This is ponychan though! And stuff like this tends to spark.. things. A new contest has popped up.
The general premise is to draw/photoship/animate Fluttershy into a half pony, half fly, abomination. That's right! The most loved character in the show is apparently lacking insectoid features.
But why would you take part in such a crime against nature?
Well, the person running the competition is so psyched about turning our cute little nature lover into a demonic ponybeast, that they are offering the rare, Fluttershy blind bag toy to the winner.
You can find the ponychan thread here if you want to give it a shot!

Do Not Want.
VastaKustutaI heard about this a while ago, some of the things that it has spawned are truly terrifying. Go look at the comic that has Shutterfly sucking the moist sweat from Twilight and you'll see what I mean.
VastaKustutaFirst I was like lolwut that's just plain creepy but then I was like meh why not.
VastaKustutaUm....yeah....What is this I don't even?
VastaKustutaShutterfly... That's why Hasbro has to be right about what they say...
VastaKustutaUm... I think I'll pass on this. I'll take Fluttershy just for how she is now thank you... o_O
VastaKustutaThis is almost as depressing as that mutated dog from The Fly II
VastaKustutaShutterfly? Why can't we just have Fluttershy flying around with one of those shutter-cameras, taking pictures of cute things? That would be preferable to those monsters that they're creating.
VastaKustutaNopenopenopenope
VastaKustutaI'll just wait for the blind bags when they hit stores next month.
VastaKustutaI'm I the only one who dislikes the Fluttershy blind bag toy? I mean, her hair compared to what she really looks like is just...ugh...not that I'm not going to try and get it(I'd like to start a collection after all).
I feel like the people at Hasbro don't even watch the show e_o
VastaKustutaNot sure if I want...
VastaKustutaTHE FLY: Pony Edition
VastaKustuta(Someone should totally make a trailer about that)
The really funny thing here is that the character Fluttershy was originally named as an intentional play on the term "shutterfly", which means a photography enthusiast. The G3 version of Fluttershy was an earth pony who wasn't particularly shy or anything, she just liked to take photos of her friends.
VastaKustutaJeff Goldblum in...
VastaKustutaThe Shy.
Do I try to win the blind bag, knowing full well that I'm tarnishing one of the most innocent creatures in existence? Or do I pass, knowing that blind bags are kind of a b*tch to get a hold of, and getting a specific one even more so at times?
VastaKustuta...I'll have to pass. Damn you, Ponychan.
You know what I'd rather see.
VastaKustutaPonyfied Jade from Beyond Good and Evil.
That's the kind of Shutterfly I'd like to see.
I could never do that to Fluttershy even if I wanted to. she is just to fucking cute.
VastaKustutaI always preferred the fan idea that Shutterfly was the name of the paparazzi pegasus trying to take Fluttershy's picture in Green Isn't Your Color.
VastaKustuta>Seth works at Blockbuster
VastaKustutaThose things still exist? I thought Netflix killed them all.
In my fan fiction I had Twilight recommending 'The Fly' to Dash for her to read, I even planed on having her have a nightmare were Twilight is half Parasprite, do to a teleportation spell gone wrong...now I will have to make it FLuttershy instead hehehe
VastaKustutaMake it go away forever!
VastaKustutaB-b-but, why would you do that to innocent Fluttershy...
VastaKustuta:'(
Shutterfly its the evil twin sister of Fluttershy?
VastaKustutaHayquemelol.png
WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!?
VastaKustutaWHY? oh, sweet Celestia, WHY?!?
VastaKustutaso for this i think im either going to take my new fluttershy doll, find a fly cut its head off and replace it with the doll's head.. or i could just as easily photoshop that...
VastaKustutaI'm OK with this.
VastaKustutaTo me, this contest isn't so much about "turn Fluttershy into a monster" so much as "if something happened had drastically altered Fluttershy's appearance (and maybe habits) to horrendous results, would you still love her?" Kinda sorta like when your paranoid girlfriend keeps asking you "if XYZ happened to me, would you still love me?"
VastaKustutaDo you guys even know what shutterfly means? By any chance ya DON'T know where Fluttershy's name came from? God, I'm not as big a fan as most of you guys and even I knew that!
VastaKustutaI think it'd be a bit more accurate to call that a Flutterfly. Shutterfly is probably Fluttershy taking pictures of everything or whatever.
