This is the fourth story in my first MLP fanfiction series, written and recorded in 2002, aged eleven.

It's pretty hilarious, I didn't have a clue what I was doing, my common accent makes me cringe, my singing was appalling (and yet I insisted on singing regularly, often acapella!), and yet somehow all of these things make it kind of charming in its way.  Well, for me anyway, but I suppose I have a dollop of nostalgia in my mind which makes it more interesting!

The My Little Pony Magic Series follows the story of the evil Black Pony of Darkness who apparently wants to take over Ponyland.  Having said that, he seems to have a very strange way of going about it, picking on specific ponies who are not at all important in the scheme of things.  (But just happened to be my favourite childhood ponies, of course!)

Lanceriffic is the first in a set of three stories about the My Little Pony Tales character, Lancer (who else?)  While still very primitive, I feel this story is the first one to start to introduce a bit of interest and character to my series.  It was the first one which really had a proper plot anyway.  Well, a bit of a plot.  I'm still not sure what the Black Pony's motives were.  He told the ponies when he would come to Ponyland, forcing them to leave...but most of the ponies didn't believe him and continued their day to day lives regardless.  Meanwhile, the Black Pony just sat patiently and waited for them to go, ready to claim Ponyland when they finally got out of the way.  And yet he did nothing to hurry them up?  Yes, it's all a bit strange.

This is also the first story to deal with the death of a main character.  Not originally planned as part of the story, but sadly somebody passed away in my real life less than a week before I started recording this tape, which caused me to change the story a little.  I won't say any more than that in case anybody really is listening to these and doesn't want a spoiler!

One thing I should note is that I was very young and would sometimes make references to real people in the pony community at the time.   Bear in mind that I didn't know any of these people (I didn't even have a computer at the time but would go to the internet cafe and read about them) so none of my comments are personal!  No offence intended to anyone, if you got named it was because you were "famous" in my childhood mind!  There's nothing malicious in any of the stories but obviously if people have issues with anything I've uploaded, let me know and I will remove them.

And with that, I will leave you all to have a giggle!
