(I agree; I said that purely to troll people into thinking 'which clopfic have I read that might have been secretly written by Thanqol?')
Having shown the documentary to my mother and father, who are difficult people to get to sit down and watch an hour and a half of anything, I suspect you're talking out of your hat.
It was a thing I could show my parents, and have them get it and enjoy it. I think the real target audience is 'people who are aware of the fandom but don't understand it', and it's perfect for that role. It's not a tool for conversion and brainwashing, it's a tool to tell our side of the story - and that's exactly what I wanted it to be.

Re: My Little Pony LX: 60 Ponythreads? That's an Academy record!
I didn't say people wouldn't enjoy it, in your example I would ask that would your parents (if they don't already do) have their curiosity piqued enough to watch FiM? If only to check out some episodes.
Also would they have paid money to purchase the documentary (course you have a copy so they don't need to) just from hearing about the fandom? Or purchase it to watch again because it's something interesting enough to own?
Now I am simply taking The JDL letter at face value that some of the Documentary makers still need to be compansated and is hoping to do so through sales. Subtract all the donors, is there enough interest out there to pay for the Digital release (or even physical copies) that would make them say, "hey, this whole project was financially worth it"?

Re: My Little Pony LX: 60 Ponythreads? That's an Academy record!
I still don't think that was the point, in the same way that a documentary about Trekkies isn't designed to get people to watch Star Trek. It's just designed to show who these people really are.
Also would they have paid money to purchase the documentary (course you have a copy so they don't need to) just from hearing about the fandom? Or purchase it to watch again because it's something interesting enough to own?
Now I am simply taking The JDL letter at face value that some of the Documentary makers still need to be compansated and is hoping to do so through sales.

No. Of course not.
If you told someone on the street, 'hey, did you know that there are grown men who like My Little Pony?' their answer would be, 'what, really?' and they'd want to find out more about these strange people. That might draw them to see the thing and if they like it they write reviews, tell their friends, put it on facebook, and other people start drifting in.
What people want is immaterial. What you can make them want is business.Last edited by Thanqol; 2013-01-22 at 09:33 PM.

Re: My Little Pony LX: 60 Ponythreads? That's an Academy record!
Your hat is awesome.
I need to find this documentary. I'll put it on my short-purchase list.
Explains it all! Somewhere, a crystal pony remembered a word...
"S... Som... Sombra?"
And as they thought about it, they were sure they Gould remember it, but with fear.
"Sombra? Is that right? Why do I know that name..."
And then all hell broke loose.
"Yes! It is a name! The Sombra is a ——"
*crypt breaks open, Sombra flies out in a black andwhitered tuxedo* CCCRRRYYYSTALLLLLS~!
"——$@%*!"
It would if that's where he keeps his laundry
I had a game go bad, once, Nd decided that if I was going to go down I would take the DM's universe with me. So I spent mints crafting the eldritch horror from beyond the stars I would summon if things when south.
The hellbeast known only as "KoolAid Man" is a necromantic horror, a bowl of sentient, possessed diamond- substance which contains its own universe, powered not by physics by but magical processes which require the blood of powerful sorcerers. The 'perspiration' is actually time-looped tears from the tragically forgotten, cooling down the nuclear processes of an entire contained universe through sympathy, where all who feel tragedy touch their lives slowly burn out as this existence-spawning energy radiates through them. The presence of Kool-Aid Man in a universe signals it's eventual demise, as entropy kicks it up three magnitudes, placing the burden of support, the onus of existence of both universes onto the one in which he finds himself.
Kool-Aid Man made a single appearance at the end of the campaign, after finishing the arcane rituals to bind his path and then to set my death as the trigger. The enemy, assuming I was the villain and that I had started "monologuing" cut me down. I handed the full stack of compiled information to the DM – he had agreed to everything, but never seen it all in one place at one time – and narrated that upon my death, the very walls of reality itself buckled and shook, rippling, until a weak point had been found. The last thing Istanvar the Enchanter heard was the sickly noise of existence tearing in painful birth, and a deep, foreboding "Oh, YEAH".

Hi ponies! I've been away because work sucks and pony thread is effort. I had my first hypnagogic hallucination today! The first that took me by surprise anyway. Scared the horn off my noggin, it did! A bubbly snake of gelatinous form made I the swiftly forming and decaying and femurs of a thousand thousand slain burst from the gutter and chased my truck as we pulled in to my place of occupation.
So I'm goin to be a bit further behind, and try to rest more and post less. I don't like being unable to function.
Have some great ideas for paradox manifestations though, lemme tell you.

You know... if the Wonderbolts did kick her out of the academy, Dust has all the trappings of turning into a villain, complete with creating her own team of flyers. Shadowbolts perhaps?

Your chant amuses me. It is a very pretty picture, though had it been humanized I'd probably be chanting too.
Double points if Octavia was rocking out to rock covers of classical songs. Some of those varients just floor me with awesome.

Maybe,
SpoilerThough someone commented it could also be a badly colored Cadance. I doubt it, but then again I was at the stores last Sunday and one of the newer Luna toys gave her a purple not too far off from Twilight so... *shrug*
The more that time passes, the less bothered I am about the Alicorn Twilight debate because I'm starting to really get into the mindset that this will just be a one-episode deal for the season 3 finale solely to justify the toys.

Re: My Little Pony LX: 60 Ponythreads? That's an Academy record!
^I'm with Thubby.
Funny MLP iOS game moment:
I was playing the ball minigame with Pinkie Pie and halfway through it the game glitched and the ball disappeared for a few seconds. Obviously its just a rare "oops" with the game... so why was I shouting "Darn it Pinkie!!" as if she was really there breaking physics?
My wife wishes she got that moment on video.
