Since we're becoming a nice little group I think a questionnaire is in order. ;) Before Lyra bites my tail off, keep in mind that revealing any personal info is a big no-no. I personally am fine with revealing my race and sex. Age and location—not so much.
Here goes:
Race: unicorn
Sex: mare
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Eric
Favorite pony: Caprice
Favorite deity: Poseidon
Favorite background character: Hercules (I have a thing for scrawny tech geeks with glasses)
Favorite chapter: It Shines For All
Favorite quote: "Have a water bottle" - EricGo wild! :D
MixaMax
Good initiative, MixaMax!
It's a pity that you still can't appreciate the original series. Hopefully, one day we get to do a reading. Did you try the original chapters I suggested?
On another note, Lyra, I have found a complete first series collection in relatively good condition (better than what I originally thought I outdo give you). I do not dare send it through the standard mail, though. I'll look into dedicated courier services and get back to you.
Now the quiz:
Race: unicorn
Sex: stallion (married with foals)
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Megan
Favorite pony: Tie between Caprice and Fireblaze
Favorite deity: Zeus
Favorite background character: Athena
Favorite chapter: Cannot decide
Favorite quote: "Don't chew when you eat!" - MollyThe TechNightling
Race: pegasus
Sex: dazzling sexy supermodel mare (just saying O:))
Favorite humie (Mistmount): My Bellucio
Favorite pony: Caprice
Favorite deity: Zeus
Favorite background character: Dirk the football captain
Favorite chapter: It's Difficult Being Bellucio
Favorite quote: "Zeus wishes he had my looks." - BellucioBrush
@The TechNightling: I'll borrow them from Handy. I promise to read through them again. Just for you ;)
@Brush: at least you didn't say you're a "sexy sexy beast" :P
MixaMax
@MixaMax: buck you!
Brush
Yay! I love these. Not that I don't know most of you already :P Some of you I see every day.
Oh, oh! The craziest thing happened to me today! As I was going to work today, I saw Prince Blueblood in front of the palace gate, flirting with some snobby mares. So I said to my self "what the heck? My life is a mess as it is." So, as I passed by I said "Good morning, Bellucio."
Crazy, right? Well, it gets better! I was totally expecting him to give me a wut look. He didn't! He looked at me right in the eyes, then snorted with a shrug and said "At least it isn't Omni."
Yes! You read right! Prince Blueblood reads MC! *mind blown*
I think I told him about the site (the whole experience is still hazy). Here's to hoping he creates an account!
Name: Lyra Heartstrings
City: Canterlot (maybe not for long)
Race: unicorn
Sex: mare, almost as dazzling and sexy as Brush (just saying :P)
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Errrr
Favorite pony: Errrrrr!
Favorite deity: Umm
Favorite background character: Err, yeah, that one!
Favorite chapter: All of them!
Favorite quote: "We're here for each other!"LyraHands
@LyraHands: him you can have...
Brush
Hey! This looks fun!
City: Cloudsdale
Race: Pegasus
Sex: Stallion
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Eric
Favorite pony: Cloud Thunder
Favorite deity: Zeus
Favorite background character: Orpheus (CEO's nephew. I think he'll have a big role in the reboot.)
Favorite chapter: They are all so good...
Favorite quote: "It's a two in two." - OmniPrinceEric
Well, RRBB managed to talk her way out of home imprisonment, but only because the math and physics test results came in (she got max points along with me and a few others).
@LyraHands: she told all is cool, but thanks you for the thought. Let us both know if you visit sometime. I know she could you some cheering up, and I have never talked to you face to face (well, not about such things, anyway :))
City: wouldn't you like to know?
Sex: mare
Race: alicorn wannabe
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Karl (so far)
Favorite pony: Fireblaze
Favorite deity: Poseidon (so far)
Favorite background character: Principal Ulysses (I like the way he talks)
Favorite chapter: still reading
Favorite quote: "With the speed of a sleeping arrow." - DannyPaintDrop
@LyraHands: I get to see him all the time. Never took him for the type who reads Midnight Castle. No way I'm letting him live that down. :D I’ll be sure to casually mention it the next time I see him. Thanks, Lyra :)
City: Everywhere (seriously. I fly a lot because of work)
Race: pegasus
Sex: you're kidding, right?
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Blazen
Favorite pony: Caprice (not that there are many to choose from. S.Child is great as creating human characters, but her pony descriptions suck)
Favorite deity: Hades
Favorite background character: None
Favorite chapter: It's Difficult Being Bellucio
Favorite quote: "We're here for each other!"CEOWitch
@MixaMax: Nice try.
@CEOWitch: I like Molly. So sorry :(
CodeFilly
@CodeFilly: Come on! Seriously? :/ It's not like anypony will find you based on which characters you like. At times you're just too you. Live a little!
MixaMax
This must be my lucky day! Barely joined and I get to read all the juicy tidbits about you all :) I agree with the Tech that we should include original MC characters at one point (distinctions will have to be made with some of the names being reused for legal reasons).
City: Near Canterlot
Race: Earth Pony
Sex: Just a normal mare model (I kid :) I'm your average plumpish mare)
Favorite humie (Mistmount): Cassandra
Favorite pony: I don't like the ponies much. Maybe Luna?
Favorite deity: Zeus
Favorite background character: Feather (griffons count too, right?)
Favorite chapter: Wrath of the CEO
Favorite quote: "Kiss me twice if you love me"Bob
@Bob: where the heck did you read that? If there's such a quote somepony messed up big time. There's no way there'd be anything that suggestive in a series targeting young colts. I'm not sure there's even a Hearts and Hooves chapter.
MixaMix
@Bob: you're near Canterlot?! Let's meet!
