Why doesn't Hasbro just hire fans to write for the show if the current writers suck?
>>
Because fimfiction fanfics aren't resume material
>>
>>27115789
You don't really need experience to get on the show.
>>
You know the "ideas guy" isn't an actual job right?
>>
>>27116433

Then why don't you do it?
>>
>>27115556
Because fans always write shit.
>>
>>27116449
Larson disagrees
>>
>>27116449
You gotta write scripts yeah, but sometimes you can get paid for just providing the story.
>>
>>27116478
I would if I could get paid for it part time as I would make way more money in my own field.

Also you gotta have connections.
>>
>>27115556
Fans wouldnt work for such little pay.

So, the No Second Prances synopsis gave me a good way to inprove my idea.

Might post it later. It adds to my earlier episode idea almost perfectly imo.
>>
>>27115556
This thread again?
>>
>>27117123
Awesome!
>>
>>27117139
Yes
>>
>>27115556
I'm writing a hypothetical tv special focusing on rape as a friendship problem. Do I get the job?
>>
>>27115556
Because big corporations are the worst decision makers.
>>
>>27117580
Not appropriate for kids.
>>
>>27119277
which is why they should learn stranger danger before it happens.
:^)
>>
>>27117580
If you can make it subtle enough and pass it off as feminism, probably.
>>
>>27119385
Lewd, but seriously that script was gonna be about rape? It felt so much like the show.

>>27115556

>He genuinely believes fanworks are better than the show's current writing
If you like edgy OC's and lesbian shipping I guess.
>>
>>27120996
Fans can write stuff better than the show.
>>
>>27120996
>"i only read 2 fimfics"
>>
>>27120996
Only the shitty writers that get noticed because EQD and FIMfic promote fanwork for the fans of the fandom.

[citation needed]

>>27121119
Josh Haber is a hack.
>>
>>27121119
They do.
>>
>>27115556
They could if they had connections.

Who the fuck treats MLP like an anime?

Pretty much everyone.

Fans would do a fine job. They just need to get the right connections.

Do the current writers suck?

Yes

>>27124537
Yes
>>
>>27115556
They did, it's called the comics
Now look how that turned out
>>
>>27125119
They didn't hire fans for that, they hired people looking for a quick buck.
>>
>>27125119
Comic writers were not fans.
>>
>>27125231
>>27125169
and yet there are fan-favorite characters in the backgrounds, fan-theories literally being canon-ized(at least in the comic verse), fan-interpretations of the already canon-characters being used instead of the show presented personalities

They might be "professional" writers, but they clearly are fans. Or at the very least, Hasbro has ordered them to pander as much as possible to the fandom
>>
>>27125508
Then why do they like brony haters and barely understand the characters.
>>
>>27125564
>and barely understand the characters.
as i said, they are fanfic writers

>Then why do they like brony haters
i don't follow internet drama, so i don't know what you are referring to
>>
>>27125584
Shouldn't fanfic writers at least understand the characters? What about the green text stories here? Aren't they considered good?

No thanks. I like it being written for children.
>>
>>27125662
>What about the green text stories here? Aren't they considered good?
I thought all the green text stories here were just fetish fantasies?
"Hey, isn't the status of liberty kinda cute?"
"I will do a green text!"
"Awesome, she is so hot!"
"When the visitors entered the vagina of the statue to go through her body to enter the viewing balcony..."
stuff like that

>Shouldn't fanfic writers at least understand the characters?
When was the last time you have read a fanfic? It's all about personal headcanons in EVERY regards. The amount of serious fanfic writers could be counted on one hand. With such a huge fandom, that's not a lot.
>>
>>27125766
That sounds like the show we have now.
>>
>>27125766
When did you stop watching the show SENPAI?
>>
When will StoryAnon grace this thread?
>>
>>27115556
I would be shocked if there was anyone in the fandom who could write something that was creative and felt like a show episode.
>>
>>27125887
Say his name three times.
>>
>>27125774
I saw some really great ideas in the last thread and some pages of some sample scripts, it was pretty amazing.
>>
>>27126442
That's because StoryAnon is a massive autist who has probably broken down the show to a formula.
>>
>>27115556
still waiting
>>
>>27125887
He better finish part 2 and the other ideas he has planned.
>>
>>27115556
Because finding the few fans that can do better is difficult.
>>
Because this is what we got when Hollywood let the audience write a script.
>>
>>27128540
No way
>>
>>27124537
No, this is just a literal meme.
>>
>>27130157
Thank you.
>>
>>27130157
You're wrong.
>>
>>27115556
It would be a good idea.
>>
>>27115556
Hasbro is incompetent.
>>
>>27132443
Fucking this.
>>
>>27115556
Because then the producers have a fissy fit "wahh wahh I'm not paying for your flash animation anymore if you don't let me ruin every script I can get my hands on".

You need some money before you first become a real contribution towards the showl

As for your talent. Well I myself am not very great at writing personakities and developing plots and then structuring the chapters together in a neatly paced narrative.

BUT I SURE AS FUCK WOULD NEVER IN MY GODDAMN RIGHTFUL MIND ask Larson to "write the Slice of Life script as close to fanon interpretation as possoble"

I sure as sweet merciful Saint Mary would never tell my writers to write Luna as an autistic moronic imbecile who doesn't know what fun is, and I wouldn't base my entire plot off "ponies acting retarded - for the 24th time in a row"

I am a humble decent human being who enjoys quality, not toilet humour straight off from reddit and the fandom's worst bowels of shit.
>>
>>27130157
No it is not.
>>
>>27133044
How bad could following Hasbro's orders be?
>>
>>27133044
I don't get this post.

>>27133044
Fuck off.
