Okay, so I posted the faqs and questions on the project. I'm sorry that it took me so long to do it. I've been dealing with a lot of personal issues and kinda felt discouraged from pushing forward with this project... Do I still have some supporters? I'm really not good at leading projects... Wish somebody else would lead...

After seeing this video, I can conclude that they're not keeping the girls consistent with the ponies they're assigned to. In the video I watched with these girls, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were the black girls. Either that or they decided to not keep the consistency of what instrument each pony plays in the show. Then again, I was trying to look at the skirt on Rainbow Dash in the first video I saw. It looked like it was suppose to be Rarity's symbol, but the video quality was so bad that I decided to stick with the identification by instrument.

I'm really sorry! I've been away for a few days. e.e; I didn't realize how confused I made everyone on this project. I'll set up some faqs and question and answers later! Maybe tomorrow! Sorry about this...

Cool! Did you maybe get any comments that they'll join?

Yay!! The more people we can get, the better! =/

The idea right now is to develop a story for an episode that puts a positive light on disabled people. Once we get enough support, we can draw Hasbro's attention to this idea and request that they make such an episode.

Hey Scorpion! Thanks for contributing! I've been thinking along those lines as well. Are you going to help support us in this project?

Just think in terms of the typical MLP plot! It's usually kinda like a sandwich transition of events! =P 1. Everyone starts out happy and doing their thing. 2. Suddenly trouble appears and moods are changed. 3. Problem has been resolved and everyone is happy again! xD Edit: Btw! I really need to go sleep! It's past 5! I'll see you tomorrow.... or later today, lol.

xD I don't think we want anyone dying in this story! Lol!

We like you too! Welcome to the herd!

Lol! It doesn't matter! Any story you turn in is good! (As long as it's clean...) I doubt that Hasbro would adopt the story we write! Probably just make their own story based on our idea at most!

Thanks, FoxOsprey! Right now the stage is that we develop our plot and come up with various stories with it! We plan out what's acceptable in the portrayal of Derpy Hooves without her seeming to be offensive and wrong! Just because Hasbro did one "oops" with her doesn't mean she can't ever voice act again! The idea is to show Hasbro how she can be portrayed tastefully. And with enough support, we can draw Hasbro's attention to these collection of stories. We'll need a lot of people to message them to grab their attention.

Lol! It's okay! =P You're forgiven! I'm just pulling your leg a bit, lol, so to speak.

Faqs/questions about this project: This is pretty much a repost of a good section of my introduction, but it gets the message across on what I wanted to talk about and I thought I'd start an official thread for it... Since someone wants to jump right into the project without waiting for others to join in first. *Looks at DarkPony* Lol! I'd be grateful if I could get more support for this! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/amy-keating-rogers-response-to-derpy.html http://mlp.derpynews.com/the-last-roundup-reairs-with-derpy-censored/ http://mlp.derpynews.com/the-last-roundup-reairs-with-derpy-censored/ And let's not forget the great article, "To Derp is to Love. To Love is to Tolerate." http://firestorm-can.deviantart.com/journal/To-Derp-is-to-Love-To-Love-is-to-Tolerate-287553810 Seeing there are people that are mentally disabled, love Derpy, and may even look up to her, shouldn't we have an episode that represents Derpy Hooves in a positive look? We should have an episode dedicated to people that are mentally and physically disabled; and how they're not to be looked down upon! We should request Hasbro to make that episode, and Derpy Hooves should be in it! It's been done before in a PBS episode of Clifford The Big Red Dog where Clifford and his friends met a three legged dog and learn to treat him no differently from other people. Why not one for My Little Pony, a show that teaches tolerance? Here's what I thought for an episode so far: 1. Rainbow Dash formally introduces Derpy Hooves to the ponies when they see her talking to Derpy. 2. Derpy's trademark love of muffins and mail delivery work is shown, but there's another aspect of her that we have not seen; she often visits a class of special need fillies. Often she entertains the fillies and help them see that they can still have a bright future even with their disabilities. (I've also thought of an explanation for her bubble cutie mark and thought she could have an extreme talent in blowing bubbles in all kinds of shapes to entertain the fillies). 3. Derpy will be portrayed to have a lazy eye disorder: either strabismic or anisometropic. She'll be clumsy due to her eyes not giving her good visual aid. She will not be mentally disabled but she could have a learning disability like visual and auditory processing disorder, but that might be a bit much... 4. The Mane 6 spend time and get to know the fillies and Derpy. 5. There's some festival going on in Ponyville that they have to set up. Derpy and the fillies try to help out but the ponies make the mistake of telling them they don't have to partly due to their underestimation of the fillies' abilities and Derpy's clumsiness. 6. Trouble occurs, which the Mane 6 try to fend off, but Derpy and the fillies end up saving the day. So... Anypony that would be into making this happen and ask Hasbro to make this episode? We could discuss further in another thread if enough ponies are interested. So yeah! Since this is "another thread" would anyone else be willing to help and support this project? So far, DarkPony and I discussed that we could create several stories with the similar plot we had in mind: the Mane 6 learning to treat ponies with disabilities like people and not to underestimate them. It'd really help if there were people that actually have disabilities to support us on this project! We need all the input we can get on portraying those with disabilities correctly!

Wait, what? Haha! Alright! Here's another brony hug!
