How Do You Spend Your Dry Season?

[EcchiChibi 85]

Rewatch all the episodes, collect more pony merch, save up for a pony plushie.

 

I also plan on repainting some blind bag ponies into Warhammer and Warmachine miniatures.

[Jemboi 127]

I'm doing what I always do... hang out with my significant other, chill with my pets and play video games. Tha life!

[Talemage 47]

Trying to go under the impression that there will be no season three so when it actually does come out, I'll be happier than ever.

What pony-related stuff you do to keep you going during the dry season (in between season 2 and 3)?

 

Edit: To clarify, what pony-related things do you do?

 

Also, (if you were a brony long enough) what did you do between season 1 and 2?

I don't see a single way to answer this other than, 'everything'. DeviantART for art, FIMFiction for fanfiction, google images for memes and other funny image sources, Youtube for everything from clips to animations. The internet is crawling with pony content. There's so much in fact, that it's incredibly easy to stumble upon new things you've never seen before, though you've been searching for months. I kind of shake my head when people moan about not being able to wait for the next season to come out already, because to me, they're not taking full advantage of the depth of this fanbase's talent.

 

Like I've always said, the show is the roots in the earth that start it, and the fandom and community, and the magnificent things it creates, is the rest of the tree. People act like there's not much to do other than the show, and I guess for some who aren't into stories or art or anything that's indeed true, but that's a bit sad looking from where I am. I got into the show months ago and I'm still as every bit patient about season 3 as I ever was, and would have had another several months in me, if it had taken that long.

 

tl;dr, my answer is everything. The community, and what it produces across the internet, as a whole.

haha he said "dry season"

my dirty mind.

 

I keep going with my life, its not like MLP is the only thing in my life.

[EryDash 27]

I'm not done with watching season 1 yet, so I don't know the answer to that yet. I just hope someone put season 3 up on Youtube.

[Cadence Sparkle 102]

Between seasons 1+2 I spent ponifing EVERYTHING! And between season 2+3 i'm making pony videos!

Heh, I didn't think of it like that...

Drawing the ponies, making up letters to Celestia, and work on this sprite collection i'm working on.

Oh don't worry, the guys who made the show decided it's okay (I think) to put episodes on youtube.

Did you make that Rainbow Dash sprite in your signature? I have to say, it looks really good

[letterone 1,204]

Like Chaotic said, everything. I do everything. I find pony pictures on deviantART, watch pony-related videos, do my own pony art and music, and buy some merchandise. Yup.

[FedoraMemes 582]

tl;dr

 

I pretty much do the same. I check out all of the stuff that the community produces, such as the music, the art, the stories, and of course, the memes. The thing I love about the community is that we are all so creative and talented.

[~Chaos~ 3,967]

Chaotic makes some great points, so basically the same, there are so much things this fandom creates everyday! I don't see how you could get bored waiting, plus the waiting is part of the excitement, it will make season 3 more enjoyable when it finally does come.

[notdog1996 315]

I translate for my fansub team Silver Zero Subs. For the wait between season 1 and 2, I only had to wait for 1 month and I don't remember doing anything special.

No, sadly. Right now i'm working on the bases, the Rainbow Dash sprite is from a deviantartist (that is not me, since I don't have an account yet )

 

Back on topic, I actually forgot to mention that I am attempting to get my dad into the show. I wish to get him in before Season 3, that's my primary goal.

I join mlpforums.com, begin to learn how to draw ponies with Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Paint Tool SAI, and write fanfictions (not read, only write).

 

Also, anime.

Wow that's kind of cool, a brony dad I hope you get him into the series, they are quite funny and adults can watch cartoons too.

[Bari 7,023]

I'm here, only the forums. In between posts, I read fanfics and look at fanart. That's about it....

[Wolf Angel 30]

Lets see, during the dry spell between season 1 and 2; I re-watched season 1 episodes, recolored some ponyta/rapidash sprites to make them look like the ponies, discovered EQD and lurked it for merch. news/game news/"interesting stuff" news, and watched some PMVs.

 

 

During this dry spell?

I still lurk EQD for merch., games, and "interesting stuff" news, re-watch episodes, re-watch old PMVs that I liked, draw my ponysona, play pony games, look at funny pony pictures (like that brony-memebase site thingamabob), listen to some pony music, and that is pretty much it.

 

For the most part I don't care much for fan-art; I've never really liked looking at it. *shrug* Same for fanfics, though I have listened* to some (*I like having things read to me instead of reading it myself. /lazy) Fan-made pony music is hit-or-miss for me, and I don't usually go looking for some unless I'm really, really, bored. Same for PMVs.
