Maybe. |

Originally had Scootaloo but changed at the last second to avoid chicken jokes. |

I don't see why that thought would scare you because honestly she doesn't have time to spend on reading fanfics. |
| Kein #790861 7 months ago |
She already answered she is not interested at all + she has no time for that. |
| Anonymous #790862 7 months ago |
Why would she want to? |
| JP #790866 7 months ago |
Let's hope she won't. |
| Gittonsxv #790868 7 months ago |
yes she could but i think she is not allowed to admit she did for legal reasons bla bla in fact any of them could if they wanted too but they would have to keep it a secret and deny any and everything........my teacher told me that LOL |

Where is my damn pony?
There she is! |

She'll probably refrain from reading any fanfics for anything for a few reasons:
a) She's really busy and doesn't have a lot of free time b) If she ends up making an episode of something that has a premise that is similair to a fanfic she admits to reading, even in a different universe, she may expose her project to legal action. |
| Nebbie #790906 7 months ago |
Her not reading fanfics was personal policy, not in her contract or anything.
There's little actual legal risk, and specific denials can be done as well as blanket denials. Also, no matter how much is denied about reading fics, and no matter how few fics are read, there is still potential of lawsuits. People looking to get money out of a company aren't easily stopped from suing by things like facts. |

Isn't she still consulting producer, though? |
| Anonymous #790919 7 months ago |
No she's not working on the show at all for the umpth time. This was made known way back in May. She's working on another project |
| Anonymous #790929 7 months ago |
^^ That just means she had approval over the scripts. She isn't involved in the actual production of the show in any way. |

Thats a fucking shame. Fallout Equestria, cause holy fucking shit, she, all of my friends and everyone who is currently breathing needs to read it. |
| MaroonBunyip #791052 7 months ago |
Why would she want to do that to herself? |
| DeeperMadness #791099 7 months ago |
Isn't she working on a new show now though? I'm fairly certain she's pretty busy most of the time with that.
Besides, fanfics have a bit of a nasty reputation on the Internet. The term usually conjures up thoughts of stories like this one. |

Fuck you, I won't read it, and I don't need. Don't think that just because you like some nerd ass fanfic, everyone need to do the same. Asshole. |
| Posey #791201 7 months ago |
She could always legally read fanfiction. Creators read their fandoms fics and look at their comics all the the time - heck, if I release a book I'd pay attention to any fans I have. |

We can just hope she doesn't. |
| Wheezie_Moonflower #791421 7 months ago |
Maybe when she retires, she'd have time for all of them... |
| Anonymous #792332 7 months ago |
Was it ever a legal issue? |
| Eco #792349 7 months ago |
there are problems with fruit of the poison tree. the legal risk comes from the following scenario:
1) scriptwriter reads fanfic 2) scriptwriter writes script for episode 3) fanfic author claims episode infringes his fanfic what's necessary here is for writers to not read stuff about their characters to which they have no rights. or at least, make it stated policy to not read such things. thus when (3) happens they have a workable defense: that (1) didn't, so it was just parallel evolution. |

What I'm wondering about is why nothing has happend over the strange accidental fandom nods {I.E. There was a fanfic that had twilight trying to come up with a lesson before the episode lesson zero was even annonced}. |
