Story: Let's Get A Wiggle On

[Adventure] "It's not very often I come across a story as enjoyable as this one, let alone one that I feel bad to see the 'complete' tag on to signify it's over." -Pre-reader #32

Author: Taxus

Description: In the breakaway state of Unicornia, a certain somepony is in grave danger, and completely unaware. Twilight, Pinkie, Mac, and Braeburn attempt to retrieve her from a speakeasy under the ownership of the Unicornian Platinum Council, a gang/political party bent on asserting the racial superiority of the more magical tribe. Will it be a routine snatch-and-run mission, or will conflict from the past arise to put their lives in danger?

We Love Fine Adds Doctor Whoof and Lyra Keychains

We Love Fine has added two more keychains to their collection of achievement related goodies.  Both Doctor Whoof and Lyra are now up for grabs.  They even tossed some TARDIS in the banner.  I'm starting to think the Doctor Who license has been added to pony or something!

Story: Easy As Lying

[Dark] “Surreal, vivid, and utterly engaging, this is a story that will get you thinking. A shining and original piece of work, and a welcome breath of fresh air.” – Pre-reader lost in Middle-Earth

Author: Thanqol

Description: "Our life is a journey

through winter and night

we search for our way

in a sky without light..."

The old stories tell of the Mask of Lies, that entraps its wearer as
certainly as it entraps everything around it. The worst lies of all are the
ones we tell ourselves.

Luna - Dark Templar Starcraft Portrait

What if Luna was a dark Templar?   This sort of gives you an idea.  She might be a bit too loud for that whole stealth thing!  I guess levitating around a warp blade would be pretty amazing though. 

Anyway, have another in the unit portrait series from the same guy that brought us the mane 6 starcraftified, as well as the crazy awesome Dota 2 animation. 

Story Updates: March 2nd

Story updates! Yarr!
 

Comic: Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella / A Daring Challenge / Twilight Cheats At Magical Mystery Cure

While Pinkie Pie's endless enthusiasm is nice most of the time, she really does need to learn when it's best to take things a little more seriously.

Time for comics! Click for full.

Iguana Comics Rainbow Dash Variant

Another comic book shop has hopped on the pony exclusivity bandwagon, this time dedicated to the single series issue #2 with Rainbow Dash. Have some copy paste:

It's official, (Thanks to IDW and Hasbro) Iguana Comics is getting it's very own MLP variant cover! Drawn by Jeff Egli with colors by Kurk Kasparian! We'll be taking pre-orders starting next week!

Head on over to their facebook page for the usual.  Thanks to Illustrious for the heads up!

PMV: Pinkie Pie

She's kind of a silly pony, isn't she?  Have a new Pinkie Pie specific PMV!

Animation: Friendship is Magic: Prelude

Celestia is bored, and this is a teaser for her being bored.  The use of "carnal" and surprise Lyra plushie in the background may be pointing toward a different topic altogether, but so far it's seemingly tame! I guess only time will tell.

New Equestria Girls image at NY Times

The New York Times has released an article discussing various toy brands, with a section about MLP and the pony craze.  Included in the mix is a small blurb about Hasbro's celebration of 30 years of ponies with the release of Equestria Girls.   This was the image they included with it. 

Head on over here to read it!

Thanks to everyone that sent it in!

Lauren Faust Joins "Mane 6"

As you all know, Fighting is Magic was a very promising fan-made fighting game that unfortunately was subject to a cease and desist order by Hasbro. Many people were understandably shocked and saddened by this and thought that it spelled death for the project. Well, good news, folks: this is not the case.

Lauren Faust, who needs no introduction, has joined Mane 6, the team that created Fighting is Magic. Now, the game they're developing is NOT going to be Fighting is Magic- it's going to be based on a all-new IP assisted by Laruen Faust. She had this to say:

Hey folks! I’m so super psyched to be a part of this! I hope I can do my little part to help Mane6 finish up this game in a way that stays true to the spirit of the original—but in a way that can freely be shared! I hope you like what we come up with. -LF
