Don't exactly know why, the artistic swarming around MLP is probably what got 
me into the show. Opened gates for me that I thought I couldn't open before... 
It's nowhere a revolutionary show, even if Lauren's try was quite risky (but 
she ended up as a tool for resurrecting a dead franchise).
Plus, once you're in, you ought to make your favorite show the best thing since 
sliced bread. That's pretty much how fandoms initially spring up. But the more 
the fandom lives on, the more this ideal fades out...
The ride doesn't really end. In fact, it just fades out, little by little. At 
most, it will be just a memory.
