1, 2, 3, 4, I declare an AMA! · 6:41pm Nov 10th, 2016
Doing this for a few reasons.
1) horizon just did one (it's over here) and I can't be original :V
2) I hit 1234 followers! That's a nice number. :D I'm actually at 1235, but the big number was taken by some darf wannabe, so hello to fausticornrules for taking the spot officially. :B
3) Lots of people have been asking me random questions via PM over the past month or so. I thought maybe they would want a centralized location to do so.
4) I have a need to post more journals. :V (Seriously, the next review blog will likely be some time coming because longish one-shot audiobooks and also maybe an edition before then.)
5) These are popular, even if I've never understood why. :B
In light of that, I'm retaining the right not to answer anything. That might not be in the spirit of an AMA, but you can probably guess I won't go too personal. <.< We'll see what happens, though.
Ask your questions below (keep it to under 10 per person, would you?), and I'll post another journal in a few days with the answers! :D
How has your life been?
I'm just calling it now -- at least ONE PERSON will ask you if you'll review their story. Or how do you choose which stories to review. Some things change over time, but "people" ain't one of them, boyo.
Anyhow, PP, is there a particular literary genre that you like reading the most? What about writing? Which one is your favorite?
Best fic you'd say you've read lately? (or, all-time favorite, if you think it's easier). Any user in the site you think is particularly underappreciated? Any user you look up to? When are you reviewing my fucking Octascratch, you goddamn hack?
Okay, since horizon dropped the ball here, can you upload a video of you making a taco?
What are some of your favorite stories? I'm looking for some recommendations
(btw I only read stories rated t or under.)
How do you choose stories to review?
4295546 Or a grilled cheese sandwich. We're not picky.

He's got a group with them all! I think you can just browse that and go wild. Tho it'll be fun to see him try to come up with some titles on the go.
Also, unrelated, but PP -- did I show you the comment the darf wannabe left in one of my blogs? The Harem Comedy one. This is actually how I learned of the guy's existence, so I never believed he was darf. Still, it was fucking wild, yo.
How do you decide what to review? Is it just what catches the eye?
What would you say is the worst fic you've read here? Take your time.
What particular story elements appeal to you creatively?
Can you review my story?
I never understood the point of these things. I guess if you promise to answer absolutely anything, but there are always limits, and what's stopping people from asking stuff they want to know anyway? So there's my question. I would have asked horizon this, but I'm not sure he'd take it the right way. Plus you're not someone who regularly engages in self-promotional exercises. Though I suspect the real answer is to have another blog post to keep the list moving. :B
As a reviewer myself, I think I already know the answer, but...
What for the eternal facehoof?
D-do you like me?
-yes
-no
-kinda
Pick one
Q: Uh, you know that "Four" doesn't rhyme with "AMA", right?
Should I be concerned how I keep mixing up you and horizon? Seriously, putting up an AMA just after his isn't helping.
Like, why are you so obsessed with me? I keep getting that restraining order, but you just ignore it. What gives?
I swear, if I catch you digging through my trash one more time...
Who is the best pony, and why is her Stetson hat so stylish and amazing?
(Feel free to skip
anyall of these)In what year do you think an Artificial intelligence will have a story in the featurebox and no one will recognize it was written by an AI?
What kinds of stories do you want to see more of?
Which fictional universe would you most want to live in?
Out of all media (books, TV, video games, everything) you are tasked with picking a favorite character. Would you be able to do so? If so, who would you pick?
If you were given 10 trillion dollars and set with the task of "curing the ills of society," what would you focus on first?
If a genie granted you seventeen million wishes, what mundane thing do you think your 27th wish would be?
What is your ideal vision for the future of humanity?
What's something in your life that makes you happy, but you are unable to articulate why it makes you happy?
What book has had the most profound impact on your life?
You get to be magically transformed into an earth animal for a day, which one do you pick?
If no matter what job you picked, you would receive the same upper middle class salary, which job would want to have? (If any?)
A terrifyingly benign artificial intelligence has deemed humanity too important to die. All across the world, everyone is turning immortal and will be immortal for the next seven billion years at least. Do you attempt to die before you are forced to become immortal?
You've been nominated as a representative for humanity to an alien race, do you abstain? Or do you consider yourself a good fit for the role?

Like, wtf Foamy? How can you mix them up like that– actually I'm one to talk. For awhile I couldn't distinguish Pearple Prose and Derpator. Totally not helpful that Deluxe Magnum was thrown in there, but now he's out because he's hilariously disrespectfully amusing and something like that makes it real easy like to see an individual amongst the group. Yeah, sometimes it's hard to distinguish people personas online or something. Your brain hasn't quite given them a distinct voice yet.
PP what's your favourite seasonal holiday candy?
What do you enjoy more: reading/reviewing stories or writing them?
What kinds of stories would you like to see more of from the Fandom?
-Is there anything that you like to do to "get yourself in the mood" to review stories that you feel might be particularly painful (listen to a certain song, drink, reread a story you really liked)? What about stories you feel you might love?
-What are your thoughts on the Optimalverse?
-What's your favorite movie, what about it do you particularly like and (if applicable) do you search for qualities like that/those in the stories you read?

-Do you enjoy memes (fandom-specific and/or in general)? What are some you particularly love/hate?
-If you could pick one canon character in the show to talk and have coffee with (at the location of your choice,) who would it be? what would you like to talk about with them? Do you think they would be interested in talking about it?
-Are you looking forward to Them's Fightin' Herds? What about the characters or the music? Feel free to be specific.
-Why can't Rainbow Dash ever have any good episodes?
-Do you regret any of the aftermath that resulted from the Soft Hands contest?
-Marshmallows in cocoa: good idea or best idea?
What's the purpose of meaning?
How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?
If you could elect Princess Celestia, Empress Celestia, or Filly Celestia to the Presidency, which would it be and why?
4296080 what about princess molestia? is that a choice?
First off, congratulations!
Secondly, if you watch Youtube, who are your favorite Youtubers?

I would like to give my official support to this lateral displacement of taco-and/or-cheese-based quests.
Did you ever review my fic?

4300902 You said you would read it
