I don't really use that term, but I became a fan of the series like... uh... (according to my about me) sometime in 2015 or 2016. Yeah I had seen "Escape from Midnight Castle" movie some long time ago when I was a kid. But that was it until the year above lol. I had seen alot of stuff about it, and at the time I was watching different shows and what not. (along with my other hobbies like Video Games.) Eventually, I decided to check it out and, tbh, I was pretty quickly hooked. I'd say at the time it was because at the time, I felt like an outcast. Didn't really have friends or people to talk to. Mostly just trapped in my own little world. I connected with Twilight as she was similar, an outcast, not really used to having actual friends and the like. And I can't deny I do enjoy a good "Frienship is power" story. So I pretty much benge watched the entire thing, (what was available at the time) then I think I watched it again right after that lol. So that's what really connected me to it.
Now, why did I come to this website? Lol, I dunno. been too long.
Where am I now? Well, I've not really watched it that often. I do have the series on DvD (well what's available) but I haven't watched it in awhile. G5 dissapearing didn't really help imo. And I think the show itself started to get a little... stale in the last seasons of FiM and I think part of me wasn't ready for it to be over, yet at the same time, was fine with it. And tbh, only reason I remember about this site is that someone wished me a happy birthday on here and I noticed the email notification on it a few days ago.
