Here is some good recent news for the brony fandom and many other fandoms! It looks like Hasbro has made a deal with a company called "Super Fan Art" to get some FAN MADE 3D printed figurines on the market! Here are some articles on EqD that explain it in more detail:

This is AWESOME!!!
With a lot of creative people being in the MLP fandom we see them using their skills to produce 3D art pieces that would sell good but of course there was always the fear of a Cease and Desist looming over us. In fact a while ago several people got C&Ds for selling their 3D ponies on shapeways.com but now it looks like Hasbro has finally answered my prayer and is using the aforementioned site to produce these sculptures and apparently the makers of the art get to choose the price! It is tough getting hand-picked by Hasbro to do this and obviously they only allow appropriate artwork and stuff but hey, I'm just glad to be hearing this news!
So what do you guys think of this? Do you think they will start allowing certain fans like JanAnimations to team up with them and create legal fan-made animations and other media rather than sending out more Cease and Desist's to protect their IP? It may seem unlikely but with the fact that they're now doing it for 3D printed ponies, I have a feeling they could use fan animations someday too!

FHS/MLSiaD Q and A April 2024
Now for the answers to the latest Q&A: MLPFollower from FIMfiction asks: Exactly how many seasons of both Flurry Heart’s Story and My Little Sister is a Dragon are there going to be? 9 like Friendship is Magic, more, or less? There most likely won’t be that many seasons with FHS, but know knows. With MLSiaD, it’s more like a mini-series with one season. The first two episodes/arcs have been longer: about 10 chapters but some in the future could be shorter (or longer) and right now I’m looking to around 12-13ish episodes in total. MLPFollower from FIMfiction asks: Any characters from G1-3 you’re thinking of adding in to the stories? I’ve already revealed that the bushwoolies and Princess Porcina are coming up, but I could use more. I’m not going to say who or what exactly I have in mind right now as it could all change. MLPFollower from FIMfiction asks: Who do you plan to be the final main villain in the series finale(s) and why? I think I’ve kind of already made it obvious who
New part-time job!
I interviewed yesterday and was hired right away! I'm going to be doing some packing, sorting and delivering for a local newspaper company that an old friend of mine from school owns. Only definite work days will be Thursdays and possibly earlier in the week. I won't get a whole lot of hours out of it so I'm still looking for another part time job or perhaps a full one if the benefits and rates are good. My current commission list has 10 slots full, but I'm going to still let my page say I'm opened in case anyone else wants to get a slot later. Those commissions obviously have yet to be started, but thank you to everyone who sent a message and I'll get the WIP sketches done for you soon.

Why I'm jobless and how you can help
I should've been forthcoming about this much sooner, but honestly I didn't know what to say as I figured things would've turned up by now. Well they haven't and I might as well tell you guys the truth. As the title admits, yes, I do not have a job and it's been that way for the past 6 weeks. Before we talk about that, let's go back to November of last year. Some of you might have seen when I made this status update: https://www.deviantart.com/aleximusprime/status-update/Sorry-if-I-scared-you-995107195 Well that got me to leave my job for one month because I was able to go back on December 19th when that asshole left for shoulder surgery. I returned to work and things were fine for the next 2 months, but then it got worse when he returned in late February. To understand this situation, I have to explain the manager. He has been a lifelong friend of my dad's and our family has good relations with his family, but his biggest weakness is he's too nice. He runs a decent business

This is pretty interesting. I'm curious to see where this goes and whether or not they'll do it for other fandoms too.
