movies/tv Will any Friendship is Magic writer go on to make their own cartoon?

In the animation industry, people who create their own cartoon series typically start as Storyboard artists, writers, etc. for other Cartoons. Before making Gravity Falls, Alex Hirch was a writer for Flapjack. Before creating Chowder, C.H. Greenbalt was a writer for SpongeBob. Before there was the Kids Next Door, Tom Warburton was the lead Character designer for Pepper-Ann. Prior to Steven Universe, Rebecca Suggar was a composer for Adventure Time. And of course before breathing new life into My Little Pony, Lauren Faust was a producer/writer for Powerpuff Girls and Foster's.

 

This brings me to the topic, will any current writer for FiM eventually create their own cartoon? I know Chris Savino is making The Loud House for Nickelodeon, but Chris wasn't a regular writer to my knowledge, he only wrote 2 episodes for Season 1. I'm talking about a writter who has been on the show since season 1.

I don't know much about how these things work but I could definitely see that happening, to be honest I would be surprised if it didn't. I can think of a few writers that I would love to see create something of their own.

Probably. The closest we've gotten to a writer writing their own series is M. A. Larson, but he was instead working on a novel. He would make a pretty great cartoon, however.

 

Of all of the writers, I think that Meghan McCarthy would be the likeliest to make one. She's head of the MLP:FiM staff at the moment, she was written some of the best episodes and she might has a good idea on pitching one thanks to Lauren Faust.
