first batch of questions, answered questions already deleted.

Not sure how this works. can the questions be viewed in the tumblrs inbox? I cant seem to find them.

>>52921
I think he's just going to post them here / mlpg
tumblr is kind of retarded so idunno what else to do. maybe hand out the password?

>>52921

i'm not entirely sure if nonadmin members can see questions, doc. i hope so.

they should be under messages over on the right when in the ponyville replies dashboard.

everyone can still submit answers from the main page.

i'm not entirely sure if nonadmin members can see questions, doc. i hope so.

they should be under messages over on the right when in the ponyville replies dashboard.

everyone can still submit answers from the main page.

yeah, so i did some testing with my other tumblr account. only members promoted to admins can read messages, and that also means they get access to EVERYTHING PERMANENTLY. so if somebody wants to be able to post responses without having to wait for me to approve it, i can still be added to the group, but not many are gonna be given full access. don't go deleting everything doc.

anyway, SUBMIT YOUR STUFF, YOU DON'T NEED AN ACCOUNT OR ANYTHING.

WHO parked their CARRIAGE on my DAFFODIL SANDWICH?!

Oh, this looks like fun! I didn't know this existed.

two more on the way.

>>52930
can i haz group ploz?

>>53101

yes

Oh, this looks fun! Is there a way to submit images for answered questions?

>>53105

yes, just use the submit button right under the ask button. why does nobody know that exists? its on almost every tumblr.

also, 5 new questions.

even more.

not sure if i mentioned it to rose, but don't delete any questions. i'd like to clean up answered ones myself if possible.

>>53113
oooohhh, Yeah ok. Me and Dr. White were fighting each other for claims

>>53114

i heard.

dr white was totally streaming himself talking to all y'all in skype while drawing.

so no deleting questions. YOU MUST FIGHT EACH OTHER IN THE ARENA FOR MY AMUSEMENT.

This is the first blog I've seen that accepts submitted answers. Great idea!

Prepare for some responses from me in the near future. Question pics saved.

We should allow questions to get answered more than once anyway.

Er, in my opinion, I think that'd be a good idea.

>>53120

we could. these images aren't gonna change.

really, that deleteing question talk was more for just inbox management for a tumblr with multiple admins.

also, thanks for submission tex.

>>53122
No problem. Say, how many people can be admins? Could I be one? It'd be nice to see the questions myself, but if not, then it's all good.

>>53129

sure tex, ill trust your ass. just send me your email so i can get you in there.

uhh here. illl post my scaled down horses related email.

only real thing i ask, DELETE NOTHING. not even OC donut steel so dark and edgy color swaps.

ill handle cleanup. but feel free to publish submissions, post questions we get here,make posts youself, and all that good stuff. this goes for you too, doc, dooks, and rose.

I'm doing the >rape one with pip. You saw me stream part of it.

>>53132

>>53162

alright, that works too. just sent the invite.

>>53115
I think I am going to do this one.

How would one go about submitting a three-part response?

The submission system is being fussy for me, so here are the links for the three-part response.

Pt 1: http://derpy.me/xmHnu

Pt 2: http://derpy.me/mIW8w

Pt 3: http://derpy.me/Tujqj

>>53216

yeah, submissions can sadly only be one image.

so you can either edit them all together into one, or i just can post them myself. your choice. i would prefer if you submitted it, because then your name will show up as the one who sent it in.

ALSO, MORE QUESTIONS.

>>53218

I actually have put all the images into one, so that works out quite well.

What if, for the banner, we get some of the people answering questions to draw one of the main cast members. Something of a group photo or something like that.

>>53222

i like the way you think Tex. and we do need a banner.

but honestly, i am kinda growing attached to the orange background.

these two questions together just made me laugh.

>>53228
It's almost time when the time is here,
The time that's only once a year.
We can hardly wait, 'cause it's so near.
A Background Pony Christmas!

OH GEE I WONDER WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY ASKED THIS QUESTION

Hey Krabb. I have a submission to make, but please first add the tags "Luna" (required) and "drinking" (optional).

Thank you.

>>53235

i ran out of useable tags. apparently there is a limit, and its short as hell.

i was planning on doing a sweep at some point and retagging submitted things. i dont have zecora, celestia, luna or lots of things that should be required. Oh, i know just tag to put.

also, holy hell Tex. Insulted derpy means shitstorm.

>>53239
>i ran out of useable tags. apparently there is a limit, and its short as hell.
Uh, so at a certain point we're just shit out of luck? That's dumb.

Guess I'll just submit now.

>>53240

well, are tags really that important anyway?

>>53241
Only once the blog becomes many many pages long.

>>53242

well i added a new tag, and it should solve all tag related issues. more work for me, BUT I DONT GIVE A FUCK.

