Updating usefulness of the abbreviation. My initial consideration was whether I should just abbreviate it MLP, since of course people would know I was referring to Friendship is Magic. It gets enough references around here I figured it was in the popular consciousness.

In my opinion, it's not an exceptionally good show. Though from what I've read so far, Fallout:Equestria is awesome.

I already have to navigate through my social world with the handicap of counting a work of Harry Potter fanfiction among my favorite books. If I end up owning seasons of My Little Pony because of this site I'm going to be very upset.

Find better friends!

Though from what I've read so far, Fallout:Equestria...

I have never heard of Fallout:Equestria, but I started laughing out loud as soon as I read the title. Is this the authoritative source for the story ?

War. War never changes...

Not sure about definitive, but it seems to be complete.

F:E is surprisingly, serious, gritty, and well-written. It's also longer than War and Peace.

First, share your respective definitions of "better" with regard to friends.

Not exhaustive, but "friends for which liking awesome things is not a handicap" is a good start.

Also, look for friends who are at least happy for your sake if you're enthusiastic about something non-harmful.
