Large-scale armies are a thing of the past, at least to "modernized" individuals like Vice Grip. They're too vulnerable, too obvious and too difficult to maintain. To the dictator, an army is a large and very needy tool that functions like a national cudgel for both defense and offense. With the advent of better 'cudgels' like long-range missiles and bombs, the use of an army is greatly diminished while the risk of operating is increased. Vice Grip, considering himself superior in intellect to

The King and Queen of Equestria were the first created by the Fausticorn(not Lauren Faust but her ponysona), also known as the ReCreator(R-Creator or RC for short.) The King and Queen ruled Equestria for some generations, keeping the peace and protecting their subjects from threats in an area called the Enchanted Valley.

My name is Norman Cooper. Although I was created as a joke, Barro has asked me to explain to you what my job is like, what it's like to be a stormtrooper. I originally featured briefly in Episode 11 of Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship when Vice took over the Crystal Empire. But that was not how things started. My ID number is TK-442, I'm a sergeant in the 64th Imperial Stormtrooper Legion. That knowledge, my name, my clothes and my rifle are all that I have left.

The doorbell rang at the appropriate time. Dan checked the clock to make sure: 11:00 a.m. and not a moment sooner nor later. He nodded at the clock; a modicum of respect for punctuality. Yet, Dan's face held a disgruntled, disapproving frown. He did not trust the guests... not yet, at any rate.

"Dan, could get that? It's probably them," Twilight's voice announced from upstairs.

Yes, we have touched a little bit on the subject of race in Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship. And despite the fact that the cast is expanding along with the story, I have noticed that it is not becoming more diverse. You all have noticed as well, as exactly one of you has mentioned like... okay nevermind, that didn't happen. But let's pretend it did and there was one person who said that Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship wasn't diverse enough. Well, hypothetical person, it is my pleasure to say we

Magic Gears were and are the most sophisticated and complex machines ever designed. Built for both construction and destruction, they require an equally-sophisticated and complex method of assembly. Not only that, the Director and Vice Grip's mutual schemes forced them to build quite a lot of them. And so, modeled after Queen Chrysalis herself, Vice Grip designed the Gear that would could build the Magic Gears and all other weapons, vehicles and machines they would need, including the

Fluffy, pink, lovable, cuddly and weird as fug, Fluffle Puff is a mysterious new friend Twilight Sparkle met alongside a redeemed Chrysalis in the Everfree Forest. Where Fluffle Puff comes from, what exactly she is and indeed the bizarre language she speaks, not to mention her behavior, are all questions that are mostly overlooked the moment she hugs you and embraces you in softness, warmth and unconditional love(and FUNconditional love in most cases.)

My Little Pony originally was based on a conceptual toy franchise called My Pretty Pony. Thus, did the ponies of MLP come before the world in which they would live. Indeed, the first world ponies inhabited was not Equestria, but Earth and after that, a world with no name referred to as Ponyland or something cute like that. No, it took a while for Equestria to come into being and when it did, ponies from Earth were placed there in which to live and frolic and play.

Grex was pretty good at making sandwiches. While he was only there to pick up a report from Twilight for Sigma Base, he figured he could grab a quick snack for the ride back. Gathering a modest amount of what was available, he sat a couple condiment jars, some lettuce, tomato and haybacon and closed the door to the fridge.

"Hi."

"OH FUCK!" Grex practically jumped back. "Sithspit... how long were you back there?"

Hey guys, so before we get started, you should know I'm a pretty big fan of Abridged Serieses. Team Fourstar's Dragonball Z Abridged, None Piece, Sonic F(obvious as to why they don't want to be called Sonic X Abridged) and of course, LittleKuriboh's Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged which started it all are some of my favorites. So, in the spirit of abridging, here's the first episode of Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship now abridged. This was a lot of fun to do, hope you guys like it!

Due to unforeseen technological fuckery, the usual computer I use to write has taken a dump. While I am dealing with this potentially financially crippling problem, rest assured that all my regular updates will continue... um, regularly. As in, Dan Vs. will still be updated every Saturday, unless the apocalypse is upon us, in which it might be an hour late.

Dogs in Equestria have a troubled and varied history. Some of them are more like dogs on Earth, like Applejack's faithful companion Winona. Others are part of a separate evolutionary branch of mostly upright canines- Diamond Dogs, Mineral Mutts, Ore Hounds and similar various breeds. These are dogs that mostly developed in valleys, quarries and caves and have specialized bonded minerals to their hides. Geodogs is the name Vice Grip gives to this evolutionary offshoot.

We've encountered quite an abundance of characters in Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship and we're probably going to meet plenty more before the first season is over! Here are just some of the side characters Dan and the gang have met so far:

We've created a lot of different vehicles and designs for Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship, and we're not going to stop any time soon! Hopefully, one day all the characters and unique designs, including the ones you all have added will come to life in new and exciting ways. For now, here's one of the earliest designs we chose to make concept art for, the sinister Enclave's FB-05 Flutterbird gunship! This piece was drawn by the extremely talented Mr. EZTP! You can see more of his incredible art

Ten episodes left until the final!(as if I had to let anyone know) and we're already working on preproduction for Season 2 of Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship- Revenge is Enchanted, featuring new characters, new settings and much more. If we were doing our best to get even the smallest semblance of structure in season 1(and we are), we have all but abandoned that notion in season 2. The future seasons of Dan Vs. The Magic of Friendship will have even more of what the

When the Golden Oaks Library was wrecked by the Bass Cannon during Episode 2: Dan Vs. DJ Pon-3, Dan had the opportunity to completely renovate the treehouse. Among his improvements, Dan purchased(using Twilight's account with the Equestrian treasury) a number of state-of-the-art security systems, including a laser turret defense grid, a minefield placement system and a timed explosive launcher featuring an animatronic scotsman that fires a single dart with a powerful charge inside. These

Over a thousand years ago, Equestria was ruled by a triumvirate instead of just the royal family. There was a prophecy that one day Princess Celestia and Princess Luna would take the throne and lead Equestria into a new age of harmony but until they were ready, three representatives of the original pony tribes. Even after Equestria was founded following the exodus from Enchantria, the three pony tribes were still separate despite living in the same kingdom. Although they were united as a
