The content of this post isn't very much related to ponies, but I believe that it's still something that's very important that should be talked about. It's about bullying.

As we all know, bullying is a major problem that many kids face today.  Some of you may have even faced bullying, for being bronies, or any other reason.

This is why we should do everything we can to stop it, and to raise awareness, so that other people are aware of this issue.

This is why a group of friends of mine have decided to make a movie, to raise awareness about bullying, and to help bring an end to this terrible atrocity against innocent kids.

The cutie marks are perfect and the outfits were done very well and the Scorpion tail for Scorpion.

Contests are currently run by :devsockhiddenunderarock: but if you wish to donate, I would be very grateful if you could lend a hoof and donate some points to :devbronydonations:, our point collection place.

As for the group folders, don't panic if you can't submit anything, they are closed because they are being restructured so that your deviations will go through quicker when they are re-opened.

Only the contest folder for this contest http://bronies.deviantart.com/journal/Crossover-Contest-Fighting-Games-vs-My-Little-Pony-335793344 will remain open for the time being.

The new system is that you will  submit your art to the one folder, it gets voted on and then the sorting mods move them in to the appropriate folders from there.

The gallery folders must temporarily be locked for everything to be set up and transitioned. ]]> http://bronies.deviantart.com/journal/Apology-to-devMlp-Fim-338475552 http://bronies.deviantart.com/journal/Apology-to-devMlp-Fim-338475552 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:09:51 PST Apology to :devMlp-Fim: nonadult journals/personal Bronies http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/r/bronies.gif?7 Copyright 2012-2013 #Bronies
They are not exploiting anybody, they are merely offering a service that people pay points for if they chose too. No guns are being pointed at heads. Stating that they were keeping the points for themselves rather than for their group was also false and based on rumor.  :devmlp-fim: as a whole are NOT taking the points for themselves, they are going back into the group via a contest.

Group Admins Required to vote on Gallery Submissions

If you are interested in being an administrator of this group and voting on gallery submissions what you'll need to do is give me the following information. Your first name, your age, how much experience you've had with group management/modding and how much time you have on your hooves.

In this you may ponify any character from Mortal Kombat, Virtua Fighter, Street Fighter, Tekken, King of Fighters, Blaz Blue, Soul Calibur or whatever fighting game you want.

The person who draws the favourite drawing will win a 3 month premium membership.

That has been the issue. Weekly contests could return and I'll happily pay for prizes if I could have some help running them every week though.

Just some person or people who can decide the winner each week.

That's the reason why these crossover competitions haven't been weekly, as well.

What you have to do is make a pony version of any Marvel character you wish. Be sure that it's a Marvel character and not a character from another comic series though.

If you need an example of Marvel characters the most well known ones are the X-Men. Aside from them I can only suggest is this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Comics_characters

There are so many things that can be turned in to ponies. TV show characters, game characters, film actors/actresses, sports people, singers etc. The possibilities are endless. :la:

The yes in the poll are far exceeding the no, also.

However crazy this sounds though, it will be organized. A set subject matter each time, like maybe one time Comic Book characters like from Marvel and DC, maybe one time characters from Street Fighter, maybe one for Sonic Heroes characters that includes the bad guys, maybe Pokémon and other Anime series like Naruto.

So we want you to be a part of our team and help us with approving them.

Good afternoon, Fillies and Gentle-colts. I come to you all today with a simple proposal. Many of you may remember a few months ago, I ran a similar contest for the cover of a fan-fic that I wrote. Recently, I've finished that endeavor, and have begun writing its sequel. In this case, however, we are hoping to run the contest prior to the impending release of the story's first two chapters and prologue. Of course, we wouldn't be arrogant enough to not give you a good idea of the fic. The story is primarily an adventure story, with a bit of shipping.
