Pony Corral / What happened to Kimono's Townhouse?
« on: April 07, 2019, 09:12:41 AM »
Every so often I go and read all of Kimono's townhouse all the way through. But while the site and most of it's content is up, the comic pages are nowhere to be found! I know that KT is quite old by now and hasn't been updated in a long time. Is this why they are no longer accessible or did the artist take them down? Just curious if anyone knows what happened. I think it's been over a year minimum since I last visited KT.

Introductions / The pony fever returns
« on: March 18, 2019, 10:02:50 AM »
So I took a lot of time away from the arena as I got caught up with other things and other interests. But as I've started eyeing up ponies on eBay again and the final season starts soon I thought I'd reintroduce myself to you lovely people.  ^.^

I'm Storybelle, 27 and British. I've loved ponies for so long I actually don't remember a time without them? I slip in and out of obsession but the ponies always stay! I culled my collection when I moved, to just favourites and the rarer ones but I'd love some designated pony shelves some day. My favourites include Wind Whistler, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Sweet Berry, Gingerbread, Moon Shadow and Kimono.

Outside of ponies I do spin, knit, sleep, read, scrapbook, play very loud music and occasionally bake. I also drink a lot of coffee.

I'm currently taking time off from work to try and deal with my mental health as it's peak awful at the moment. I'm also attempting to try and branch out a bit? But due to the lovely thing that is social anxiety, I suck at actual people so I figured I'd start by trying to make a few more friends online. I met one of my very good friends via the arena so I thought this would be a good place to start.  :lovey:

Arts & Crafts Corral / Non pony art commission!
« on: July 30, 2017, 01:20:03 PM »
I'm looking to commission some art but it's actually not for pony!

I have a book blog that I run with a friend and we've been discussing about having some original art for a while now to make the blog stand out and be a bit more professional. We'd like a banner and an icon preferably and I finally decided to go scouting out an artist who can help with that, both by making it and offering a little creative input. We're both crafty people but neither of us have any idea on how to go about this sort of thing!

Starting here might be a bit of a strange place but I'd love to support a fellow pony fan if I can, should anybody be able to help.

I'm considering doing the same for our sporking website further down the line but for now I'm just seeing if I can find the right artist.  ^.^

Our website is here: https://noveldarlings.wordpress.com if you wanted to have a look and see what we do.

Thanks very much!  :hope:

Pony Corral / Pony herds in not a lot of space?
« on: July 24, 2017, 02:39:06 PM »
I'm about to move in two short weeks (TOO SHORT. I had three weeks notice that I had to move. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH NOTICE) and I'm wondering what you guys do when you live in houses that don't have a whole lot of room for your collections.

To clarify, me, my 300 strong herd and a good few playsets will be moving into a small flat in the centre of a town with my boyfriend, his collection of magic cards, stabby things and board games, on top of our other housemate's already existing bits and pieces.

I don't want my herd to get damaged or shoved aside while we live there. What do you guys do to store ponies and playsets when you have not a lot of room? Do you have any good tips or ideas for displaying as well? I'd like to have a small display out and possily rotate it but any and all ideas welcome.  ^.^

The Dollhouse / Price Check for MH/EAH
« on: February 01, 2017, 10:03:05 AM »
I'm going to be moving soon and I'll unfortunately have significantly less space. I've prioritised my ponies and books so I am cutting down on my doll collection even further. However, I'd like to find out a rough worth for these before I sell them.

Any help would be appreciated!   ^.^

Off Topic / So I lost my job today
« on: January 27, 2017, 02:51:52 PM »
This afternoon the manager asked if I was free to have a word with the CEO. He explained that conferencing has been struggling the past year and hasn't really made it's budget. He's had no choice but to make the hard decision. I was the last one in so it makes sense that I'm the first one out.

I was not expecting when I arrived this morning that it would be my last day. Still a bit in shock but coming to terms with it. Just wondering what I'm going to do now.  :huh:

Anyone got any advice?

Trader & Shipping Support / Buying ponies from China

The Dollhouse / Monster High Minis
« on: July 22, 2016, 04:12:40 PM »
Has anybody seen them out in the UK yet? I saw them a few weeks ago and I want to start collecting them but I also don't want to pay the ebay prices. I'm hoping to find them in stores soon.

Anybody collect them? Anybody want to collect them? I think they're so adorable and a real surprise. With the reboot I wasn't expecting to buy anything Monster High related for a really long time.

Wanted! / Cutie Mark Trixie and others that got away
« on: July 10, 2016, 07:36:34 AM »
I'm in the UK and at the moment it seems that some pony wants always escape my reach! I've had months of being outbid and just missing them! Thought I'd see if anybody on here has them for sale or can grab them for me.

Breezie/TAF Trixie (always, ALWAYS out of my reach! She's the last one I need to have all of them!)
Crowning Glory (another one to finish the set. I have Pretty Palace and Royal Beauty already and once again, I was outbid on Glory!)
January Joy, August Breeze and December Delight (only three away from having all the birthstone ponies!)

My general want list is muuuuch longer.  :biggrin: But atm these are the ones that got away!

Pony Corral / Anyone interested in pre-reading a pony fic?
« on: July 02, 2016, 03:56:50 PM »
I've already posted this to MLPTP but I thought I'd try here as well. I've had some good feedback but I'm still searching for a pre-reader!  I'm writing a G1 inspired pony fic and I have my best friend proofread it but she's not into pony. I need someone familiar with G1 and G4 who can tell me if Tambelon is creepy enough or if Celestia is in character for example.

I've tried Fimfiction but haven't found anybody who fits my requirements or isn't interested in the fic I'm doing, either because it's OC or it's too long or just don't know much about G1. I thought I'd try here on the off chance somebody would be up for it.

The fic is on fimfiction under the pen name of Storybelle if you want to see if it's something you're interested in or just want to have a read. Any feedback would be appreciated though my ultimate goal is to find a pre-reader for each chapter.

Thanks in advance!

Introductions / New here
« on: April 09, 2014, 06:38:27 AM »
So, I'm new here. I'm on MLPTP so I thought I should get signed up over here too.

The basics about me:

1. I'm 22.

2. I live in England

3. I've been into ponies since I was a kid and started hardcore collecting about the time FIM started. I have over 500 now and my mother reckons they may just bring the floor down if I get anymore.

4. My username is from a G3 pony.

Nice to meet you.  ^.^
