      Writing that letter both overjoyed and pained me to an unimaginable extent. For the month that I've been watching this show and been part of this fandom, I have never had so much fun. Thank you Lauren, for everything.

      (Copy of the ''Thank You'' letter I sent)

      Dear Laurent Faust,

      There is so much to say, so much to do, so much to think about, and so little time to do it all... but let's start somewhere shall we ?

      I have to say that I'm not very good with those ''thank you'' letters, but You and the 'Crew' being the show/series that is *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - (MLP:FiM)* more than certainly deserve one.

      Many others already said this, I'm sure, but watching this series was one great experience, and was made possible by the show itself but also by the 'awesome' community that spawned around it.
      A community that drew its inspiration from this very series, creating stories, pictures, comics, and other various creations.
      The lovable characters, the quality of animation, the interesting 'plots', the colorful yet epic action, the many fascinating bits of details and ideas floating around...
      More than enough to spark a figurative 'wildfire' in the imagination for thousands and THOUSANDS of people from everywhere and across the world...

      To resume what I said, in fewer words (and probably less confusing too), this was a really enjoyable experience...
      One that most surely brightened the lives of a lot of people, which all thank you many-many times.

      So, thank you again and one last time, but not the last for sure.

      Onward to Season 2, with the hope that it will be as great and even greater as Season 1.

      Sincerely,

      -Nova25

      I'll add my letter later - but for now, let me congratulate my good friend Tim Newton (the brony in question) on his long-due appearance in an EqDaily post!

      You are coordinating a great service here, sir. Rainbow Dash salute, and much love to you.

      And also apologized for the behavior of certain fans while I was at it.

      Wow. That was an extremely personal letter to write. I really hope she reads these letters. I'm sure she already knows about our appreciation, but even so, I hope she sees just how deeply it affected some of us.

      Oh, wow. I got off the phone after calling home for Mother's Day, and I saw this.

      I don't even know what to say. I'm absolutely honored to be the one to compile all of these incredible thank you letters, and I just hope and pray that Lauren will have a chance to read them and see just how much of a difference she's made.

      Also, thanks to everyone from Ponychan, PonyGAF, and here on EqDaily that's sent me letters so far. It's so inspiring to read them and see all the stories you have! An extra special thanks to ThreeSix and mazeedibeedi over on PonyGAF for writing Seth and getting this posted to EqDaily. And thanks to Tek for being awesome. Love you, brony.

      Just sent my letter. It's the least I could do! I do hope Mrs. Faust will have the time to read at least some of these. :)

      I posted a thank you comment on her dA earlier. Should I resend it through here as well? I want Lauren to know how awesome she is for giving us MLP.

      It's been suggested that a donation drive for Lauren's baby shower be taken up. Would EqD be interested in hosting for it?

      (copy of my letter)

      Dear Lauren Faust,

      Wow. So much to be said, and so much of it said by so many already. You and your team are one of the shining stars in television today. I've always been an unapologetic child at heart, and to see it so joyously legitimized in a show that I can enjoy with my friends, young or old, melts my heart. I am almost ashamed that I took so long to give this show a fair shake.

      FiM's format is wonderful. You have found a way to take real-world issues and transfer them to an imaginary realm with very real personality types. These are issues that many shows targeted at children completely sidestep for fear of alienating an audience that is, frankly, much smarter than most people give them credit for. I've never seen a more realistic interpretation of bullying, peer pressure (real and imagined), tension between friends with different interests... The list goes on. Yet, these are all presented in a way that encourages a solution and a chance for learning, and it never feels like force-fed drivel like on so many other shows. It's something I can truly watch with my younger cousins, and I hope someday I will be able to watch it with my children.

      No show in recent memory has gotten quite so many beautifully sung musical numbers stuck in my head so frequently for so long. I'm going to be singing "Winter Wrap Up" years from now, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who will say that (does it count double that I have a hearing problem?). The production values in FiM are absolutely incredible, and I am absolutely stoked to see how season 2 will shape up. You've really made this project your own, and it shows.

      Most of all, I'd actually like to thank you for the introduction of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. It takes a lot of guts and skill to make young children recurring characters in a show like this, and you pulled it off. Not only do they feel like real children with the concerns of youth, they are a joy to watch. It's as much fun watching them discover themselves as it is watching the exploits of the main cast, and it still never feels artificial or preachy.

      Ms. Faust, you have brightened the world with your ingenuity, and I sincerely bid you good luck in whatever you do. Know that you have a fan for life.

      Your faithful student,

      Cary Walsh ([email protected])

      PonyGaf is the nickname for the MLP fan community on the large gaming forum known as NeoGaf. They've had a rather large presence on the Off Topic forum for awhile now and it is filled with great people! You can find their thread in the Community forum now that the season is over. They're certainly worth the read.

      Well, this is an absolutely wonderful idea. I'm positive that even if she doesn't read every one, she'll be very proud and happy just to see how many personal, lengthy letters she'd receive over this -- and since it's in email and not dA comment form, who knows, maybe she'll keep them around and eventually read through them all for inspiration. She certainly deserves it.

      Actually, I sent her a link to the blog post through a deviantArt note, not email, but that's still a lot more effective than a comment. I sent the note just a moment ago, so hopefully we'll hear back from her before too long. And who knows? Maybe she will keep the link and come back to read some more whenever she needs a lift. Celestia knows there's enough love in there now to last her a long while... :D

      I don't know what kind of thing girls like about that kind of animal. I don't like it for various reasons. Even people on 4rx are really into that kind of animal.

      Did we go to school together?
      This is a really weird thing I am sure to ask, but I wonder all of the time if the creator of Rainbow Dash (you) knew me at some time or another. First of all, my name is Dash. I was born in 1979, and went to schools all over the US. Schools in California, Missouri, New York, Texas, and West Virginia. Rainbow Dash not only is a tomboy like me, but I have the same exact voice. I happen to be a HUGE Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fan.... die my hair all sorts of colors, and was extremely competitive in pretty much everything (even if I sucked at it). See where I am going here? Anyways, I wonder if this is just an amazing coincidence, or is an old school friend of mine remembering me?
