A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Maybe? I recall it being really popular for some reason, then, like most ask blogs, it being abandoned within a relatively short time frame. I'm a bit fuzzy on this, but I think it ran for a few months with relatively frequent updates and then just stopped dead one day. It's old enough that it may have since been deleted.
I can't check it, but just based on the URL, I don't think it is. It was something blandly straightforward like askpinkamina or ask-pinkamina-diane-pie.

It meets all the conditions! It's "long since been completed", dark, has alternate character interpretations, and fits the timeframe in which a person would go after it. In addition, the blog had over 500 followers before it ended (as well as over 5000 messages), fitting the popular aspect of it too! Plus, the posts could definitely feel pretentious.
Regardless of whether or not it really is the work, I'm out of time to continue searching for it. Though this one fits the best so far.

"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-MaeThe tone of it sounds a bit like Ginger, or one of our non-english speakers - the polish fellow who's name I can't recall, maybe. Death's Apprentice, or Dark Abomination or some such.
Ginger, as I recall, loathed FOE, but in typical Ginger fashion he absorbed the whole thing regardless. I don't think the Polish fellow had any particular hangups, but he did tend to form strong opinions. Albeit not 'you're shit for liking this' strong.
I sort of hope it isn't FOE-related, if only because insulting FOE is like Bloody Mary for Seraphim. The troper, not the actual angel.

If it was Deaths Apprentice or whatever his name was, there'd be a lot more mispelled words.

Also I remember that Deaths Apprentice did like FOE. He just really didn't like the flashback stuff involving the canon characters.

Did he? Huh, I suppose I was misremembering.

Drat. Well, that explains why I knew their names then at least, heh.
Too many deaths and darks. IS it too much to ask for an Umber Curiosity, or a Charonic Journeyman?
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.So I just found out something that pissed me off: You all know the situation with Hasbro and Jan Animation, right? Well apparently Jan Animation is pretty much forbidden from ever making any more pony animation or art, and the whole "We're talking it over thing" was just Hasbro screwing with him for a year. I mean wow, what a bunch of assholes. It's one thing to send someone a Cease and Desist. But to get their hopes up for such a long time like that is a dick move. At least now I know for sure I'm never buying stuff they make ever again.
NEW SMASH CHARACTER! I AM HYPE INCARNATE RIGHT NOW.
I swear to Fausticorn, todays direct was worth the wait.

I figured Deaths Apprentice was probably wrong, but I couldn't remember the actual name. At least I was half right. I did remember that he had an undead pony as avatar for a long time.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI just realized how similar Aria and Starlight's colors are, as I thought for a second that this was a Twilight/Starlight pic. https://derpiboo.ru/1021342?scope=scpe0e260d6b63f5d9dd857dc18a90e394c832dece9f
It's weird seeing non Nintendo characters, but they already went there with Snake and Sonic.
Of course, all the big sword wielders always blurred together for me anyway. I could never keep Marth, Ike, and Roy straight.
At least Cloud has a much bigger sword and a different attack style due to being from a different series.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI feel like there's a piece of the story missing here. I seriously doubt they were screwing around with him because that just makes no sense from a business perspective. Why commit money and resources to trolling some fan animator with a lame series? There's just no gain in it for them. In fact, it's the opposite of gain: a complete waste.
It's more likely that they came to the table with a very stringent amount of leeway and in the end, it turned out to be impossible to compromise.

That is an issue. Though "completed" could fit in a sense. But I'm not entirely sure about it, I'll continue searching.
Anyway, in reply to your earlier post, the reason I say late 2011 is because, at that point, it would still be relevant enough to bother perusing, but late enough to say "long since been finished."
This is supported by the fact that, just like the thread, the brony fandom in general blew up at spring 2012, meaning much less fanwork to come before then.
edit: This might be it.
It fits in the timeline, is dark, has alternative character interpretation, and fits the terms "saw" and "fanwork". Though not really the term "long since completed".
