Distracted edition! I'm slowly finding out that I am terrible at multi-tasking even though I do it constantly.
Have some news!
Epic Pie Time Pinkie Pie Voiceactor Doing Commissions!
Apparently I broke the link last time. I just don't know what went wrong!
Have some copy paste:
Ever think about how totally awesome it'd be to have a customized MLP ringtone, voicemail or text tone? Maybe send that a friend the best gift ever on their birthday (or the upcoming Valentines Day) of a custom pony greeting? Look no further! Bree Faith of Epic Cupcake Time fame is offering pony voice commissions at negotiable rates as Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and other ponies on a request basis. Help her pay off her college books and get a one of a kind audio file! For an additional fee Pinkie style singing telegrams are available for the Valentines day season.

Cathy Weseluck Interview Uploaded to Youtube
For those that couldn't make it to the interview a few days ago, the entire thing has been uploaded to Youtube.
Check it out here!
They also plan to release a "brony" edition with just the pony stuff included as well for those primarily looking toward listening to it for that.
Japanese Pony Fandub
Oh god Japanese Pinkie Pie is awesome.

Brony Novel Project
Have some copy paste:
I, Riftwing, have drafted a book about the Brony subculture (with Purple Tinker’s blessing) and am asking fellow Bronies to assist with its content. The book was written for non-viewers that are interested in learning about Bronies. It explains the basics of the show and the fan culture, as well as addressing the ‘why’ of the fandom. I am asking for both positive and negative feedback on my writing, as well as comments on parts of the fandom that I may have missed. I am releasing a draft of the book at my blog, Brony Magic.
I am also putting out a call for support material to be integrated into my book. These include personal stories that reflect just how strong the magic of friendship really is, stories about how the fandom has affected you, and other interesting tales of being a brony. I also am asking for art for the front and back cover art for the book, artwork and/or photographs for each chapter, and maybe a better banner or theme for my blog. If you are interested in reading and/or submitting content for the book, please visit Brony Magic! Thank you for your support!
Cake!
Truly Delicious.
My Little Attourney Seeking People
Another Phoenix Wright style project is under way, have some copy paste:
Hello, bronies! I know a lot of you have probably heard of the series "Turnabout Storm", and I have been planning a 5-case series starring Twilight Sparkle as the defense attorney. These cases will be a webseries, and I will personally be writing the script. The problem is, I have nopony helping me with this project, and I've decided to send a message to Equestria Daily for recruitment.And check out their forum here!
I will need artists, for vectors and for backgrounds. I will also need voice actors of all kinds.
If you wish to know what spots are available, please email me at [email protected] or contact me at my Youtube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/Kiniest
Scratch Tattoo

Successful Meetups
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dutch Meetup
We started off with a group of 60 bronies who were all trembling of cold (and excitement) but more came in later as all the trains finally arrived. We had some some bronies even arriving 4 hours later because they got stuck but refused to go home!
During the meet, we had several activities planned but our planning went a bit hay-wire (pun intended) because of the weather. Still, we had several successful activities like Ponyhunt, drawing competitions, Ponies and Dragons, Pony auction, Pony mane-styling, sing-alongs and of course the bronystate stream just before the episode!
Thanks to bronystate, we were able to give a massive shout-out to the bronies all across the globe. Even though the quality of it was not great (thank skype for that), I think we managed to show bronies worldwide how awesome brony communities are.
After a fruitful meetup, we had to send the bronies off into the cold winter night again but don’t despair! There will be another meetup in 2 months! April 7th to be exact.
Check it out the video here!

Newmarket Brony Meetup
Copy Paste:
We started by having the raffle for an unofficial season one set at the Everything Chocolate Cafe - congratulations to Dillon Bondarenko for winning! Aftwer we spent another hour or so there, we decided to go about our usual routine of wandering the town. We had some adventures climbing garbage / gravel / snow piles, wandering behind the stores along "the wall", and searching high and low for ponies (no luck this week...darn). Hopefully we have better luck next time in terms of snow and ponies to be found, eh?
This is the group for all fans of 'My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic' who live in Newmarket (Central York Region) and want to meet new people, discuss the show, and have fun in general with other fans of the show. We meet once a week on Sunday and are always eager to accept new members.
For those not in the know, the YRT / VIVA is free to ride until the end of March, so feel free to hop on any bus and come join us on Sunday!

