>They really have been liberal with their tolerance of fan works as well. Not saying things have been perfect, but better then I would've expected back in 2011 that's for sure.
Maybe it´s because they know that fans give more advertisement than the channels. A great fanwork could work as something attractive for anybody else, even for those who are not fans, can appeciate what they are and outsiders consume a little bit of their time on this franchise.
I don´t know how is the C/D going currently but I think things have laxed or calmed down a lot. I beleive, as some anon said in /mlp/, the staff may lurk the board and even Jimmy made an interview in Horse News. They have learnt how to shitpost, not many but they predicit and analyze their audience of what they should do. Hell, I even wonder if the show is basically written for us or subtly for the fans because there are details in the episodes that kids or even outsiders wouldn´t realize unless you followed the series and its history behind it.
