@Anon3 - Yeap, all because we wrote fanfiction.

That is the most polite "plz don't bug me" I've ever seen.

It's polite, and it shows it confirms something I've suspected. I didn't think Mrs. Faust or the production crew could read fan fiction, and now we know why.

If any of the production staff did read the odd fanfic, they'd never be able to admit it, anyway.

I'm sure a few probably do, if only out of curiosity.

That's pretty much industry rules. Thats why producers/actors don't read fan scripts and stuff.

Even if they were allowed to, can you imagine how people people would be bugging her if they found out she even read one piece of fanfiction?

They seem to bug her, regardless.

Don't take it personally guys, it's legal stuff. Some people have sued the shows they watch because it sounds similar to their fanfiction, sad but true.

Anon6, that's because, unlike us, she is a wonderful person. Because I am not a wonderful person, I posted this for the pathetic desperation of xxerox00 as much as Lauren's response.

Heartmend, you might be interested in this article about how major publishing companies have adopted the same policy for unsolicited manuscripts for the same reason. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703414504575001271351446274.html

Anon 4: nop, mexican.

I just say I wanted to watch a chapter with derpy being more than Derpy, with her mailmare job or with dinky as her daughter. I identify her as that by some fanfictions. The pictures and comics came after that or are based on those fanfictions.

they ought to do a fan-made episode contest like the one done for "Arthur," a PBS Kids show, more than a decade ago. The contest was advertised on TV Guide.

Please do not bug people with your fan fiction or art ever.

EVER EVER EVER.

Just put it on a website and maybe they'll see it, but it's not for you to take it and annoy them with it alongside every other internet person. Otherwise they'd be buried with constant requests to look at all the stuff people make.

It's just annoying and rude and Mrs. Faust handled it really well but she shouldn't have to handle it all so please.

DON'T DO IT.

Oh wow, it's just like how a game designer cannot look at any game ideas or a gaming company wants you to know that they do not want unsolicited ideas.

Given the stuff that's been written, I don't think Lauren would actually want to read it.

Every second you bother Lauren is a second she's not working on season 2.

You monster.

FUN FACT: Pretty much everyone working in entertainment media today is required to say "I don't read fanfiction" when asked to do so. It's often included in their contracts.

BUT...just because you say you don't read fics doesn't mean it's true.

Does that mean Lauren reads fics? Hard to say. But she loves fan feedback, so it's possible that she's checked up on the really popular or acclaimed ones. But it's equally likely that she has not (she is insanely busy after all) and bugging her to read your story is NOT going to get her to do so.

Either way, even if she reads a fic, even if she reads YOUR fic, and thinks it is the most beautiful thing she's ever seen and it moves her to tears....she will never, ever, be able to tell you.

I'm sorry, I just got a snicker-fit from "It's a pony story about ponies".

That's why I respect mrs. Faust so much, she can handle every type of annoying fan with so much politeness that they get the message without even realizing they've been scolded. By the way, I honestly hope she doesn't read fanfics, oficially or not, and it's not just about Cupcakes.
