[OakenGlow]

1. Gender and age range
- Female 20-29

2. Do you customize ponies?
- Not yet, but I’m planning to, right now I’m waiting for materials. I can’t bring myself to do it on other than G4, because the older ones are to dear to me.. but I would like to learn how to rehair, to give them new life.
-  I’m planning on making some for myself, some for gifts. And if I get good at it I’ll make some for sale.

3. Are you a member to any other PONY specific forum/websites
- Only groups on facebook.

3.5 Do you collect My Little Pony Toys, Merchandise or collectibles?
- Right now they are stored in boxes in my bedroom, a few are on display. But only till we move to something bigger! I mainly collect G1 and G4, but do have some G2 and G3.

4. Do you watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?
- Yes, and I like it

5. Do you consider yourself a Brony or Pegasister?
- No, for me a brony or a pegasister only focus on G4 and doesn’t really like (and some -not all- look down on) the older generations. I think the terms are used for the community around the G4 fandom, so I would rather call myself a collector or pony fan.

6. Have you watched the movie"Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony" Directed by Laurent Malaquais
- I watched it just to answer this question xD I think the community is much like the one you se with anime/manga, and many of the fans are drawn to the fandom mostly because they don’t fit in elsewhere. And I think the show focus on G4 fans, the only G1 fan I saw was Lauren. But then again, If a brony og pegasister is the terms for G4 fans, it’s accurate xD I think it was very long at the end and needed more facts about where the ponies developed from. The many long shots from the con at the end was quite boring.

7. Have you watched or read anything else related to bronies, collecting or customizing ponies.
- I think it’s good that people are accepting that all agers and genders are allowed to like something as my little pony. But It bothers me, that when ponies are mentioned, everybody put you in the Brony-box. I have never seen someone represent a classic collector..

8. Have you ever visited any PONY specific convention?
 - No, but I want to!
