My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Twilight Sparkle

How did you find MLP Forums?: Funny, I'm an author who wrote a novel about a boy who becomes a brony, and my publisher pointed me here. I've watched the community but have been shy about participating for a long time. But I guess that's changing. Down the rabbit hole I go!


How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I been watching since season one, thanks to my kids. It only took one episode for me to recognize how great the writing and world was—those things alone are enough to hook a writer, but the animation was also so fantastic. I have always been an anime/animation fan so MLP fit all the bills and then some. Now I'm a bigger fan than all my kids, ha!

Well, I'm an author with 6 published novels under the name Natalie Whipple, and my newest novel, My Little Brony: An Unofficial Novel about Finding the Magic of Friendship is coming out next week under the name K. M. Hayes. I've always loved writing and reading and just good stories, so when I found MLP it was love at first episode. I've also had the awesome chance to write for a video game called Torment: Tides Of Numenera.

 

Besides being an author, I guess I'd just say I'm a total nerd? I grew up watching anime (back when it wasn't as cool and accesible as it is now), and I also learned how to draw in anime style because I just thought it looked so cool and those stories captured me as a teen. Now I'm also majorly into Kdrama as well.

 

I also love playing video games and am currently way, way into Guild Wars 2. I play mostly world vs. world and it's been fun to have and guild and all that. I'm also a huge fan of League Of Legends and watch the pro leagues religiously. The old school RPGs like the Final Fantasy franchise also had a really big impact on my writing.

 

So yeah, that's me. I've been on here for a couple days checking things out, so I figured it was time to get up the courage to introduce myself:)

Now I'm a bigger fan than all my kids, ha!

 

I know this feeling very well myself. My teenage daughters were also instrumental in me becoming a fan. Of course I did end up reciprocating as they are now Star Wars and Who fans. :lol:

Judging by your avatar, is it safe to assume that you're a maverick adventurer/archaeologist in your spare time?  ;)

 

Welcome to the forums, and glad to have you here.  Very happy to see a published author of all things joining our lovely little community, especially seeing as I'm both an MLP fanfiction writer myself and also run Poniverse's Fimfiction group (obviously you're leagues ahead of fanfiction what with your extensive list of publicized work  ^_^).  Feel free to check out our little group if you get the chance: Poniverse Fimfiction

Thanks so much guys! I'm super excited to be here. It's been so fun already.

 

Batbrony, I just wanted to say I think fanfic is awesome, and I wouldn't say I'm leagues ahead of it! There's a lot of well-written and smart and awesome fanfic out there, and it's a testament to how impactful a story can be, that others want to also create in that world. While I haven't written MLP fanfic, I definitely have thought of it just because there's so much to be explored. I have, though, drawn some of my favorite ponies in anime form, for kicks:)

Oh that's very kind and gracious of you to say.  :blush:   And I know exactly what you mean, the level of quality that one can find, if you search carefully enough, in MLP fanfiction out there is astounding, and always pushes me to attain the best level of quality that I can in my own work.  Fimfiction as well is a rather wonderful site in that it simply blows most other fanfiction sites out of the water in how well-structured and organized it is.  And ooooooo, anime ponies, that sounds simply splendid!  :D