Celestia help us Season 2 needs to get here quick...
VastaKustutaBlast, I wish I could draw!
VastaKustutaThat said, isn't there a background pony (ponyrazzi) named Shutterfly anyway?
Just when I though that we couldn't get any stranger, we have a contest to make a sweet innocent pony into an inhuman abomination based of a typo.
VastaKustutaNo wonder that most news stations seem freaked out about us. We aren't doing anything to change their minds, are we?
to everypony who's dumbstruck with those guys having no clue about the whole g3 shutterfly thing.
VastaKustutaponychan is the dwelling place of clueless /b/tards. always was, always will be.
NO ME GUSTA
VastaKustutaNow we know that our pony overlord works at Blockbuster.
VastaKustutaWe're one step closer to raping you in your sleep, Seth.
@Anonymous
VastaKustutaWhy would you SAY that? And, anyway, wouldn't THAT wake somebody up? So, it's hard to say that you'd be doing it to them in their sleep.
ANYWAYS, to the main point, there is something good coming out of this: at least we know that "somebody appropriate" there is getting notified of "interest". I wonder what the toy side of the business makes of the older fans, like, uh. You know. Us.
Oh, no, no, no, no!
VastaKustutaI do not want to be a fly. Nor a tree. I just want to be me. *shivers*
Not even for all of princess Celestia's royal gems would I even consider this... this... abomination of a contest... This brony should be banished to the sun for this.....
VastaKustutaI don't know whether I should be amused by or raise eyebrows at the majority of the squeamish comments here; the overall viewpoint of what I'm getting from 'em is, "I would only love Fluttershy until some freak incident happened which made her body undergo a horrifying transformation."
VastaKustuta... I should probably be amused, 'cause, hey, it's the Internet and all... :oP
Still, like I said earlier, (I was 6/22/2011 11:50 PM Anon), this contest ain't about making a monster outta Fluttershy. It's more about how far an artist would go with the details in portraying a cross between Fluttershy and a fly while STILL being able to love her just the same.
I ain't saying you gotta participate in, or even like the contest, but I am saying that we love Fluttershy very much, no matter what would happen to her. Personally, I hope NONE of these transformations would seriously happen to her... though after seeing what Lauren Faust and her team have done with the show already, I'm sure they could make it work if it were a temporary condition. :oP
@DareDreamer That blind bag toy looks like a Rainbow Dash I have, same pose, same hair. A different colour of injection plastic and a paint job perhaps? I agree, I'd prefer one that matches her appearance in the show.
VastaKustutaparasprite fluttershy would be even cuter..

VastaKustutaAlready been done in the thread, here ya go: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/merch/src/130880488538.jpg
It IS really cute ^u^
I wish I could draw. I'd draw Shrapnel ready to turn her into an Insecticon.
VastaKustutaFluttershy: "But...um...I don't want to be a giant robot insect."
Shrapnel: "You don't have any say in this, Shutterfly Shutterfly."
Fluttershy: "Uh...that's not my name."
Shrapnel: "It will be soon soon."
*heads over to ponychan to see what all the fuss is about*
VastaKustuta*CANNOT UNSEE*
OH CELESTIA LOOK WHAT OUR CARELESS HANDS HAVE WROUGHT!
Oh great, this is the Luna Game all over again *rolls eyes* its like bronies ENJOY scaring people!
VastaKustutaOpalescence here, the one "psyched about turning our cute little nature lover into a demonic ponybeast".
VastaKustutaI am grateful for the exposure and stream of people contributing.
I must also "thank" the original poster for the summary lacking most of the important details. Which is kind of missing the point.
But as they say, any publicity is good publicity.
Ya know, a couple of months ago, I was in Best Buy, looking at computers. There was this photo album sign labeled 'Shutterfly'. Obviously, I made the comment about switching a certain two letters and laughed away.
VastaKustuta... Yeah, didn't see this coming.
i do believe i`ve seen a comic about the "flutterfly" theme quite awhile back, as in long before this happened, and it wasn`t half as bad as you may fear. if i remember right the excuse was the occasional "spell gone wrong by twilight"
VastaKustuta@Anonymous
VastaKustutaYeah, the contest started on May 20th. This is quite old news actually.
The comic by Hipster Pony, you talk about, was among the first entries.
A shutterfly is someone who takes pictures of everything.
