Crowdsourced Q&A #1 Answers

(pic from the Brony Study site)

Roughly a week ago we collected questions for what would be our first Crowdsourced Q&A, from our commenters/viewers, and from the folks on Ponychan (relevant thread deleted, unfortunately), to send to Dr. Edwards and Dr. Redden of the Brony Study research project. They have answered all the questions I gave them. Even the ones I sent rather jokingly, and wasn't sure they would answer. (Thanks, Redden and Edwards, for being so awesome!)

You can find a draft of their answers here, as an FAQ page on their website. And don't miss out on their longitudinal study if you would like to support more research efforts! (information about that study is in their 15th Q&A answer on the FAQ page)

So then, who from the MLP:FIM community would you like us to Q&A in the future? I have a few ideas, but I value your input and will try to pursue as many suggestions as possible. For the foreseeable future of these Q&A's, I will take questions and suggestions from Reddit and Ponychan, as well as from the comments here.

Man, I honestly didn't expect them to answer the joke questions either!
The fact that they do means they have a sense of humor, and I APPROVE OF
the Element of Laughter!

Come on guys! Who should we interview next? I bet I could get Kar and the other bronies who were lucky enough to work with Enterplay.

Though I doubt we could get them, the people behind the brony documentary. The Gameloft team would also be good. I doubt we could get them either.

I've met John and Laurent, albeit breifly, and I've talked with Mike Brockhoff... It's not outside the realm of possibilities.

Okay now I have a question for you: How do you get to meet all these people?

...Internet *Timmy Turner voice*

lol, but in all seriousness, being a brony since the beginning has its advantages, I went to like 3 BroNYCons, I'm lucky as all heck, and I'm good at finding cool people to talk to.

Yeah... Cons have actually been a surprisingly good networking opportunity. I talked for a while with Laserpon3; maybe we could Q&A him. And maybe I can bug him more about nonlinear-optical frequency-doublers... lol.

So how many of these people do you think will actually remember you?

MikeNanotube 104p · 648 weeks ago

Brockhoff and Laserpon3 maybe, and definately Kar (who worked with Enterplay and is all-around awesome). And even if any of them don't remember me, that doesn't put having a Q&A with them out of the question.

Laserpon3 sounds like fun. I'm pretty clueless about laser shows, so perhaps I could get a slight bit more knowledge from that one.

So while I was in my bed trying to drag myself out, I had a stroke of brilliance. What about Chromosome? He's basically the reason this blog is here, and we know he knows about it. We could ask questions about things other than EQD comments too. Acording to his FimFiction he also prereads for EQD and writes fics himself, so we could ask about those things.

Forget those talentless hacks! Lets get some Nick-at-Nite up in here!!!

In all seriousness, I'd like to hear from 2snacks, the animator behind Two Best Sisters Play, and maybe others like Tsubukichan and MysteryBen27. Or even some of the people working on the animation projects. Talking to them to secure interviews for after they release their finish products may be worth looking into.

The guy who's directing Journey of the Spark, I choose you!

My reaction of seeing an answer to my question in the FAQ. Edwards and Redden rock.

As for who to interview next... well, possibly not next, but we could possibly ask Filly Gamez, the team behind Welcome to Ponyville.
