Would You Guys Like an EQD (DIGITAL) Magazine?

Someone going by the name of Hybrid Rain is offering to do a magazine for us, similiar to the Screw Attack one from a while back.  He wants to hear your feedback on it though!

His initial demo of what it would look like can be found here.

This would be a monthly update, spotlighting some of the more popular things on the blog (Yah, I know it already filters and spotlights things, but this would do it further I guess!)

I'm defenitly liking what I see, but he wants your two cents, so hit up the links below or drop something in the comments to give some feedback on it!


Note: This would be a digital magazine! Not a print one.

That would be interesting, go for it.

wackyteen said...

only if you print it and send me a copy, free of charge cause i'd be too po to afford shipping.

BlackStar03 said...

that..that would be fine :)

Bombedrumbum said...

Hmmm......it actually looks like it's pretty good. I'd read it!

Milienius said...

Sounds like a great idea!

wackyteen said...

and obviously i'm being facetious. Of course i'd like this.

DcmRulz said...

Shall it be called Equestria Monthly? oh, and I support this idea.

Sethbeastalan said...

This would be really nice. I would read it.

Tr4fficLights said...

I would definitely read it, I say go for it

cursormortis said...

If it's just going to rehash stuff from the blog, I can do without. However, if it's going to have additional (exclusive?) stuff, then go for it.

armando92 said...

i will like one in pdf, since i live in south america :D

baschotaria said...

Would this be a physical thing? I think if it were that, I'd be game for it. It could be an excellent tool for delivering things outside of the internet.

I'm definitely liking the idea though!

~Baschfire

Flutterfan said...

No, because I don't see how this would be better than the website.

If it was a anthology of just the comics I'd be interested though.

Celestia said...

I don't see the point really but nothing could be lost from doing it either.

BND said...

Sounds like a good idea to me. :D

Travis Smith said...

In the words of Van Halen
"Oh Ya!"

mrmantacos said...

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes... If... you don't... mind... THE PARTY! 3 pony combination, get ON OUR ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE'S LEVEL OF LOVE FOR THIS IDEA!

AJTheEngineer said...

I'd read it for sure. There is nothing like seeing my friends's as well as my work posted on this website, but to see it on paper, that is a whole different level.

TheIdlingRev said...

It would be cool, though I personally wouldn't read it

Sunbell said...

yo dawg, I heard like ponies!

Arnactor said...

That would be the BEST. THING. EVER.
But if it's a physical thing, it would probably be illegal lest you contact Hasbro, so maybe a weekly PDF thing would be cool!

Sunbell said...

Yay! We are everywhere!

Prime 2.0 said...

Eh, I don't see much point; EqD gets stuff in so fast, what would a magazine-like format add to it? And then there's the possibility of quality concerns(I admit that I think of this primarily because of the comparison to the horrible screwattack magazine, but looking at some of the grammar/spelling in the sample...)

But even if executed well, I doubt I'd read it, being how superfluous it would be. The only chance for it would be exclusive content and articles, and that begs the question of why not to have what would be purposed as such on EqD proper to begin with?

DRTJR said...

EQM, Have some of the members of the community do articals on Pony related stuff, I'm Game.

Dubs Rewatcher said...

I don't really see the point, but you could go for it if you want

HeroInferno said...

As long as you don't make the articles like the one from that issue of screwattack, I'm game.

Sunbell said...

As i said, We are everywhere!

Drwhooves said...

That would be awsome

Fuzzy Missile said...

i do like the art mixed with information aspect, like the picture of that tan-ish pony and the old Canterlot mural would be an epic example of fan-fic artwork with a link to the actual fan-fic all in one place.

Sunbell said...

What is a girl brony called?

Aranarth said...

Sounds like a plan.

ElectraBoltage said...

That would be... nice.
(aka. GO FOR IT!!!)

Sunbell said...

What is a girl brony called! i really want to know!

Crunch said...

