My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Fluttershy How did you find MLP Forums?: Googled the term. I'm bored on Christmas break so I'm looking for some fun online hangouts.
How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I was pretty disinterested in the show at first, but one of my friends eventually linked me enough videos for one of them to catch my interest. I think it was the fan content that gave it the added depth I fell in love with, because that's the difference between a cartoon and a truly immersive story, fantasy, or fan base.
I'm way too old for cartoons (lies! never too old!) but watch them all the time anyway, study as a hobby but never seem able to focus long enough on one thing, and want to work either in the field of technology or language.
Fluttershy is my favorite because I go through the whole shy/awkward thing myself. If I had to stop being a hermit and befriend someone, she's the kind of person... pony... character... who I'd love to meet.
