Dark Tempest 125 April 4, 2016 Share April 4, 2016 This is my first actual topic, so bare with me if I post it in the wrong section and if the title is not the best. So i really enjoy this fandom, as it is one of the first major ones that I have been in. I have only been a Brony for a few months now and other than watching the show and listening to some music, I haven't explored much else of this fandom. So I am asking my fellow ponies to give me some suggestions on content I should experience, whether that be some music to listen to, clips and videos to watch, or fanfics to read; I just want to see more of this fandom and I wasn't quite sure where to start. Thank you very much for reading this and offering any suggestions. 2 Signature made by Mentis Soliloquy using an image made by SFyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.F. 1,560 April 4, 2016 Share April 4, 2016 I find that PMVs are a good way to discover new music (whether brony tunes or not), The Collaboratory are a good starting point there. If you are into animation there are some very good ones out there, I highly recommend Lullaby for a Princess by WarpOut- sublime animation there. Argodaemon is a good starting point if you are into more SFM type animations. You've already mentioned the music, so sounds like you got that covered. Also, like it or loath it - EQD is good for some discovery, and can at least put you on the right tracks for finding things that interest you. Hope this helps 4 *Insert deep, intelligent and witty signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Tempest 125 April 5, 2016 Author Share April 5, 2016 Thank you for the suggestions! I will check them out soon. Your recommendations were amazing, I absolutely loved Lullaby for a Princess and I really enjoyed Witchcraft by The Collaboratory. 1 Signature made by Mentis Soliloquy using an image made by SFyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeekySonic 1,150 April 5, 2016 Share April 5, 2016 (edited) Bronies The Musical is kinda cute, in a certain way. I would also recommend the My Little Dashie video, Gamenut321, Pistol Packing Brony vs. Obnoxious Teenagers, FritzyBeat, northgarden, Fallout Equestria, FlutterRex, Vinylicious, and Above Cloudsdale.

The Gear Spinner555 126 April 5, 2016 Share April 5, 2016 Well, i'd recommend The Lost Narrator if ya want some fanfic readings, and ZXInsanity, Jakewhyman, and Trixfordakidz if ya want mind-numbingly WTF vids, and JHaller's "Top Ten Pony Videos" series is a great way to find pony vids of all types! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Accord 6,660 April 5, 2016 Share April 5, 2016 Equestria Daily really is your one stop shop of all things in the brony fandom, music, art, fanfics, and everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pepUBawa3k From what I can recommend personally in terms of my experience. I would recommend the following: -Bronies the extremely unexpected adult fans of my little pony, a documentary about the fandom made by in collaboration with the fans and John de Lancie. -Or I highly recommend Saberspark's Ballad of the Brony. -In terms of musical artists I have a few you can peruse. MandoPony, Wooden Toaster, Living Tombstone, Aviators, Bronyfied, Prince Whatever, Cyril the Wolf. (Yeah I'm old school, brony since season one!) -Specific songs. "Epic AMV, 7 artists" was my first PMV, back before they were even called that. There's also Nightmare Night, Loyalty, Heroes, Beyond Her Tomb, A Long Way from Equestria, Proud to be a Brony, Chain Algorithm - Friends Forever Remix. -Next fics, On a Cross and Arrow, It's a Dangerous Business Going out Your Door, The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, My Little Dashie, Arcadia, and Past Sins all come highly recommended. Of them all though, FALLOUT EQUESTRIA! Seriously, fan of the games or not, that story is one of the BEST stories I've ever read, fanfic or otherwise. I cannot recommend it enough! -Lastly there are some video productions, such as radio adaptations of some of the above fanfics and really good PMVs. One series that really sticks out though is Doctor Whooves Adventures by Pony in a Box productions. Really quality crossover in the spirit of the classic Doctor Who radio dramas. 1 My ponysona: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/steel-accord-r1970 My AMA thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/76698-as-steel-me-andor-oc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffyGoat13 375 April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 - Everything YouTube Bronies have to offer (PMV's, the Anthologies, short animations, JHaller's monthly top tens (haven't checked if these are still running), etc.) - SmileHD (this is worthy of its own category) WARNING: this is gory as hell. - Check Equestria Daily out. It's useful for finding new stuff. That is all. Good day. 1 "I love deadlines.

Flutterbattyyy 331 April 11, 2016 Share April 11, 2016 (edited) Fan music! PMVs (music videos) Animations Art Fanfics Artisan Crafts These are among the most popular things in the fandom. Some of my favorite musicians include, but not limited to, Archie, BlackGryph0n, d.notive, FritzyBeat, Aviators, Silva Hound, AllLevelsAtOnce, Alex S., Wooden Toaster, Zaqho, MicTheMicrophone, etc. Check this playlist of good brony music. I've been compiling and adding to that list for almost 3 years now. Brony Music | Top PicksPMVs are numerous, many of ultra high quality. Some PMVs are in a flashy, special effects style, while others are in a more custom animated, motion graphics style. Just like the music, I have been compiling a list of some of the best PMVs for several years now. Pony Music Videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uEOtdFSBnk Ponies at Dawn album.

Celestial Sloth 369 April 11, 2016 Share April 11, 2016 I'd like to recommend the Two Best Sisters Play series by 2Snacks!

twilight24 323 April 11, 2016 Share April 11, 2016 For me , the love of the show , community, and sense of being accepted and welcomed with open arms by many is a good part of the fandom. I am trying to think of good fics: university days, the most precious gem, my little dashie. Mainly most people are friendly on the forums . Good luck and welcome aboard.
