!ottawabronies @mergemm I would be quite willing, but you did specify 18+, so I can't. But still.

@mergemm Well, let's ignore the *original* episode for a second: Escape from Midnight Castle, even though the FiM pilot mirrors that episode in so many ways as a callback. The SHOW MLP and Friends, which ran in the mid-80s was cheap animation, with plenty of errors. There was much more danger back then. One of the taglines in fandom that remembers the old eps is "Dream Valley Is Trying To Kill You". But it's also distinguished by the need for Hasbro to just sell ponies without worrying about animation quality or song quality. Here, see for yourself in the episode Quest of the Princess Ponies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZkJaxHU920

!ottawabronies @nightbreak @djmidli I'm focusing on why the cartoon has become this popular with a demographic so different from the target audience -- popular enough to spawn this brony subculture. Ideally real names would be used, but if there’s concern with that I’m willing to work around it. I do want to make it clear that I’m not out to portray bronies in a negative way. The premise just struck me as curious and I’m sure others would find it intriguing as well. I did commit myself to watching the entire first season when I decided to write this article; I think it’s a cute show with great production, characters and an interesting world. So the appeal is not lost on me :)

@mergemm sounds like a great idea. I'd love to help out if you still need people.

@mergemm Well, I can tell you that I came into the new show because I had been a fan of the 80s show when I was, oh, 8. :P I'm sort of a brony-anomaly in that, but it's interesting to be in a fandom from the ground up like this. Trust me, bronies are not alone. Just go to Fandom bananas and see the 'subcultures' that have evolved around any show. !ottawabronies.

!ottawabronies Hi all. I’m a journalism student at Carleton University working on an article about bronies for a magazine writing course I’m taking this semester. I plan to pitch the story to an actual publication once I’m a bit further along with my research. I’m looking for Ottawa-area bronies (ages 18 and up) to be a part of the article. I’ll be at the convention in November, but I’m interested in chatting and/or meeting with any who are up for it before then. If you’d like to be involved, please email me at mmonett2 [at] connect.carleton.ca. Thanks!

@mergemm What will you be talking about and what names will you be using: Net or Real? Plus, are you a fan yourself? !ottawabronies.

!LAbronies : Any Kings fans attending the L.A. "Hockey Fights Cancer" game tonight at the Staples Centre? Ottawa brony here looking to acquire one of the Kings' HCF "Mystery Pucks". Will reimburse for shipping and puck, naturally, plus some extra.

!njbronies: Any Devils fans going to a recent game? Ottawa brony here looking to pick up one of New Jersey's "Hockey Fights Cancer" pucks, assuming the team still has any left for sale.
Saturday, 29-Oct-11 20:11:57 UTC from web -
Sorry, fellow !ottawabronies, but it's unlikely I can take the time to zip down to Chicago any time soon and I'd like to gather up some of these pucks from other teams. It's all for a good cause. :P

!chibronies : !Ottawabronies member here, looking for a Blackhawks fan who'll be going to the United Centre for the game against Columbus on Saturday (or even games after, perhaps). Oct. 29th is your Hockey Fights Cancer Night and there are autographed Blackhawks "Mystery Pucks" for sale. I'm looking to acquire one and will reimburse you for the expenses, shipping, and extra effort. Ottawa Senators still have about fifty remaining from our HFC Night last Tuesday, so I hope the Hawks won't sell out quickly. Can anyone help?

!ottawabronies: Sign you watch too much MLP:FiM: When your mother comments on how clear a day it is, and your immediate first thought is that the weather ponies are doing a marvelous job today!

!ottawabronies @nightbreak Hehe, the thought of weather ponies above clearing the sky always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. :)

!ottawabronies: I think that while she was at Flight School, Spitfire was probably an All-Amareican. :D

Basically, !ottawabronies, Princess Luna is channelling one BRIAN BLESSSED. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP11L9jRW94

!ottawabronies I kinda like being yelled at by Luna. And hello @memj, welcome to our little slice of chaos here in Ottawa.

!OTTAWABRONIES YOUR PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT HAS RETURNED TO YOU!!!

!ottawabronies @memj It was in the MC building actually! The hallway connecting MC to Mackenzie... I forget what floor though. And we don't mind at all! Please join in :D

!ottawabronies @nightbreak THIS MUCH VOLUME WHEN ADDRESSING OUR SUBJECTS!

