Yep, I'm late on the Tumblr Spotlight once again, con season has had me busy as heck getting ready and running every which way so I have been a bit distracted. After EFNW is over I think I'll have some more time for these and Artist Spotlights so let's hope for the best!
Another interesting mix this time around as we look at some OCs, Flutterbat, G1, and more!
As always, if you have a tumblr you would like to share, whether it is your own or someone elses, please make sure to send it my way at calpain@equestriadaily.com or my Twitter for review and filing. Mature themed ones (PG-13) are welcome as well!
Update: If you have been featured before and were in hiatus and are coming back you can inform me at calpain@equestriadaily.com! I am starting a section at the end of spotlights that will point out tumblrs coming out of hiatus so people can check them out.
Now on to the tumblrs!
