Well, the disappointing news for G5 just keeps on coming. IDW is apparently wrapping up the comic series for good with the most recent issue, a run that lasted only twenty issues consisting of two lackluster arcs, and two filler issues in-between focused on Izzy. I wouldn't be surprised if G5 as a whole wraps up for good in 2025 when interest in "Tell Your Tale" inevitably wanes.

Hey there, guys. I'm back at Fimfiction. I know it's only been a short while since I temporarily left the site, but now I'm here and ready to get back to writing. Though, I'm sort of low on ideas and need your opinions on which ideas I could try.

1. A mystery story.
2. A romance story involving RariJack (my favorite MLP ship due to Rollercoaster of Friendship).
3. A story about any background characters that you'd want to see get developed.

I feel like this website has lost its charm over the years. Ever since G4 ended, the traffic on this site has taken quite a tumble. Also, is it just me, or do stories get very little attention nowadays? If you agree, then please elaborate on your thoughts.

So, with 2014 about to wrap up, the Friends Forever series decided to do a drug aesop issue using the most obvious pairing of all time, Twilight and Pinkie Pie. Needless to say, it was unexpected, and probably didn't fare all that well. But despite that little bump, it seemed like the IDW comics were still on relatively solid ground. So, with the decision to continue the plot in which Twilight and Rarity were nerfed, did things improve or get worse?

Hello all! I am starting a new blog-post-trend-thing where every Wednesday, I give my random opinion about something, mainly having to do with MLP. I might differ from this fandom and give my opinion on something else, but that would be pretty rare.

Well, today, I am giving my opinion of original characters. Without further ado, head below the page break for some opinionated details about OCs!

Back before Season 5 aired, I made a list of the top 25 episodes best episodes of the show in my opinion. Naturally, now that Season 5 has come and gone, several new episodes have become deserving praise. As a result, I decided to go up to 40 episodes. If you saw my list ranking all 117 episodes from worst to best, chances are you'll know already what number 1 is, and what episodes will be making the cut.

Well, before you all start asking, the answer is yes. I saw The Force Awakens in theaters, it's a good movie, but I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it. Personally, I found it better than the prequels, but not on par with the original triology. But that's my opinion, and you may or may not have a different one upon seeing it.

By the Fall of 2015, the show was in its highly popular (though hotly contested) fifth season and the show seemed to be growing more mature as its target audience matured. Meanwhile, the IDW Comics, which had previously been seen as even surpassing the show in quality, had gone downhill fast. The main series had just wrapped up a two parter made to blatantly try and cash in on the popularity of Flutterbat within the fandom, and was preparing to unveil their first four parter

Despite Friends Forever #2 proving to be a big success, it was still unknown if the series truly had what it takes to replace the micro series or if #2 had been a stroke of luck. So already the third issue had a lot to prove, especially since the main series of comics was only just starting to rebound with #17 (the start of the critically acclaimed "Reflections" arc that would span four issues). And when it was announced that Princess Celestia and Spike would be teaming up for

At the end of 2013, IDW announced it was going to end the Micro Series and starting in 2014 it was going to launch a new series entitled "Friends Forever". The series has had its ups and down since then, but how did this first issue featuring Pinkie Pie and Applejack fair considering it came out around the same time as "Pinkie Apple Pie"? Most people say this first issue was a dud, but are they perhaps, mistaken? Well, let's find out.

Even though we've only gotten 12 episodes instead of the usual 13, it's time to see how Season 6's first half stacks up against the first half (or the only half in Season 3's case) of every other season to see how it's doing. But before we do that, let's see how the first 12 episodes of Season 6 stack up. Remember, this is by no means official.

Episode Rankings:
12. Newbie Dash
11. Applejack's "Day" Off

Before we get into the actual review itself, some of you may be curious as to how my vacation to Tennessee went. Well, it went great! We drove down there on Thursday, and drove back on Monday! On Friday, we went to Dollywood, which is a nice little theme park with a somewhat confusing layout. Its bragging right at the moment is having the first wooden rollercoaster to launch you, knowing as "Lightning Rod", though it also has a few other coasters (including one of the first wing

With the show coming back for what would turn out to be an unexpected but amazing fifth season in terms of quality, the IDW comics were sliding downhill fast! The main series was bouncing from one insulting two parter to another, with only a rejected Friends Forever script to break things up, and even that was dragged down by Fosgitt's terrible artwork. As for Friends Forever, the best it had to offer in the first half of 2015 was Friends Forever #13, with Friends Forever #14 proving to be a

With the first Legends of Magic having proven itself to be a great success, the pressure was on to see if it could keep up the quality a second time around and thus prove it was a series worthy of being part of the comics roster. Deciding to go with a brand new legend never before mentioned in the show, was this second issue able to prove Legends of Magic had staying power or did it already indicate the series might not live up to the hype? Well, let's find out.

Well, another season has come and gone, and it's been quite a ride. I have to admit, this season has more than any other given me the most cause for concern about the show, and there were times I was worried it would be the first season in my book not to top the previous season. But was that actually the case? Well, before we find out, let's take a look at our episodes in the second half and how I'd rank them. Like always, this list is my personal opinion and is not official by any means.

While chapter one of "SciTwi Shimmer-Book 7.5" (the final product won't have the "SciTwi Shimmer" tag on the front BTW) is finished, I'm debating on releasing it now and adding the second chapter later or waiting until both are completed to release it. What do y'all think?

I've been doing this since Season 4 and I intend to keep doing it. Despite how much I ragged on about the finale being so underwhelming, was it really enough to drag down Season 8 or is it possible that Season 8 is actually better than even I'm giving it credit for? Well, like always this list is purely the result of my personal opinion so please respect it. And first, like always, we rank the episodes in this half. Here's how I rank them from worst to best.

So after the first part of this two parter proved to be really rough around the edges in regard to Tempest, was this second part able to make her redemption justified? Was it able to fix all that went wrong? Or did it only prove to be a waste of time that undermined any credibility for Tempest's character? Especially when the Ponyville Mysteries comics were generating more interest because they included Scootaloo's aunts and Diamond Tiara? Well, let's find out (there wasn't much in the way of

Now that "Rainbow Roadtrip" has come and gone, I can give my thoughts properly on the main cast for the second to last time (barring something unforeseen happening). Season 9 so far has been interesting, there are quite a few things to consider. So did the number one spot change, and if so who now holds the top spot? Here's the previous version, from just after "Best Gift Ever", let's see

So, with this current story, it may come to your attention that some of my... opinions... regarding certain characters might be pretty different from what one would consider the norm. This isn't going to change the quality of the story, and I'm putting forth a lot of effort to make it as believable as possible,like always. I just wanted to let you know that some of the things I have some strong opinions for might make themselves known. I hope you all enjoy finding out what it is, and can
