She looks ready to complain for hours on end about her chibi form--is she Lucentia?

I AM THE STORMFATHER. I CAN NO MORE TURN OFF MY CAPS LOCK THAN I CAN REFUSE TO SEND THE STORMS.

AT PRECISELY 6400 REPUTATION POINTS, LITTLE LISTENER.

I AM THE STORMFATHER! I WILL NOT BE DOWNVOTED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO KILL ME!

I've been wondering what would happen if Backtrack viewed a Weeping Angel in the past.

Ponies are the undisputed "Most Awesome" type of profile picture, but we're tolerant enough to accept chibis and the like. I am the best at finding hidden messages, since I have the OCD-habit of highlighting text as I read it.
-
Wait... is that a chibified Voidgaze as your avatar?
-
I like the Bamboozler and Energy Diffusi! And yes, I am still working on that post. It'll be up as soon as I can manage,which shouldn't be too much longer. * crosses fingers * I would characterize this as a terrifically awesome idea.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When there's a planning thread for the local Steelheart RP with easily seven times as many pages. -
I just realized that the six primary species in my science fiction setting each correspond to one of the Elements of Harmony.

It will be interesting to see how Funtimes reacts to Backtrack, since the two have never officially met. Would she see him as a potential friend, trying to gather him into her party? Or would she brush him off as simply one of Lightwards' lackeys? Perhaps most importantly--would Funtimes admire his sunglasses?

I like this idea. Quiver, are you the ringleader of this project? We have no admins on board the project right now, but you're both the originator of the concept and somewhat of a forum celebrity in your own right. Do you plan on supplying us with our first prompt(s) once the full logistic have been planned out?
-
Yes. As you can see, we take our Sanderson theories very seriously.

Merciful Domi... 0.o I don't suppose anyone would like to upvote this post a bunch of times? Just until I pass the Herald rank?

It's debatable how cooperative Backtrack might be in this endeavor. "And to your left you'll see the defining moment that tore the Trattner family apart. But you haven't seen anything yet! Look to your right and you'll see me asking Charlotte Taylor out on a date in high school. Do you see that? She totally blew me off! OH THE HUMANITY!!"

We totally need a non-canon Thanksgiving special where Lucentia makes up with her brother and learns to be grateful for her lot in life.

Whoops, sorry. Backtrack can see the past of any location provided he's physically present in said location. When he's in The Dalles he sees The Dalles' history; when he's in Portland he sees Portland's history. In this respect he's quite similar to the camera in Legion. His secondary power is gaining an innate sense of where people have been throughout their lives, but only if he meets them face-to-face. When he met Lightwards, he was able to sense that he'd lived much of his life in Sacramento; when he saw Remington, he was able to tell that he'd lived in The Dalles. The first power can be shared with anyone he touches, allowing them to see the past of a location. The secondary power can not be shared, and even if it could, his personal history power is far more abstract. In short, no. In order to show Lightwards What Happened in The Dalles, he'd have to first transport Lightwards to the city. He has to be physically present in a location in order to see said location's history.

When other people dream about having a higher reputation than you do. -
Actually, no. You see, ponies belong to the horse family, which in turn is part of the larger order Perissodactyla, or the odd-toed ungulates. Gazelles, however, are a part of Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. There are a number of radical morphological dissimilarities between ponies and gazelles, beginning with the number of toes that make up their respective hoof structures... ... Ahem. Sorry, you awakened the armchair zoologist that lives in my head. The worst part is that "Love and Monsters," like "Daleks in Manhattan," was founded upon an intriguing premise that simply went in the wrong direction.

I've actually seen some awesome science fiction focused around a species as a whole. I might actually play with that idea, since the Nyssans are my current worldbuilding project. That is an awesome Gillepony. Now I just need to figure out how to ponify a Gazelle-Person... Doctor Who's an amazing program. You're in for a treat, mail-mi. I concur with TwiLyght's episode recommendations, and would like to add "Blink" and "Human Nature / The Family of Blood." Scratch that, just watch the whole series, it's amazing. Oh. "Love and Monsters." It says a lot about the episode that the main antagonist was the creation of a small child who won a contest. While I've seen some amazing things come out of a child's imagination, the villain of "Love and Monsters" really feels like a contest winner. :/

See, whenever I try to plan a story my brain screams "This story isn't worth writing if I can't fit the Nyssan Gazelle-People into it!" Never mind the fact that I don't even know who the protagonist would be, who the antagonist would be, or even what the basic plot would be. I've got a lot of splotchy worldbuilding covering half a galaxy, and nothing to do with it and no directions to expand it in. Maybe I'll just write a story with a Nyssan Gazelle-Person as the main character. That'll solve all my problems, right? Thanks. I just don't like feeling like I'm wrecking things for everybody else. I tried writing earlier today, but I've still been down in the dumps and I haven't been able to write anything decent. Hopefully tomorrow I can put my post together.

Is it odd that I actually find ponification to be somewhat helpful in my characterization? I guess it helps since it forces me to visualize my characters in a way I wouldn't normally think to do, compelling me to think of which defining traits of the character need to be included in the pony. (Sadly I haven't had the opportunity to ponify any entirely original characters... simply as I don't have any worth the effort so far. I'm lousy at creating characters without some sort of hook idea. Original planets and alien races? Got 'em by the dozen. A single character with enough distinctiveness to warrant a pony? I've got nothing of the kind.) Entirely my fault. The stagnation, I mean. I've been having trouble finding the time to write a long post these past few days. I'm really going to try writing something tomorrow. And again, I'm very sorry for holding up the RP.
-
Anything's possible. Provided I can find my original avatar, of course. Since it was kind of lost on my old, crashed computer. :/ Agreed. That was a brilliantly written scene, and I'm eager for your original works as well. Of course, I almost doubt your full commitment to your original project--as far as I know, neither Susan Gillespie nor Charles Whitelaw have been ponified.
-
Awesome!

I can definitely get behind this. I think it's great that participants will be permitted to run wild with whatever their given prompt is. How precise or abstract are these prompts likely to be? Should we expect vague prompts like this: or detailed prompts like ? Since I'm asking a bunch of questions anyway... if the details can be compiled in time, would December be our first run?
