>(this would be an example of a lot of the earlier major fics, with it's toe and world building it feels both familiar and alien. Probably too long to read I never fiished it but it is interesting to just look through for a time capsule perspective Not saying you should just liking for reference)
It seems that Jetfire has received positive criticism and 19 chapters for a fic written in the golden era, I should learn something from there (yet I know I won´t because I admit that I care more about the fandom state than the content it produces for it for the most part). Some comments are 7 years old and it could possibly fit as time capsule for a bit of nostalgia, worth remembering for some fans out there . Though it makes you wonder what the actual roots of this fandom were. Sure, /mlp/ was one of them but in terms of fics, art, headcanons....so much diversity in content yet you remember a part of it and probably some /mlp/fags barely care about it.

>Adventure Time could be a perfect example of a show where the lore killed everything else, now that I think about it.
most fans say that after season 4, things got into different places though those are just voices I have checked while lurking
>Though I never was a big AT fan.
you tell me. I have only watched MLP because I rejected PKMN because the protagonist was too annoying for my taste to withstand in the long term. Otherwise I would have been stuck to video games and MLP got me in a moment when I was too bored and I had nothing else to do. I have begun to care about the cartoon industry and community because of this show. So, my voice only speaks in an outsider view because I have barely watched cartoons since I was 15 or so.

>I'd actually have to think on how much or in what ways I see the show has changed before I'd be able to give my honest answer on that.
that project would be like doing a end career work. You would have to put some serious dedication. Even if this show was simple, the amount of content to digest and compare is just overwhelming.

> I actually try to track as many mlp fan sites I can, (though I have fallen behind this year for sure) I sometimes visit there too. So we are both a bt plebeian *
though there are not many fan sites out there. /mlp/ is as plebeian as you can get. 8ch has become the contrarian choice along with /mlpol/ (although I haven´t checked about them these days) and /end/ is just a small hole for two plebeians that fail to accomplish one cliche or another because they check the rest of the fan sites. So I suppose that the patrician choice is lurking on Ponychan because of its unpopularity and some early fan MLP chan before /mlp/ was created.
I also share that I have checked less fan sites and only care about the main pillars and set up this one for an uncertain future that has yet to be defined....