!ottawabronies @cakewalk. Wish I'd seen that! I'm assuming it was in the MC building? Oh and hi fellow bronies! Hope you don't mind if I join in?

!ottawabronies Was walking in Carleton Uni. when I saw this on one of the engineering billboards. http://i.imgur.com/Pcvlh.jpg Made me giggle quite a bit, first brony reference I've seen while at uni. If I had flash skills I'd totally help out. Its a bit blurry cause I used my cellphone to photo it.

!ottawabronies I should try and bake/cook/stuff like that for the group watch. The only real objection I can think of to Jonnies is that it is a very mediocre restaurant. But it is still food.
Sunday, 16-Oct-11 01:41:58 UTC from web -
!ottawabronies A groupwatch would be fantastic! I could bring snacks too, like cupcakes or somesuch for all of us to have something to munch while we watch.
Saturday, 15-Oct-11 04:50:39 UTC from web -
!ottawabronies I am excite. I think I'll cosplay as urahara since he's kinda the only character I sorta resemble (that I watch) at naru2u. Also, why don't we watch episode 4 together as our next meeting? If people can bear to get up, we could watch it in a stream on the day of its release!
Friday, 14-Oct-11 23:58:23 UTC from web -
!ottawabronies @djmidli Excellent :) Also wanted to remind everypony that episode 3 is tomorrow! :D
Friday, 14-Oct-11 23:46:30 UTC from web-
@djmidli Shame. Although a 'history lesson' on Dream Valley, "Where Everything Wants To Kill You" to Equestria would be fun.
-
@djmidli is there gonna be a meet up outside of naru. I am not going this year but still wanna meet other ottawa bronies
-
@djmidli Thanks! But I'm not top-tier. I'm slightly under that. I didn't let the fic sit long enough after finishing and took some bad advice on that ending. That idea cost me a star rating. Plus some readers felt nothing happened. They were right. But I can fix all that if I ever get around to "Knots In the Wings" :D I'm no Jetfire or WTF_HIW. They're the top-tier. I don't write like they do.

!ottawabronies @djmidli This sounds like an ideal to me.
Thursday, 13-Oct-11 20:57:08 UTC from web -
@djmidli !ottawabronies Sounds good :D Can't wait for the next meetup, big or small.
Tuesday, 11-Oct-11 17:15:17 UTC from web -
!ottawabronies @cakewalk. If I win the Cheo Dream home I'll host a meetup :D. That would result in much win.
Saturday, 08-Oct-11 23:12:06 UTC from web-
@syntaxcapt !ottawabronies That would be a dream come true! I remember the one a couple years ago had a theatre, wine cellar, bar, and popcorn machine in the basement. :D Quite the ideal location for brony parties ^.^

@shipomaster !ottawabronies . Just wait till we have our second group photo!

@syntaxcapt !ottawabronies Speaking of that, anyone have any idea when the next meet will be?

!ottawabronies. Oh man, I need to make time for that artist training ground sometime. Got too much on the go with my side pony projects in GibbsCAM. Having a hard time tryimg to import vectors. If I could draw my own ponies it would make it so much easier to covert to a .DXF file....sorry, little long winded on my part "Eep"
Saturday, 01-Oct-11 06:39:58 UTC from web-
@syntaxcapt !ottawabronies DXF! I know that format from having to use CAD programs in my school courses. You totally should submit some drawings :) every week they have a new theme and you can submit a drawing pertaining to that theme somehow with ponies. This past week was pirates vs. ninjas. xD And I'd hardly call that long-winded.. I should give apologies to everyone for flooding our wall here so much. Im overpony-enthusiastic. >.< (whatever that means xD)

!ottawabronies Awesome stuff everyone :) I have a deviantart but my art skills are still lacking (submitting a MLP drawing to the MLP artist training grounds this weekend hopefully), so I'll post it here when it gets a little more... worth looking at. Heh. Also good luck @djmidli for the convention!
Saturday, 01-Oct-11 03:43:46 UTC from web -
!ottawabronies. Thanks guys! I know what you mean @shipomaster, I feel the same way generally whwn it comes to that. I'll be sure to check those out. When I'm not at work, heh.