Looks like it would be well-made, but I don't really see any value added here. It's just rehashing stuff that's already filtered through the blog. As people have said, if it has exclusive/unique content, then go for it. However, if it is just collecting stuff that appears on EQD, then I don't think it's worth the effort.

Cameron Strathdee said...

Depends. If it was just EQD: The Magazine, then no.

If it was a compilation of fics (Some longfics, some oneshots) and comics, then I can answer in the form of Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs
(YES! YES!)

N. said...

yesyesyesyesyesyes

Torchman said...

Looks to me like it's going to be some kind of monthly roundup thing. I'm in!

Select Few said...

YES! YES! I AGREE WITH THIS IDEA!

Atiarotias said...

With the speed of fans making everything (not to forget PMVs and musics that can't get into prints..) magazines would be a little slow in my opinion? Ofcourse it would be nice to read though.

joetraincool said...

Sounds like a great idea. Not really sure I see the point, but for those who don't know about EqD, in a physical version, it could be used as propoganda. I say go for it.

@Sunbell

Female bronies are still bronies. It's gender nuetral.

Sunbell said...

Well, I think its a good idea..... but, hey, what ever floats your boat

DrahcirAloer said...

I would read it. A monthly summary of the top things would be a wonderful idea. As well as brony letters and other things it could be a real interesting experience. I am looking forward to it. And Seth, if you are reading the comments, make a poll on it so he can get an exact ratio of want:don't want:don't care. My guess is a 4:1:2 ratio.

D. Shadows said...

Only if this blog continues to exist, will I say yes to this.

Also the magazine will have to bring something completely new to the table to be worthwhile.

Roman500 said...

Sounds like a splendid idea.

Cameron Strathdee said...

Addendum: Also, some drawfriend stuff thrown in. John Joseco's humanized Luna comes to mind. I'm thinking sort of an EQD: Monthly Features thing.

Renegade Of Funk said...

yeah go ahead we'll get a little more of a serious view but at least its okay

Mac3030 said...

Oh yeah, I can dig it

jonameepsman546 said...

looked thru it and hellz to the ya it wud be awesome

Fuzzy Missile said...

@Sunbell
brony, it's a sex neutral term.

Travis Smith said...

@ Sunbell
Technically you can call female fans of the show brownies as well, there is another word but I forget.
Any help?

Ikusa GT said...

I'm going to say no respectfully we already have the blog I don't see a need for a magazine.

Sunbell said...

YAY! MORE PONIES!!!!!!!!

Captain British said...

YES YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

(As long as you can send it to the UK.)

Sunbell said...

@Travis Smith, thank. I am way less confused now!

RaccoonBL said...

It would be a better way to see all the cool stuff that has happened during the month with less searching so I like this idea. :)

TheGag96 said...

No. Pony happens 24/7. You can't fit it into a static magazine like that. It just wouldn't work.

Adrian Brony said...

I';m thinking it would be a good place for more in-depth articles and editorials. news and fan works shifts too rapidly for a monthly magazine to handle, but if it were reserved for larger projects like, say, interesting analysis of the month's episode's themes or trends in the community, it could be great. sort of a thing for more in-depth articles that would normally be drowned in the sea of other stuff in the website.

Travis Smith said...

On second thought, maybe not. I don't get much time online these days with school and stuff, and it would just recap stuff on here. So doesn't really matter to me

Ikusa GT said...

@Sunbell The Terms , Pegasister,Filly and Brony have been thrown around for female fans

Autumn Oak said...

Oh Hell Yes!!
One step more to the Evolution in pony communication.

The next step... a Brony 100% related t.v. show.

VegasSubie said...

That would be amazing, but would it be print?

David said...

Seth, if you would be willing to post future updates on EQD to help me keep up and catch recent issues, definitely! I'd definitely love to read and support it.

I see a possible tie-in with WeLoveFine if the magazine gets enough readers. If actual tangible business with merchandising gains enough momentum to warrant a sponsorship deal, it greatly empowers the Brony community as we become yet another legitimate economic influence that will get others' attention and spread the good word of Pony.

