Speaking of which if Meghan did leave, who would you want to take over as head writer/ story editor if you could pick anyone for the position. Personally I would pick AKR, Powell, or if they were avalible again at the time Larson or Cindy. Or again if she could be bribed into it *with lots of candy of course*. I would love to see Rebeeca Sugar on pony in any way, shape or form.
Well..... Merriweather Williams technically has the most experience of the lot. Im sure the internet would rage but it's not like Hasbro/the writers really care or be affected by it.
I'd say AKR would be nice but from her episodes, I get the feeling she's mostly into the slice of life episodes. Episodes that really don't feel... big? Consequential?
Like, I get this feeling that for a two parter, it'd be some slice of life episode with Pinkie Pie being as loud as possible.
But that's probably unfair to judge. As it is probably unfair to judge MW without seeing what she'd do on FiM as story editor
I don't watch Adventure Time but Rebecca Sugar sounds like a nice candidate because a.) those awards

b.) she's a storyboard artist. In a perfect world, having someone who writes for the episode AND would be there for the storyboarding could possibly be a match made in heaven (clear direction/guidance) and I dont know if McCarthy, solely a writer, does even go to those storyboard meetings.
Also, she (writer) worked with Merriweather Williams (story editor) before on Adventure Time (and got two awards for it)

So, realistically. I'd say MW is my pick. Not my favorite writer, but she's improved and let's not forget, her talents lies as a story editor. Maybe she's REALLY effective as a story editor, more so than a writer ergo she could potentially handle FiM really well
