I actually thought of another one: I don't want too much finality. It'd be nice to have a few loose ends for the fandom to tie up in their own stories.

So, there's plenty of threads that as what people do want in Season 9, but I'm always thinking about what I don't want, so I thought, how about a thread for discussing what you wouldn't want for Season 9. Due to me always coming up with episode ideas (I've got over 50), I tend to get nervous that the show is going to crush my headcanon, so I've got a pretty large list of things I'd rather not see: What I Don't Want to See Because I Already Have My Own Ideas: Scootaloo's Parent(s)/Family Trixie's Past Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon reconciling with each-other (though I'm not opposed to a return for either individually) Chrysalis getting Vanquished/Reformed Any of the Mane 6, Glimmer Gang, CMC, or Spike's ages getting revealed (that doesn't make sense with the existing information presented). Celestia and Luna's Past What I Don't Want to See in General: The Student 6 completely replacing The Mane 6 as the element bearers (I'd be fine if was like a dual-bearer sort of deal, where, say, both Yona or Fluttershy could wield kindness. Extreme Progressive Crap. I probably wouldn't be so annoyed about it if it weren't shoehorned into almost every other modern show I watch. Can we continue to keep it politically clean/morally pure for the last season? Please? A series finale that would otherwise majorly change the status quo (like essentially saying a full goodbye to the Mane 6), or any other kind of ending that would kind of kill a lot of potential for the story to be continued by fans in any way. So what's your own Do Not Want list?

I'm curious about the source of that info, too. (Not that I completely don't believe it, since I already knew DR was approved, and the original release of Snowdrop still exists, just curious where it was stated that Snowdrop had approval.)

That only happens if you don't get prior legal approval. Now granted, they probably won't give legal approval in the first place, but you never know *exactly* what they'll say unless you ask, which is what I plan to do, once a[n unreleased] pilot can get completed.

I've had a similar idea to this, however, instead of it being a collective thing, it would be a centralized source of unofficial fully animated episodes. In fact, I'm actually trying make this an actual thing, it's just the problem of trying to get a team together. I have thought about possibly creating an open idea send-in thing, where episode concepts, scripts, heck even fully scripted *and* storyboarded episode concepts, could be sent in to be looked over and potentially turned into a full episode.

There'll be some who'll go, a lot who stay, and I'm sure there'll still be content made in the fandom. Heck, there might even be a tiny chance that a team in the fandom starts up a spiritual/unofficial Season 10. (If I could gather enough people for a crew in the first place.)

I'd love for it to be real, though at this point I already live my life thinking that Equestria is real, but just currently in an abandoned, slowly dilapidating, shell-of-it's-former-self state; a lifeless time capsule of the 90s, waiting for the return of society. My thought process regarding the show in a nutshell. (My guess is it's everything Spike wrote down over the course of three years [Summer Solstice of 1983 - May/End of School Year 1986].)
