It is no surprise for those that know me that I am mainly interested in background characters and Alternate Universes rather than the Canon setting. I have always been an outlier and have had atypical preferences when it comes to characters in the show. As far as G4 goes, I consider a lot of it non-canon due to my severe disagreement with the introduction of the Student 6, the School of Friendship, and the finale. My favorite episode in G4 is the Perfect Pear, followed by the Season 5 Finale.

I am generally somewhat open minded in reading, however I prefer more Adventure and Mysterious fimfics that are separate from the Canon of the show for the most part, though I will occasionally find exceptions. I have watched all of G5, but it doesn't particularly impress me compared to other stuff I am interested in but I will continue to watch for the forseeable future because I am somewhat invested in future Pony Content. I am also mainly focused on characters who are not the main focus of the show (Mane 6). I like a range of everything, from more Slice of Life stories to more Horror/Dark content. Heavy Worldbuilding and Deep Lore is one of the most interesting things to me about writing.

I also will not read NSFW stories of sexual character.

My favorite non-MLP character would be Janet Perstein from the Magic School bus.

I also am very interested in Star Trek and Star Wars, and pretty much like most of the characters from those series. Transformers interests me, with my favorite shows being Animated, RID2015, and Transformers Prime.

My favorite fan-created character is Snowdrop.

As of right now my top 10 canon favorite ponies would be:

1. Silver Spoon
2. Diamond Tiara
3. Twist
4. Pear Butter
5. Spoiled Rich
6. Trixie
7. Twilight Sparkle
8. Maud Pie
9. Starlight Glimmer
10. Moon Dancer
