Nightly Megathread #27

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.

Miniature Discussion post #7

A staring contest for the history books

Finally! We are done with all miscellaneous/time-sensitive orders of business! The suggestions of the first six discussion posts will be used to guide and influence the development of this blog. Many excellent suggestions were made; In the coming days we will consider these ideas - play around with them and tweak them - to see what works best on this blog.

Now we can finally get to the fun discussions, that weigh less on the future of this blog! Hooray!

So one christmas break, way back  in 2010, I was browsing KnowYourMeme when I happened upon a brand-new but wildly active new page. It was about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I read through the page for a while and thought the whole thing odd for a few moments, but I was bored and open-minded, and it was vacation, so I decided to look into it. A few days later, I had watched the 14 episodes that were out at the time. It was when I learned of Lauren Faust's original motivations for making the show that I decided to really own up to the label of "brony", in support of the show. I valued her drive to challenge the stereotypes of our society, and wanted to support that. And that is how I came to consider myself a brony.

How did you all start considering yourselves bronies - or perhaps more broadly, do you? Is the term an extra and unnecessary label to you? Or is it a way of life? Or perhaps something else?

All I can say is that these mashups are awesome, and were all uploaded this month... Check them out after the break (or not if that's your forte...)
