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 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!

Just sort of appears to be how they are. Long ago, when the pyramids were still young, the three types of ponies mostly stayed within tribes of each species. Nowadays... well, they mingle more.

Well RD has made little whirlwinds before, but nothing self sustaining like a tornado. That requires a great deal more effort.

Thanks for the support guys. I knew it would happen anyways, though. Tearing off vital wires and trying to escape the hospital is not good for a 65 year old stroke-victim's health.

But anyways, I've been wondering, what's the next episode?

The going theory about the tribes is basically "Fausticorn did it". tongue

He was too strong for his own good, even after copious amounts of anesthetic he still could pick himself up for a bit to argue with some people.

Also, I could go for some Pinkie Apple Pie right about now. smile

I once read that this fandom is the 2nd largest fandom ever, supposed only by Minecraft.

True?

@smasher: i knew we were huge, but i don't know if we're that huge. that would mean that we've beaten other fandoms that have been around for decades now.

Minecraft? MINECRAFT?

I've seen this fandom compared to Touhou and Homestuck. Didn't even know Minecraft had a big fandom.

Touhou's not a bad comparison, I think.

Nah, nowhere near that big. Doctor Who massively, massively outstrips us as an example.

We're basically a younger Touhou fandom.

And on that note...

Speaking of Touhou, at least extremely tangentially, the lack of Fi M games outside of that iOS thing and he CCG baffles me.

Although Touhou is a special type of crazy where the fandom is entirely self-perpetuating. There's a little bit of that with Ponies, but it's not to the extent of Touhou, where a large percentage of the fans have never played the original games.

I played one Touhou game, the 8th one if I remember correctly. Finished like 3 levels, I think.

@dark: Doctor Who has been running for 50 years. they outstrip everybody. although, fandoms do have more than a passing tendency to overlap (i can think of at least 10 other fandoms i'm a part of, not counting this one).

What would one consider the Top 10 fandoms, population-wise?

Honestly, I think it depends on how you're counting. In terms of number of fans, we're definitely outstripped by the likes of Doctor Who and Star Wars. But in terms of fan created content, well, you're a lot more likely to find MLP art on the front page of Deviantart than you are either of them. And while the Harry Potter fandom may be big for fanfiction, they didn't get big enough to warrant an entire seperate website to host their stories.

Touhou still blows us out of the water even if you're counting that way though.

Edit: Oh wait, Harry Potter does have a seperate fanfic site, and it's bigger than fimfic, but not by all that much.

There's also the fact that HP's been around for a good 12 years, so it's had time to grow. By contrast, the cult pony fandom was around for more than 20 years and there's undr a few hundred fics for anything non Fi M.
