• Nightly Roundup #451


    For his extreme diligence in his support for Noi despite the odds, tonight's header I just have to give to Killryde. Noi is pretty cute I have got to admit, I wonder why we don't see more of her?

    News time you guys! Check it out after the break.

    Friendship is Magic Official Handbook Disappears from B&N and Amazon!

    As the headline says, the interesting book posted a week ago on EqD which seemed to be for older fans has disappeared from both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It's a shame because the book certainly seemed to hold promise! Hopefully it is only a temporary thing.

    Ponies in Swedish Newspaper



    Ponies are once again popping up in news media, this time in the Swedish newspaper Norra Västerbotten! It's been quite a week for our little pastel ponies hasn't it? Thanks to EquineNoxX we have a translation to English which I have uploaded to a Google Doc you can find here.

    On a Cross and Arrow Auditions

    An audio version of On a Cross and Arrow is in need of quite a few voice actors! If you think you can pull off a good male pony voice, check out the details below.

    "My name is Lightning, host of the Lightning Round podcast.  In addition to that I also do 100% voiced fanfic readings.  An upcoming fanfic that is in the works is On a Cross and Arrow.  For those of you that don't know, it is a rule 63 fanfic that introduced the male versions of the mane 6.  This reading will require a lot of voice actors.  There are about 21 open roles and 16 are male roles.  Information on which roles are open as well as instructions can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FFNTu7kEpongroHFFgLT-9ap5F1wloZEB89frFAJqw0/edit

    Hope to hear some great auditions!"

    I Am Pony Facebook Page

    A cool little Facebook page has been opened by a talented and generous brony named Gina! You see, every Saturday she holds a contest to give away free artwork to people, primarily artwork featuring the winner's OC. So if you're in the mood to get to know a wonderful member of the community and possibly have the chance have your OC drawn to boot then certainly pay Gina a visit!

    Friends on the Moon Charity

    Copy Paste:

    Friends on the Moon is a charity dedicated to helping bronies in the community who are struggling with things in their life beyond their control. Whether it's a lifelong disability or a life-altering injury or event that is throwing their life into Chaos, Friends on the Moon is there to help! 

    Each month a different brony (or bronies) who needs our support and friendship will be selected, and each month a donation goal will be set according to the specific needs of the brony (or bronies) in question. But in order to help these bronies, we first need your help! 

    Send an email to us at [email protected] about a brony (boy or girl, or even yourself) who you think could use a little extra support and a way of contacting them (email, skype, phone number etc), and we will see what we can do! 

    After we receive enough emails, our team will contact those we are emailed about and ask them for their permission to support them. If given permission to help, we will then host a Livestream and send out a newsletter to the news sites with information regarding that month's selection(s). 

    Livestreams will be held on the first Saturday of each month, starting hopefully as soon as October 6th, 2012

    So send in your suggestions and help our dream to become a reality!
