    Pony Fanfiction Documentary

    Copy Paste:
    Good day fellow Equestria Thespians,

    We are proud to announce a MLP:FiM fan fiction focused documentary to be released at no cost this summer. Our team is small and we are still in the process of finalizing guests such as well known and lesser known authors, mods, cover artists, reviewers, and more with a run time of a full 40-45 minutes consisting of 7-8 guests.

    Why are we doing this???

    Fanfiction is one of the biggest areas of the fandom but unlike music, you can’t play a 20 second clip, or have something going in the background. You can’t put it up on the screen for a moment like a picture or a clip from an animation and expect the audience to “get it” or feel connected to the art. Thus the idea for a documentary took shape. This way we can give back to the fanfiction community in a way that does it justice.

    But one of the things that would help is feedback and community involvement. We will be looking for donations/suggestions for art, music (original and new), and guests.

    Our main point of contact will be through the fimfiction group, and below is a link to our group FAQ

    Successful Meetups

    --------------------------------------------------------------
    Berlin Meetup


    This was a triumph - we making a note here - Huge Success!
    Our Easter Meet-Up was great. We had Vinyl Scratch and Princess Celestia as special guests, tons of music, comedy, a lottery, much fun and Ponies.

    The fact that we still have snow here in Germany was reason enough to watch Winter Wrap Up, sell Pony Socks and yell at Rainbow Dash for the weather.

    We celebrated a Birthday too - with cake (We even got a Princess Pancake Cake), Discord and a dance party at the end (inclusive an inevitable Harlem Shake)
    To sum up the Meet-Up with the birthday bronie's words: "This was the best birthday in my live."

    Midwest Meetup


    The DC Area Bronies were at it once again over the weekend trekking through Elizabeth Furnace State Park in Virginia. This three day hiking trip kicked off with pitching tents and having some campside fun with nerf sword fights, axe throwing competitions and collecting firewood.  Dinner was complete with an assortment of appletastic treats, apple donuts, apple streusels, apple oatmeal, apple crisps, apple jalapeño sausage, apple juice, apple cider, and marshmallows, etc. (and no joke, this was completely unintentional since everyone pitched in something different). That night our friend Seeker, another local area Brony, played host to a brilliant Stargazing Party in the nearby countryside.  Galaxies, stars and planets were in full bloom across the dazzling night sky with Luna gracing us with her majesty as the grand finale of the night around midnight.
    After a nippy night in the elements, day two pitted our prowess against the steep mountain side amounting to a full 10 mile hike across two peaks. No there weren't any terrifying dragons out here breathing fire, well except for Darkpony, but we did have some great vistas and brought Rarity to the peak to be with her one true love.

    DC meetup


    Today we the DC bronies went to Annapolis Mall for the Build-A-Bear My Little Pony Launch event. Even though it didn't start until noon and the store didn't open until 10, members of our group were camping out outside the store at around 8 am. We got our new pony friends and managed to get out in about an hour. Afterwards we got some food and stormed the Hot Topic for pony merchandise. Next we returned to the Build-A-Bear where face painting was promised to be earlier. Once we were all decked out with pony plushies, pony clothes, and pony face paint it was time to take advantage of a photo shoot deal going on with event. We then wound down with a gaming session at some couches. All and all a good way to spend April Fools day.