MINIONS, er i mean Dooks, White, Rose, and Tex GUESS WHAT YOU'RE NEW JOB IS THAT ILL ASK OF YOU AND DO FOR YOU ANYWAY

I published Tess' submission. I'm allowed to do that, right?

Thanks Tess, anyway.

Also, I'd like to commit to the pony banner idea. Maybe have some communication on what ponies people are going to draw. I think it'd be nice if they were interacting with each other.

Also, orange is gross, but whatever.

Hey, Krabb, mind if I join on the admin fun?
>>53318
Thanks a bunch Tex! And a banner does sound like a good idea.
Also that orange is indeed gross looking.

>>53318

sure. all i really ask is not to delete anything. go nuts, puplish stuff, post stuff yourself, screencap questions, edit better tags onto submissions, and really anything else.

>>53319
of course tess, now we already have tex. Now we just need Toss and we'll have ourselves a regular T party. Just sent it.

as for the banner, adminpeople, call dibs on a mane 6 pony or something.

>>53322
all dose requests

>>53331
HAHAHHA, as much as i want to...and believe me i really do. i just cannot publish that fagnig. it goes against my better judgement.

well shit.

editing a post makes the post "yours" so if you really want your tags changed the post will become mine for some goddamn reason. i can change submissions from people without tumblrs no problem. it will just say me instead of nothing. but i dont want to remove the tumblr link on submissions from other tumblr accounts.

i think tags might have to just kinda suck, sadly.

>>53346

oh wait hang on.

it does not remove it if it was sent from an actual tumblr. SCRATCH EVERYTHING I SAID NEW TAGS FULL SPEED AHEAD

also, why cant i hold all these followers? its hasn't even been a full week.

>>53350
We've a long way to go, but I feel like the tumblr could become really great with time. And exposure. Is anyone against uploading this stuff to ponibooru?

On a note about the banner, I think the ponies should interact with each other in pairs on it. For example if I drew x pony and someone else drew y pony, we would collaborate on some interaction to draw. Then, two others would draw two different ponies and so on and so forth until we at least have the main six on the banner. If any more people collaborate we could add more ponies by twos starting with other secondary characters.

That's my two cents.

>>53351
Actually, that sounds really awesome.
Maybe we could put in a group of three somewhere though? It just seems like a whole banner of just pairs of ponies wouldn't be as interesting.
OH! Something we could do is get some artists with really contrasting styles and have them work on a pair of ponies. It has potential for a lot of great humor.

>>53361
Any amount of ponies interacting sounds good to me. Maybe have the CMC all together or something.

Also, maybe some artists could collaborate on answers as well, we just need to communicate more.

>>53351
>>53361
>>53366

ALRIGHT ARTPEOPLE, buddy up. find a partner and make a teamed up art. i like this idea, contrasting styles and what not. and i agree we do need some more communication.

more questions.

also, nice coke pone rose.

Can I draw another sad Derpy?

Just, even more sad?

>>53376
I would be honored to collaborab with your powers Dooks if you're down. What question do you wanna see done and/or have it answered wise?

>>53389

[spoiler]Do it

>>53389

do it

Would it be possible to include the artist's name in the post? I would love to track down some of these artists, but can't if they aren't credited anywhere. Also, I would like to submit my own art, but it would be nice to be credited. :P

>>53402

they are credited. Followers get to see a small artist box next to each post(or simply a full box if it was posted by one of the admins) on their dashboard showing who submitted it.

it's also always the first tumblr post note, saying "submitted by X"


SO GO FOR IT, submit some stuff.

>>53404

no wait, I'm wrong. it's always the little box no matter what.

bamp

This is a thing and I approve of it. Keep it up!

>>53483
You can join in too, you know, unless you already have then I apologize.

Also, I am not going to do the Derpy question, so if anyone wants that, go ahead.

more questions.

also, the latest submission was absolutely hilarious. GOTTA GO FAST

>>53485
I would but I've already got two pony ask blogs under my belt at the moment. Maybe once in a while I might do a doodle for something.

MORE QUESTIONS

>>53487
Go for it, if you get the chance.

haha, we have been getting great submissions recently. keep it up. flutterNathan Explosionshy made me laugh.

Tess I adore your take on the space program one. I like that it works as a prequel to mine. She totally just lost the helmet in the launch, that's all!

>>53570

i agree, Derpy with a space helmet is just adorable.

I've grown fond of giving question images funny filenames.

Is there any way to find out if a picture we submittied was declined?

>>53594
yeah.
if it doesnt get posted.

Krabb, we gotta work out a more streamlined system for getting the questions sorted for our artists. As the volume of questions increases, it's gonna get more and more scattered and more confusing to keep track of which questions have been answered and which haven't.

>>53389
i'm drawing/animating the tiara one.