LyraHands
Umm. I'm not too comfortable with the questions. Mostly because ponies make fun of me when they learn that I read colt fiction. :( Sorry. I'm from Manehattan and... ponies around here could be a bit harsh.
Candle
@Candle: send me a PM.
LyraHands
@MixaMax: just checking. :P Would have been nice to have such a quote, though ;)
@LyraHands: you're silly ;P
Bob
7844693 :) Only I know for sure :)
7844721 Well, I must try to diminish them :))
As of today there is at least 1 Mane Six pony on the site
There are several with speaking roles
There are several background characters
There are OCs (for cities not shown in the show)
Oh my, who'da thunk you'd get exposition in a story but in a format such as this instead of a wall of text :p And so many great lines too!!
Totally shipping MixaMax with Moondancer rn :V
lmao, this got the most laughs from me
Hookay, this is a saucy information dump. Firstly, CEOWitch. I thought Shining Armor(because he's seeing Blueblood all the time and being military) at first but then I remembered that he's a unicorn I'm gonna assume The Wonderbolts are a para-military organization in this fic and place my bet on Soarin. An idea hit me later on... Flash Sentry?! Oh my...
However my previous theory of Brush being Minuette is shattered here as we learn that she's, in fact, a pegasus. I'm trying to come up with a pony whose attitude would match Brush's but I'm at a loss. Maybe Cloud Kicker?
Further on, MixaMax. for lack of better options Lemon Hearts, Twinkle Shine or, now that she's 'free', Minuette. OHHHHHH SUDDEN REALIZATION TIME.
CodeFilly said:
Which I believe is a direct response to:
by MixaMax. I mean... doesn't this too convenietly make sense now with my theory that MixaMax is one of the three above and CodeFilly being Moondancer?
Still not enough info on TheTechNightling, Bob, PaintDrop and RRBB.
Candle is Coco Pommel?
Eh, I'm gonna keep thinking about it. On another note, it seems your upload times seem to to allign perfectly with me being online and I thought I might help you with squashing typos. I'm no professional but I can do typos. Hit me up with a PM or on Discord if you wanna?
Brush is a pegasus? Brush Is A PEGASUS?!!! She isn't Minuette? All my guesses are now invalid, and I have to rethink all my reasoning. While I'm at it I'll rethink my life choices (*wail* *weep*). Does this mean MixaMax isn't Lemon Hearts, and Code Filly isn't Moon Dancer?
But at least one thing just became clear. Shy little Candle isn't Fluttershy after all. She's Coco.
what if Fluttershy is Brush feeling a confidence boost from internet anonymity?
7845625 Then I don't know.
The more clues I get the less I think I know.
However, since we are racing to get our guesses in (reckless as we are) then TechNightling is Time Turner/Doc, and CEOWitch is Spitfire.
7845683 CEOWitch is a stallion tho
Bob is an earth pony??!! Damn. Really though it was RD. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.
CEOWitch is a Pegasus who travels a lot due to work... Hmmm... That means she's probably a wonderbolt... And she sees BlueBlood near every day... Interesting...
RRBB really has me stumped though...
I'm enjoying this way too much.
7845625
That's exactly what I thought! And race: pegasus makes that theory all the more plausable!
The more information I have, the less certain I feel. Though I'm 99% positive I know who CEOWitch is.
Also, was not expecting that many Greek mythology references in the novels' cast.
7845538 So many theories :)
About the typos, sure thing :) Just PM me and I'll fix them post post :)
7845542 oh dear... :P
7845683 Why the race? The first companion fic will only contain how Lyra got into Midnight Castle (back when she was a filly in Twilight's class) :)
7845848 Oh?
7846131 :) Yes, Bob claims to be an earth pony. :D
7846152 Well, there are a lot of Greek references in Mlp ;)
7846367 :D Since the series us designed for colts, the protagonists are changed accordingly. Thus, most of the important characters are boys/men, with girls/women being support cast.
Danny (Williams) is the hero of Mistmount Chronicles and not Megan :)
And now to make things more complicated :)
One of the posters is lying ;) Have fun :P
7846782
Also...
7846799 whyyyyyy, now you just made it at least 20% more difficult
/edit
After re-reading, the only thing that I can think of is TechNightling lying and actually being Twilight. She seems to be the kind of pony to be paranoid about identity safety in poni-internets to the point of making up a special persona to hide behind. Also:
Even sounds like Twilight.
7846799
"Claims", eh?
... SERIOUSLY??!! Ok then... Hmmm... Add that to "Claims", and I reckon RD is still in with a chance of being Bob!
I'm thinking MixaMix is Vinyl.
+1+1000+∞7895639 :) Isn't that everypony's dream? :)
What is malty?
Great idea with the format and subject! Will follow this, and I'm almost out of the fandom, so little interests me anymore! Kudos!
7920126 :) Ooops. Math :)
Maybe Bob is Bon-Bon? And this forum is how she and Lyra first met?
7936464 Regardless if Bob is Bon Bon or not, events take place after the season 6 finale, so Lyra and Bon Bon friends (although they don't live together, as will be explained at some point)
Brush is totally Fluttershy, since she is literally a supermodel.
Sadly, her identity the only one I am nearly positive I have right. The others I have narrowed down to one or two ponies for most of them.
8266510
I was thinking Cloud Kicker
Oh god, don't start reading a 300+ chapter thing that's written in an easygoing style with bite-sized chapters at close to midnight when you have to get up the next morning. Curse you.
And this is the first story where the chapters read exactly like the comments section. Kinda disorienting. :b
Anyone else thinking PaintDrop is/could be Starlight Glimmer? Makes sense especially with that "Alicorn Wannabe" part
