Hello! I'm Matt
I became a fan of MLP about a year 1/2 ago when I was introduced to it by my partner in crime and her best friend (Who is also on the forum!)
When I was shown this I was a bit skeptical at first, but grew to love it rather quickly. My favorite pony has to be Applejack (G4), her honesty and attitude towards her friends is very simular to how I go about things myself, including being stubborn and not asking for help when they clearly need it
When I grew to love the show, I looked towards the fandom/social side, I loved how the people were so loving, caring and full of creativity.
So I asked to help run a facebook page with a friend where I can talk to others who enjoy the show just as much as myself, however being socially anxious, it was a really big jump to do something like that. However when I talked to other and saw how accepting and welcoming they are, it really helped! The fandom side of things has done wonders for me, being able to talk to others without being judged and meeting many people who share the same love for something really helped me come out of my shell!
My first convention was infact UK Ponycon this year, where my partner in crime and her best friend asked me to come along, since they had been the previous year, where they had also volunteered, they told me it would be awesome if I could join. I did join them this year rather anxious but excited, however I jumped right in by trying to help volunteer around the convention with them both and needless to say I loved every second of it!
I honestly can't sum up into words how the convention was, it's one of those things where you have to experience it
Thanks for the awesome convention and can not wait till the next place is announced, because I'll be coming back for sure!
(Sorry if it sounds abit confusing in places, I get anxious when it comes to introductions!)
