Fan Fiction Review #047: Wild, Sweet, and Cool

I've seen a lot of things that look shippy, but this one puts on a reflective belt and yells 'TWIDASH' in my face.

Author: Kwakerjak

After reading a book by Spitfire's personal trainer, Rainbow Dash decides that the best way to get closer to her ultimate goal of joining the Wonderbolts is to add strength training to her practices by having one of her friends ride her. However, when she decides that Twilight Sparkle is just the mare for the job, the pegasus gets a bit more than she bargained for.

I guess it's my job to do just a bit more than freak out at a cover art and try to start a Pinkie mob, though I'll have you know this only got read on direct orders.  They banish ponies here.. anyways, catch the breakdown after the break!

Fan Fiction Review #043: Death Note: Equestria

Death Note with ponies? My interest has been piqued.

Author: Nonagon

Equestria is growing, and magical savant Twilight Sparkle is disgusted by the crime and corruption this change has brought. Her life is changed forever when she discovers the Death Note, a notebook with inexplicable and deadly powers. She uses this book to pass judgement on those she deems unworthy of life, aiming to create a perfect world free of crime. But when the two Princesses put their best pony on the case, a mysterious detective known only as L, a psychological game of cat and mouse erupts between the two.

Comments contain spoilers. Artwork by blu-red, opening by Anon3mous. Now with its own TV Tropes page.

Well, this sounds like an interesting crossover. I mean, a tool of mass destruction such as the Death Note would be interesting to throw into a world of peace-loving ponies. I wonder what their reactions would be? Does this fic explore the possibilities of the chaos or lack thereof of said object being introduced to this world of love and friendship?

Nope!

ARTillery Inbound #023

Fear me you lords and lady preachers (colored)by *Rex42

Rainbow Dash is ready to get down to business, and so are we in this week's ARTillery Inbound!

Fan Fiction Review #035: Aces High

For something halfway between sorrow and determination

I think we all agreed Lightning Dust got what was coming to her, but I'm pretty sure we all wanted to know what happened to that hotshot.  This is a take on what went down in the locker room afterwords.

Author: Shadow_Wolf (check link)

The events of the Wonderbolt Academy have played out and Rainbow Dash is in the stretch to achieving her dream but still has a hard time getting a certain erstwhile friend out of her mind. After taking a few minutes to contemplate things, she decides that she's been given enough second chances in her life to see to it that somepony else gets one as well.

Your boss is tapping her hoof and waiting to give you a stern lecture after the break.

Fan Fiction Review #033: Something To Remember Me By

Something to remember who by?

Author: ChaoticHarmony

Everything must end eventually. Ponies will drift apart as they grow, each of them pulled down a separate path of life. For some, it's a paved road lined with bright lights and jeweled sunshine. For others, it is merely a simple trail with only the light of the stars, sun, and moon to guide them.

Yeah, this is going to hurt.....

Attack of the Memes: #004

Ladies...by ~DaggetWithaDagger

Yo, dawg. Those grillz are serious. Spikie-wikie is best real OG.

For this week's Meme Attack, it seems that the brony community wasn't too immediately productive in the form of artwork, and instead focused on vectors and generalized memes.

Safe for work advisement: there is one use of a fecal expletive.

The MWR #003

Yes, there are no episodes for a while, so we are going to have to scour the the interwebs while we wait desperately for more ponies, now made easy and in a single post with the MWR!

Memes! Guns! Acoustic Trance! Explosions! Justin Bieber Octavia! Avengers! Molten lead! Spitfires (non-pony)!

Kilroy's Comics Corner: #006

Surprise, Scootalooby *THAT1ANDONLY

  *UPDATE: 01-07-2013: I HAD TO CHANGE THE PICTURE BECAUSE I FOUND THIS ONE SO BEAUTIFUL... *sob*... GOOD FOR YOU SCOOTS!

Alright! I've slowly collected enough comics in the Deviant Art account to make a proper post. I was hoping it would be all military themed, but alas, you'll just have to settle with about half way military themed.

Standby for pony comics!

Fan Fiction Review #028: Keeping Your Hooves On The Ground

Diabeetus...

Author: InsertAuthorHere

   The Cutie Mark Crusaders ask Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy about what happened just after the events of the Cutie Mark Chronicles; specifically, what happened to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash immediately after the race. Reluctantly, Dash and Fluttershy delve into a tale.  A tale of a young Fluttershy's amazement at the world she had landed upon, and a filly Dash's desperate quest to save her from that most evil of places: THE GROUND.

