Category:Chattering Teeth

"Chattering Teeth" is the term used to refer to the ask portions of the Apocalyponies story. Readers may interact with characters in the Apocalyponies universe during these segments, unlike during the Wasteland Hoofprints segments. This page changes every time there is a Wasteland Hoofprints section, but may also change during events of the Chattering Teeth itself.

In-Universe Dynamic
Those who ask questions through the blog are acknowledged as doing so in-universe. Those known collectively as The Static are the first to receive messages in any form. Questions asked to the blog are verbal and relayed to the characters through sound and rarely images, not text. Physical contact cannot normally be made through questions due to the way in which they are transferred.

In the Emptiness
Messages from The Outside sent to the Emptiness come out of the many scattered portals in the darkness. These messages are understood by the trio of Errors, who have the ability to see and understand what they see in portals. However, they do not seem to be able to physically interact with those they see and hear from the portals.

In Equestria
It is currently unknown how messages from The Outside are transmitted to those who currently live in Equestria.

Asking Questions
All readers can interact with the characters of the story through the ask process, regardless of whether or not they have a tumblr account. While anyone can get to this page by simply inputting "/ask" at the end of the url, it's good to check what characters can currently be addressed to avoid confusion and to make certain that your ask is successfully understood.

To guarantee that your question is successfully sent and is able to be answered, follow these steps: If everything is correct on tumblr's end - and sometimes it's not, tumblr is notorious for 'eating asks,' where it deletes sent messages - your question has been submitted.
 * 1) Go to the home page of Apocalyponies. Either click on the "ask" button on the sidebar, or at the top.
 * 2) This will bring you to the "/static" page, where you can view what characters are available to converse with. Typically they are displayed in a 'badge' format, but there may also be text with additional information (such as, "And the rest of the Broken Bits.") Once you know who you wish to direct your question to, scroll down and click 'CONTINUE?'
 * 3) This will bring you to the "/ask" page itself. If you have an account that you are logged into, your username will be listed at the bottom left, and on the right there will be a check box with the text "Ask Anonymously." If you do not have an account or are logged out, you will only be able to ask questions anonymously. All that's left to do is enter your message and click "Ask."
