1) If I can not point to the source, information will not be included.
2) The show cannon trumps other cannon.
3) Fan speculation will not be included without an explanation of how it is derived from cannon.
4) Posts will fall into one of several categories
5) I will not seek to disprove theories around the show
These rules fleshed out into more detail can be seen below.
1) If I can not point to the source, information will not be included.
Examples of sources: show, comics, books, writers of the show, ect.
Examples of non sources: other fans, speculations, critiques of the show, ect.
2) The show cannon trumps other cannon.
As the show is the primary source it's cannon shall trump all others.
The list of other cannon in order of how it trumps goes as follows:
show
writers of the show
book/comic
deleted scenes/dialogue/ect.
3) Fan speculation will not be included without an explanation of how it is derived from cannon.
Fan speculation does not count as a credible source unless backed by other credible sources meaning I can use their conclusions as stepping stones to further conclusions as long as their citations check out.
4) Posts will fall into one of several categories
1.History/Folklore
Looking at the stories from my little pony pertaining to past events that may or may not have occurred as shown in the show. (ex. Nightmare Moon, Hearts and Hooves day) These posts will try to establish how these events happened as well as how they effect modern pony culture with the help of cannon sources
2.Timeline
Piecing together a coherent timeline for the events in the Lore of My Little Pony using cannon sources. They will avoid solidified years and times as the show does not state solid dates, only relative ones which is how the timeline will be formatted.
3.Head cannon
Using lore from mlp these posts will speculate to fill in the gaps that the show hasn't. Beware that while based on facts from the show it is likely that they will often dismiss the cannon of the comics and books. Think of these as a source of inspiration for your own head cannons or just a story to read.
4.Blog status updates
These posts will let you know about hiatuses, when you can expect more posts, and other important information about the blog.
5) I will not seek to disprove theories around the show
My goal is to learn about the Lore and make my own theories, not to prove or disprove existing ones. However I cannot help that if in my search to learn more about the lore that I uncover something that disproves a theory be it one of your own or a common one from the fan base.