Will this story melt the Drill Sergeant's frozen heart? Grab your insulin and head past the jump to find out!

ARTillery Inbound #016

"You Shall Not Pass" by Inu-Hoshi-to-Dark Pen

Steel plating is useless in protecting the wearer in the rain. Then again, if your fighting some sort of beast off screen your probably not too concerned about that...

What you would be concerned about is how soon your next fire mission will arrive, in this next ARTillery Inbound!

Attack of the Memes! #002

Source: Military Bronies Facebook page

So I renamed Brony Reaction Force into something less misleading for this week after a helpful suggestion in the comments. Once again, we are going over the brony community's immediate response to episodes in art, music, memes, and other forms of media.

So this week's episode didn't get much attention from the fandom in general, but that's because it's pretty much our episode to work with. As such, nearly all the meme stuff came from the Military Bronies Facebook Page.

As this is military humor oriented and involves both memes AND the internet... BE ADVISED: NSFW: Language

Fan Fiction Review #026: Letters from the Crescent Sun

Ever heard the saying 'Fighting for peace is like bucking for virginity'?  I know these guys wouldn't agree.

Jump on into the cockpit, we'll give you the brief on the way to the objective, after the break.

Fan Fiction Review #024: Wings of Gold

HeyguyshowyoudoinggoodokaythatsgreatsorryIgottagolotsdodowhhheeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Author: totallynotabrony

Rainbow is depressed after she is unable to join the Wonderbolts. Her friends get her a ticket to an air show on Earth to cheer her up. She unexpectedly falls in love with jets, and decides that she wants to be a pilot no matter what it takes. She'll need education, training, and more than a little luck.

Does this fic feel the need, the need for speed? Find out after the jump!

Fan Fiction Review #020: Not in My Air Force You Don't!

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS STORY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM FIMFICTION. IF ANYONE HAS A LINK WHERE IT MAY BE FOUND, PLEASE LET US KNOW VIA EMAIL.

'Sup my military bronies? Spangle here with another review... yes I still do these! Especially when the story is about the US Air Force!

This story was recommended to me by one of my fellow Airmen, to whom I can only say "What did you just make me read."

Author: Twystron500

I'm not joking. This is close to how it really is! The insanity that I deal with everyday! This story definitely deserves the random tag. It's also loosely based on true events in my life. Rainbow Dash is the leading Senior NCO of a Com squadron. Pinkie's this spastic Technical Sergeant. Twilight is a grumpy Master Sergeant. Fluttershy is the adorable Commander. Yay.

What do I mean by that comment? Find out after the jump!

ARTillery Inbound #014

OMG! What are you doing Lance Corpral Shmuckatelli!

Unfortunately SOME PONY decided to go and do something stupid on the parade deck. Then SOME OTHER PONY decided to upload the pictures on to Facehoof, and now they are here.

In any case, we must suspend our non-mission essential activites while we adjust fire for the next ARTillery inbound!

SITREP #019: Season 3 Announced for... Marine Corps Birthday?

Well... this is a pleasant surprise/coincidence.

Season 3 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is airing on November 10th, 2012 when 237 years ago the Marine Corps was founded in Tun Tavern, Fillydelphia. Did they do this intentionally to subtly give a shoutout to of the one of the most rising subsections of the Brony fandom? Maybe. Then again, we should hardly be surprised considering 1. We're awesome. 2. We're Tara Strong's favorite Bronies. 3. Shining Armor is in the episode and seems to be playing a game of tag with Lord Somber.

Post in the forums about your speculations! Will this season be awesome? Or will it be more awesome?

Kilroy's Comics Corner: #004

You didn't see the DMR coming did you?

1st Awesome Platoon made this just for me out of the kindness of their hearts because they are awesome people and you should hug them.

I don't care if the AT-4 is a little much, I do what a want.

ANYWAYS:

Up next is a large post for Kilroy's Comics Corner. We've got plenty of Works form 1st Awesome, Nibian-Destikim, Dreatos, Nutronicsoup, and more... Or in non-artist names: Guns, Gate gaurds, Dovashy, and Rainbow Dash v. F-16

ARTillery Inbound! #012: Fast Movers Edition

Due to some beneficial changes in our Escalation of Force proceedures, we now have Fast Movers (or "animations" as the hippy peace niks like to call it) for our ARTillery Inbound Volleys.

We call it, "modernizing the arsenal for force protection".

Included will be Jets, fighters, miniguns, and racing(because I got carried away). Additionally, almost every piece has MUSIC so be advised.

Also, I've got some good intel for Canterlot Gardens at the end of the post.
