So Friendship is Magic is ending after next season, but that doesn't mean we have to let the story end!  DHX is no longer going to be producing pony after Season 9, but who's to say we can't?  I know

I think this is a fabulous idea I always had the Idea of Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich to start dating and get married someday and have a baby I couldn't imagine Pinkie Pie a mother I would be overjoyed to see that and Cheese Sandwich a father and I would love to see what their beautiful baby would look like I have a Picture representing that and I found a great story on the subject

@NathanW200  I made this thread to provide information for anyone who might be interested in joining the project.  It's not really a place to be stating episode ideas...

However, I do know of a thread where that is the topic (link).  Though I might recommend putting that story part into a spoiler block.

 The story has been placed into a spoiler box as it was taking away excessive amounts of space without being pertinent to the topic at hand.

@NathanW200 it is very important to make sure that what you post coincides with the topic's theme and the original poster's requests, especially when large amounts of text come into play. Please do take that into consideration for upcoming posts.

This idea looks good on paper, but I have a few fears.

 

1. Ships. I'm afraid people are going to force ships and romance in a show that isn't supposed to have either. This show isn't supposed to be romantic, and putting the power into the hands of the fans will mean ships and OC's everywhere.

2. Authenticity. This would be a totally different team. Things would be handled differently. The show wouldn't be the same.

3. Copyright. You will need to take caution not to be shut down by copyrights. Watch out, and make sure you don't break any of these rules. If you do, it could be game over.

 

However, if you can make quality episodes that seem just like the real show, then I'll most certainly watch them.:)

But it's going to be REALLY hard.

I totally understand where you're coming from.  (I kinda like posts like these, as it give me an opportunity to explain/expand upon some things not present in the mane post)

1.  Ah yes, the crazy world of ships.  Too be honest, I too agree that FiM is about friendship, not romance, and having a lot of it in there would be....undesirable...for lack of a better word.  If I decide to open the writing to idea and script send-ins, the writing/ideas used would be heavily regulated, so one would definitely see little to no romance in the show.

2.  You are right about that unfortunately.  No matter how a show is run, every crew member has their influence, and an entirely different crew would have their own affect, so no matter how much regulation I put on the production for this project, there is no way around the fact that there will be a different flare to these fan-made episodes over the official ones.

3. True.  But not really for FiM.  I might have to look out when it comes to [Spoilers for Episodes I'm planning! (2020 Edit: Content removed to avoid false perceptions about the project's direction.)]

but in regards to FiM, I'm actually only going to officially release any content of this project if I actually am granted legal permission by Hasbro.  I know of a place, where people can submit a form in an e-mail to Hasbro, requesting permission to use their IP.  I plan on doing this, and if I am denied permission, I'm just going to have to accept that (then eventually pitch my 'backup' idea show to NBC or CBS or something, which would use reworked [ponyized/real-world] versions of all 60 episode ideas of mine).

1. You say 'having a lot of that in there would be undesirable'. Any shipping would be undesirable for me. It's not what the show is about, and fans of certain ships would be pissed when their favorite ship isn't shown. Stick to the canon ships, like shining armor and cadence. 

Frequent romance+MLP=NOT GOOD.

2. It doesn't matter to me if the show is different. That's gonna happen. But I just want to make sure you keep MLP authentic if you end up doing this. Don't deviate too far from the examples set by the current team.

3. Maybe subtle references to that game would be alright. But don't make an episode outright themed around it. Just throw in a few tiny references, just like MLP did with metal gear solid.

@Bas My Logic for this is: When you have no info, plug in your own! :sneer:  (Berry is Scoot's adopted mother anyway in my headcanon.)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but they won’t say yes. You’re not just asking to use their IP you’re asking to basically take over their show. They aren’t going to say yes, perhaps it’s better to accept the reality now that the show is going to end.

@woodchunks66  Ah!  A background music artist!  Something I hadn't added to the list because I was sure how I was going to do the music at the time!  I definitely need a background music artist, since I deemed it would be the best route to take (over trying to edit background music from the actual show, or using background music from other shows).  This would be one of the last parts of making an episode though :huh:, so I'd have to get back to you later on doing a demo bit (and by later I mean it's probably going to be several months due to how slow I'm gathering a crew :dry:).   Glad someone offered for this position though (despite me not even listing it), so I'll keep you in mind for sure.

I'd stick more to official cannon. If you want to, I can see RD taking over the role of a pegasister instead of Berry.. Might play out similiar, they are close already. You could bring up RD's parents as well.

There's something I want to say in response to that, but it'd spoil an episode...

Unfortunately, it has to end at some point, before it becomes not worth watching. I really don't want the series to become stale, and get seasonal rot overtime that just kills it's quality by around season 11.

Did....you even read the main post?  I wasn't talking about actually keeping the official series on the air, I mean "keep it going" as in the story, through this whole fandom-episode project I'm trying to start.

It's almost understandable that the mistake would happen because there has been a rise in posts related to the show potentially ending. Add to that the activity here surfaced the topic at the top "Recently Posting In" block, and it's easy to miss that this is a Creative Resources topic. 

Anyway, I'm glad to see this may still be a thing. :)

That makes sense but I still don't understand why people don't read the first posts in threads. It's one of my pet peeves
