Y'know, I actually said this off site (don't go followin' me, y'hear?

) and that's that "I want Lauren AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE from MLP or FiM"
I feel like FiM to her is more of an emotional baggage that's not really healthy for her to dwell on and she being often pestered about FiM on Twitter probably isn't helping. I mean, she left when the fandom was just becoming popular outside of just a few sites and from her accounts, she didn't enjoy working on the project as much as Foster's (she said she preferred the CN and likely Disney studio system). So yeah, I don't think she'd want to work on FiM since she probably was upset by it all and I personally have another reason to like that she probably won't return:
But on a more serious note, I'm hoping she keeps whatever ideas she wanted to do with FiM and use it possibly for whatever project she may next on be. I know most people will roll their eyes about Disney ever giving her a show but there's
some hope... like apparently the largest demographics on Disney are young girls. It's possible a cartoon aimed at them wont be popular (since live action series take up the most viewership) but at least it's something plus Disney supposedly touting its 'Creator-Driven' campaign so I hope to one day possibly see her unused ideas for FiM in her own toy-corporate-free show rather than see her try to
salvage do something with a project she left years ago and no doubt has changed drastically since her time there (some reddit person CLAIMED that she said she would have to retcon everything after ACW which will never happen).
In short, save your ideas for something else, Miss Faust

Something fresh off the oven
EDIT: Powerpuff Girls ended with Craig McCracken returning to the throne to direct it and it was amazing

But the difference with FiM and PPG is that PPG wasn't very serialized so Craig pretty much didn't have to worry about X's relationship with Y after Episode 63 had the two fighting over the new guy, Z. PPG kept the status quo, FiM has developed more and I wouldn't be surprised if Lauren felt uncomfortable about changing the status quo which... has changed undeniably (alicorn Twi for example)
