Title: What We Leave Behind
Link: http://youtu.be/yOCA-jWauLo
Synopsis: After dreaming for all his life of becoming a Royal Guard, Shining Armor has finally received the letter of acceptance that will mark his way into the ranks. On his last day at home, as he readies himself to say farewell to the only life he's ever known, Shining will realize why he's taken this path for himself, and who he's walking it for.
Duration: 43 minutes 19 seconds.
Cast: Scribbler, Kel Grym, Solar Pony, Swedely, Finaltime87.
Secondly (and thirdly if we're being technical), two fancomic dubs; one AppleDash romance/tragedy, one comedy based on the end of Power Ponies.
Title: Angels
Link: http://youtu.be/wVH0TdmfXaI
Synopsis: "Mama, what's an angel?" [AppleDash]
Title: Lovers of Literature
Link: http://youtu.be/stNsIE0CUHE
Synopsis: Be honest. You know you would too (saucy comedy).
Thirdly (fourthly?) I would like to submit something not actually produced by myself. Goombasa is a talented fanfic reader and he has done a pretty darn good dramatic reading of nine of the ten chapters of an OctaScratch multi-chapter.
Title: Playing With My Heart

Synopsis: Four years ago Vinyl and Octavia broke up. It was messy, painful and left scars on both of them. Four years on, now one of the most successful DJs in Equestria's history, Vinyl receives news that Octavia has been in a terrible accident. The doctors say she may never recover from her coma, but Vinyl refuses to believe them. There are all sorts of stories about coma patients who are brought back by the voice of someone they care about, right? No matter what anypony else says, offers or threatens, and no matter what it costs her personally or professionally, she is determined to stay by Octavia's side and do all she can to wake her.
Duration: 9 videos (6 hours).

Reactions are Magic: Season 4 Premiere Pt 2
This series is inspired by ACRacebest's "Bronies React", and may be best described as a spin-off of it, being on the same scale production-wise, but with a few differences. ANY viewers interested are allowed to submit their own Reacts to each episode. Unlike how Bronies React seems to focus on the comedy more than genuine reactions, ALL OF THE SUBMISSIONS are from first-time viewings. Despite that, it's similar in still having a mix of improvised comedy, as well as analyzing of the episode after and during it. We can always pause or just edit extra details and cutaways in post, after all, and we do.
This project has production value like Bronies React, and as such, the videos take time to be completed unlike a standard standalone react video. I cannot speak on behalf of the original producer of this project, BronyBassCannon, in which to say what his original intentions and direction with the project were, but he has fully entrusted me with taking his place, as after Apple Family Reunion aired, he became too busy to work on it adequately, which caused a half-year gap between new episodes until I took over. Because of that time gap, the, lack of a better word, steam or hype this series had when it started with Season 3, alongside Bronies React (even managing to be posted on EqD alongside it, if you didn't know), has temporarily stagnated due to the unexpected hiatus, along with other serial reactors (some of which actually started with our series, like KireIkasu and Andyanamic's "German bronies react") having grown non-similar channels in our absence.
Nevertheless, we are still the only channel not focused on having a set cast, allowing ANYONE interested to submit a video, be they brony or not. I intend on this being a series that, as time goes on, could be the definitive alternative and spin-off to Bronies React, and, seeing how we seek to cover EVERY new episode rather than just the bookends, maybe even more than that.
