No reason to not be here I suppose, I just haven't been around the fandom in a long time. Didn't know if it was still going on.
And what in the everlovin' hay happened to Whirly Willow? That little lady had a mess of talent and one of the better OCs the fandom ever spawned.

We all know this fandom spawns OCs faster than should be possible. The creativity of this fandom, it truly boggled the mind

I don't actually know or at least remember.
Pity actually.

Seems like this fandom is based on starbursts and short memories.

Well if we're honest here, a lot of these OCs are the same character with a different skin.

>Tragic Backstory
>Horrific Disease/Disability/Mental Condition/Personality Quirk
>Grimdark MurderDeath
>Mary Sue Self-Insert

None of those really take much effort to write. I mean the good versions of these tropes are VERY good, but most of them are just the same kind of thing.

Long as the MLP:FiM fandom is around we'll be here.

Are we really going to generalize fandom creativity by resorting to typical Alicorn OC stereotypes from /mlp? There are a large number of popular and unique OCs in the fandom. None of the traits you listed are close to being commonplace among NS bronies.

Long live the Global Liberation Army!

In this world we stand for what we love, for what is right and for our rights. If you don't stand for either one of these you don't stand at all. You're crippled mentally. Your rights give you your life, that life gives you the right to stand for what is right for the world and one of those rights in the world is standing strong for those you love and what you love as a whole.

I wasn't singling any of you out at all! I am friend to the NS Brony if not one myself.

I mean that if you were to troll through Tumblr for the MLP OC, you would generally find those traits listed above more often than the more positive OCs that make the art form worth attempting.
