Lauren Faust
Added by Bütterfly
/ˈfaʊst/) is the developer of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is credited as the executive producer for the first season, and consulting producer for the second. During the first season she used her deviantArt page to reply to fans and address questions about the show. She later added a Frequently Asked Questions entry that collected these questions and answers.
Shortly after the final episode of the first season, Faust announced that she had left the show. Her involvement in season 2 concentrated on story conception and scripts, and it diminished through the course of the season.[1]
Faust's professional credits extend from voice work in 1994 through art and writing and, by 2004, directing and development of shows such as The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. She is married to the creator of both shows, Craig McCracken.
She is listed in both the opening and closing credits of every episode, and in the writing credits for Friendship is Magic, part 1 and part 2.

Also, I doubt it, but is there a page on here that links to all her replies on Deviant to statements about the show (I don't mean her FAQ, but the actual comments) where she stated about how she created the show and how she envisioned certain things?
-
I sometimes feel that Lauren doesn't get the praise she deserves anymore. I get that the making of Friendship is Magic was a team effort, and that everyone on the team deserves our thanks and praise. I get that Lauren didn't create the show all by herself, but I'm getting really tired of people saying that she deserves the least praise out of everyone on the show. Not only did she write the actual show, she also stuck around thoughout Seasons 1 and 2 (confirmed, although she was less involved for season 2.) and had always had some contribution to the episodes, even if it was just a minor thing. Everybody talks about Lauren like she just wrote the first episode and then left the show, but she didn't. She helped write most of the other episodes, or at least supervised them.
She should get respect.
-
Praise be to you, Lauren.
-
Dear Lauren Faust,
I whould just like to say that I think you're like Twilight, Rarity and Applejack: smart,determined, and has a good sence of style!
P.S. Why aren't you writing for this show anymore?
-
she has other things to do obviously
-
Probably because she found some other program to write for.
-
what in the world could be better than this?
-
Wait... go back to the beggining of the episode people... Lauren Faust is working on a movie of Captian Underpants! YES!!! I loved that book!
-
-
My friend, too!
-
I hope this show goes on. If MLP is cancled i might go jump off a bridge.
-
Same.
-
Go Bronies. The Anti-bronies must be stopped. Raise the anti-hate shields. Ready the Orbital friendship beam
-
Yes! By the Power of Celestia, we shall stop the Anti-Bronies!
-
Even though i am a girl, I will defend, too!
-
And the Anti-Pegasisters! As I,Queen Inferno,declares,no haterz in tha house!
-
Does anypony know if her husband, Craig McCracken, had a hand in production of FiM?
-
I don't remember exactly what was said, but I read somewhere that Craig helped Lauren with some of the stuff for the show (any suggestions or feedback), even though he was not directly credited on the show.
-
We have to stop the Anti-bronies
-
Everypony, she's our leader and hero, we all love Faust!
-
Sorry bro, Ms. Faust is not my leader nor is she my hero. I just respect and admire her.
-
Agreed.If I ever meet her, I whould faint!
-
why cant she do her show "Galaxy girls"'
-
To get an idea for a show to appear on television, you have to pitch your ideas to a studio or network, and it's really up to them to make a decision whether or not they believe it would do well for the network. It's much harder than you think.
-
Wait, that has a SHOW?!?!?!? OMG!
-
-
AWWW! such a letdown!
-
Why did they have to cancel the show? WHY?!?!?! DX
-
It's not cancelled, what are you talking about?
-
Look at today's date
-
Is she still in the show or did she leave?
-
She still works on it - just not having as big a role as she did in the 1st season.
Also, does anyone know it Lauren said Applejack's parents died or not? I've seen a mlp quiz saying they have, but I'm not sure.
-
It's in her FAQ that she originally planned on saying they were dead. I dunno where she first said it.
-
She doesn't work on it. She's the creative consultant, meaning she has the approve on the stories.
The writers and animators can do whatever they want from there.
-
She left just before the season 2 finale. Did not help develop Cadance or anything.
She dropped out of writing after season one, though.
I'm kinda mad that she's no longer with the show. WHYYY?!?!?!
-
She said on her dA page that AJ's parents were kinda supposed to be dead, adventurers, or traveling salesponies like the FlimFlam bros, but it never came up so...
-
If I asked Lauren Faust for a hug, do you think she would give me one? I just really like her because she inspired me...
-
It's spelled Firefly. And yes, it is. (Hence her Deviant Art profile name fyre-flye)
-
Has she ever told who her favorite pony/character is?
-
In Friendship is Magic, or the whole thing?
-
Fyre Flye and RD
-
i think it was called fyre fly.... :0
-
The pony is "Firefly". "Fyre Flye" is actually Lauren herself (it's a screen name).
-
I'm gonna meet with her at Wondercon! Can't wait!
-
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is "Wondercon"? Is it about the Wonderbolts?
-
i wonder what miss Faust thinks of Hasbros decision to make Shining Armor Twilights Brother.
-
That profile picture I think is from general zoi's pony creator like mine is.
-
I don't think she has any comment, but she was surprised Cadance was an alicorn- she was originally a uni.
-
Ms. Faust, would you teach me how to draw? *gives Pinkie Pie esque eyes* Puh-Leeaaasssee?
-
yes.............. if i was her!
-
First,you must answer this:Do you agree to call me Queen Inferno or Blue Skinny Jeans?
-
Does this mean no season 3 :(
-
One person leaving the show doesn't end the series. It's been said already that Season 3 is being worked on. There was even a press release saying that new episodes will be seen during 2012-13, along with other shows.
-
Season 3 is already in production.
-
why did she leave the show? was it conflict of interest?
-
She said it was due to how intense the production schedule was for the show, and she no longer had the gift of time to think up and create new material, so she decided to leave rather than try to fight an impossible schedule. Also, she stated on her deviantart profile that leaving the show was NOT an easy, nor emotionally painless, decision to make.
-
Ms. Faust has inspired me to think up and create my own animated series! :) *thumbs up* Unfortuantely, though, I can't draw. :'(
-
I can
-
Look, I'm n-o-t a hater, alright? I just hate that she left the show...
-
me too
-
She is my HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
She's awesome :D
-
I hope he comes back from the show :( It's so sad that the genius behind this show left
-
correction "She".
-
Yeah, Woops XD
