At least I got to use the same bathroom as M. A. Larson after the panel that effectively replaced the canceled panel. That can be my biggest (and also lamest) claim to fame!

I got a retweet to my question before, could that be a lamer claim to fame?

I got to hang out with Chris Savino in his office at Nickelodeon few years back.

He only wrote two episodes of the show, but one of them introduced Trixie, so he's important enough :twiright:

I'm semi responsible for getting the voice of Duke Nukem to speak the lyrics to the show. It was some beanie wearing dude's idea but he didn't know the lyrics and somehow I did so I wrote them down for him. Because I remember useless things like horsie show song lyrics. :-/

This is the full text of that EQD post:
According to multiple people reporting after watching "Where the Apple Lies", the Netflix version of the episode has replaced all instances of "Cider" with "Juice". This is most likely to appease the UK channel "Tiny Pop" that had to delay this episode due to "Cider" being attributed to alcohol over there. I guess Hasbro just decided to go ahead and make their edited version the official release.

If anyone has the episodes on iTunes, you might want to see if it has been removed/reuploaded there. As far as we have heard, no one has reported it, but it might be another one of those broad Derpy level censorships that we end up protecting our original copies on.

Sethisto's sources appear to be two people named "DJZ and Zapzip," so who knows what their Netflix situation is.

I don't care if the British localize their episodes, but I don't think America should change the episodes to suit them. I mean it is not like, let's say, Japan is changing it's anime to suit the American pallet or anything. And the UK is definitely not changing any of it's dialog to suit America.

We're America after all. We barely realize other countries exist.

Does anyone remember how the Canadian distributor of FiM crudely censored words like "loser" way back in S1? Hasbro didn't immediately turn around and force that word to never be said in future seasons just because someone else didn't like it. If the British distributor doesn't like the word "cider" then, unless censoring it somehow incurs a huge extra expense for Hasbro, I doubt the show will be globally forced to give into their sensibilities.

Did you know the very last sentence on the pony Christmas song CD is, and I kid you not, "the future is a cold nightmare."

Interesting way to end it, Hasbro.

Hah. Apparently they re-released with the songs from Hearth's Warming Tail, so that's why. The original ended with the classic "a circle of friends we'll be to the very end" :allears:

Weird moments in fandom: hearing a line in an episode of Westworld that seems almost identical to a line from "Art of the Dress":

FiM
"Orion has three stars on his belt, not four."

Westworld
"There are three stars in Orion's Belt, not four."

Time for FiM/Westworld crossover fic?

I like to imagine Yakyakistan is completely taken over by the windigoes. When the yaks first discovered the snow they declared "this not yak snow!" and have been fruitlessly thrashing against it ever since.

In a way, it's amazing that Polsky lasted this long. I think the only other writer who was more polarizing than him was Merriweather Williams.

But yeah, it's actually kind of a weird feeling that there are no longer any writers from Season 1 that's still on the show.

Oh well.

When you think about it, S1 was a really long time ago, especially when we're considering when S1 was produced. That would've been back in 2009 to early 2010.

I assume Meghan will still be involved, even if it just means stories rather than scripts.

Do we have any writers confirmed for S7 yet?

Meghan only had story credits for season 6, and I don't expect that to change (I won't be surprised if she has even fewer of those in S7)

As for who's been confirmed, no one that I can recall, mostly it's been people saying they won't be involved.

EDIT: Fixed errors.

Haber gets a question mark because when directly asked on Twitter he responded in a deliberately vague fashion.

I realise I could fill in "N"s for pretty much all of the Season 1 writers, but I'm only messing with the ones we've got new info on. Get off my back dammit.

I just got done reading Equestria: Fallout. Longest self published fiction in the world with 620,000 words. It felt like the the person writing didn't get past halfway through season two before finishing the story. Because they didn't mention Discord until near the end. Nor did they reference the royal canterlot voice until the end either. And they only thought there was only two princesses. For a moment I thought they were describing Queen Chrysalis near the beginning but that was something completely different. They described a creature as a tall, slender, black pony with wings and a twisted horn. They came pretty close to describing her without actually seeing her before.

I thought it was a pretty good blend of the two franchises. There were some heavily emotional parts that made me put the book down and step away for a moment. But overall a pretty good telling of a story.

Are you including those who has "story by" credit? I noticed that you have Meghan McCarthy writing in seasons 5 and 6 even though the episodes she was credit in were for story only.

Otherwise, you would have to include Jayson Thiessen, who had "story" credits in seasons 4 and 5, Jim Miller (season 5), and Teddy Antonio (season 3)

Fallout: Equestria's failing is that is basically never got past the pilot emotionally, leaving the reader with a set of characters who happily murder their way across Equestria because the main character can do no wrong and is the "element of self-sacrifice."

I'm not a fan of pony stories that completely miss the point of why a kids' show about self-improvement and moral/ethical development is good and important.

Remember that Fallout: New Vegas was released in America literally nine days after FiM began. I think that's a good bit of historical context as to why Fallout: Equestria was made and how it became so influential.
