holy shit if you posted that on /b/ you'd get tro­lled so hard, its not even funny.
Btw, welcome!

Welcome to the site, Anonpony. =D You'll make friends here, and don't worry about the long post. Glad to have you!

Welcome, brony.

>>307
hey there anonypony, welcome to the site =)
on a related note, I could totally see you and twilight getting along lol

and no worries about being anon, it's all well and good, however not all of us dirty dirty tripfriends are using character names :P

I have a feeling you're going to get along just fine here, newbishness or not. but in anycase... I couldnt find my read image, so instead have this one =)

>>311
O RLY?

>>314
yarly! now be nice and go make friends you!

>>308

I've had my share of paraspriting IRL, so it ain't no great surprise... >.>

But yeah. I came here 'cuz of the friendliness and the shared purpose. /b/ seemed to me to be simply filled with unpleasantness and paraspriting, which is why I never went near it.

>>311

You really see me getting along with Twilight?! (squeegasm)

To everypony who replied, I thank you for your kindness. I promise I will put in some effort to coming up with a proper name fit for a pony by my next post - which may or may not include a little fanfiction, doncherknow...

>>322
lol, just let us know what it is, so that we know who to look for

Hello, welcome.

If you need ideas for a pony name, you could try this name generator: http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/2279

I think this one is designed for the older generations of MLP, but I don't have the link for the FiM-themed generator.

>>323

Oh - by that I meant that I've had my share of bullying. A quiet and effete manner does not help one's chances of getting through school without incident. >.>

But I thank you for your concern, nonetheless. ^_^

>>324

Thanks for the generator Naomi, but I want my pony name to be a personal, meaningful thing. As any practitioner of magic knows, words have great power - names doubly so.

A few practical considerations, since I don't know where else to post them:

1) What is the generally accepted format for submission of fanfiction? I assume it's in /fic/ but I don't really know beyond that. Do you have to take a PrintScreen and post it as an image, or link to another page on which it is posted, or can I Copy+Paste the story directly into the 'Message' field? I would prefer the latter, since it would involve SO much less fuss.

2) Is there any procedure to having a name (liek, any permanent measure to committing), or do I just type whatever name I choose in the 'Name' field every time I post?

I pray your indulgence in the above matters - they probably seem pretty obvious to you, but please bear in mind that, in Equestria of message boards such as these, I am as yet a newborn foal taking its first uncertain steps on thin and shaky legs. Love out. ;)

What I see people doing for the fan fics is posting them in google documents, then submitting them to http://www.equestriadaily.com/

>>334
either screen shot it, or copy paste it, both work for me *shrugs*

as for the name, most browsers will allow for auto completing, so my name and tripcode are filled in every time I post for me

>>342

Tripcode? What is, please? O.o

I can tell that you are a great writer just from your posts.

I would love to see some fanfics from you, and i hope you enjoy your time on ponychan!

>>433
mine name shows up as Lemming!!HkZwOvAQV3
the lemming part is the name, and the !!HkZwOvAQV3 is my trip code (!! means secure, so it's less likely to be guessed or fake)

basically it's a password that proves I'm the real lemming :P

it's added by putting ##stuff after your name

>>434

Thanks so much for the greeting, Green Angel! ^-^

And, BTW, I have a short piece up on /fic/ already under this same name. I didn't have a trip on that post, but you can trust me. (Or can you? O.o)

I'd be really happy if you read it and let me know what you think!

>>435

Woohoo! I have a pony name AND a tripcode! I feel like a proper pony poster now. Thanks, Lemming! =D

---

I hope to see both of you again in future! Love out.

>>440
always a pleasure =)

I think I haven't greeted you, so hi

well this is awesome seeing more and more people introduce themselves on the forum. Hey there anonpony, hope you feel welcome here

>>308
This. OP what is your gender and how old are you...

>>482
I fail to see why that matters.
Take that attitude back to /b/.