ZeroCereal said...

Want, wantwant, wantwantwant, want.

Make this, and I'll keep working on a time machine so I won't have to wait for it.

purpletrauma said...

I'm all for it.

For a regular of EqD the content may be redundant, but it seems like a good way to summarize content further for those who want to spend less time trying to keep up with the blog.. or don't have time to keep up with the blog.

Sunbell said...

What is the magazines angle, because if its something rude to us, then I think that they shouldn't. But if its putting us in a good light, I am all for it! :D

Mojo said...

sounds pointless to me.

ZigZag said...

DO IT FILLY.

If this is done, and someone prints out an issue and puts it on a local coffee table, I will give them all of my internet money.

Floof Cat said...

One reason I don't bother with magazines, whether print or online, is by the time they come out, they're already behind the information you cold get from websites. A pony magazine would be rendered useless by visits to Equestrian Daily and following people on deviantART.

My vote is no. Don't put energy into something redundant.

Tritone said...

Amazing idea, but... On the financial on side, I don't really think it would be sustainable. We bronies are a very international community.

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

Hmmm... I'm voting no.

Don't get me wrong, the magazine format is very pretty. I'm sure it would be done well. However, my interest is in the Equestria Daily site.

You see, the magazine and the Daily are going to split the audience. With the magazine's format, people will no longer have to check EQ Daily every day for their pony needs. They can just check once a month and catch the "highlights". That means less daily traffic for the Daily, and less traffic means less ad revenue, and less ad revenue makes blog ponies sad.

Just putting in "highlights" means that some artists and writers would be cut out. This would be a huge setback for the community in general, as artists are what run this site. Streamlining content any further then it already is would have a negative effect on the art community, perhaps even driving away artists that wouldn't make it on the magazine.

The third issue is timeliness. This magazine prints only once a month, and our community has events almost every day. Look at the nightly news, there is almost always something going on, and usually in the next week or two. A monthly magazine can't cover stories like that.

All in all, the current blog format of the Daily is the perfect medium to handle pony news. Magazines are just not timely enough to compete, and having one would just split the readership. It's a good idea with good intentions, but the reality is that it would do more harm then good.

And if you want credentials to back up this opinion, I am an Associate of Science with a degree in Mass Communications. I'm no expert, but I'm certainly no schlub when it comes to matters of media.

Octavia said...

Eh, I dunno. I've got some strong reservations about it in all honesty, but I won't get into specifics here on that. But if you want to give it a go it could be good.

Sunbell said...

Okay! yay, pegasister!

FlutterDash said...

A pony magazine... I love the world so much right now.

Ogopogo said...

While many people show reservations, I would welcome such a magazine. Pictures especially wound benefit from the print due to the resolution limit of our monitors.

Grez said...

Hmm... How does 'Hell fucking yes' sound?

RyuSpike said...

If this is going to be a monthly magazine then will that make it "Equestria Monthly" rather than "Equestria Daily: The Magazine"?

keneticpest said...

One word and three punctuation marks, not counting the comma or this colon:
YES!!!

statoose said...

Hate to be the Neighsayer, but I think I'm good with what he have now. Just my opinion, though.

VooDooZecora said...

thought about this... and... TAKE MY MONEY

Sunbell said...

@Grez
I do not know you, but you have my respect!

cursormortis said...

@Dr. Henry Killinger
Personally, I think if the magazine can get some exclusive stuff (e.g., fanfics, comics, or interviews) or go into depth about some of the stuff EQD posts, it might be worth it. If it just tries carrying the same content, it will no doubt fail. But if the staff looks at it as a way to carry "better" content, then it might succeed.

I'm sure you know what you're talking about better than me, though. I got my bachelor's in Nothing Useful (aka history).

Xane Nightwing said...

I would seriously buy a subscription to this magazine. weird out all my friends in the process. like a baws

Flutterfan said...

Off topic but wet hair Rarity banner FTW!!

bookman said...

