BronyDays chairman Q&A!

So, for you guys who just can't get enough pony here in the UK how about attending BronyDays, the French Brony convention to be held in October this year!

Now, it'll be great to get the word out about the convention and to raise awareness in the UK. After the break we have a Q&A with the chairman of BronyDays, containing tons of information about the convention and more!

Anicon Radio!

Recently I appeared on the podcast Anicon Radio! We talked about this site, bronies and various other interesting topics such as Google Glass and Nvidia's upcoming game console. The hosts, Liam and Ed are pretty awesome and are intending to introduce a brony section into their show every week!

Response to the fandom's negativity

I didn't really want to write about this.. nor am I even really compelled to do so either. I just felt it might be of some interest for some people, or at least something to keep me entertained during this train journey I have found myself on. Now, you all obviously must know by now that the Equestria Girls trailer has been released, if not, here it is again.

My opinions on this? As suggested in my previous post about EqG, I loved it. Looking just slightly deeper than what the trailer gives you there is definitely a pretty good overall story for the movie that relates to the show canon and mythology.

Equestria Girls Trailer!!!!!

Probably the best snap shot! I have to say.. I am speechless. It was pretty amazing! Seriously, there is nothing wrong with it, like at all. The human animation might not be as amazing as what we're used to, it's a little more on the lines of Littlest Pet shop, but the art is far higher quality than the promo shots!

Something interesting is the actual pony scenes were very very cinematic, so even if you dislike the whole highschool setting in the human world I think you'll definitely enjoy the beginning and closing scenes!

Buck: Legacy Card game to appear at MCM London!

So I just opened tumblr for whatever reason and I noticed the MCM logo! To my surprise it was from the Buck: Legacy card game's blog. http://buck-card-game.tumblr.com/

They're having a table this year at the MCM London Comic Con! So be sure to check them out, apparently they'll be having some special gifts up for grabs!

Equestria Girls, we're kind of Magical!

So, the dreaded date June 16th is certainly around the corner. That date is in fact the release of MLP:FiM - Equestria Girls. Now for those who are keeping up to date with this should know that it's being released in US cinemas, though I'm not overly certain how many cinemas that'll be! I'm pretty sure it's mostly a straight to DVD release but we'll have to wait and see. I don't really want to have to watch it from a shaky recording on an iPhone, as that would totally suck. Hopefully we'll be seeing a DVD rip or it broadcast on the HUB not long after the release date. Now I know a lot of you aren't overly excited about this and yes I do agree the designs of the humanised ponies aren't fab but it really is a case of just giving it a go. I think a lot of us are a little disheartened by it as we haven't really had much news, there hasn't even been a trailer yet. The setting might be a little odd, Highschool wasn't all of our favourite times of our lives. However an interesting piece of info says that EVERYPONY has a human counterpart. This'll be interesting to see, though for all we know Celestia will be the head master of the school! If such is the case, Luna just has to be the uber cool science teacher with a passion for Astrometry or something equally bizarre.

Ello there Manechester!

So, last Sunday saw a rather fantastic brony meet in the grand city of Manchester! Definitely a good one I have to say, it practically lasted three days for myself and the other organisers, haha! Was an amazing weekend and I really can't wait for the next one, as I am sure most of the attendees are eager for the next one as well.

The UKoE feedback thread can be found here! We appreciate your feedback!!

Some significant points include the quiz, where poor old Cheesey got bombarded by blindbags and various other pony merch as retaliation to his rather tricky first question! Blueflow with Mareplay UK made an appearance, along with many other fantastic vendors! There was the fan fiction contest and the art contest took on a different twist this time with the task being to draw CatBug! You're probably best off checking Cheesey's write up on the UKoE for a more insight view on the event!

Till next time!

Introducing our tumblr!

Today i'm happy to announce our epic venture into the pony tumblrverse with our new tumblr blog!

Led by the artist behind Not-So Royal Twilight and Rarity's Dresses (Be warned as these blogs are somewhat grimdark!). Hopefully we'll be seeing some interesting content and reblogs pop up on our tumblr over the next few days!

Fan fiction: The Great War

[OC][Dark]

Ok well this is a fairly interesting one we received during the /mlp/ thread. It's a fan fiction but has a few assets to go along with it. It's written by Dreamlander, back in September after /mlp/ demanded he write more, he did just that! This is quite a long one, but on first peek it seems worth the read! The story appears heavily OC and military taking on a film script style of writing.

The Great War: Day Zero This is the first part of the main story, read on from here!

Music: Out West and Albion's theme!

Following our /mlp/ thread, one of the submissions we received was this rather lovely piece of instrumental music from musician Linx. Inspired by Apploosa, the frontier of Equestria and everypony's favourite cousin, Braeburn! His YouTube channel can be found here, I do suggest you check his other songs out!

Also one of our lovely new Facebook page admins has kindly made our mascot, Albion, a theme tune! Check it out after the break!

Big thank you to /mlp/

They said I was insane, I showed them otherwise! Yesterday I took a gamble and made a thread on /mlp/ about Bronies UK and this here website! I really feel it's a shame that most other websites and communities involved with Bronies seem too scared to dare tread on the infamous website known as 4chan. It is where our fandom was born after all. Anyway, the thread was hugely insightful, quite entertaining, gained us a few submissions and even got myself an interview with ANI-Con Radio. This was the first ever time I had posted  as a namefag.. feels dirty.. I've always been a lurker.

I think i'd love to do a Q&A on /mlp/ in the near future and hopefully get a few others helping out. We'll see about that though!

De Lancie announced for BUCK 2013

As you all should know by now, the ever amazing John De Lancie has been announced for BUCK 2013! He was set to come last year but sadly couldn't make it due to being summed by the Q continuum for various reasons. However, as I do believe his fellow Q's have ordered him to attend BUCK this year where i'm sure he'll be putting on one hell of a show! I for one, am very excited!

Fan Fiction:- The Equestria Games: First Blood

[Crossover][Sad][Dark][Adventure]

Today we have a pony rendition of the hunger games. This is a pretty long read through, even in it's incomplete state it is over half the size of a full novel! It appears to be well written and if you're a fan of the hunger games it'll be definitely worth a read.

The story follows the the failed revolution against the capital, now two ponies between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district must be offered to compete in the Equestria Games, a fight to the finish.

Chapters 1-26: Fim Fiction

Happy April 1st!

So today's been quite the day of ponytastic pranks and jokes. I feel bad for not attempting to do something similar, sadly though i'm pretty rubbish at pranks!

We've had EQD reporting on some insane things, Welovefine selling pony perfumes and the twitterverse has been very active with tons of silly and fun tweets by the community and show staff. And no Google, I don't want to sniff you!
