To those who keeps saying that M.A. Larson didn't write the episode, but only gave his idea for it (referencing his interviews).

Think about it logically.

Firstly, he had to write the script to some extent, to create the core of this episode.

Also, since he was the only one credited for the episode, it should be obvious he did the biggest job. He probably wrote a some crude version of the script, and it just wasn't edited until now.

As for why he was saying he gave only the idea in his interviews, it's because he knows how the fandom can react to such jabs in their direciton (even if it was aimed at a vocal minority) and he also didn't want to be a target for the fandom to complain on his twitter or email. He's not writing for the show anymore after all. And he doesn't want to deal with bronies criticizing his writing.

It's obvious that he would be credited alongside with some other writer in the episode, if he actually didn't do more than just giving the idea for it. :)