At first i was like, hhhhmm i don't think this is a good idea, but after seeing the example it looks really cool. The problem would be with the content it would seem. There isn't enough room to fit into a magazine if its based off the website which gets tons of stuff every day. The content would have to be of a different nature i feel.

Qsteel said...

eeeh nope.
I mean, we have enough already, if you want some change, then go see derpyhooves.com or something.

I really think this is taking it too far.

MedicShy said...

Now, while yes I'd like a magazine, I don't have the money for it, and I'd be checking the website every day anyway, so there would be nothing I don't see anyway... While it would be interesting, I don't see the point... Still, final call is your say!

Altercation said...

I guess I'd be... interested? As long as there's a decent editor behind the team and there's something to distinguish it from EqD or give it purpose. Otherwise, I don't see the harm.

MedicShy said...

of course, I'm assuming money is needed, cus, you know, printing aint cheap.

pauliewx said...

Nah. I prefer keeping EQD as a website.

Rrazz said...

I'd pay for it :D Sounds like a perfect idea!

Sunbell said...

hey, whatever floats your boat

GabuEx said...

Well I don't see why not; go for it, dude.

Although I do have to echo those who say it should have something extra above and beyond just the content that appeared on EqD, since otherwise it'd seem kind of... pointless, since we'll have seen everything already.

Sunbell said...

I LOVE it!♫♥♫♥♫♥♫♥

Ikusa GT said...

@Qsteel I'm against this as well but pray tell how is this taking it too far?

2pikachuno said...

i do not think that a magazine of EQD would feel the same as it does on the internet, most of us bronys enjoy online communities instead of written prints where we cannot comment on the articles and forums. the popularity of the ponies was thanks to internet chats, and i think it would be better if it stayed that way. because we all feel we can share what we think. and unlike EQD a magazine would print once a month or so, so we would not get recent news, and it would only be bout the big things of the pony community. it is a flattering offer but i do not think it should happen.

Stuff456789 said...

greatest thing of ALL TIME!!!!!!! IT MUST BE DONE!!!!!!!

The Lotus Tea Dragon said...

After trying out the demo of what it would be like, absolutely. I would be all in favor of one.

Elrond said...

I for one would read it, but it looks like hard work to make it :(

bionicdragon5 said...

Sounds good. Go for it!

FuNKaTRoNiC said...

All my bits. DO IT NOW.

Kytseo said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs

I think I'll let M.Bison answer this for me.

Sunbell said...

Going off topic, but does anyone know what a pegasister is?

Wierdplatformer said...

Interesting...

I'm not quite sure it would work, but, knowing this community, it might.

Present Perfect said...

I'm confused; is this going to be physical? If so, I'd be all for it, late rehash of the website or not.

If it's just reformatting everything in a pretty manner, well... I'd have to say, it's nice, but don't bother.

Qsteel said...

@Ikusa GT Okay maybe I shouldn't have used that word, heh.
But 2pikachuno (post right under yours) explains the same opinion I have perfectly.

Ford said...

Iono about subscribing to such a magazine (subscriptions in the mail aren't really my thing), but I would actually like to WORK for such a magazine!

Seriously. I need work.

chipuni said...

Has Hasbro been contacted about this?

They seem to be fine with people creating stuff for free, but I think they would have a problem with a for-sale magazine.

Ion Storm said...

I knew Hybrid from my years as a g1. He's a cool guy. Trustworthy.

Travis Smith said...

@Sunbell
My guess is a female fan who likes Pegasus.

DonSerrot said...

I think it'd be cool, redundant but cool. I say go for it! Maybe we could have some expanded articles and full episode reviews thrown in there. Oh! And when we have interviews the transcripts could be in there too!

Also cover #4 looked 20% more awesome than the others.

sleepingcobrox said...

Yes. Let's see this happen.

Although I would be willing to take part in this as a assistant in this project.

Have really enjoyed this demo that you have. I"ll understand if this project is only digital. How could this be in print anyway? Wouldn't Hasbro take action if that were to happen?

