A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

So, how do you think that Daring Don't will relate to the season-wide plot.

They might look into Daring Do books for inspiration on how to find the keys?

With the Applejack book revolving around her journal, Pinkie's her family, and Rainbow about Daring Do, I suspect the books are directly tieing into season 4.

It's 7:30 PM. It's below freezing outside.

And dad is coming home from work, late, and wants me to learn how to check the antifreeze in the car.

BULLSHIT.

The short novels written by G M Berrow as part of the expanded universe. Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spel, Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Pony Paloosa Party, the Equestria Girls adaptation, Rainbow Dash and the Daring Do Double Dare, Applejack and the honest to Goodness Switcheroo, and Rarity and the Curious Case of Charity.

Aside from the first book with Trixie and Gilda showing up, the books have been compliant thus far. Notable because Pinkie's book goes so far as to give her family names and we know one of her sisters is showing up in the season, so we'll find out one way or another if there's anything canonical about them.

Short novels? You mean like those picture books you see in the kids section?

A bit lengthier, they run to 15000 words, aside from Equestria Girls which was 28000.

[down] Those are the official names given in the book.

And Now For Something Completely Different: Why are Pinkie Pie's sisters called Marble and Limestone Pie now. I thought the general consensus was Inky and Blinky Pie.

From the sound of it, the novel writers were given some advance notice of where the show was going but not complete details. Like they new about the alicornation in advance.

I would imagine they couldn't use Inky and Blinky because they are Characters from Pac Man and they didn't want to start a legal fight with Namco.

Either that or they just didn't care about the fannames. They don't actually use fannames that often, only the really notable ones.

[up][up] But they are only named in fanworks, and since when do fanwork creators care about lawsuits?
