Hello and again welcome to your weak weekly dose of ploungery: '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 some other pony fans? 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.

My cousin has been a huge Mlp fan ever since she was about 12, and I'm just wondering what the appeal is?
This isn't because I'm mocking the community or anything, it's because I'm considering watching it but i want to hear some reasons fans like it to see if it would be my sort of thing.
I watch other cartoons, like Steven universe, Gravity falls, adventure time etc. So it wouldn't be that much of a stretch for me to start watching mlp. Especially since I'm bored in lockdown.
Also, if I did decide to watch it, anybody know any websites that it's on?
Edit: nvm about my question about what website to watch it on, I literally just noticed the website in the about lol
So recently I did the impossible and listened to every podcast backlog I had. Hundreds of episodes all complete. I did it, good job me. Hurray.
But now I'm in a situation where I want to go and exercise, but I have nothing exciting to listen to! Oh no!
However lately I've been getting into pony music and I figured I'd shake things up a little. No more podcasts, just music. And that's where you come in!
I need pony music. And my only requirement is that its HARDCORE. I'm keeping "hardcore" vague on purpose since the goal is variety, not referring to the actual genre. I'm just in the mood for something awesome! Preferably without lyrics!
Do you know any fandom music that's super cool and exciting? If so, please link your favorites!
For anyone interested, Pony Fest is an online-held convention held on Discord. It's super easy to join and will start on the 25th. There will be voice channels to meet others, various vendors for anyone seeking to buy exclusive merch, and a plethora of events - including a live stream of Lena Rocker Hall, a Tony Award winner and Grammy nominee, known here as the voice of Countess Coloratura! Said stream will start from 5:30-7:00 pm ET. I hope to see any one of you all there! Plz say hi!
Edit: apparently PrinceWhatever will be performing as well!
So, because it's No-Pics Thursday (April 23rd, 2020) today, you know what that means...
It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!
Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):
Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.
Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.
Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!
PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any. I'll start the first few threads myself, and reply with a gentle reminder if you forget.
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.
Ready? Set? LET"S GO! Also, feel free to self-promote in here!
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 here!!!!
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.