Please carry on with the project you're working on. Don't be afraid to contact me if you need any assistance. I'm sure @foalpapers would be excited about this...

Tanner G said...

No. It's unnecessary, redundant, and by the time I get the magazine, the news will be up on this website already. Also magazines don't come with music/multimedia, which to me is a very important part of EQD.

Bombedrumbum said...

@Sunbell the unofficial name for female bronies

mycutiemarkisagun said...

lol the print trade has been Vader choked to death by the internet and here are heavy internet users on a website clamoring for a print publication.

OMEGA CLASS IRONY DETECTED

Minalkra said...

uhm, i'm sorry but the only reason i would think something like this would be a good idea is if Seth and this blog was either closing or slowing way down. and i can understand if they do, it must be a lot of work to keep this blog up to date and running well. but even then, i don't think i could see myself springing the cash for a subscription.

if it's free, uhm, even then i can't see a real need for it. i might if it had either exclusive things (which i wouldn't agree with, freely share what you have is my two cents on that) or some kind of in-depth-ness-icity that EqD lacks or wants to get away from. again, only if it's free though.

i'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really broke.

Travis Smith said...

Rainbow Dash was here :)
Don't tell Travis

CoffeBlack said...

This would be a good idea, but the only thing would be that you guys would have to get news in advance and whatnot. :P but also another good idea if there was a print magazine would be to have some fan comics in it aswell as art.

anonycus said...

If it's a digital magazine only like Screw Attack, it looks like a good idea. Maybe have some magazine-exclusive features like letters to the editor, blogs, some interviews, and spotlights on certain popular creators of fan content like PixelKitties or KKat. Definitely you'd want a lot of comics.

Fanfics tend to be a staple of some fanzines, but considering the sheer volume of fanfics, even when filtered for quality on EqD, that's probably not a good idea. I suppose highlighting a few popular fanfics each month (not a review, since those just way too subjective, just an article about the fic) might work.

I think EqD may want to hire a few more volunteers for this though. Hell they may want to get a few more people to contributors anyway (you have to be really selective here as you need people who are both dedicated and have good chemistry with the rest of the EqD staff, along with bringing something new to the table).

A print-version sounds really cool but realistically would only work as a handout at a convention. Just too many logistical hurdles to running a print magazine for profit, not the least of which is Hasbro's permission to do a magazine that isn't 100% family friendly (we're a chill bunch but I could not say this is a G-rated website). Although if the digital version is successful, who knows.

pmd said...

It's a cool idea, but EQD is all I need!

Jmaster said...

So...it would spotlight things from the blog...that spotlights things on the internet?

Yo Sethisto, I herd you like spotlights, so I put spotlights on your spotlights so you can spot your..lights or something. Yeah, I got nothing.

mrsteroids said...

let's go and try this once. we'll judge it by it's content.

Baylor The Green & Blue Pikachu said...

YesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYesYes!

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

@cursormortis
To be honest, you really can't get more exclusive or in depth then what Seth is already doing here. That is the wonder of blog posting: Sethisto can post news the instant it comes out, while at the same time having Phoe and Tekramity working on an ultra in depth interview with Jayson or Lauren or whoever. There is no limitations on time or space, as there is in print media. It's why magazines and newspapers have been forced to converge with online mediums, or be put out of business.

Exclusive content would be their salvation, but there is no reason I see that the content wouldn't be picked up by the Daily. And once again, anything that draws people away from the Daily is sucking up ad revenue, and that makes it harder for Sethisto to work 25/8 on the blog.

I haven't even mentioned the logistics of this project yet. To find these highlights, they are going to need to go through one months worth of these:

Drawfriends
PMV's of all kinds
Fanfics of all kinds
Nightly Roundups
and any random news stories that have come out during the day, not to mention reporting on the episodes that have come out during the week.

Just the drawfriends alone will probably be around 400-500 images to sift through. It's gonna be a ton of work. And then to try and get exclusive content after that?

Once again, there are good intentions here. Maybe their team could be utilized by the Equestria Daily team. But to have their own competing news site would be disastrous on all ends.

