he stepped down a month ago back when we weren't doing as crazy stuff as we are now. I don't think this really shows her current thoughts on the fanbase. |

I'm gonna be excommunicated for this but if that's the case I think that her leaving was a good thing. A writer who insists on complete control over their work will eventually suffocate it.
Well, any creator really. that's what editors are for. they prune the unruly hedge that is the creator to prevent it from becoming too out of hand. If Faust were allowed to run the thing like a god, the show would probably not have been as good as it was in season one. if she was struggling with editors, then she would have done far more damage than good, unfortunately. |

She has stated before that she really didn't care about the "icky stuff" one way or the other. And the rule 34 has ALWAYS been this prevalent. |

Wait did she leave completely? I thought she just stepped down from director but was still involved. |

well, in season 2 she had some involvement. Apparently when they no longer needed her she decided not to do the same lesser role for season 3. |

well if you look at the writers of all the episodes, Faust only wrote the first 2 which in my opinion weren't the best......http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Episodes |

She became Consulting Producer for Season 2, but that job only works on the pre-production phase of the show. After they got past that, her work was done. |

So I guess what she means is she won't be consulting producer for any more season. |
| kanashiikage #257353 1 year ago |
Also people REALLY need to stop saying Faust hates the fandom she attracted with this show.
The "icky stuff" has been around for months and her viewpoints are that perverts gonna perv. Ok that utterly sucked. I'm not doing that again. |

The impression I got wasn't even that she left because she was UPSET at not having that creative power. Just that they no longer needed it from her, so she didn't really have anything else to do on the show. More like she got phased out than there being a power struggle.
I could be wrong of course, I admit I haven't really followed it too closely - it's not a big deal to me who's behind the show as long as it stays awesome. But I always had the impression that her departure was a pretty friendly affair... |

^ Not only that, but she's been consistently defending the fandom and talking about how pleased and amazed she is that it's extended beyond little girls. I have to wonder where people are getting the idea that she hates the fandom when she's always expressed the opposite. |

Why is everyone so upset about Lauren not being director anymore? From what I've heard, Jim Henson hardly ever got the time to work on Fraggle Rock (aside from the occasional Cantus or Convincing John role) and THAT turned out amazing. |

| AdrianBrony #257415 1 year ago |
^ About a week after she announced she left the show. |

damn im late....how long ago was that like..two three months? |
| feather #257485 1 year ago |
I find the rumor that she quit because she's pregnant to be insulting, not only to her but to women in general. I hope the idiot apologized for saying it. |

Good thing she left mate |

From what a Family Guy animator who knows Faust said on EqD, apparently it was mainly scheduling issues that made her eventually step down. As an Executive Producer, she was probably doing a lot of work that was outside of the creative process such as administrative duties and dealing with corporate.
If this was the case and it was keeping her from creatively participating in the show production and was unhappy because of that I can see why she stepped down. |

Lauren has consistently stated that she loves the fandom very much. She has stated time and again that she thinks it's AWESOME that the show has attracted the attention of adults, especially guys. It means that her gamble paid off beyond her wildest dreams. She's actually quite thrilled at the fanbase. :D
She has also said that she feels bad for not being able to respond to each and every comment people leave on her page. She just doesn't have the time! Mrs. Faust is one amazing women. The sort of attention she--and the rest of the crew--has given the fandom is simply unprecedented as far as TV animation goes. |

Kinda off topic, but I feel like a lonely churro because I'm like, the only person who actually liked the pilot episodes better than everything else. |

^You're not lonely!
I liked them as well.You know,is not that I appreciate the "slice of life" episodes,because they are really good for several reasons(except Luna's absence),but the "Mini arcs" like the whole Nightmare Moon affair gave the show that sense of adventure that the show is supposed to have. I actually wish the 2nd season had one of those episodes again.Without leaving the "daily life" aspects we all know. |

225, My Little Magical Girl Anime (with ponies) would have been amazing. |

I actually liked ep 2. Weeping the manliest tears whenever I see Twilight 'giving' each of her friends their elements. Also, Lady Faust and her crew are still very awesome and although she had to step down, the amount of awesome never changed! HERE'S TO SEASON 2! |
