It’s official. Derpy Hooves is off the air. Hasbro doesn’t want her. The good news is, she’s not the only pony er-only one in this situation.
Ponies believe in friendship, and Derpy isn’t the kind of pony to leave her friends in the lurch. There may be obstacles in the way, but if they try… if they really truly try, they can get back on the air. Right?
Comedy is tragedy plus time. And the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Lol, good for Derpy!
Sweet little story, this, and cute idea having Hasbro overlook their toy line to give Derpy another chance.
I actually have that Funko figure. There's definitely something to be said for the audience voting with their wallets.
A lovely tale of determination in the face of adversity both comical and otherwise, and a stroke of genius in connecting the Hayes Code with Derpygate. Darn moral outrage ruins everything. There is a bit of a disconnect in just how much of the show does and doesn't apply to real life in Equestria, but this was still a delight. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the judging.
(That said, I'm not sure what solution Twilight found. Applejack's kind of infamous for getting left out of the merch.
)
Kind of interesting using the merch angle since Betty is somewhat infamous for the amount of crap with her face on.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