Snowy Flanks said...

This seems like a good idea

Parallel Logic said...

I think it's unclear if this is a physical publication or a summary of EqD content in a magazine-eque form (eZine)

One factor I'd like to point out is that a fair number of the staff from the show do frequent EqD. Having a monthly publication that clearly summarizes the highlights from the site would greatly benefit them (imho) in gauging the response and feelings of the community without spending the time to page through all of the articles on EqD. Such a monthly publication might be a good place to list physical meetups of the community, thereby making it easier to get in contact with the staff to potentially make guest appearances.

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

Oh yeah, that would be incredible.

Luigicow said...

If it's like some online magazine type deal I'd love it. It's like the equivelent of taking the best stuff that's posted on here in a month or week, and putting in one giant post. It's very time consuming when I come home from my dad's, which I have no computer at, and have to constantly scroll through the past 3 days of stuff to find things.

onathursday said...

This would be really stupid and a waste of time for the person(s) doing the magazine honestly.

template93 said...

would be neat to see, I say go for it.

FlutterDash said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Verbose said...

Seems redundant. I don't have a problem with it, but to reiterate what one of the first responders said in the comments, unless there would be exclusive content, EqD with nice search functions as is serves the community just fine.

I don't see the need or how it could contribute anything that you guys are doing now.

Caerdwyn said...

As long as permission from each and every creator that shows up in the magazine is obtained, and Hasbro's trademarks are not infringed upon. Do it right.

Stormy Seas said...

I could see this as a good idea only if there were a deficiency in the EQD site that needed fixing, which I'm not seeing. The idea of additional competition and the involved logistics isn't selling me on the point here. While I was initially for the project, further thoughts changed my mind. Perhaps the idea could be folded into the site under a different pretext as an add-on instead of a separate entity.

Ink said...

Yes, I think it is worth a short and will be fun. I bet they could pull of AMAZING cover art, interesting articles about the fandom's growth, what's popular, cliche's in fanfics, individual specials for each main pony, interviews, etc etc. Plus a comic or art section with a couple mind blowing pieces (maybe including a couple of those life size plushes too O.o those things are WOW!)
There is a lot of really fun possibility!
Heehee I'm still thinking of how epic the cover art would be.

I say LETS DO THIS THING! :D

Flutterfan said...

The only way this would be good is if you kept stuff like news and art off the site and saved it exclusively for the fanzine. Although, to be honest, I'd still buy either way. I'd be a collector of pony magazines! :D

Ynop Snow Sparkle. said...

Some Comments say the magazine format may split the audience in EQD, but I don't think so. While the magazine is going to be monthly, EQD page will be still daily and with different news and content than the magazine, if the content is the same, there's no reason to do the magazine so, I vote "YES!".

Verbose said...

@Parallel Logic

I'd respectfully disagree. Even if a massive majority of the staff couldn't keep tabs on EqD and wanted to, that'd still be a small number of people to serve. But then again, these are the people who make the Magic (lol.) So I'd let anyone working on the show state whether or not a magazine would be nice. Most of the comments from the community are, honestly, blind support offering no reason. Most of the reasons listed against it are that of redundancy.

Also, the community has direct contact information of the creator, the producers, storyboard directors, music directors...if we wanted to get in touch with them seriously, we wouldn't have any problem. And historically, we haven't. The other way around, anyone on the team that is interested knows that they can just shoot an email to Seth, and it'll make it's way to whomever it needs it.

Squirrel said...

I think it's a neat idea, so long as there is additional content added to the magazine to make it worth-while. If it's just a re-hash, it's just going to be out of date.
What you could do are meet the brony articles, spotlight artists and report on toy news, have a new papercraft pony each week, get meet-ups listed more than 2 days before hand, publish interviews, add a centerfold (poster)... and you might as well call it PLAYCOLT. Oh, and don't forget the discreet brown cover. ;)

sleepingcobrox said...

There is one thing to clarify from all this that some of you do not realize this yet.

