Hello all! I'm RainShadow. I've been watching the show, and part of the fandom, for over a year now (I think I first watched Episode 1 in January 2012, finished through the most recent episode of the time just in time to watch "A Friend in Deed" live). I was looking into joining some of the forums around that time, but somehow managed to put it off, mainly participating in livechats and /r/mlp. Thought I'd finally join here to get through this long summer! Obligatory answer: Favorite Pony is Applejack. "Applejack" has been my favorite cheese and "orange" my favorite color since I was like 7, yet I didn't realize this until after I ultimately decided AJ was best pony. Weird. Also big fan of Rainbow Dash due to weather being a big interest of mine. Without running on any longer, what drew me to the show was 1) The Music 2) The Animation 3) The characters and character-driven stories. The last show I really got into and participated actively in fan forums on was "Teen Titans," which shared these same qualities. Looking forward to chatting and discussing with you all over the long break! Oh, and if you haven't for some reason, go get the MLP comics. Seriously. Now. They are fantastic.
Welcome. Not much of an AJ an seeing as Rairty is bst pony. I'll buy the comics when they get into a serious arc like DC or Marvel.
Hi Rain! Welcome to the forums, I hope you like it here. ^^ I really need to go find those comics, they look pretty cool.
