A Plea To Hasbro, Inc. · 12:14am Apr 2nd, 2012
My fellow Bronies,
I have taken the time to write a letter to Hasbro, in regards to there being so few quality collectable products available on the commercial market. If you feel the way I do, I ask you to take a moment, and do the same. Maybe if we inundate the Marketing Department with these, we might get something worth while before the "trend" has passed us by.
Here is a copy of the letter, including who to address it to, feel free to use some or all of it for yours, if you wish. Thank You. Aedina AKA Eldenath

Dear Mr. Frascotti:
As a life-time customer of Hasbro, Inc. I would like to bring to your attention an opportunity your company has so far ceased to utilize. The current My Little Pony,
Friendship Is Magic cartoons being run on the air have generated an audience of thousands that are being ignored. It is as if Hasbro doesn't wish to recognize their existence because their age and/or gender do not match the show's projected “Target” audience.
There are adults who are in love with the characters and world of Equestria. So much so, that custom models, toys, stuffed animals, and all manner of merchandise is being made by them, sold by them, and begged for by them, in droves, simply because Hasbro hasn't realized that “kids of all ages” might wish to collect this merchandise.
Figures of Princess Celestia, which are sold in pink are being converted to white in order to match the cartoon character. Hand crafted ponies of all shapes and kinds sell for hundreds of dollars on Ebay.
If I could make a music box with Fluttershy and Angel, that played Fluttershy's Lullabye (just as an example) I would – or I'd be happy to pay some very serious $ to obtain one.
Please reconsider Hasbro's current attitude towards this unique window of opportunity.
Thank You,

It's about time, more like well passed. The writer's block and lack of inspiration/energy seems to finally have lifted. I'm keeping my hooves crossed that this is just the beginning of the return of flow. With that said, I've finally published
. I'm puzzling out the right title for the next chapter and feel it pawing at the ground to get written. That's a good sign. Yeah!
