Nightly Roundup #577

A good friend is a friend that sticks by you despite your flaws, despite the errors you make, and despite the number of times they raid your fridge. The best of friends are the ones that understand that and smile at the end of the day at things that make them gladly call that person friend.

News time you guys! Ready for it?

Clarification of Documentary Production Shutdown

Michael Brockhoff has sent a clarification update to all of the backers on Kickstarter regarding the shutdown of production of bonus material after rampant piracy of the film. In essence- people who pledged enough to receive the extended interviews will be getting those as soon as those assets are sent to the disk printers, and, according to Michael, he "want[ed] to make it clear that we did not call all Bronies pirates."

He also speaks on the topic of the final Kickstarter budget, and the funds associated with all the materials produced.

The full text is after the break.

Drawfriend Stuff #710

Ive always been a sucker for epic skies in art.  Something about moons and stars makes me want to drop everything and go get a degree in astro physics or something.

Editorial: EQD, Quality Control, Pony Fame, Fandom Evolution and You!

It's time for another one of those good old fashioned EQD editorials! 

As the fandom continues to evolve, and EQD changes along with it, I wanted to give a broad idea of what exactly goes on behind the scenes.

Included in this neat little editorial here is a simple explanation on why this site filters things, along with a bit of opinion on what makes each piece of content popular.  Head on down past the break, and become enlightened on the inner-workings of the blog!

(Or just toss your favorite art/fanfic/media thing in the comments if you aren't in the mood to read. All are welcome!)

TV Pony Movie on the Way

Over at the Toy Faire 2013 Investor Relations event, it looks like a bit of information is coming out relating to a TV release pony movie is popping up.  Have  a quote:

Whoa! Mr. Frascotti acknowledged “Bronies”; thanked them for being great fans. My Little Pony TV Movie announced. He also mentioned that there will be a New IP for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. This new IP is for Older Girls; Teenage and above. The name of the IP will be revealed at a special “Pink Carpet Event” at San Diego Comic Con 2013. My best guess is that this is the rumored “Equestria Girls” trademark.

 I guess we won't find out everything about it for a while here, though knowing pony, something is bound to pop up eventually!

Thanks to everyone that sent it in.

(Update) Have a slideshow. (or here)

(Update) Head on down below the break for the audio version from the actual announcement!

Spotlight Music: Allons-Y / Adventures in the Crystal Empire

I was just telling some people on Skype that we needed a Doctor Whooves style pony track, and out of nowhere this shows up in the submit box.  Feather and Sim Gretina have teamed up on an epic new track dedicated to the timelord himself! I guess it could technically be considered more of a Doctor Who fandom piece, but I'm not complaining.

And in the second slot, we have another one of those epic orchestral tracks from Orchestral Design dedicated to the Crystal Empire.  

Head on down below the break for both!

1.) Sim Gretina & Feather - Allons-y
2.) Adventures in The Crystal Empire

Nightly Roundup #576

It must be wonderful to be a pegasus. Soaring through the sky without a care in the world, the wind in your face as you gaze out at the beauty around you and finally crashing in a comfy cloud to take a nice summer afternoon nap. Sounds perfect to me.

News time guys! Check it out after the break.