>>53598
pretty much yeah.

i got something earlier i had to decline because it had two older posts in it already(not resized or anything, just taking up 2/3 of the image) and didn't really answer any questions. too much cludder and meta.

guess i just might flat out say it. If its not good enough, its not gonna get posted. but "good enough" is super lax.


And to answer this question i got, submissions can sadly only be one image. Dr. white is simply flaunting his posting multiple images power.

>>53599

well I've petty much given up trying to stop people from all answering the same question.

it's kinda fun to see different artists' take on the same thing. and yeah, the bigger this gets, the more annoying its gonna be for artists to see the questions. ill have to make a "master list" of questions or something.

and i couldn't even finish typing this without getting another question.

>>53602

Laurn Faust pony with a shotgun, right? Yeah, that was me. Sorry. I'll keep it to direct answers.

Would it have been better to just include the relevant questions and not their responses, or would you prefer I just forget that idea all together?

>>53612

i honestly wasn't too fond of it, i am really not really a big fan of Lauren Faust pony in general. but if you want to reference older posts or something, you should have made the images thumbnail sized or something.

ponies that actually exist in ponyville are preferred, with few exceptions of course.

Okay Krabb, I whipped this up as a potential solution. What do you think? Be brutally honest.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O9QQa6JfTGJWT-gakBrtoMTQz7im6_NA5oavfzoKbog/edit

>>53618

Light to no meta, keep it in Ponyville, and if a previous answer *has* to be referenced, make it small. Got it.

>>53620
I like that as a sort of stopgap. Perhaps people that've submitted can go through and mark questions with their name if they've done a submissions of it that got posted?

>>53612
I think the best thing to do is focus on the questions and the jokes first and foremost.
I think the best tumblrs are the ones that just answer a question with a joke and move on to the next. When posts start referencing each other, things can get pretty silly.
Of course, I can't speak for anyone else so all I can do is offer my opinions.

>>53620

that's...actually pretty good, cartoon pony. it's easier than making people open a bunch of images.

AND I ALWAYS TRY TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST

>>53623
yeah, if you added links to any tumblr posts that answer those questions, that would make it super awesome.

>>53625

My thoughts exactly, Tess.

DO IT FOR THE FUNNY

i am not sure how google docs works, but if more than one person can edit them, then a google doc for questions would be great.

>>53623
>>53626
Well, I went through all of the posts on the blog so far and just wiped the ones that had already been done from the list.

I suppose I could re-add them to add the tumblr links? The main reason I got rid of them was to avoid repetitions - but I will admit that we have gotten some nice answers out of repeat questions. Your call then.

Maybe I'll put the answered ones in their own new section?

>>53628

i would just link them right there on the question.

a question having a big answered link right there would deter repetition enough, but still let others do it if they had a really good idea or something.

OKAY

based on what Ive seen Google docs be able to do, i might just put the questions and question images in there, and simply use this thread for art posted and questions about the tumblr and whatnot.

yay or nay?

uploaded my thing (via external). man tumblr does not like big gifs at all.

>>53638

yeah, tumblr can be a jerk. Thanks for the submission, Tiara lost guy.

also, i think i will switch over completely to the google doc. NOT NOW, BUT SOON.

if you're wondering if I'm lazy and not updating the Google doc very quickly, YOU'D BE RIGHT

but I'm working on it.

also, patecore. id like to post your submission, but you are going to have to take this like abomination here and replace it with rainbow dash's face first.

Goddamnit I wanted to answer the one with 'who is purplest pone'

I had a good idea for an answer and everything

i made this to answer the question but when i notice that Tiara_lost beat me so i leave it here and is up to you if this will end in the tumblr

>>53689
post it it's lovely!

>>53689

yeah, submit it. it's great.

like i said earlier, it doesn't matter if another person answered a question already. i love seeing different takes on the same thing.

now, I've got a google doc to completely rehaul and question images to edit together. hopefully, i can make it so its easy for me to add more stuff to it. but in the meantime, more questions.

Here's a way to direct link.

<a href="URL">"text"</a>

Place the above code in the description box, and put the URL where it goes; same for the text.

>>53693

oh that's not me not knowing how to do it, that's just me being LAZY. ill fix it in a bit.

OKAY

we have gone full Google doc. its easier to read, and simply more organized. ill get my adminpeople editing powers on it somehow.

also, cartoon pony is insane and cropping each question image individually himself. ill probably do three at a time to keep the images relatively small and everything neat.

so i guess this thread is more for art and questions about the tumblr now.

ALSO FOR COLLABS, LIKE THAT BANNER WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE.

anyway, just got an adorable submission from Will.

I just learned about this Tumblr being a collab effort after WillDraw's submission got greenlighted.

