Topic of The Week 4: The Petter Fandom Will It Become As Big and Popular As The Brony Fandom? by Evan Carlton Written on ‎January ‎28, ‎2013

My name is Evan Warren Carlton and I once again bring you the Topic of The Week so without further ado let's begin.

I know I have a forum thread and blog on Everypony.com about this topic but i'm going to go into more detail so here we go.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and Littlest Pet Shop are to Hasbro owned shows shown on The Hub they have both become popular with people of all ages and genders and both have their own seperate fandoms, bronies for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and petters for Littlest Pet Shop but despite the fact that Littlest Pet Shop has only been out for three months and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic has been out for two years does the Petter fandom have what it takes to one day be as big and popular as the Brony fandom let's find out together?

Fandom Comparisons Part One Brony Fandom:

Bronies and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic has been around for two years now it will have been three years by the time October 10, 2013 rolls around and bronies have done and made all sorts of amazing things like radio shows and broadcast on Everfree Radio and Celestia Radio, fan sites like Everypony.com and Equestria Daily.com, conventions, charities, fan art, fan fiction, fan made music, fan animations and AMV's cleverly renamed PMV's by the fans (pony music videos) for those of you in the new a AMV or PMV in the case of the brony fandom for My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is when someone takes and shows scenes from a show and puts a song in the video that matches and goes with the scenes from the video.

Fandom Comparisons Part Two Petter Fandom:

Petters and Littlest Pet Shop has only been for three months not even close to the amount of time that the Brony fandom has been around for and while Petters haven't made or done as many amazing things as Bronies have so far they have made fan sites like Thepetshopinsider.blogspot.com, fan art, fan fiction, fan made music and a small amount of AMV's not cleverly named LPSMV's and i'm still waiting for fan animation videos when can I see my favorite pets in a fan made video or even better a video featuring both the pets from Littlest Pet Shop and ponies from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic in the same video as I am both a Petter and a Brony.

Speaking of Bronies I bet I know what some of you people are thinking.

Aren't Most if Not All Petters Also Bronies?:

Yes to answer your question most if not all Petters are also Bronies and what I mean by that is that a large majority of the people who watch Littlest Pet Shop and have become Petters are also Bronies and fans of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, what I mean by that is that every Saturday a new episode of LPS (Littlest Pet Shop) comes on a hour after the new episode of MLP FiM (My Little Pony Friendship is Magic) and several voice actresses and one voice actor from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic also voice characters on Littlest Pet Shop and on top of that we also got Daniel Ingram composing lyrical music on not only LPS but MLP FiM as well.

Closing Statements:

So even though Littlest Pet Shop and the Petter fandom hasn't been around as long My Little Pony Friendship is Magic or the Brony fandom I think that over time it could grow and maybe become as big and popular as the Brony fandom but I still think it will take a really long time for the Petter fandom or even the Brony fandom to become as big as Anime/ Otaku fandom, Trekkie/ Star Trek fandom which I am not a part of and have no interest in joining, the Whoovian/ Dr. Who fandom which I am also not a part of and have no interest in joining or even the superhero/ comic book fandom which I have been a part of for most of my life just like how i've also been a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for most of my life as well but anyway that's all I have to say about the topic at hand so as I say when i'm on the phone with either of my parents whether it's my mom or dad "bye bye now."

Anyway it's time to vote on next week's Topic of The Week so do you want me to talk about A. Is The Hub channel slowly becoming the new Cartoon Network?, B. Marvel vs. DC are both superhero brands equally great or is one better than the other?, or C. Manga vs. Comic Books What Do I Prefer?
