I really hate HiE fanfics. It's just not right to have a human in the pony world. But I think the same about every show that doesn't have humans. Just like throwing a human into LBT would be weird. Don't get me wrong. I've never "thumbed down" or bashed a HiE fic because it was HiE. I just don't like them and avoid them as much as possible.

But I think my least favorite is humanized ponies. They're ponies. Why on earth would you humanize them? It's not really them then. Just some weirdo alternate reality cross-breed creature that's sort of like a human and a pony combined. No thanks. :rolleyes

I don't like humanized ponies.

I especially like the HiE fics that have a science fiction edge.

On a side note, I hate The Conversion Bureau and most of its spinoffs with a passion. The only TCB fics I like are the ones where Humanity shows the ponies the error of their ways (either by opening up a giant can of whoopass or by less violent means) or ones that completely deconstruct the whole premise.

As for why I hate these fics:

1.) Designated Hero and Designated Villain seem to be the two most commonly used tropes.
2.) A lot of authors use it to espouse their "Humans are Bastards" view.
3.) Some of the authors are f---ing crazy.
4.) The ponies are turned into a race of xenophobic Mary Sues.
5.) The stories can get really heavy-handed with their moralizing.

I've seen one fic, one fic, that did humanized ponies well.

Here's a pic I found that accurately depicts the sales of a Derpy toy.

XD It's true. Luckily my mom got me one on Ebay (although it ended up being $120).

I wish there was something I could do to repay her for spending so much money on it. Any ideas guys?

Allow me to put on my ~skepticals~
I have no idea, but I'm starting to wonder if they'd bring her back, since there are probably people who definately want to get their hands on one from the source for $20...like me...

I doubt it. They might make a Derpy toy that isn't exclusive but I don't think they'll be making more of this one. If they did, it really wouldn't be an exclusive anymore.

Maybe there's a good reason why we're not seeing Megan from the G1 series...

And now for a story that makes sense of Pinkie Pie.

Seriously speaking, it's a good one. :)

Well, after watching a certain Pixar movie, I've finally come up with an idea for my first story... a Crossover//Alternate Universe with Toy Story!

We all know the story behind Toy Story: A Cowboy doll and a Space Ranger action figure go on a hilarious adventure together. But what if it wasn't a Space Ranger that was the Cowboy's companion? What if it was a Pony toy from a popular franchise?

For a while I debated over which character I should use, Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash. They both fit in perfectly with certain scenes from the movie. But to make the flying/falling with style scenes make more sense, I'm leaning towards Rainbow Dash.

Thoughts?
