BaconofChaos Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 A fascinating insight into the show we all know and love.Interesting points:...Something I said on my dA page turned into an interesting Internet game of telephone; consequently' date=' a lot of fans now seem to think that I had a grand scheme for a big, dramatic, serialized magical-girl style of a show. Actually, it was always my intention to have the show partially “adventure stories†and partially “relationship stories,†as I called them in my initial pitch bible.......If we had penned more adventure stories, the only difference I can think of is that perhaps you would have seen more of Luna and Zecora. Zecora was designed to be a sage and mentor to whom the ponies could go for information about their quests. She was designed to be a second mentor to Twilight, but that didn’t come to pass. And Luna, though good, was meant to be associated with darkness and night - and these are considered (by some) to be iffy themes for a show for young girls - so she had to slide to the wayside.[/quote']Not much to add to this except I think it's safe to say that Zecora will likely return in season 2 since she was supposed to play a much bigger role.I will admit I still check in on EqD almost every day' date=' and I checked Ponychan when episodes premiered to get feedback. I consider them very valuable resources - and, frankly, fun! I also admit I’ve occasionally contributed to discussions, and I’ve even dropped a few spoilers for fun - yay for anonymity! I totally lurk, guys...so careful what you say! [/quote']Woah Nelly! She is among us! And dropping spoilers no less! She's so awesome....You think maybe she's been here too...? YOO HOO! MRS. FAUST! GIVE US A WAVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraphiteDoodles Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I read this last night, too! Lauren Faust is an amazing woman.It's so cool that she lurks on Equestria Daily almost daily, and probably will again on Ponychan when new episodes come out.

Tenkan Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Lauren Faust's words are quite inspiring. This just comes to show that, if you put all of your effort into something you really want to succeed, then the outcome will be satisfactory.
