I have time now. :) And I have some apples I'd love to sell if the retail is open.
Can't promise I'll make it tomorrow, but I should be available around this same time. If so I'd like to get a shot at Winnie!

@ Milky
Lemme see if I got this ... if I visit your town and talk to Winnie, will that give me a chance to have her once I've kicked one of my own villagers out? (I got Tammy from my brothers game!)

I'd love to visit. :) I don't steal stuff or run over flowers.

Oh, Winnie is so cute! Too bad Chester refuses to move out of my town. :(
I really don't want him since I already have both Chow and Tammy, and they're staying!

Edit: Okay, I've added Yuru, Milky, ANC, and Bandit.
If you want to add me it's Johanna 2208-5291-5211

Hmm, lemme see ... my FC is 2208-5291-5211
Feel free to add me, I'll add you too! Just don't expect to see me online much ... I mean, my zone is GMT+1. :(

I got my game on July 10th (it's been completely sold out throughout Sweden!) so the town isn't very impressive, but in case you want it DC is 7600-2421-7054

Edit: Oh, and the name's Johanna! (Looks like you need it to register an FC.)

Heya!
I saw the codes in your signatures and was so excited! I tried enter one in the Dream Lounge, but for some reason it didn't work. Are the FCs different from the dream addies? I'd love to see your dreams (or visit ... I don't have any pears or peaches). :)

What do you write?

When I was a wee gal I wrote two long illustrated series called "Yoshi and Dino" and "The killer whale and the dolphin", both stories about the adventures of two best friends (the second friendship naturally being a little more controversial than the first, where both character where dinosaurs).

When I started school I always took the opportunity to write my own stories whenever I could, taking A4 paper stapled together with a coloured sheet of paper and folding into little books. The stories mostly revolved around animals. Like in the Disney movies Bambi and The Lion King, the main character grew up, found a spouse and completed the circle of life.
When I was still a small kid my dad let me play with the typewriter, and I moved on to writing on computer when I was no longer than seven and produced my first novel, "the young roe". It sucked, of course. It didn't have a red thread, a consistent opening, middle or ending, but I had fun writing it.

In my dark teenage years I wrote a lot of insightful, beautiful, and awful poetry. I also wrote one very short, romantical piece of self-inserted fanfiction - probably the among the most embarrasing thing I ever produced.
I also started online text RPGing at 14 years old. 

(TL;DR my life's story, I know, but I always enjoy reading what others wrote when they were still kids!)

It was sometime in my late teens I sprouted the idea that would become what I'm still currently working on, "Wild Rose". It has been in production for over five years and rewritten at least that many times.
Basically it's a story about what I would have wanted to read as a kid, mixing much material from my favourite books and movies growing up. But it is also my self biography in a sense. Disguised as a children's story, it's about feeling left out and finding your way. Finding home. It gets pretty deep and kind of dark at times.

Fiction? Non-fiction?

My current story is fictional. It has both "talking" animals (quotation marks because they don't actually talk in any human language and don't understand other species than temselves) and elements of magic.

When finished I dream of someday writing a fantasy epic. Something unique. Something with twists and turns. I'm writing down every single idea I'm getting. As a creative process, this has been going on at least for as long as "Wild Rose", but I haven't had a clear view of what I want to do since a very peculiar dream I had earlier this year.

Wouldn't try non-fiction unless I went back to writing poetry and essays, I think.

What are you working on now?


Text and illustrations for Wild Rose.

What's your favorite thing to write?

For leisure I still role-play, but Wild Rose is my baby.

Are you published anywhere?

No! Not yet! It's secret! It's safe!

Do you have writer's block? How do you cure it?

No. I have it all planned out. I've just taken a looong hiatus from writing because of my writers block. I just came back from working the entire summer and I'm shock full of new ideas to use when completing my final chapters, but it's hard getting back into it. I think I'll need to force myself to look at it sometime this semester, and I'll fall right back into it!

Do you write to music?


I could never wrap my head around them musical notes. But I love writing verses! Going to to put some spell incantations into my work.

What genre could you never write?

Romance. Ugh ugh ick *throws a copy of Twilight (that I don't have) from the balcony*
I bet there are good romance novels but these were never my genre. Good romances should preferably be naturally worked into other works of fiction, not be the main focus of them!

Read any books or blogs on writing and want to recommend some?

I have some articles from Writer's Digest bookmarked. Guess I at some point in time found these particularly helpful or fun to read.

I LOVE how you open with "hi hes m uncle gimme money".
But I laughed out loud in the end. I can't believe he actually tried talking cats with you!

Ah, the G3 ponies have lovely colour schemes!
Going into G3 colllecting it helps to be aware that there are mostly earthlings, some pegasi and just a handful of unicorns. There are also many exclusives that were only given out at fairs.
http://www.strawberryreef.com/ is really helpful. Good luck!

Edit: As for the series I only ever had the Butterfly Island DVD. It's cute.

I regrettably can't provide you with a proper answer, but it would help if you described the condition of the card. Is the plastic bubble yellowed or coming loose?

Firefly is one of my favorite ponies, but i can not stand her pose  :cry:
Open-mouth poses in general have made me dislike ponies i probably would've liked otherwise.

Well, there's the movie version. ;)

My ponies have two levels in a very narrow glass door case to themselves. It is currently home to 19 ponies: 7 G4, 1 G3, and 11 G1. But three ponies have somehow made the way into our living room. Rosedust, Wild Flower, and Princess Misty are peeking down on me right now. :)
I live in a one-room apartment, excluding the narrow hallway. Of course I'm one day hoping to display more ponies, especially my G2 princesses.

She totally looks like G1 Starbow. Now if only she had her symbol to go with the mane. *sigh*

Fizzy is one of my favourite ponies from the series. When I finally got her as an adult collector I didn't like her as much as I thought I would. I mean, I like her, but after having had her sitting in my pony cabinet for a couple of years I find myself asking; "Fizzy, why are your mane colours in reverse?"
