Ok I'm curious, what do you tell people irl when they ask how you and your wife met?

“Online.” lol. At least when strangers ask!

All of my close friends do know about my art in some way or another, tho. So it wasn’t an issue telling them. For friends who are less close or for family we just tell them we met because we were both in the same fandom, most of the time we also say it’s because of ponies, just no details, haha. Our wedding also had some subtle pony references (Appledash cake topper, our friend who was the officiant made some references in his speech, each table was the colors of one of the mane six, etc).

So yeh, in general people know we met because we’re both into art or ponies and that’s how we started talking on Skype and then met up in real life for the first time at a convention in New York! (Bronycon ‘12)

Oh and that reminds me of something! One of my wife’s friends apparently was aware of my blog, so after we started dating and it turned serious and she told her friend about me, the friend was all like “wait a second, are you talking about Rat?” The world is small.
