Talk:My Little Pony Equestria Girls/@comment-2170890-20130508211543

Wait a second; are Hasbro/Studio B directly basing their ideas on fan ideas now? First we have Keep Calm and Flutter On which was not only based on a fan's idea (not an actual fanfiction like I thought), but has a storyline (Discord turning good) that has been used in a lot of fan material. Now there's this kind of Equestria Girls (it will never be the real Equestria Girls to me). Now, not only have human versions of the ponies been drawn before (better than this n my opinion), but the storyline has already been used almost. There is a fan art of a mirror that shows a pony what she'd look like (it was Rarity and Lyra who looked) as a human, so this may have been inspired by that.

Now, I know that late season 1 and most of season 2 had some nice shout-outs to our fandom (but thankfully didn't let it take over what they were doing) they just showed us they knew we existed, and that was enough, they didn't directly make our views canon (Bon Bon and Lyra beign officially friendshipped with each other is the closest we got), they stuck to what they wanted to do, and meerly tipped their hats to us. Lauren actually said that they couldn't read fanfctions as they could use the same stories we have by "accident", but they clearly glanced at them and other fan material in order to show their appreciation for us with shout outs.
