Especially the last one. That right there is a link worthy of posting in the face of brony-haters.

You know what? f*** it. I'm not writing for EqD anymore.

-Spend two weeks writing a rough draft and a month and a half editing -> get shut the f*** down without so much as a 'better luck next time'.
-Spend ten minutes writing a rough draft and no time editing -> they f***ing love it.

s***, man.

That's not good to hear.

I could say that they're a bunch of idiots who have no idea what something written well looks like; but I only go there to get links to episodes, so I don't really know enough to say that. Regardless, that is ridiculous; I'm sorry to hear it.

You watch Adventure Time; you're close enough, all you need to do is take that last step.

This is why I don't study for tests. *shot*

Alright, just had a bit of a brainwave. Thinking of making my own fanfic site called "Shonen Pony: Equestria's Most Popular Fanfics!" The concept is that we would have legitimate editors - none of this pre-reader crap, ACTUAL editors who will sit down with you in a private chatroom and discuss the flaws of your story rather than doling out a standard-issue "your fanfic has been rejected for this-that-and-the-other-reason" message. Since our sole focus would be fanfics, we'd make every effort to help you get your fanfic good and ready for the general public.

The process works like this: you submit your rough draft/story concept/outline/thesis statement though our website, and one of our editors (whoever's interest it happens to pique) would pick it up and discuss how to progress with it. If someone has an excellent concept and excellent vision but admits to having no skill with writing or craft, we might pair them up with an established writer in the community who happens to not have a project and who is also intrigued by the idea.

After that we would collaborate with the author(s) to find a good piece of cover art to represent the story and develop a good synopsis to present so that we can give them a "coming soon" notice on the main page. Meanwhile, they would work on developing their story and collaborating with their editor to make it the best it can be.

Any thoughts? Anypony want to help?

EDIT: Tentative site http://shonenpony.thedevhome.net/
May get a separate domain eventually but for now this is fine.

Adventure Time isn't meant for young children so, I relate to it more

I think you skipped right over the part where it was never really meant to be for young kids. It was specifically created to be relevant to all age groups.

Take this season, for example, in which they parody Star Wars and The Big Lebowski, and more recently James Bond and old Kurosawa-style samurai films.

My Little Pony isn't meant ONLY for little girls. They've been appealing more to the periphery demographic since season 2.

AAAANYWAY...

Great episode.

I liked all the pop culture references. Silent films... James Bond... Ninjas... Sherlock Holmes...

At first I was convinced that Twilight ate the cake because of how she was handling the clues. On the other hand, it was nice that the clues weren't obvious until the last second.

I was also expecting Celestia to outright devour the cake in the end as a continuity nod. Oh well.

The evidence continues to mount that Pinkie Pie's mind is the most wonderful, bizarre, and terrifying thing possible.

Little siblings just got a MLP train set. I'm jelly...not really.

Pretty good episode. Very funny, and the conclusion to the mystery was partly unexpected. I didn't think it would've been three different ponies who ate the cake, but I did suspect both Rainbow Dash and Rarity at certain points (Rainbow Dash because it was obviously her running to the back of the train, nopony else leaves behind trails like that, and Rarity for, well, looking like a cyclops.)

Also, Pinkie was so cute when she was sleeping.
