Darkest Before Dawn just pissed me off. I'm gonna be dropping an email to the author tonight, let me give you a preview...

"Quit your snivelling, son. Just because Word of God done Jossed your scenario, you gonna sit in the corner and cry instead of finishing one of the better School!Twilight fics out there?

I'm so tickled to be part of the inception of that fic.

Now here was an interesting/WTF thought I had.

Remember the end of season 1, Fluttershy at the Gala?

Could she be a changeling?

Funny thought I had during the finale. The Changeling Rainbow Dash faced became... Rainbow Dash. I thought "So the pony Dash loves most is herself?"

Just finally got around to watching the royal wedding.  All the obvious questions about where all these extra royals come from, and where Luna was during all the excitement have been asked.  But I noticed one thing that no one else seems to have brought up yet:
Shining Armor and Vinyl Scratch have (as far as I can tell) exactly the same mane coloring. 
You realize, of course that this mean-- BUNNY STAMPEDE!!!!!!!!!!

Couple of good recs for people.

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/20871/W ... r-Heart-Is]Where Your Heart Is, by Cloudy Skies, author of the wonderful story Within and Without.

Where You Heart Is Wrote:In the aftermath of one of Pinkie's parties, an innocent query leads Dash to question why she's still living with Pinkie Pie. Why does she feel trapped when there's nothing holding her back?
And how many buildings can Pinkie Pie destroy before insurance companies stop covering 'acts of Pinkie Collateral Damage Pie'?

A fun and touching shipfic. Also an indirect sequel to another story by the author called When Earth Meets Sky, but it's not hugely necessary to read that one.

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/16375/Sharing-the-Night]Sharing the Night, by Cast-Iron Caryatid.

Sharing the Night Wrote:Twilight becomes alicorn of the stars. This is sort of a problem, because Luna kind of already was alicorn of the stars. Oops!

Ignore the wonky synopsis. This is a genuinely good story. And funny as heck. In fact, it's basically the Girl Days of MLP:FiM fanfiction.

Just spend five minutes with her explaining why hostile conquering of your food source is a poor strategy when that source would be MORE than willing to provide all the love she could ever want if she'd just mellow out a bit.
  
Really now.  Seems like that bout of madness that comes with evil leaders prevents them from thinking their plans all the way through.  Nightmare Moon didn't seem to realize all her subjects would be popsicles in 72 hours.

Waaaait... so if she shows the benefits of shape shifting overlords... we be boned?

I'm having problem parsing the last pic. I'm aware that some have assigned tree & chicken to Fluttershy & Scooterloo, but the others.....

Also someone mentioned a GL/MLP cross, is this it http://www.fimfiction.net...of-an-Emerald-Equestrian

The CMC were calling each other dictionaries in Return Of Harmony, if I recall correctly. 
As for Rarity?

nope, the one I saw/read hadn't involved Pipsqueak at all.  there have been 1 yellow ring, 2 green rings and 2 red rings involved so far in the story I'm thinking of.

Yup, that's it.
There was an interesting side conversation in the SB thread, pro[posing that Equestria may have been a 'lab' to create anti-Lanterns (for all 7 colors) until some catastrope eliminated the experimenters..
Wendigo's to freeze/smother red rage
Changlings to 'spoof' violet love and steal their power.
Dragons trumping Orange greed (by consuming it's power)
Parasprites vs Indigo's compassion (I forget the reasoning)
The Ponies against Yellow
The Nightmare to defeat Blue hope
and Discord to bypass Green Will (because after Discord gets finish breaking the Lantern's mind, it won't matter how much Will he has)
It was also suggested that Discord amay well have been the 'catastrophe' that left the experiments running unsupervised.

Wherein Nightmare Moon comes unto our heroine in a biblical manner. (not NSFW, highly recommended)
