    It is FAR from Over

    By QuickLime,

    The Brony fandom is /NOT/ dying unless you want it to die, those who whine, bellyache and bemoan and grieve the 'Loss of the brony fandom" are the ones that want out of it . Once Upon a Time there was a show called My Little Pony Tales This show had it's fan, this show was recreated MANY times and still had fans, A lot of those older fans are fans of FIM.
    Those fans did not stop being fans when their shows ended, they didn't spurn or ignore the new generation (at least not all of them)
    Fandoms don't die once they stop, a series doesn't end after one character finishes their story, and a Community doesn't die just because the show ends.
    The Brony Community is not my first one, but it's very dear to my heart, I have met several wonderful friends here I otherwise never would, I have been more creative, write better, and overall am a better person because of this community, NOT because of the Pastel ponies.
    FIM is the thing that brought us together, we talk about it, we roleplay it, we write fan songs about it, fan fiction about it and we draw it, however if suddenly today FIM ended and was all said and done the ponies would be gone but WE'D still be here! We'd talk to each other we'd continue our rps, and we'd make up our own stories to fill the void.
    A fandom dies when all of the people that care about it forget it even existed, a fandom dies when people stop caring... and a story ends when the last words are on the page and ended with a "The End"
    We've got a season coming up, a Movie in the works, and the Canterot Staff are working diligently to keep the forums alive and active and fun, we are not dying, we are still here, so long as there are still even a hand full of Bronies we'll still be here, this community will keep going forward.
    If you feel that the show ended the day Twilight became an Alicorn then I respect your opinion, however MLP is NOT just about Twilight
    There's Rarity, Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie still, there are still countless characters that have their own stories (granted ones the fandom will probably have to tell) We are not at the end of the book, we are at the end of the chapter, we are not dead.
    We are not gone.
    We are not over.
    We are still here.

    I am apparently not a unique individual.
    I do not go exclusively to independent coffee shops



    I don't listen souly to music made by independent musicians that work from the bottom and climb to the top



    I don't only watch hand made animated works that were made by one guy on YouTube.



    I will go into a Starbucks, get one of their "girly frappe not coffee at all" drinks and sit on my laptop and enjoy myself.



    I will hear a song on the internet, in the store, whatever and get it on my Ipod despite who the singer is, what the opinion of them is, or if they are "Mainstream" or not.



    I will quite happily watch any copy paste "Disney Garbage" that shows in theaters, and I will be a mindless sheep that watches "mainstream" programming, buy their merchandise and wear it unironically and look like the worlds biggest corporate tool, swallowing any half attempted garbage they churn out.



    I'll go play my uncreative un indie games like Skyrim, and I'll occasionally quote a popular meme (Well I did! but then I took an arrow to the knee!)
    I am apparently the definition of a soulless , creativity lacking, media sheep.



    And I don't care.
    Letting people tell you that if you like a certain thing, enjoy a certain restaurant, or play games, listen to music, and enjoy things that a lot of other people do makes you uncreative, stupid, and a sheep?
    Is just as bad as swallowing everything just because it's popular.



    People are always unique in their own ways, I for one am a writer, a roleplayer, and I am pretty good at what I do, nobody else will think, write, or express themselves the same way I do.
    THAT makes me a individual.



    Not what I drink
    Not what I listen to



    Not what I wear



    and not what I watch.
    I am an individual because I exist, I will listen to what/I/ want,



    Drink what /I/ Want



    Play what /I/ want



    READ what/I/ want



    And it's not your place, job, or call to tell me I am a mindless sheep because I choose to do what I like, instead of what you think I should:)
    So I watch a show that is overhyped garbage that is just boring, produces boring sayings, and I wear their stuff, go to their conventions, or make references to the series that has "a bad reputation"
    So what?
    Ima do my thing, you do yours.



    Deal?

    Hello and welcome to a very special edition of QuickLimes Guide to Rping!
    Today we're going to talk about a growing issue in the introductions thread!
    Now when you first join the site it is good manners to have your first 3 posts being in the introductions area
    Here is a link to the Introductions Forum
    Now once you are there it is crucial that you read This Thread FIRST as it gives you a very good idea as to what we expect from an introduction! But I'll summarize here for you so you can get the gist of it.
    1: Introduce yourself ! Tell us what you like to be called but DON'T use your real name
    2: Keep personal info out of it, we don't need to know what city you live in, how old you are, ect keep this sort of information private! Some stuff to mention about yourself however are
    1: Your favorite pony
    2:How you became part of the fandom
    3:How you found Canterlot.com
    4: Hobbies you might have
    5: Other shows or interests you might have
    6: Any skills you might have (art, music ect) Though don't brag obnoxiously and seem like you are tooting your own horn
    3: Do NOT use your first post to advertise another site or a game, this is very very rude and the Staff won't appreciate it.
    And the very last thing? Post as YOURSELF.
    You have a whole bunch of Forums dedicated to roleplaying
    FFA (Free for All)
    WOE(Word of Equestria)
    Ect
    We want to hear about YOU Not your Oc, we don't need to hear about how you are a Pegasus that lives in Cloudsdale, or a Earth Pony from Manehattan
    Just let us get to know you, and we'll learn about your OC later
    This has been the Queen of Ravens signing out
    BRRAP!

    Greetings EveryPony! QuickLime here with a brand new weekly blog series! Once a week I plan to tackle a character, episode, and god forbid a Fanimation for the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
    It can be any character, any episode and ANY Fan work (Sans art)
    I will have to be honest, no sugar coating, and I have to use purely facts and what not, no headcanons, no flimsy justifications! And the best part? YOU get to tell me what to do!
    Simply post in the comments below what character, episode or Fanwork you'd like me to be "In the Defense Of"
    If someone's commented something that you want to see, simply quote them and go "Me too!" Or something!
    This should be a great series!
    (The Positivism might kill me though)
