This is the thread for discussing anything pertaining to Fanfiction in general. Like your ideas, thoughts, what you're reading, etc. This differs from my Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread, as that focuses primarily on recommendations. Every week these two threads will be posted at alternate times.
Although, if you like, you can talk about fics you don't necessarily recommend but found entertaining.
IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.
Hello and again welcome to your weekly dose of 'What do words even mean?': 'This Week on the Plounge' wherein I inform you, the fine folks of the mane sub, what's been going on at your favourite sister subreddit, the Plounge, this past week.
Wait, what is this Plounge you speak of?
The Plounge, or more formally the MLP Lounge is /r/mylittlepony's sister subreddit. Designed to be a place where you can free of the tyranny of rules 3 and 4. A chill place for bronies or anyone to talk in a SFW chat centric environment. It can be found over at /r/MLPLounge. (most of us browse by /new though). Oh and BPM is nice to have. Even if you're allergic to using emotes yourself you'll miss a lot of extra context without it.
What some casual conversation with a sprinkling of ponies? Come over to this introductions thread and meet some people. Don't worry there's also a topic so it ain't just "hi!" "hi" awkward silence.

Hello everycreature may I welcome you to the 13th official Full Discussion for the Fimfiction Book Club! Today we will be giving our full impressions on the newly voted on books, so I hope y'all voted .
That said what was our officially chosen Fimfic to read for the Book Club? This week's stories to read was "Changeling Courtship Rituals" by Codex Ex Equus.
And if you really liked the story feel free to leave a comment to let the author's know. Trust me as a writer myself I know just how much that is appreciated.
So let's give our Full Thoughts on "Changeling Courtship Rituals" shall we? I asked and y'all said that we could get these done in one so let's get started!
Also a link to the previous edition of the book club here, 13th Edition Book Initial Discussion - "Changeling Courtship Rituals" by Codex Ex Equus. . . .
As always feel free to ask for a reminder whenever these threads go up. I am always happy to ping y'all if requested to do so. And here are the results of our latest Strawpoll! Please feel free to check out the other stories on the list in case of next time and see what peaks your interest.
Tomorrow we will be starting our "Catch Up" Week where we go back to the stories we never finished for the Book Club and read them at our leisure and talk about them the next week, For those of you who have already caught up feel free to read something of your choosing to talk about (even if it is not a Pony fic for once) or feel free to find and talk about any one shots you have in mind that you've been putting off.
There are always things about the show I want to talk about, but I'd rather not always dedicate an entire full blown thread to it or it's never the right time to mention because no one would care. Maybe it's a thought that could be answered quickly enough to end discussion or something insignificant and stupid brewing in the back of your head for awhile! Anything you want to throw out to r/mylittlepony and say your piece!
Is there anything you've wanted to mention lately but never got around to it? Anything you want to speak up about for a bit? Any pony topic at all?
So you know what are great? Parties! You know who is best at parties? Pinkie Pie! But here is a thought. . .though we KNOW that Pinkie has planned out a party for everypony she knows, I imagine even Trixie and Ember, we don';t know much about those plans.
So let's get to brainstorming shall we? What kinds of parties would Pinkie throw for each of her friends or indeed any other pony/creature that one can think of?
Excepting Maud because she apparently prefers Trixie planning her parties.
So our Pinkie Pie Perfect Party Planning Committee what are some of your brainstormings that Pinkie is pulling out of you? What kind of parties or indeed what party would you plan for each of the Mane 6 and the extended cast of characters?
It has been there for a nearly half of my almost 20 year-old life and as cheesy as it may be, I feel like I'm losing a friend. Both the show and the EQG series/movies have brought me many years of something to look forward to without fail. With EQG seemingly over and the show coming to its inevitable close I'm almost certain the final pieces of each will bring a wealth of tears and I welcome that, because despite how sad it will be to see this era of my life come to an end I am glad that I got to experience it to its conclusion.
I've loved every character we've been shown and especially enjoy the quests and antics of supporting/side-characters (Starlight & Trixie, Sunset & Co., Discord, etc.), with Sunset being one I most hope to see a conclusion for. Unlike many, I simply cannot choose favorites as they are equally valid in my eyes.
With every stroke of every key, I feel cathartic being able to share this to whomever it crosses even if no-one does see it. Although I'm 100% sure the finale is going to make me cry now and if there is a farewell song I am going to straight-up bawl. Also, if some long drawn out credits accompany that song I might be emotionally devastated for a while. I shall wish this series the best in future endeavors and I will continue to be along for this wild ride.
Okay, get your minds out of the gutter!
Over the course of the series there have been more than a few episodes that deal with the Mane 6 and their friends sleeping habits.
For example, Twilight has a tendency to stay up all night working, sometimes for days at a time if it's something she's really excited or worried about. All that pacing, pen scratching and muttering could make it pretty difficult to sleep, let alone to have the chance to snuggle up with that bundle of manic anxiety.
The rest of her friends have their own sleeping habits, both good and bad.
Rarity also has a tendency to stay up long into the night working, but when she does decide to bed down for the night she has a very specific ritual and regime that she follows to ensure a good night's sleep. Disturbing this ritual in any way is likely to invite and earful, and it seems unlikely that Rarity would be willing to share her space to begin with.
Fluttershy on the other hand seems like a very warm and inviting individual. Though shy, she would defiantly be more accommodating than Rarity. Unfortunately, she is the type to keep snacks in her bed, not for herself but for the many pets and critters that reside in her cottage. It's very likely that she's the kind who likes to share her bed with her pets as well, so you could expect to have to deal with a pile of furry friends wriggling around next to you while you were trying to sleep as well as all the crumbs from the treats that they just 'have to have' in order to get a good night's sleep.
Then there is Pinkie Pie. Always so full of energy with party and joke supplies piled in every closet and hidden in every drawer, you'd think this pink party pony would be difficult to share a room with, let alone a good night's sleep. However, it turns out not only does Pinkie adore comfy pajamas and keeps an extra pair for friends and family who are staying the night, but she also can completely switch herself off at the drop of a hat. The problem arises when the first rays of sunshine begin to creep over her bed. Pinkie goes from dead to the world to wide awake in an instant and she's ready to start her day with all the fanfare and frivolity that accompanies it. If you aren't a morning person yourself and like to lie In, her high energy and cheerful mood could be exactly the most horrible thing to deal with.
of course there are more mundane concerns. Rainbow Dash tends to take naps in odd, hard to reach places. Both she and Starlight snore loud enough to make their sleeping companions think they are under attack by fearsome monsters or in the middle of a herd of stampeding wildebeests. Applejack has a tendency to hog all the covers for herself. Trixie seems to insist on sleeping her wagon. That kind of thing.
Knowing from experience that it is sometimes hard to share sleeping arraignments with another, I'm well aware that there are some things that others find to be more easily tolerated while other things are automatically non-starters. With that in mind, which pony do you think you'd have the easiest time sleeping with?
Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!
Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!
If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!
But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.
If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:
>!It has ponies!!<
And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread that will be up at noon Pacific time!!!!
