"the 50 Most Beautiful Ponies" from Tickle
|
The 50 Most Beautiful Ponies is online My Little Pony interactive fanfiction. For me, 50MBP is about photography, characters, and interaction with the rest of the MLP Community. 50MBP started in 1997, and while no Contest has yet come full circle, we've had many individual rounds of fun. ::grins:: Make sure to check out the "Finalist Central" section, if you only look at one thing. This can be found by clicking the "F" [Finalist] in the hex-navigation, and then the white, or "patron," star that appears.
::steps onto a limb, precariously:: I think the most recent verison of the Contest [the one you see now] has a unique layout, a much higher quality of writing than my previous works, and the same photography that people seem to enjoy. I have created two versions of the site: one to be viewed with monitors set to 1024 and one in 800. This makes it possible for everyone to view an uncompromised version of the site design. I am so proud of this site, you don't even know. ::wink:: Vote for me or Steamer will cry.

"Candy Apple Ponyshop" from RenaissanceGirl

This little doodad is what encouraged me to think about designing as a professional career. It was a lot of fun to make... unfortunately, I don't have much time to devote to it nowadays since I'm taking my art much more seriously now and devoting my site mostly to my portfolio.

"CloverFlower Fields" from Lady Minty
|
CloverFlower Fields is my own absent-minded little corner of Ponyland. Now showing the benefits of its fifth major redesign, it is neatly organized into four related subsections and has been tested to be compatible with different browsers. It looks best in 800x600 but can be accessed at other screen settings, as well. Graphics, text, photos...everything is my own work unless it has been otherwise noted. Its most popular features include the Fakie Tours (my collection of fakies is beginning to rival my MLP herd), the travels of Little Hyper, and TJ's shrine. However, I urge first-time visitors to poke around for a while, get a sense of how the site works, and see what they can find.

"Lofty's Bedlam .:Sacred.Order.of.the.Circle:." from Mecca
|
I worked on this page for it to be different than all other MLP pages out there (as I normally do ;) ). This page tells the story, and in part is also an analysis of an underground society of Ponyland called the Order of the Circle. Its members are marked by tribal-like tattoos, and as I've been working to move the site from the recently-crashed envy.nu, not all the graphics of the memebrs are up, but I'm trying to remedy that as soon as I can! This is an alternative, a peek into the darker side of the rainbow.

"MLP Ordeal" from Rebecca Wetzel
|
The site theme of the pony symbols is old, from 2001, but I've always liked it. So, being the creature of habit that I am, I have kept it since then. My favorite parts of my site are the graphics which surprises people. Although I recognize that they are pretty poor compared to my artistically endowed pony-site neighbors, I'm quite proud of them as I can't draw my way out of a paper bag. If you really study my graphics, you'll be able to see how I made them all using the basic shape elements (line, circle, square) with my graphics program. My site is living proof that even the least graphically-inclined among us can be creative with a little elbow-grease and determination.
The playset guide is one of the original features of my site. I started it back in 1999 when I was frustrated by trying to figure out what pieces I needed to complete my Waterfall playset. At this time, the only site that had any type of playset information was "Dream Valley" and even that information was often just of scanned brochure pictures. The playset accessory guide and the information therein was forged from my own research while assembling my personal sets.

"MLP Worldwide" from RenaissanceGirl

The site serves one function: to bring collectors together! It gives visitors the opportunity to check for collectors in their area and possibly hook up!

"On Fluttering Wings" from Moon Bug
|
The home page for my main posting character, Moon Bug, utilizing the colors of my character as the basis for the site. I limit extreme graphics for the sake of some visitors' slower connections, and attempt to keep all graphics under 20K in size. The main purposes of the site are: to allow people to learn about me, to instruct visitors on how to enter my contests, and to provide them with a place to learn about and order my customs.

"Ponies In The Mist" from Milky Way
|
It's my pony site. Though smaller than some, I've worked hard to make it that little bit different, and to grow it further than the regular "want, trade, sell, take a look at my collection" to make it reflect my feelings about ponies and myself.
I have more ideas for this site than I'll ever have time to follow through, but it's very special to me.
Areas I'm particularly proud of are:
- Pony Widower
- The PTC and POOP pages
- MLP Through History
- The flutter wing tutorial
But there's so much more that I want to do with this site. For example, this is version 2, and I'm working on a version 3 at the moment. And the schoolhouse section is set to expand. Once I get a minute. And there is some fanfic in the pipeline which I hope will make people laugh, if they're not too shocked...
If I could, I'd spend all day, every day, working on this site. But sadly, The Man says I have to have a job, a life, etc....

"Pony Playpen" from Vamppire
|
This is my My Little Pony website, the Pony Playpen. I wanted a unique theme to my site, so I edited backcard pictures of newborns to create newborn-versions of the popular original ponies (Applejack, Peachy, Blossom, etc). They are the hostesses of my site, and hence why it is called the Playpen. :) My site features an easy-to-navigate layout, which will take you to my Blinkie Tutorial, Customs Gallery and Tutorial, Album Pictures, Web Art, and more. It is periodically updated with a new section or new pictures (particularly on he homepage).

"StarlightValley.com" from Pinwheel
|
This site features my work in graphics, customs, and blinkies. I also use this page to show off the highlights of my collection, as I love photography. I do a lot of restoring, so you can find a pony care section in there, as well as a few other unique sections.
