Why ponies? · 7:20pm Apr 4th, 2018
I admit, I have no good answer.
I joined in the crush of enthusiasm that first filled this community with all manner of misfits and oddballs. And, like many others, I wandered off after the enthusiasm waned.
And now I am here again, and I have no good reason why.
If pressed, I must confess that the fanfic was my favorite part. The show itself is cute and twee in a good way, but the fanfic was...many things. Epic, in turn. Funny, in turn. Thoughtful. Creative. Clever. I love all the ways in which the mane six can be cast and still retain their core selves. I have read rather a lot of it. I have, in fits and starts, tried to write something that you all might like.
I think I am here as a way of saying "thank you" to all of the authors that made me smile.
So, thank you. I hope I can give you some of what you gave to me.
