Bronies for Good: Seeds of Kindness

• http://www.mlponies.com/2012/04/30/seeds-of-kindness-helping-africa-grow/
  
• “Bronies for Good” is a networking and support group for any Brony who shows a genuine desire to reach out to people and problems that many of the people in this world tend to disregard.
  Recently “Bronies for Good” has started a fundraiser called “Seeds of Kindness”. The primary goal is to raise USD$10,000 for non-profit charity “Your Siblings” to build a medical clinic in Uganda and any donations past that goal will help fund construction of a Green Village in the tiny Republic of Burundi to house homeless children and refugees.
  As an incentive for donating, you will get a 41 track album composed by various community musicians.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic gets two nomination for “Outstanding Original Song”

• http://www.mlponies.com/2012/05/09/mlp-fim-nominated-for-two-daytime-emmy-awards/
  
• Daniel Ingram was recently nominated for the Daytime Emmy Awards for “Outstanding Original Song - Children’s and Animation” category. The song that was nominated was “Becoming Popular (The Pony Every Pony Should Know)” and “May The Best Pet Win”.
  
• For those who are wondering why songs like “The Flim Flam Brothers”, “The Smile Song” or “This Day Aria” was not nominated, was because those songs were aired in 2012 while  “Becoming Popular (The Pony Every Pony Should Know)” and “May The Best Pet Win” were aired in 2011.

The Brony Thank You Project

• Over some places on the net such as Reddit, there’s a bit of a storm brewing on about the Brony Thank You project. To jolt your memory a little, the Brony Thank You project was a thank you initiative by the Brony Thank You Fund. The Brony Thank-You Fund is a registered New Hampshire non-profit organization and the purpose of this project was to place a recurring 30-second ad on the Hub thanking the producers and all the people behind MLP:FiM for all their contributions. The Hub even offered a competitive rate of $2000 per 30-second slot to the Fund after they were approached.
  The fund has successfully hit their $12000 mark and has pledged the remaining funds towards charity. Their script has already been approved by Hasbro and The Hub and is on the way to becoming a reality. Some say that the project is a waste of money while some think that it’s an amazing way to give back to the producers. There have even been opinions that showing bronies on TV could impact the impression that parents have on the show.

Dear Norman and Emillio,


First off I'd like to say I absolutely love the show.


I'm not a big brony but I do enjoy the back and forth between you guys and I always learn something interesting while listening to the show. You guys always make me laugh when I need it the most. Keep up the great work and I can't wait until the next episode. :)

Dear MBS show people,


Just a short comment this time. I too noticed the Homestuck/Brony crossover in the fandom. The overlap is uncanny, and some (e.g. the Moonstuck tumblr) are really well done.


To a new mike,
Muffyderp
