL http://t.co/U2B0W9XHmT http://t.co/yv65RANIiX http://t.co/dmjvoABe6V

This is a WTG with a mare who likes rocks. It is also a WTG with rocks.

This week's prompts are below the break.

Drawfriend Stuff #1107

Onward to art!

Comic: Ponies in Socks / Memories of the Sun / Truly Exhilarating / Maud About You / Stoneshipping / Doughnuts

Ponies in socks have been around for so long that I've sort of forgot when it all started. It's cute to say the least and technically accurate since real life horses wear socks too!

Story: Cacophony

[Adventure][Dark]

Author: MyMetalPony

Description: When the Manehattan Bash is attacked by a being that calls itself Cacophony, Thunder Growl is the only performer to escape being captured--because he was at the bar. He races back to the Bash just in time to have his flank handed to him by the unstoppable monster.
With his bandmates missing, Thunder Growl must face demons both within and without to track down Cacophony, unravel the mystery of the creature's power and its hatred of all things musical and harmonious, and rescue the ponies it has captured.
Luckily, he will not have to do it alone. Thunder's travels soon take him to Ponyville, where a certain group of friends are more than willing to lend their assistance... whether he wants it or not.

"Maud Pie": Episode Followup

I could put a long introduction piece here, but I think I can sum up everything I need to say in three words:

This episode rocks.

I'm PRB, and this is likely to be the most pun-filled episode followup that has ever appeared on EQD.

Story: Under the Sun's Wings (Update Part 14!)

Author: Foxy Kimchi

Join us on this fine Sunday morning, in an exuberant celebration of all things rocks.  No other object inspires such art.  No natural formation is so fundamental.  Wow.

And while you are at it, have an animation too, because its short and rocky, just like your soul.

Spotlight Music: Morning Mist / The Friendship Express / Chimera

1.) Morning Mist - SlyphStorm (Vocal - Symphonic Rock) 
2.) The Friendship Express (fan song) (Vocal - Acoustic/Country)
3.) Radiarc - Chimera (Instrumental - Orchestral)

Alicoronation

See, this is technically what should have happened if her clumsyness post season finale was any indication.

Get Twilight being alicorinated below!
