How did I get on ponies? Um... this thread, actually. Congrats on a successful assymalation.DJDarque said:Disclaimer: This thread is intended to be a discussion between people who are fans of the show. If you have nothing nice to say about the show or about us, please simply leave.
Ok, so as we all know, there have been (quite) a few threads the past week or so asking us why we love this show. There is nothing wrong with other people being curious, but it has been difficult to discuss amongst ourselves without derailing someone else's thread.
I would simply like to ask you all a few questions related to yourself and this show.
How did you first get into the show?
How deep into the fandom do you get?
Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you will go?
What is your favorite pony-related picture?
As for me, I first got into My Little Pony in a "what's with all the ponies?" threads around a month and a half ago. I had heard of it before, but I finally decided to see what was so great about a show about cartoon ponies. Obviously I liked it.
I get more into the fandom than I originally thought I would. I often find myself on Equestria Daily reading fanfics (even the notorious grimdark one) which is something I've never done. I especially enjoy the authors who create their own little canon within the show's universe. I enjoy seeing the fanart that other people can draw and it makes me wish I could draw as well. I also really enjoy all the remixes and music that people create based on the show.
As for places I will not venture, I refuse to read clopfics or look at Rule 34. I also cannot bring myself to shoehorn words such as "anypony" or "somepony" into my speech.
Lastly, my favorite picture would have to beAlso, if your pictures happen to be large, please spoiler them. I makes less clutter and it helps the page load faster.
Feel free to ask each other more questions as well.
EDIT: A new question, originally asked by Dumori. What is your favorite moment or episode? Or both?
How did you first get into the show?
I first got into the show when the original my little pony series was on tv when I was small and I've followed it ever since.
How deep into the fandom do you get?
I'm pretty deep into the fandom, watched all the episodes and own a few my little pony models stretching from the first generation ponies up to the most current ones
Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you will go?
I haven't found a limit yet
What is your favorite pony-related picture?
Theres one of applejack stuffing her hoof into twilights mouth that always makes me laugh, but I cant find it at the moment

Okay that one is pretty freakin' cool! Great job!Lord Beautiful said: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: Saw some topics and I was like "what the fuck, ponies?" Saw a few episodes and I was assimilated accepted into the herd.
How deep into the fandom do you get? Not too deep. Some of the fan made pictures are fecking hilarious but no fanfic or anything of the sort.
Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you will go? Not much deeper than I am now unless I have a good reason to.

Well, lets see...
I first got introduced to the show right here on the Escapist. Someone made a thread talking about MLP, and out of curiousity, I checked it out. At first, I thought they were talking about the ORIGINAL MLP, so I was somewhat confused why it so many people were raving about it. I soon discovered the new show, and the rest is history.
As for how deep into the fandom I get, I've seen every episode, I've made a few pony pics, I'm a member of the MLP group here... and that's about it.
I don't think I'll go much deeper down the rabbit-hole (er, pony-hole), in terms of fandom. I don't write fanfiction, I can't draw, and I don't think I'll ever change my avatar to a pony (not because I wouldn't WANT to, but because I love Excel Saga, and I've never seen another Excel Saga avatar on this site. Gotta be unique).
Favorite pony pic? Easy:

1. A couple of my classmates were talking about it and to cut a long story short it escalated from there, in a manner typical of animation students at my school. That's when I actually started watching the show.
2. I watch the show.
3. I watch the show.
4. Everyone else has already posted some pretty good ones. By The Beard Of Celestia's pretty good.

1) How did you first get into the show?
I was a little girl in the 80s. I got my first My Little Pony when I was four. I still have her. She is worth several hundred dollars on E-Bay, but I shall not sell her.
I watched the original My Little Pony cartoon, and it was the best thing ever. The Smurfs could suck it.
Some years later, I also enjoyed the Powerpuff Girls.
When I learned that the creator of Powerpuff Girls had created a reboot of My Little Pony, I decided I needed to learn more.
And it was actually quite good. ^^ And they brought back Applejack! She's one of the originals from the 80s. ^^ I own an original Applejack, again from my childhood. And now I own a brand new Applejack from the new series. ^^
2) How deep into the fandom do you get?
I've been collecting My Little Ponies since I was 4 years old. My collection is worth thousands of dollars. I pay yearly insurance to protect my Pony investment.
3) Do you have limits on how deep into the fandom you will go?
Apparently not. See 2 above.
4) What is your favorite pony-related picture?
My avatar. It combines my love of My Little Pony and my love of Mass Effect. ^^
Edit: Although that picture of Rainbow Dash and Applejack cuddling is awfully cute. There need to be more cute pony lesbians.

90s? We don't speak of the .... 90s version.... ugh.Seneschal said:
The 80s version kicked so much ass, it... kicked ass. Gods I'm too tired for metaphors right now.
The new show is like the 80s version plus the Powerpuff Girls - two things that are both awesome, meeting in a grant conjunction of awesomeness. And ponies.
I first got into it because of Pony threads here.
My fandom isn't deep enough for fiction, but is just deep enough to get me to draw.
Watching, posting in threads such as this and drawing is my limit.
My favorite picture is my own.
She needs a name.
But it's based off of this one.
