First Community Guests Announced: Amelie Belcher & Rina-chan

May 17, 2013 in Guests, Programming, Slideshow

Announcing our first two community guests! One has been a lifelong fan of My Little Pony and the other returns from Brony Fan Fair 2012!

Amelie “Ami-Chan” Belcher

Favorite Ponies: Baby Dusty (G1) & Derpy

Amelie Belcher

Amelie “Ami-Chan” Belcher was born in Baton-Bloody-Boring-Rouge Louisiana where the combination of chemical plant fumes and river water did major damage to her fragile little mind at an early age. By all accounts, she started drawing at the age of five (when she figured out that the pencil goes on the paper and not up your nose) and didn’t stop drawing until she ran out of paper… twenty years later. Amelie taught high school art for four years, but lost interest in teaching when it cut into her quest to collect all the dragon balls and forcibly evolve her Pokemon into the Old Spice Guy. She is also the artist behind the manga “Loud Snow” and the web comic “The Real Life Adventures Of Amelie” seen currently at amiarmy.com. Amelie now travels the country selling her award winning artwork and doing one of a kind stand up drawing panels where she secretly sneaks art education into peoples minds between hilarity.

A life long lover of My Little Pony, Amelie amassed a collection of over 160 G1 ponies before they went out of production. She sold the bulk of them to pay for her college education and now regrets going to college. Simply put, she wants her ponies back. If you’re a classic MLP fan, you’ll find a friend in Amelie.

Rina-chan

Favorite Ponies: Minuette(Colgate) & DJ Pon-3(Vinyl Scratch)

Rina-chan

That’s right. Voice actress and amazing super-talent Rina-chan will return to Brony Fan Fair 2013 this September.

Rina-chan is well-known for her various voice work in the fandom with the Colgate Brushie song as well as her work as Twilight Sparkle in the PONY.MOV series. She is also voicing Mayor Mare in the upcoming Fighting is Magic. Rina-chan also works in the voice acting industry as Kira Buckland and can be heard in video games such as Skullgirls as Bloody Marie, Heroes of Newerth as the Seductive Announcer, Castle Crashers as Medusa and Princess voices. Most recently, she can be heard as Izumo Kamiki in “Blue Exorcist” and Madoka Kyouno in “LaGrange”.

Rina-chan has over 30+ brony voice projects to her name and that doesn’t even count the 1000 different voices she’s done overall since 2004! Check out her website and tell her how awesome she is at www.rina-chan.com.

2012 Guests: Celestia Radio, The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, PonyKart

August 6, 2012 in Guests, News, Programming

Celestia Radio

Celestia Radio was the first Brony music internet radio station and continues to service the community and its members. Headed by co-owner and operator DJ Shamrock with hosts like Qcom and DJ KBrony, Celestia Radio has the largest Brony music archive available for broadcast on the ‘net; hosts numerous sets and popular shows such as Bronyville, The Brony Hour, and Prance Around the World; provides interviews and community spotlights; and acts as a proud Brony Press member while providing live audio and video broadcasts from numerous Brony conventions. At Brony Fan Fair, Celestia Radio will be providing live music and broadcasting. Check their stream out at http://ponify.me and find them on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube at CelestiaRadio.

Midnight Magic Productions

Midnight Magic Productions is a small company whose goal is to give back to our wonderful Brony community and to inspire more people to go out, to start their own projects, and to chase their dreams. MMP was founded by random Bronies who came together to work on a little audio project called “The Vinyl Scratch Tapes: The Master Recording.” Since then, we all became friends, closer than any of us thought possible. Sharing tragedies and joy, we all learned that friendship truly is magic and it is our dream to share that magic with the rest of the world. We are soo excited to bring that dream to Brony Fan Fair and to show you all what we have in store for the coming months.

PonyKart

PonyKart is a fanmade racing game based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The team is “just a mess of people from around the internet who like ponies and want to make a game with them! None of us receive any money or anything from working on this, as it’s just a fangame we work on in our free time as a hobby.” You can follow their website at www.PonyKart.net. Check out the following trailer showcasing Twilight Sparkle at Sweet Apple Acres!

Mascot Named! Panel Submission Open!

June 25, 2012 in Community, News, Programming

Brony Fan Fair Mascot Named!
A few weeks back, we asked people in the Brony community, “What should we name our mascot?” We were looking for a great name that best described her personality and aspirations, as well as lend support to Brony Fan Fair’s vision of promoting a pro-Brony environment at our convention.

“This name embodies her reach for the stars, the forward vision of Texas, and even matches her cutie mark (note that’s its rising, not falling).” – Facebook user Hazel Desmoulins

Please look forward to seeing more of our images with Rising Star. We’re also taking any fan art anyone would like to create of her. If we like it enough, we’ll even use it in future BFF media! E-mail bronyfanfair@gmail.com with Rising Star fan art to show how much you’re excited about Brony Fan Fair!

Panel Submission Now Open!
We are now taking panel submissions for Brony Fan Fair 2012. Do you want to run your own panel to celebrate the background ponies of My Little Pony? How about a game with My Little Pony as a theme? Submit any kind of panel you want and it doesn’t even have to be related to My Little Pony! Heck, we’ll even take panel submissions with Pokemon as a topic! Submit a panel for Brony Fan Fair now!

Panel Submission will be open until August 3rd, 2012, Midnight CST.
