Help! My Heart is Full of Pony! - Faustverse · 12:04pm Oct 15th, 2019
There's an alternate universe where Lauren Faust never left the show. It also ran for 9 seasons, but literally everything from mid-Season 2 onwards was completely different.

In an unexpected message from Faust herself, we have a late arrival to G4. I, for one, welcome the addition.
Well, this is a bit of a turn-up for the book. Lauren Faust, who I don't think has been to a pony convention since 2012, is a last-minute addition to the already fantastic line-up of guests at EQLA in just over a week's time. It'll be fascinating to see what her programme is.
Also: EQLA weekend ticket = £38. BUCK weekend ticket = £100. And even at that price, BUCK doesn't make a profit. UK hire/venue/etc costs are completely idiotic. Now let me go and cry into my cider for a bit.
I announced this book last month in my Everfree Northwest 2023 release round-up, but I felt it deserved a standalone post announcing its online availability.
I just picked this up on Lauren Faust's Twitter stream. This is surely something bronies can get behind.

FUN FACT: Before 2010, when My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic first aired, there was no such thing as the Sun or the Moon. Without the sunlight necessary for photosynthesis, there were no plants and no farms. We humans survived on a diet of rocks, and sometimes resorted to cannibalism when we got bored.
Think Friendship is Magic was just made to entertain young kids and sell toy ponies? Think again. Why would any sensible media firm invest in such a high quality product, when young children are the easiest possible target audience to please and would settle for far less? Doesn't seem to make much business sense. But Hasbro chose to give Lauren Faust creative freedom in the design of the show, and she used it to advance her own agenda, executed with real passion. Beyond its pretty pastel
So this is why my writing panel was cancelled...
A lot of us have been looking for something to fill the pony void since the show ended almost a year ago.
Today, I discovered the first season of Lauren Faust's 2019 Netflix series, DC Superhero Girls (not to be confused with her DC shorts from 2014).
I have to say, it feels a lot like pony.
Lauren Faust receiving an awesome motivational poster (Obama "Hope" poster meme) at the summer 2012 BroNYcon. Con report in four parts, first post is here: https://ponyville-trot.dreamwidth.org/95395.html , click the small blue triangle 'arrow' pointing right to go easily to the next part (posted the next day). That blue navigation arrow is at the bottom.
Have any of you ever heard of the old German legend of a man named Faust and his deal with a demon, along with its poor consequences that followed it like a lame pup? It is one of my favorite tales, and I plan to adapt it... with an interesting twist to it.
1. Nobody genuinely likes G5, they’re just lying to themselves.
2. G5 is objectively horrible.
3. Lauren Faust needs to be brought back in order to save the universe.
4. G4 was the only good MLP anything.
5. Cozy Glow did nothing wrong and is basically God.
6. All of these statements are true.
I made this:
Spike, being the good little slave that he is, was busy as usual pointless reshelving books for Twilight Sparkle. As he put Gadding with Ghouls beside Travels with Trolls on the dedicated Goldenrod Clopheart shelf, Spike had a sudden burst of intelligence and wondered just why he was doing all of this.
I may or may not expand dong on this in the future. The future is not now.

Well, as in my stories, brace yourself for a mood whiplash because here's how Marephistallion looks in one of many pony forms.
