What do you think of those edgy "epic" pony AUs where Twilight is a master thief whose family has stolen stylishly for generations, Applejack is a mafia boss or rich asshole the real her would hate, Rarity makes guns, Fluttershy fused with Discord after they both died, Rainbow Dash makes clothes or illegally streetraces, war is everywhere, and bonehead is the Unicorn version of the term Nigger?

Personally, I think they feel like some weird forgotten bastard child of Abridged Series parodies and those cliche "x is axe murderer" fics. I like it when the Mane Six are wildly different people yet they all end up becoming friends and heroes anyway.

Pic unrelated this site won't let me post porn. I keep getting error messages when I try to post.

Fuck, looks like every time the site gave me an error message and told me to post another pic, it actually posted and didn't tell me.

I can't tell if these threads are elaborate shitposting or nigel going on a tangent about fanfiction again.

Also, your duplicate threads have been deleted. The site occasionally glitches or gives weird error messages but most of the time your post still goes through. Please take a second or two to check if your thread exists after posting instead of posting duplicate copies of the same thread. Thanks.

I thought that was the problem at first since the error message changed when I went from three different pornographic pony images in a row to this one.

This seemed like an interesting discussion topic about pony fanfiction.
I think when it's done right, AUs are a fresh new take on the pony show we all love, something that adds new opportunity for new depth and stories to be told. And when done wrong, AUs are just bad changes and ideas done badly.

Nigel, just. What the actual fuck. You don’t need to make every thread with a picture that isn’t even vaguely related to the topic, and you don’t need to use pictures of anthros with stage 3 breast cancer. Pointing out this behavior in your PP doesn’t make it funny, it just means that you are aware of what you are doing and do it anyways.

Also, you made this thread four times

Also, a few helpful and constructive tips for thread creation:

You may want to avoid using less common abbreviations. Not everyone knows what "AU" stands for. I eventually figured out that it stands for "Alternate Universe" but I had to think about it a minute. I see AU and the first place my mind goes is "Audio Units".

You also may want to consider not injecting your own opinions into the OP text quite so much.

It just sounds like you're complaining about something instead of trying to start a discussion about it.

I thought you said you had quit porn.

I don't care for those kinds AUs. I just don't see the point in having different chracters in the skins of other already established ones. If the Au is created from the idea that if character x had this happend to him at time y, what would he become? Then I like it more.

As in a univverse where RD didn't make her sonic rainboom. Because then compared to when you just give these chracter ludicris chraccter traits, they actually try to develop the chracter from how they were and what they became as a consequnce of these events. Like if AJ had stayed in Manhateen what would she be like now? This is more intresting to me since AJ is the basis while scarface AJ isn't AJ an has never been AJ.

I try to read stories with ocs but they often disapoint because Mary Sues and Gary Stues.

I have quit porn. That's why the only porn I had left was in my "What the actual fuck" folder since I didn't delete the porn in that one, just my two folders which I labelled "Art" and "NotArt"
But yeah, you get it. "The story of Twilight Sparkle who failed to get into Celestia's School and got into a preppy snobby snooty school! Or the magical equivalent of the Slifer Red dorm!" could be great. Especially in a world where the consequences of no Rainboom, or something changing earlier on to make the Rainboom happen differently, are fleshed out and explored fully.
What would become of Rarity upon being led to a miserable and boring rock by her horn, never discovering it's actually full of gems? The boring option is "Pinkie's family takes her in and she replaces Pinkie while Pinkie becomes the new Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Dash becomes the new Twilight because RD's being taught flying and magic by a Celestia who wants Alicorn RD ASAP", a more interesting option would be... I don't know, something more creative than "AU where I shuffled the personalities/backstories/bodies around".
A good AU where alternate possibilities are explored... That's a lot more interesting than "AU where everyone's in high school musical 2 because I said so" or "AU where everyone's in the Mad Ben universe because I said so".
Far more interesting than "It's been six years. Nobody's smiled in six years and this war has gone on for seven. Twilight has a big scar on her face, Celestia and Luna went evil, Pinkie laughs while stabbing and AJ is fucking dead" or "PonyFell, the AU where life is edgy suffering and everyone's a cunt! Twilight has red eyes and pointy teeth and literally fucking everything is red and black".

I'm bored and the site seems kinda dead on the pony-discussion front. Thought I'd try and make a new thread where new discussion can happen.
