Interesting idea. Too bad I'm in a pitiful slump from my ultimate realization that I suck at writing fiction.

At least I know I can write a wicked good essay, so that makes me happy.

Maybe I could make a fanfic technical manual on some aspect of the world of Equestria. It would be boring as hell, but I'm sure at least someone out there gets off on technical description.

Obviously, since the Mun is going to be added to Kerbal Space Program in the next update, all NASA needs to do is take the most efficient rocket someone builds from that game that can fly to the Mun and back and copy it.

...I really suck at storytelling.
Not to say I'm giving up, but I doubt I'm going to make it much better without rewriting it with a completely different mentality.

It's so funny, everything I think I'm good at, I actually do pretty badly.

Glad I'm not a pony, my failure would be immortalized forever in the form of a blank flank.

Well, I've finished more of my story. I'm a terrible judge of my own quality, so please go over it and tell me what could be fixed or improved (or removed, if necessary).

They have a portal between their planet and Earth.

There won't be a recursion from them seeing themselves, but it will psyche them out. It's one of the few things I have planned, and it may hold a fairly large amount of significance in the story. Or it may not. Time shall tell.

Edit: Got some more done. Hopefully this won't turn into one of my "too long, didn't finish" projects that dot my history.

I hardly have any idea how I'm going to write it myself. I'm thinking that I'm just going to let the story tell itself as it flows out and hope it comes out well. I may use terminology or other stuff that isn't understandable from a not-me perspective, so if I include something confusing, let me know.

First part, couldn't figure out a title. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Any flames or other unfriendly behavior will get your name eternally defiled in-story.

Now that you said that I'm going to have to make a fanfic where ponies are actually sapiophobic and start a massive campaign to kill humanity after they accidentally discover the Earth.

Actually, that's not necessarily true. Sometimes you are just able to hear your heartbeat really well. I don't know what causes it but it happens to me sometimes.

I always just watch it on the telly. I get it as it airs and at the highest possible quality.

If I had the equipment, I'd probably set up a Bay 12-only livestream, but I don't. :(

Anyway, apparently my fic's been sent to the pre-readers already. I wasn't expecting it to happen overnight, but it did.

And fina

What happened with TFTD is that the bug that reset everything to 'Beginner' went unnoticed for a while. They made TFTD thinking it was too easy, and it came out to be pretty damn hard. One estimate is that its lowest setting was harder than Enemy Unknown's highest. And that's not counting the bugs.

In other news, I'm extra happy from the positive response for mine, and stressed because now I need to start scheduling my writing so I get new chapters up on a semiregular basis... :s

Magical secret to success: make several chapters and release on a regular basis while you keep working on new chapters. It's what major production companies do so if they're behind they can catch up without having to go into triple overtime.

Well, I finally got over my pointless fear and submitted my fanfic to EqD. Wish me luck.

Edit: Cute picture time!

Unfortunately, with the technology we have, the EM catapult we'd have to design that could safely send living beings into space would have to be pretty damn big. Not to say that we couldn't do it, but I'm not so sure anyone wants to have a gigantic rail/cannon-like object in their backyard, especially when it's going to be propelling objects past the sound barrier and creating a sonic boom every time it's fired.

This was on EqD, and it is amazing. Rainbow Dash Attack~ <3

Hate to be the party pooper (sorry Pinkie) but that thing is old. It's also disappointing: the animation for RD is really simple and the issues that the original had with not responding to controls seem amplified. The creator did an amazing job with changing the sprite, I'll give the game that, but overall it's just not as good as the original.

Wereluna makes very little sense. If she had that problem, she could just always keep the moon out of the sky.