I may try whipping up something for a question sometime. I still have a long way to go with my drawing skills, but it'll be a nice change up from the usual questions I get on my own ask Tumblr.

is this supposed to stay sfw or are there any rules or anything?

>>53710

haha, you know that simply hasn't come up till now.

above all, i think things should be FUNNY, ADORABLE, or perhaps cool, but that's kinda hard to do with cartoon scaled down horses.

safe for work is what i was shooting for, but a really lax kind of safe for work. As long as it isn't straight up porn, go for it.

Pretty much if it doesn't have horsecock, horsevagina,horseanus, or horsetits in it, you're good.

>>53688
Please do it anyway. I picked that one since I doubted anybody else would do it. I'd like to see what your idea was.

>>53688
>>53723
I think most of us have agreed by now that more than one person is allowed to work on the same question.
Don't worry about someone else answering a question you wanted. Repeat answers are just fine.

>>53710
Also bear in mind that there is no internal continuity. We're tellin' jokes and drawin' cute ponies, not tellin' long-winded collaborative visual fiction.

OKAY

so i went though and updated the Google doc with links to answered questions, and hopefully solved the problem some of you guys were having with inbox clutter. i know some of you guys (tex, rose, etc.) already have questions rolling in from your ask and artist tumblrs, and didn't need P-replies questions piling up in your inbox that i didn't want you to delete. so after i get the questions screencapped and in the doc, ill get rid of them.

ALSO,
FEEL FREE TO PUT YOUR NAME IN THE IMAGE CAPTION.

And about the banner, I'm thinking i could kinda plot out how it should look, and then pass it around to you guys, and let you all draw a pony on it?

>>53908
I'd draw something for a banner. Keep in mind I'm real slow, though.

Is there an explicit rule regarding meta submissions? Reading the thread, it's "light to none". There's a submission in now that I'm not sure what to do with, it's the one by yourniggaangel. What's the verdict?

>>53908
I'd draw something for a banner. Keep in mind I'm real slow, though.

Is there an explicit rule regarding meta submissions? Reading the thread, it's "light to none". Where's the line exactly? I published something just now that I determined qualified as "light meta".

>>54194

basically if it really REQUIRES viewing other posts, it's probably too meta. something needs to kinda stand on its own.

but if it's funny enough, there can always be exceptions.

also,
>this

hahaha, i laughed.

dem questions man, dem questions

>>54225

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS THEN

DAFTYKINS CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL.

SOMEBODY UPDATE THE LIST OF ANSWERED QUESTIONS

"Why would the good gentleman have any doubts?"
(Baroness Von Scratch is offended by your lack of faith in her excellent musical tastes.)

tumblr wouuld't allow me to post this anon, or even with "garbage" in the email field, so I'm hoping y'all will pick it up from here.

Also, sorry for the shitty drawing, I'll promise to practice and get better.

>>58328
Done and done.

>>58328

thats odd, but i think the garbage still has to be in the format of an actual email. as in EXAMPLE@website.com

tumblr is dumb.

I am John

>>58692

So ya, anon from MLPG told me to come here because I am a lazy faggot with nothing better to do. However, I have no idea how this tumblr dealie works and can only really post scans of drawings which are all just lazy sketches. I did kind of want to do that question about Top hats though.

Here's an example of how shitty I am.

>>58733
That drawing's good and there's been other stuff that was scanned in, you should be fine. Submit away. If tumblr dicks you around like it did with that other guy then just put it here and it'll get put up.

Pone should hold more things in their mouths.

>>58738
>Pone should hold more things in their mouths.

Yes, I agreement.

Thanks for the advice, so I just draw a thing and then send it through the tumlbr answer link at the top? Any editing or something involved? I guess I'll start working on a submission now regardless. Though I also feel I have to add I am painfully slow/lazy so it might take awhile for me to actually get something done.

>>58764
>Any editing or something involved?
Just look at what everyone else does and you should be fine. Draw something and slap the question on top. Then click "Want to submit an answer to a question?" on the blog.

If you've got a dA/tumblr/whatever you want to whore out you can put that in the caption.

>>58770
Yo, just finished up the question answer but I'm kind of computer illiterate so I don't really know how to add the question to the top. Requesting assistance, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. I tried paint, but the picture is too big for me to manage.

The question is that one about Top hats.

>>58830
Err, never mind. Anon on MLPG helped me out. Submitted.

>>58838
Taken care of, thanks for the submission.

can I draw a request or two?

YO KRABB, UPDATE THE LIST OF QUESTIONS

>>58882
>DRAWFAG drawing for Ponyville Replies
Aw shit son, we in the big leagues now.

>>58893
The list is current at the moment.

Sweet, the questions were updated.

Would now be a good time to ask what proper artist etiquette is, since I'm interested enough to potentially contribute?
