What is the 'inspiration' series? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else in this thread. I 'have' seen Myths and birthrights, and though I haven't read it, it's on my to-read list xD
Either way, this sounds 'very' interesting and I actually have several ideas for characters, across the range between mundane ponies, changelings, and alicorns.
Also, there's never enough ponies on this site anymore, and that sucks because every other place I can find them tend to be... sub-par, in the sense of mindless uninvested one-liners that make me wonder why they don't just play in their imagination instead. I miss finding decent Pony RP on 'this' site TxT
EDIT: Also, I remember the name 'Nom de Plume' from the old days of this site >3> Just not sure from where 'exactly'.
