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.

I helped spork Naruto Chaos Mage. That was awful.
And now Pannic and I are helping spork Partially Kissed Hero which is really dumb, boring and stupid.
Of course, Pannic has his "Panic Read's Stuff he Hates" liveblog which is fun and I have to agree on Romance Reports.
It wouldn't be nearly as notable or have as much influence as it does if it were released today, but it would probably be considered a decent to good epic length fanfiction. At any rate, I think the spinoffs surpass the original in quality, so I'm more of a fan of it's expanded universe than the inicial work itself.
As for 30H, it's a rare crack fic that strikes a balance between insane ramblings and absurdly cool that manages to confound me every time.

Seriously, Thirty Hs is probably one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. It manages to be utterly insane while still having a sort of consistent tone that a lot of other crackfics eschew in favor of
@Steve: I'm not saying it's bad, just that if it was released now it probably wouldn't have the same sort of "this work is on of the pinnacles of the fandom!" type of response that it often gets. There are too many other stories of comparable scope and quality.
Reaction Image RepositoryI don't normally read bad fanfics, so the worst MLP fanfic I can think of that I've read was The Vinyl Scratch Tapes. Though Article2 was annoying enough that I gave up after four chapters, which is odd since it's highly recommended.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayWell not as large and well known. Mines Of Dragon Mountain is right up their in being as amazing as FOE to me.
How was that bad? That thing was great.

CUPCAKES WAS FUN TO READ. Especially the parts with Pinkie's Gallows Humor involving Dashie's body parts. Tears went down my face from laughing so hard.
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qI guess the comedy just didin't appeal as much to me. Especially the second half, which was basically juust attacking Blueblood for no reason.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play@Star. TVST started as a script fic, and later got an ongoing audio adaptation. For my bits, it works better as a mock broadcast as the asides between dialogue just get distracting.
Speaking of, I can't imagine why the Pony POV series ever got an adaptation. I've read season 0 and the first few stories of season 1 and it's pretty bad. maybe it gets better later on.

With incredible mother issues.
Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.(grabs a David Tennant cardboard cutout) I love you, David! Say Allons-y! (smacks it in crouch) Say the word! Say the allons-y word!
https://youtu.be/_1F5HhUvFbM?si=csgwerqELcG6615qWhat did I stumble into?
I may as well leave a small pic dump fer ya all.
- Luna, yer outta the swing of things.
- Two pie victims.
- Another batty end? (Spoilers!)
- AJ? What's wrong?
- Batty AJ. (Not sure if spoilerish, but might as well warn it spoilers.)
- Chrysalis loves her mirror.
- Fluttershy looks forward.
- One confused manticore!
- What happened to the muffins?
- Beach episode!
- Battyshy (Spoilers!)
- Raribat (Probable spoilers!)
- A silly flutterbat (Spoilers!)
Apologies that I found a lot that had to be spoilered. I'll aim to find more unspoiled pictures next time. (Hopefully plenty of Trixie pictures, not that NES x Trixie will be a ship.)

I dunno, FOE does have some good concepts to it that would probably stand if it was released today. I mean, sure it suffers from a lot of issues, but there's enough good bits to make it a decent read.
Also a note to skype chat: I'm on hiatus while I get my comp fixed, be back soon.