This magazine is DIGITAL. Like all the Screwattack magazines, this will not go to print. Seth you really outta update the blog with that note I just said. There will unforgettably still be people that do not realize this yet...

Flutterfan said...

@Ink
With our artists? By Celestia! the cover art would be some of the most beautiful things ever printed!

getoman10 said...

Personally I would read it, but this is sort of a no-effect cause to me, at least that's what I think.
It's kinda like asking people if a news channel would be better with it on the radio as well.

flutterguy said...

I'd subscribe to this.

gbharmsworth said...

Create this, right now, stop reading this comment and start creating that Magazine this exact moment...WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS?!

Jelfes said...

Yeah, this would be pretty cool, I'm not sure if I would read it, though I said that about the Equestrian Enquirer, look what I ended up doing, I read it... I read it real hard.

Filiecs said...

Sure, sounds like a great idea.
A compilation of the greatest fanworks right their.
I would also be greatly interested in sections where people can right their own articles and opinions on certain topics. (With heavy pre-reading of course)

8BitStranger said...

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

I too am interested in forming our own secret socierty.

Computerman897 said...

YES. WE NEED A MAGAZINE. AND IT SHOULD BE DELIVERED BY THE PONY EXPRESS.

I already look through this site on a regular basis. I don't think I'll look at something that repeats everything that I've seen for the last month again. The amount of content that screw attack puts out in a single day justifies a magazine, but equestria daily has't reached that critical mass of content yet to warrant a magazine. If you do decide to go forward with the magazine I would recommend a few copy writers to produce original content that would supplement the already existing content here and a graphics designer that is only responsible for the magazine. It's highly important that a magazine like this dose not fall into a downward spiral of using a stock template each month.

Why read a magazine which can have information that's up to a month old? The internet is free and faster

But as the biggest fan of ponies of anyone I know, I WANT IT!

If it's purpose is to offer what we have seen before in the blog, I'm not sure if it would be a good idea... just don't jump into it without thinking and try to measure its "usefulness" :$

Oh totally go for it but like people are saying I would chose what you put in there very carefully if it plans to be monthly and it would need to be more than what I can just go to every day to read.
It would need very exclusive content but not make you not post things on this site to gimmick that the mag offers 'Exclusive' news.

DAMN STRAIGHT I WOULD.
A damn Equestria Daily magazine is something I've been damn waiting for.
In damn fact, I was sitting there the other damn day when I damnout said, "Damn, what would it be like if I got a damn Equestria Damn Daily magazine every damn month just like the damned Gameinformer. Damn, dammit. I'm a damn genius."
And here we wing-boning mac-eeyupin' hprse-cloppin' damn-damnin' go, damn it. A suggestion for a damn Equestria Damn Daily maga-damn-zine.
Count me damn in.
Damn.

ScrewAttack Magazine was terrible. I'm going with "no".

why are we still talking about this? make it, MAKE IT NOW!

As someone who's work has been in print magazines. I can say nothing beats the feeling. However, I don't know if I would read it, but I would definitely be happy if anything I made was featured in it!

If it forms its own identity with a letters section, reviews of fanfics/music/etc., editorials and the like, this could be a great thing.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I think it's a good idea, but it would be redundent. We already get all the info in EqD by going to the site.

In the words of Twilight Sparkle: YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!

RanYakumo said...

This could be good, could be not. If you want to do it, go for it. The quality of the first print will almost certainly determine if I become a dedicated reader or not however.

Looks excellent! I think the way to distinguish it from EqD itself would be in the ads, articles and spotlights. Rather than just collecting pictures, movies and news like EqD does - this should go out and engage the Brony community. Interview the content creators, showcase new efforts, advertise projects and have fan-written articles or letters. I can imagine EqD Magazine, EqD and EI co-existing quite well if it's done right.

Neat! *Takes Picture*

Zoronii said...

It's not so much the extra content that may or may not be in the magazine, but the novelty of physically owning a magazine filled with ponies that makes me want this.
