How did you first get into the show? - It was initially through Know Your Meme. I was scrolling through the memes when I noticed the MLP:FiM was amongst those listed. I was curious as to why that was, so I decided to check it out. The article made me interested in the whole fanbase v. hater conflict that was going on due to the humor I found in it. The pictures I also found to be pretty humorous. Eventually I decided to check out some episodes and now
How deep into the fandom do you get? - Probably will stay out of the shipping fics. Not really that much of a dedicated shipper, so I tend to keep away from that stuff.
Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you will go? - Er... this feels like the last question. I think I answered it pretty well there... I guess I'll stay from certain fucked up fanfics as well. I'm sure some of you know at least one that I'll be avoiding.
What is your favorite pony-related picture? - Hmm... I don't know if I could choose just one, so I'll post a couple of my favorites instead.

You always have some of the best pictures in the hater threads. Just thought I'd tell you.

I guess I specialize in reaction pics. Oh 4chan, how you've taught me so much...

Of course the number of pony pictures I have has exploded over the last week. I don't think that keeping them all in one folder is enough anymore, I need to organize them further for easier access.

1. Accidently saw the Fluttershy singing Pinkie Pie song. It didn't have that ugly art style of the earlier series(thank you anime influence) so I didn't immediately right it off. By ep 3 I realized this show was gender neutral, by ep 7 I was hooked, by ep 15 it became my favorite show. Network TV sucks, by the way.

2. I'll eventually buy the BD's, I don't get into anything else really. My hope is enough people will start wearing the t-shirts 'ironically' to point where it's no longer ironic.

3. I'm afraid if I delve any deeper I'll be like Natalie Portman's character in Black Swan and find myself turning into a pony or something else crazy. I stay far away from the fanfic stuff, I'm a canon or bust type of guy. Some of the fanart is pretty good, though.

4. Any frame from episode 15.

I heard they want Weird Al to come on. Maybe this can lead to some real talent to come on the show.

How did I get into the show? Truth be told, I just wanted in on all the jokes. I'm a bandwagon jumper, that's all there is to it. It's a great show but only compared to everything else in it's genre. The characters are dynamic so it's fun to play around with them.

1. I heard about it in many places. Figured I'd give it a look.

2. I'm a devoted fan, but nowhere near the fanaticism necessary to read or write fanfiction.

3. I will never read or write fanfiction.

4. You'd better prepare yourself. This image is so awesome your balls may explode.

How did you first get into the show?
Well the first images I saw of them were from Lauren Devaintart account (fyre-flye) when she announces her show. At the time I thought nothing more than I liked her art style. Months later someone made "who is your favourite Pony" topic on here (it was one of the early ones). It was that and one of the channels I check on Youtube had favour the Flutterguy song had spark my interest. As typical it started with watching abit of episode 1 then I dismiss but then I watch it again, then on part 2, episoder 3 and etc.

How deep into the fandom do you get?
I admit to saying that I want to own a toy of them (I from the UK which the show haven't been aired over here yet). Ok granted I won't get their standard toy (combing their hair and tail) since they are not accurate to the show apperances.

Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you will go?
I stay clear of all rule 34, shipping of all kind and any other "wrong" fanart of them.

What is your favorite pony-related picture?

By the way, I have nothing against people who want to write fanfic, I just personally can't get into it.

How did you first get into the show?
Bah, it's all a blur. I remembered seeing somebody talk about MLP at some point during March Mayhem in some random post, and wondering what that was about. Then, maybe three weeks ago, I was on KnowYourMeme for some other reason when I saw MLP was trending. I looked it up, but again dismissed it as trivial, and something I would never bring myself to watching. Needless to say, that didn't happen. A few days later, it was late at night and I decided, ahh, what harm can seeing one episode do? At least I'll know what the fuss is about. I finally went to sleep at 2:00 am that night, after watching episdoes through 9. It's all downhill from there.

How deep into the fandom do you get?
Well, other than making my avatar on here a pony, and spreading the word of MLP to just about every animation fan that I know of (and making a considerable amount of converts :D), I tend to read fanfics when I can ('Cept Cupcakes. I hear that's terrible and I don't want to find out why), look up fan art as I come across it, and listen to/watch the various Youtube videos people have up of Trailers/Remixes of music from the show/other stuff like that. Also, I've memorized Winter Wrap Up. All in all, I'm a fairly devout brony :D

Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you'll go?
I'm never going purchase any merchandise, and I stay away from anything Rule 34 related with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole. I also usually avoid shoehorning in extraneous pony lexicon (though the occassional one isn't impossible to see), and I'm probably not going to be a big fan content contributer (though it's not completely out of the question).

Favorite Pony Pic?
Though there are LOTS of honorable mentions, I go with this
