Wow, so this is cool

[Marbletoast]

A purple pony fanfiction board! Brilliant!

So how'd this come about? Rad directed me here. It looks pretty cool. I am loyal follower of LM since the days of TnT, despite having been convinced you'd fallen off the earth several times and not actually had a conversation with you since perhaps 2004/5 or something...

...

I was a SECRET follower!

I...used to be around the pony community lots, but am not anymore. I still like ponies (right up until they turned ugly just in the past couple of years), and I like pony people, but nevertheless I don't chat about ponies much any more, nor do I actively collect them (not that I do not WANT to chat of course, and not that I do not WANT to buy ponies, but you know, Arena's too busy and big these days, and money is short, so this is great, a little wee forum of gladness). I know some of you, but not a lot of you. v.v

I do, however, have at least one Pony Fanfiction that remains stalwartly in my lap, and is now on chapter 14 of potential billions, after seven years of writing and rewriting. Har! I also write other stuff. Pppttttth.

And I love to read and review other writing, so this seems a good hang out.

P.S. I am Marbletoast everywhere I am--DA, Arena, PonyIsland, um. Yea, anywhere I go. So if you think you remember that name from some pony-ish place, it was probably me. <_> OR AN IMPOSTER. <.<

[Caelum]

Marbletoast! I remember you from the Arena! You wrote that one pony fanfic, with the...um...something about ponies being used as regular horses...or something... I forget how it went, exactly--been a while since I read it. But I remember that I loved it! ;D

As for how this forum came about, it all started a few months ago when the Arena shut down its fanfic board. We started another forum, but unfortunately, our admin sorta fell off the face of the planet, leaving no one in charge or with mod powers, so last week LM and I did some conspiring and created this place. ;D (LM is responsible for the color scheme, can't you tell?)

I don't actively collect ponies anymore, either--the Core 7 plan is pretty disappointing, and the new design even more so. But I still pick up any ponies I see at yardsales and fool around with the ones I've got already, and I'll ALWAYS love reading fanfic about them. Hope to see you around, even if you aren't actively writing or anything!

[Marbletoast]

Aaah, I had no idea they shut the fanfic forum down! But then, I haven't visited since I moved over seas in December...soooo....

Well, it was an awesome idea. I have tried to start a writing club now and them, but fail rather enourmously as an admin, so I'd much rather be a member than a leader. x] Yay!

And yes, that is the seven-year-and-counting endevour called Cast Shadows. Yark! The first draft ever was posted on TnT way back in the day. I am delighted in that pet-my-writer's-ego way that you remember it. :3 Even vaugely!

CORE SEVEN MAKES ME SAD IN MY WEE LITTLE HEART AND I CRY AT NIGHT. Dx

[Caelum]

Cast Shadows! That's what it was called! *thwacks head* I always thought it was such a good name! Especially with that added tagline in your one siggie on the Arena... "Only those standing at sunrise... Cast Shadows". Or something to that effect... X3

(Note: I was in my early teens when I started in on the MLP fandom and was EXTREMELY inexperienced with A) Computers and the internet in general, and B) Interacting with other human beings. Thus, I sorta fangirled. A lot. Mostly to myself--I was too timid to post anything on forums. But if any of my old fangirling OMG THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD STORY habits pop up, please forgive my naive little self. ^_^)

[Marbletoast]

Ha ha, yes, that was the tagline. Still is! Because...someday I still intend some character in the story to say it. XD

Fangirling is fun. I have nothing against it. I fangirl. I squee. I flail. I mean, it's over stuff like twentieth century poets and cheese, but nevertheless. Fangirling is fangirling.

I look forward to reading stuff and posting stuff and hanging with the pony crowd again, especially the writing pony crowd. It will warm my toes. What was your name on Arena? The same? Because unfortunately I do not recognize it. Sad days.

[Caelum]

Yep, the same. Caelum. Though I was CountessWondermint first. But I never posted much, at least not while you were still around, so I don't blame you for not recognizing me. ^_^

Started posting more in late 2007 and 2008, and then fell off the face of the planet for a bit when I hit writer's block with Part 3 of my Tenses Saga. (Well, okay, it wasn't really writer's block, more like perfectionism issues......I swear I'll figure that story out soon. XD No, no, seriously. I will.) Came back when I heard the fanfic board was being shut down and hung out at the other one quite a bit trying to keep it alive before creating this place.

I don't fangirl over cheese. I do close my eyes and chew slowly in bliss, though. Mmmmm, cheese.....

HEY MARBS! ;D Welcome to the board! ^__^

[lunacat]

Hi, long time no see. I'm not active in the pony community either. >.< Those same old G3 ponies being released over and over and over just bored me to death, their movies are just as boring too.

Well anyway, glade to see you here. ^_^
So you're the one who wrote 'Cast Shadows' ? I love that story. I hope you write more of it sometime.

[Marbletoast]

Thanks for the welcome. :3

Yea, Luna, very long time! And I agree, ponies aren't fun anymore, except finding the old ones, and writing stories, and chatting with folks. The ponies themselves are not really worth even going down the toy isles these days.

Though I did just spend $30 on one box of the rereleased Rainbows. XD I couldn't resist them. And they are double the American cost here...

Yes, I did indeed write Cast Shadows! Or am writing. I wish I was faster. I envy the fact that you have completed your long epic piece! And I am pretty stoked about reading all these stories. I started some, long ago, but as per usual life got in the way of finishing them...

[sunstar]

I remember cast shadows! I loved that story! Welcome! I'm Sunstar from the arena. on deviantArt, I'm QueenSunstar.

[Marbletoast]

Thanks for the welcome, and for the kind memories of my story! Your name is familair, but I must admit, there were hundreds of names on the Arena that only register briefly in my brain...

I'm sure I'll get to know you much better here, though. ^_^

[Lili]

HAY~! :3 I'm new to the arena and stuff so I don't know you actually, nor did I know your fanfic... Can I get to read some? I love reading good stories :3 (is starting to write her own fanfic) ahaha :3

[Marbletoast]

Well, nice to meet you! ^__^ Of course you can read it. Ha ha, please do! It's posted here--well, the first bit of it. I would greatly appreciate any reading!

And please, post yours as you write it!

[kfelidae]

Yay, another former TnTer here!

*does the dance of joy*

[Bright Glow]

Wellcome here, it's nice to meet you. I'm only up at MLP Arena for 1 year as Bright_Glow but I'm acively follow MLP for 2 years now. I'm one of the few mlp fan boys here and i'm proud to it.

I'm a huge G3 MLp fun but the CORE 7 was a huge disappoint to me especially because my most favourite G3 pones are Minty and Kimono (Ok I have mor Minty adoptables than Kimono) so I can't stand out the CORE 7

I'm a Huge My little pony Tales fan too (as my name show it, I have the most post at the Schoolhouse MLPT fan foum )
Bright Glow is the only (offically) named Glowin Magical Pony at the tales (episode : Up, up and away). *point to my avatar*

I'm not write, draw or ect but I really like to read and replay, I tries to RPG too but whit not too mutch luck yet.
