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.

     Original OP text 
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!

I figured out the problem. Turns out they fixed the spacing by just deleting the old status and adding the corrected version.

Is it bad that my reaction was 'wow, ponies have weird shaped hearts'?

I'd say this: You work with what you have: content and all. And since tthe blog is for fun and to help me motivate my continuation to art, I see no reason why it has to be "good" like the show itself.

In other words: I give 0 bucks.

This attitude towards your art will get your tumblr lots and lots of followers.

Also, "Relationship Status"? Please just be a Valentine's Day thing.

@King Kix, definitely the art style. I have been having a mental debate with myself becuase I so desperately want to be a dick about what I say about it but I also don't want to be a harmful douchebag to someone learning to draw. I don't care about the content, the content of what you draw is your own business.

Actually, it kind of is a good attitude to have, at least starting up.

Being concerned about ow your art looks is definitely a good motivation to improve, but if you take it too far it's also a good way to develop pretty severe neuroses about it and to wind up never showing it to anybody - you could be the best artist in the world and not know it because you've never been brave enough to show your art to anyone.

As long as he knows he needs to improve and tries to, putting his art out there is a good step. It helps acclimate you to criticism, especially if you start at an early stage, and having something consistent to work for makes doing stuff, and therefore getting better, easier to do.

That said being obstinate or defensive about the quality might not make him any friends, but I don't think that was his intention there.

I need to hop in the shower, then get to the market. There's a big storm coming. It's already snowing lightly.

I can tell that that post is about CRISIS Equestria. I'm guessing that Seraphem made it.

It's an interesting concept, but I dislike the execution. Being hosted on something as outdated as DA for fics doesn't help any.

It's on Deviant Art? I didn't know they hosted fanfics. Back when I read it two years ago, it was just on Google Docs.

Yeah, DA has a section for fanfics. But there is no sense in using that anymore.

@Kegisak: That's true up to a point, but when you're getting into a creative field with the intent of making a career out of it, you kinda have to do everything assuming that people are going to look at it. Not necessarily that you're deliberately pandering to others in terms of style or content, but that not caring about anybody's response but your own, when taken to a logical extreme, means you're going to brush over flaws that might not bug you, but will annoy other people. Pretty much every terrible fanfic that isn't Troll Fic is written with the mindset of "I'm going to write with a style and quality that I want without taking others into account".

That said, you don't want to go too far in the other direction either, but there's still a big difference between "writing/drawing exclusively what people want you to" and "writing with the knowledge that others are going to be looking at the product". In short you want to give only a few bucks at the start.

Wait. What are you talking about? CRISIS Equestria isn't hosted on Deviant Art.

You sure, I could have sworn about 6 months ago I found about a dozen chapters there.
