Amy Keating Rogers Becomes Full Time Disney Writer, Leaves My Little Pony For the Near Future

It looks like Amy Keating Rogers has been absorbed into the Disney machine! Yesterday she announced that she has become a full time writer over there. Amidst the congratulations, a bit of bad news did appear if you are a fan of her many pony episodes: 

There is always a chance that she might hop over for a quick idea or two, but for now, it looks like her career has shifted to Disney full time.

It was an awesome four years anyway. Go wish her some good luck at her new job!

Thanks to Casey for sending this.

A Bunch of People Around the Fandom Review: Tanks for the Memories

So far, season 5 has really impressed me. I think the only one I wasn't completely sold on was the castle episode, but it made up for it with PANCAKES.

This one was definitely up there with my other favorite Dash episodes, who somehow dominates my top list even if she derps a few times.

Anyway, go get some reviews and reactions from the fandom below!

Story: The Fading World

[Adventure][Dark][Crossover][Alternate Universe]

Author: Chuck Finley

Description: A Fate/Zero crossover of sorts. 

Equestria is dying, and always has been. The whole world has been this way for a thousand years, ever since Princess Celestia sacrificed herself to bind the fallen Princess Luna. Year by year the soil turns barren, the oceans turn still, the sun glows colder, and civilization slowly crumbles. The pegasi have not controlled the weather for centuries. Soon, the unicorns will lack the strength to raise the sun each morning. The world will be bare of life in less than two centuries. Even the most powerful magical artifacts cannot halt the decline. Until now. 

An old power has resurfaced, and five ponies race to claim it. A young duke, desperate to save his city and reclaim his family honor. A bounty hunter who speaks to the earth. A scion of magical power. A purposeless prodigy. And a college dropout. They will raise powerful servants and fight for the Grail of Magic. 

Dark factions plot on the horizons and strange beings peer in from outside places. One master of magic will claim the Grail. They will save the fading world... or rule its ashes.

I'm getting a definite Batman vibe from this pic. Am I the only one? Either way it looks pretty dang cool I must say!

Spotlight Music: Money / Back to Equestria! / Equestrian Territory

We probably should have just posted the Ponies at Dawn album, but at this point I think most of the songs have been posted or are set to be posted on their own across MOTD and here.

It's time for music! Get a mix of stuff below.

1.) 174UDSI - Money (feat. GloryOfTheRainWings) [[email protected]] (Vocal - Electronic)
2.) Luna Ticks - Back To Equestria! (Vocal - Metal)
3.) Pony Music & ThatMusicBrony Equestrian Territory (Instrumental - Dubstep)

Absolute Discord - Some of the Crazier Cards In the Set!

Hey guys, Cups here again, back to share more Absolute Discord details with you! Doing card development and theming for Absolute Discord was the most entertaining and downright fun of any set so far, and there's even more to see and talk about this time around than ever before.

This time I'm just posting about pure goofy hijinks. Seriously, just look at some of the "characters" that ended up in AD! Real Life Gummy, Carrot Discord as a new "Element of Disharmony," Tom the rock, Crackle, Bloomberg, Screwball, Pinkie's imaginary friends from Party of One, Ballerina Buffalos, Steven Magnet, Boulder... The sky was the limit on this one, so we decided to ignore that and go right into space.

Take a look below the break for more of the fun, bizarre stuff in Absolute Discord!

Tanks for the Memories - Background Music, and Instrumental/A-Capella Versions of the New Song

That episode was super dark if you think about it in a slightly different way. Luckily most of the music was pretty upbeat!

We have four variants on the song for all you remixers out there or those just curious about instrumentals or vocals being isolated, along with all the background music. Get it below!

Discussion: Do you Wear Pony Stuff in Public?

I'm sure a bunch of you out there have some kind of pony apparel, be it a keychain or a tee-shirt. The amount of stuff out there is incredible these days between the piles of stuff Hasbro and their licensees throw at us, along with the custom things the fandom produces. The question is, how many of you use this stuff regularly?

Admission time fandom! Outside of pony conventions or meetups with friends, do you ever don your pony swag? How far do you go with it? Is it just a subtle shirt or do you bust out the fake ears and Rainbow Dash backpack?

And if you don't wear any pony things, what is your major hookup on it? Are you just embarrassed about the potential weird looks, or do you want to avoid being recognized by your fellow pony fans and stuck talking about Rainbow Dash in the middle of the mall for 30 minutes?
