Possibly one of the greatest uploads ever made to this site. C4tspajamas, I adore thee. |

It may be crudely made, but some people really, really need to read this through.
I mean, I generally don't like OCs, but that's because stuff like what got noted here ruined it. |

Athiesm is a belief like not collecting stamps is a hobby. |

I don't like the idea of spotted skins either. All ponies we've seen so far has had one-color skin right?
The biggest problem with OCs is that most of them are made by teens in their "i am so special" period. Thus all these extravagant monstrosities. |

Thank you everyone xD
Anon3, yeah spots aren't seen. And it's understandable to keep them out of the fandom. I just don't consider them anymore unusual than a zebra with stripes. But you are completely right about the teen thing. |

Spots and other markings probably don't sit well with bright colors. Of course someone may want to chose a more realistically colored pony. |

I hope this helps to stem the tide of unappealing OC's.
They bug me more than most things on here. |

did anyone else read "he/she/it doesn't have to be a hero" and think "suicide"? |
| Anonymous #167947 1 year ago |
^that would be AN hero.
Also, yeah I completely agree with this, however choosing a color is always hard for me, I'm not YES BLACK or DARK RED or anything like that, maybe a light gray or a light brown or something idk, its hard to pick sometimes. |

No one's written a fic with a Were-pony theme have they? |

Spots are more prone to glitching with Flash animation. I think that about sums it up. Outside the cartoon, why not spots? |
| JustTheBast #168685 1 year ago |
Bags put it exactly right. If you distort your definition of "religion" this far, in order to include atheism, you have also included vegetarians, republicans, democrats, bronies, Mensa members, golfers, sports fans, citizens of every nation on earth, gamers, and so on. Have fun trying to apply for tax exempt status, based on that definition, and see how far you get.
Other than that one little lapse from common sense, an excellent article. |

Oh my god, shut up, none of them can have cutie marks. They ARE exactly the same. You are right.
I was discriminating for this reason. |
| Anonymous #168706 1 year ago |
To add. Can ponies be special for being vegetarians? |
| Sandstorm #169341 1 year ago |
There really needs to be an extra section about Mary Sue ponies. Especially ones that would claim to be more <something>/<something>-er than <main cast pony best at something>.
It's okay if your character is braver than Fluttershy, but it's just going overboard if you claim it's faster than Rainbow Dash, or throws parties better than Pinkie Pie. |

Erm...
**shifts uneasily** ...I think I'm hitting all these points with my oc's. Is this a bad thing? DX |
| SpookEZ #283139 1 year ago |
Useful color scheme site link and a lot of good points, but I don't agree with you saying not to have black or white coats. It's bland and sort of uninteresting for sure, but you know. Rarity seems fine.
However, I don't think the people who actually need to read this would read it. Which is sad. :< I'm tired of seeing fox ponies. |
| fluffikitten #297953 1 year ago |
SpookEZ if you read the subject at hand, I said to avoid black and white coats with RAINBOW manes and tails xD Ends in disaster 90% of the time |
