Lauren is only a factor when her concepts are not respected, you know seeing how she helped make the series popular in the first place. I think that was one of the reasons that she left (with other factors); her ideas were getting canned, and Hasbro wanted her to do things their way. It might not have been like that but it's similar.

As for the writing of Lauren, she created the show yes, but at the same time she didn't do it alone. Keep in mind, she technically only wrote 4 episodes (the premiere of the series and Return of Harmony), and the rest she oversaw. The concepts like characters and lore were all her, but the writers themselves wrote the majority of the episodes. Lauren was just the fuel that kept it running.
