Hi Chronicler,
the image is hillarious :lol I think there is a number of pictures about linking the two Spikes.
As for the comic cover, there is one comic featuring (among other) Rarity and Babs, but the cover sure doesn't look like it was refering to that story which doesn't feature skating while Trixie plays too important a role not to be included in that comic's cover.

I'm guessing you're going to wait until you've completely finished writing it before you post it online. That's okay, I've seen a few people on fimfiction.net do that as well. Anyway, lbtlover is right that that site is a great place to upload any MLP fanfiction, so long as you don't mind getting lots of replies. Depending on what it'll be about, I might be interested in reading it, too. (Though I'm willing to wait until it's online for all to see, as I've already got plenty of fanfiction stuff to keep me busy for quite a while.
It is not the wish to finish the story first that keeps me from posting it online. I don't have any idea how long it might become in the end. I am of course quite interested in responses and feedback and I am very grateful to Rocking Scorpion for giving me some (while at the same time I am extremely lazy when it comes to fanfiction reading).
The story plays not long after the first two episodes of the third season (so Twilight is an Alicorn in the story and still somewhat trying to get to terms with that). The story features one character who is studying "cutie marks". Given the extreme effects cutie marks seem to have on ponies (to the point of allowing to what degree free will can be surpressed by cutie marks), and the differences between cutie marks (e.g. some being extremely specific while some offer a huge range of possible interpretations and some resisting a clear interpretation altogether), the many open questions (adult blank flanks? Anypony feeling utterly unhappy with the own cutie mark? Anypony having no clue at all about the meaning of the own cutie mark? Cutie marks for illegal talents?) allow for quite a few interesting scenarios. I don't want to give many spoilers. In any case I think there are some laughs and surprises in it so far.
If anyone would like to read the story (yesterday I wrote a scene involving Discord) I'd be happy to send it to you via skype.

I'm pretty sure that's the wrong Spike.


LOL, yeah I saw that on EQD too.

Woah, EQD is still on?? I wouldn't have expected that seeing how they had problems for posting things without permission and such.

What is EQD?

Equestria Daily is some sort of a digital journal for pony-related aspects. It was one of the first pony-related sites out there, but it has grown really strong and it's a reference source for the everyday brony (although a lot of people seem to hate it due to some of it's policies; "We accept everything" they said, but I have met people who have sent them material by the hundreds and none of them was ever published, nor a reply was never received).

Personally, I don't mind the site at all, and I think that it is a bit overrated.

Well, they DO Have to have standards. They can't just accept every poorly written piece of crap that gets forwarded to them.

I know, but some of them were truly masterpieces with hundreds of favorites on DeviantART and stuff... I just don't get it.

Besides, I have seen some poorly made paint drawings making it to the site.

Erm, that's subjective. Point being it is not an official site and is still run by fallible human beings. Even if they do sometimes let something in that they shouldn't, well, to error is human.

Nice. I had assumed that their work on the Equestria Girls movie would delay the start of Season 5.

Fair enough, my friend.

Of course, he was right all along (I still don't like that site, but he was right :)).

For anyone who might be interested, a charity livestream by one of the most well known MLP fan artists, Jananimations, is about to start.

You might know him from videos like Button's Adventures and Picture Perfect Pony.

All needed information can be found here, including the stream link:

See you there :) I go by the name of DerpyRocks in that chat.

Also, my buddy finished another drawing:

Go and give him some (deserved) favourites :D

Before anyone panics, I'd just like to point out that a recent update on Equestria Daily confirms that the "somepony will die" tweet was just a joke. Just ignore it and move on...

Yes, that's a new Pokemon!
Not to mention, a lot of people we're curious when they said 7 main characters. The seventh one was Spike. So many forget him. :D

And how about that owl character? Is he THAT irrelevant?

While not irrelevant Owlowiscious' role doesn't really get him anywhere near the significance of Spike. Not only for lack of speaking ability but also for much less frequent appearance. In spite of his unquestionable intelligence Owlowiscious seems to be set a bit more on the same level as Tank, Angel, Gummy, Opalescense and Winona. It may be a bit unfair (since we rarely see him in the role as Twilight's nighttime assistant), but Owlowiscious is considered more of a pet while calling Spike that would sound a bit like snide.
