Anon1: Even if it was completely the case, things are no longer fanfiction when they make it into the canon. It's official MLP now regardless.

And as Anon2 said, if writers grow up with a show and then become writers on a new incarnation of it then obviously it'll have an impact from their own childhood. Much like with comicbooks and how most of the current writers of the big names grew up reading it.

There's always a bit of an "Inmates running the asylum" effect whenever fans of a long-running franchise grow up, become writers, and end up taking over the thing they enjoyed as a child. That's when you'll often see the series take on the angles that fans were interested in but never saw handled in the show itself.

Heck, that's how a simple pony-show managed to net a great cartoon-maker like Mrs. Faust and many of the other talented people who now work there, and if the franchise endures into the future you can bet kids raised on it today will bring what they've learned and what they were curious about into making the cartoon for *their* children.

Yes, and it will be glorious.
MLP: Deep Friendship 9 will bring grittiness to the franchise.
MLP: Friendshippages will be a lesser show sustained largely by a pony with a great plot.
MLP: Friendshipprise will suck so bad it will kill the franchise on TV, although it will be rebooted on the big screen.