@MandoPony
ReplyDeleteCONFOUND YOU MANDOPONY
Today's image makes me think of a certain Pixar short...
ReplyDeletealso, So much Scratch-love tonight! :D Dat snowpony, and especially dat tattoo! wow...
And yeah: If you're coming to GDC this year, hit me up! We wanna gather as much game-industry bronies as possible!
No link for that brony novel project? :(
ReplyDeleteJay I loved that short :D
ReplyDeletelolz
ReplyDeleteSixth!
ReplyDelete@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteU MAD BRO?
In all seriousness, I simply must comment on how fantastic that Japanese fandub was. Horry sheeto. That was incredible.
@MandoPony
ReplyDeleteI no rite?! Glorious!
Yes where is the link for Brony novel project? And yay snow ponies!
ReplyDeleteHey is there a link to the Novel?
ReplyDeleteOh how that Luna plush makes my heart melt.
ReplyDeleteOh lawdy, geddan. It's been ... not long enough, actually
ReplyDeleteMichigan State? C'mon, Michigan! We need one too!
ReplyDelete@MandoPonyYou. Gotobed. Or make us some music. D<
ReplyDeleteXD
YOU'RE SUCH A TROLL MANDO, but we love you anyway.
@MandoPony
ReplyDeleteEverypony knows EqD is not about news.
Its about being the first to comment.
APURUJAKU! Silly Japanese accent, I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI don't even speak Japanese and I thought that Japanese fandub was brilliant, for the most part. The voices seemed to be fairly close, emulating the style of the voices rather than going for a direct copy.
ReplyDeleteDid Applejack have a regional accent? Not being familiar with spoken Japanese I couldn't tell if her speech was accented or not, but I'm guessing it was. Osakan, perhaps.
That fandub just goes to show how much the show has spread, and how much we help it do so.
ReplyDeleteThat Japanese dub is fun to listen to. I just love listening to things in Japanese. Even if I can't speak it. But I think that's what makes it even more fun. lol Then I saw it was a fan made dub no less. Wow, nice.
ReplyDeleteHeh, those tags for the Get Derp animation. That's certainly fun. I feel derpier already. <3 It also reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTlTfL0szTI
The Brony Novel Project sounds interesting. But I simply must ask this, must ask. Why would he have to get Purple Tinker's blessing to write a book on the Brony community? I'm completely dumbfounded on that one.
Ooh, very nice Vinyl tattoo. Based off a rather good image, if I remember correctly. Looks like the artist captured her and her emotion pretty well too.
And then a Vinyl snowpony. It is really good indeed. And melt?! We shall preserve her. We have the technology. But we probably shouldn't spend a lot of money.
Dat wet mane Rarity plush.
Here's a link to that Trixie/Angel/Presto artwork at the top: http://raikoh14.deviantart.com/art/Presto-crossover-Trixie-and-Angel-283630680
ReplyDelete@Kyronea
ReplyDeleteYeah, the creator replied in one of the video comments that it was a Kansai (which includes Osaka) accent. Although she would have preferred a Tohoku accent herself, the general consensus seemed to have settled on Kansai and she went with that.
There's finally a Star Trek Online guild with Bronies?! Oh hallelujah! Must get home and log in quickly.
ReplyDeleteI met the animator that worked on that particular scene! He was really nice.
ReplyDelete(I'm referring to the Pixar Short, Presto.)
Strictly speaking, no one is good at multitasking. Our brains simply aren't capable of it. The ever-increasing press of distractions and entertainment on the internet is why peoples' average attention spans seem to be hey a squirrel c'mere little squirrelie!
ReplyDeleteYEAH!! Pixar reference :D Hopefully I'll be working there after I finish college...
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese dub was amazing :) I love how far this show is spreading. I gotta say, Pinkie's demon voice in Japanese was pretty terrifying.
Whoa... that snowpony is incredible! O_O So many talented bronies...
Derpy's gonna derp.
@Beatfox
ReplyDeleteNeat! Nice to know I managed to successfully call it.
That "Get Derp" video was awesome. Definitely saving that one...
ReplyDeleteDamn Dutchies, you're with many :D Let's hope we get as many people for the Belgium meet next month ^^
ReplyDeleteDat Scratch tattoo!
That Japanese Fandub is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteRarity catch! Love that line! Ahhh memories. Plus a Vinyl Scratch tattoo? I think that man loves his ponies.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the snow ponies makes me miss the snow. I really want to make one!
