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.

@Syd: I think it's because of the way it got hyped up as being so extremely crazy and disjointed, that it surprised me because there were only a few parts where plot points got left behind. Also, because of the way it was talked about, I assumed that it would have many more grammar and spelling mistakes than it turned out to have. And maybe I just have a high tolerance for weirdness in fiction, too. The invading octopus ponies were defeated by the power of love, which fits within in the general series anyway, and the pendant Octavia had turned out to be important for defeating the invaders, so that got used too. About the only things that were forgotten was the part about the trains being on a explosion crash course and maybe Octavia getting her memory back. I thought it reminded me of Puni Puni Poemi not only because that's also a show that gets hyped as being "super crazy" and "has no plot" when it actually does have a plot, but Puni Puni Poemi also involves aliens with tentacles invading and they are defeated by the power of love between two female characters.

@Dark: I can't help but imagine that old Witch Doctor song
or perhaps the Voodoo Lady from Monkey Island.
I get the idea that if we did that, their personality is going to end up being widely inconsistent. Perfect.
@Luminosity: Some ideas I thought of for toyline-only ponies: Maybe someone like Cupcake (she could discover the fanfic called Cupcakes) or Lily Blossom, who looks kind of similar to Derpy and could be Derpy's relative who is Derpy's opposite because the backcards describe her as being graceful. Cherry Pie (pink unicorn with a yellow mane and a cherry pie cutie mark) could be a relative of Pinkie's. And those are just ideas that would tie them to canon characters or to infamous fanfics.
@Japanese Teeth: That's one reason I thought using toyline-only ponies would be a fun idea for a fanfic of that nature.

Sounds like a plan. Although we should probably figure out what to do with the current one before we start on anything.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!If anyone here is thinking of getting that odd pony dating sim that's been getting news lately, hold on to your money because it may be a scam.
I just learned over at KYM that there's some evidence showing that the "creators" of the sim might actually just be a couple of comedians who want to rob bronies of money. Also, the screenshots might also just be photoshoped images, but that I don't really know.
Just saying, be careful out there.
Yeah, I wouldn't put money into it in any case because 1. I don't really care about dating sims 2. that's kind of a copyright violation.

Yeah, she's sort of a split between a witch doctor/shaman and an apothecary.
