I may do another contest in the future.
For now, I'm just going to work on art.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hello to all my watchers, and pony friends. I've decided it would be fun to challenge the imaginations of my fellow MLP:FiM fans

The ever important THEME!

We all know and love the mane six, (or at least some percentage of them), but not everypony out there is familiar with the older stories from the first generation of my little pony. Here is your challenge:

Twilight & friends have traveled through a mysterious door, sending them to the land of Dream Valley. The only way back home is to defeat an enemy from the past. Show the world how Twilight & her friends would have taken on one of the villains from the first generation of My Little Pony.

You may use characters from the first generation or replace them with one of the main 6 if necessary (can't have two AJ's or Spikes after all). You may switch a G1 character's gender if you like, but keep in mind that back then, there were only earth pony boys. You may choose any major or minor G1 antagonist. You may use any G4 ponies to join up with the main 6, but you must have the main 6 in your submission (so yes to the CMC, Big Mac, etc).

- Entries will be judged on imagination & how well it fits the theme.