Now the plushies always amaze me how much some go for. And at those prices I may as well make one myself!
That Dutch meetup looke like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteTo bad it was too far away for me...:(
@MandoPony
ReplyDeleteOh you!
wow the person that made that wet mane Rarity really managed to capture it well
ReplyDelete@MandoPony
ReplyDelete"I hit refresh every 30 seconds!"
Tis' WAS NOT a lie! ;)
"I'm slowly finding out that I am terrible at multi-tasking even though I do it constantly."
ReplyDelete^
lol, college kids
MSU?
ReplyDeleteGod DAMNIT!
Screw it, I'm going to go make my own brony club! It's like everyone here just decided that their meetups would be outside of a three-hundred mile radius from where I live.
The Brony version of the Cathy Weseluck interview is up, for anyone that doesn't want to hear the full version.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/slkMRsUF-QY
Those beanie plushies sell for a lot more than most full sized merch of any kind I've seen. Which is weird, since they start at $5 and the buyers just boost the hell out of the price. Dude must be good at his craft.
ReplyDeleteThat Japanese fandub, so awesome!
ReplyDeleteJapanese Fandub!
ReplyDeleteWonder how American stuff is seen in Japan compared to how Japanese stuff is seen in America?
HOLY FREAKIN CRAP THAT JAPANESE DUB.
ReplyDelete44th haha suckas!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have a brony fleet in STO?! Oh my gosh!
ReplyDeleteNext time i'll log on, I'll send a pm to this Travel_tech!
Japanese Ponies?
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite things are finally combined
now there just needs to be an MLP anime and my life will be complete
@FerosAwesome!
ReplyDeleteNew officers!
@ Octavia
ReplyDeleteMillion Dollar Pony?
That Japanese video, my God can anything be so terrifying as Pinkie Pie yelling at you in foreign languages?
Derpy video...I'm so confused...so so very confused!
Awesome snow ponies! But I live in Florida..I do sand pony? Do I have the patience? Ehh I doubt it but I can try
Oh hey, MSU. That's totally along my weekly route. Albeit, two days later, or five days earlier then when I head out that way.
ReplyDeleteHuh, so that's what the pre-stream live footage was about. Didn't even realise they were Dutch folks
ReplyDeleteDid I just read pegasister!?!
ReplyDeleteOK because I need to know, what girl wants to be called that? It makes me mad when I read it.
@Kit
ReplyDelete1. Actually, a girl did come up with that name first, albeit as her nick on one of the early boards. (I gather she wasn't very nice?) Anyway, she left the name behind somehow as a generic.
2. On the bright side, it's better than the guys calling us "fillies" or "mares."
3. Obviously we need to come up with a better, cooler name that does not involve the Greek prefix "hippo-".
4. I suppose one might float possibilities like "I am one of the goddesses Epony," or the good old "femfan", but I don't see that catching on, either.
@Suburbanbanshee
ReplyDelete5. I think there's possibilities in the Latin and French words for sister: "soror" and "soeur" both sound like "soarer" or "soar."
So maybe we're members of a Pegasorority, because we Pegasoar? :)
Or we could be Chickateague ponies....
ReplyDeleteOr Misstangs....
Or Grrrons....
Oh, there's a million horrible puns out there, and I'm sure one will work. But probably it will stay pegasisters or nothing, because we're only about 20% of the organized fandom.
GDC meetup!? Hell yes, I'll be all over that!
ReplyDeleteAim to be a derpymon master?
ReplyDeletePixar is great, huh? :D
ReplyDeleteA Michigan State Brony Club? HRRRRNNNNNGGG... Brony's why'd you have to make choosing a college so hard?!?! I guess I'll have to start one at UofM if I go there. :D
ReplyDeleteThat Japanese dub is okay. It's certainly not great. I did laugh at how she gave AJ an Osakan accent in her little one man fandub show. The translation's pretty good, though.
ReplyDeleteI thought her version of Pinkie's "Twilight Is the Very Best" song from Ticket Master was better.
Thanks, I got a lot of voice actors from this post. But I'm still somewhat lacking in background artists.
ReplyDeleteOh, and question about this "Brony Novel Project." If it's going to be non-fiction, how exactly is it a "novel"?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Vinyl Scratches' cutie mark be easier to explain?
ReplyDelete@rkueselThere's already a U of M brony group. They had a meetup featured in one of the nightly roundups within the last week or two, I think.
ReplyDelete@Jorlem Oh yes, you are very correct! They even have a FB group! Thanks for pointing that out to me!
