Story Writing Times and Featherweight's History


M.A. Larson over on Twitter regularly answers sets of brony questions. These are some of the recent ones he has tossed up! It sounds like a lot of care goes into writing these episodes, and obviously, it shows!

Blast from the Past #2



Hello everyone! Time for the second edition of Blast from the Past! Thank you all for the incredible feedback on our first edition, I had no idea it would prove as popular as it did. You suggested quite a few videos for me to look through so here's some of highlights! This will probably be a once or twice a week feature from now on.

As always, you can send suggestions to me at calpaina@gmail.com!

First Video: For the New Lunar Republic - One of the first bits of fan music made by the popular iamnotacleverpony graced our pages back in April 2011, beginning a great trend of pony music that helped define the Summer 2011 Pony Drought.


Mare-A-Thons Tonight!


Looks like a few marathons are goin on tonight! Have some links after the break! 

Music Remix: Love Me, Cheerilee / Love is in Bloom remix / This Day Aria Alpha


This is the first 1930's cover we have had so far I think. It definitely feels fallouty.

Have some remixes!

1.) Love Me, Cheerilee (Musical Cover for Fallout: Equestria)
2.) Love is in Bloom remix
3.) Silva Hound - This Day Aria Alpha

Season 3 : Cute Confirmed


Good news guys! It sounds like season 3 is going to be cute!

Yay ponies!

Discussion: What kind of setting do you want to see the ponies visit?



We had a poll dedicated to cities that have yet to be explored in the FiM universe a few days ago, and a few were asking for one that focused on settings the ponies haven't yet seen.  There are way too many to really hold a poll for though, so lets roll with a discussion post!

If you could send the mane 6 to anywhere you damn well please for an episode, where would it be?  We know DHX isn't afraid to drop all sorts of crossovers, including the high tech, so lets assume there are no limits.

Maybe Rainbow Dash would work well in a light cycle arena? Or maybe something a bit more original with a steam punk equestria?

Discuss it below!

Simple PMV: Rainbow Dash is "Becoming Popular" / Ponies are Stressed / Hell Yeah!



That first one makes way too much sense...

1.) Rainbow Dash is "Becoming Popular"
2.) Ponies are Stressed
3.) Rainbow Dash - Hell Yeah! [ MLP:FIM 1080p HD PMV ]

Game: Waiting is Magic


I'll admit, I suck at this one.  That high score must have taken forever!  Waiting is magic is pretty simple.  All you need to do is bounce the ball off the wall timing Rainbow Dash's hoof strikes.  It's surprisingly addicting though!

Check it out here.

Music Remix/Vocal: Smile, Smile, Smile - Arranged for Strings & Percussion / You are Rainbow Dash


Not a whole lot of music passing through review today! Have a remix of Smile Smile Smile orchestral style, and a new vocal french song after the break.

1.) Smile, Smile, Smile - Arranged for Strings & Percussion
2.) MLP FIM - Windskyed Brony - Tu es Rainbow Dash / You are Rainbow Dash. (Original song)
