Overview

Like them or hate them, the fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic have created a plethora of derivative works, from the typical fanfiction and fanart to long-running comics, audio dramas, video games, songs, and even animation! Not to be outdone, licensed derivative works have proliferated as well in the years since the series began. But is this a natural and healthy expression of fandom? Or appropriation by adult men of one of the few quality works not created with them in mind?

This volume includes: Critical essays on every episode of the third season. Additional essays on licensed works such as the IDW comics series and the Equestria Girls spin-off movies. Analysis of more than a dozen fanworks, including Friendship Is Witchcraft, Ask Jappleack, Rainbow Factory, and Mega Pony! A case study of Doctor Whooves as a case of fan influence on the show. And more!
