Die Crystal Ponies hatten wohl ein Königreich wie Equestria und irgendwie scheint wohl auch die Macht der Alicorns daran zu hängen ("Her magic will not last forever")
Möglicherweise gibt es also einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Magie und dem Kristallturm. Vieleicht muss alle paar hundert Jahre ein Ritual dort durchgeführt werden, aber keiner weiß mehr wie/Celestia und Luna sind beschäftigt?

Anyway, I sat through the recording of the Comic Con panel and took a bunch of notes. The stuff before the Q&A was stuff we've heard pretty much all before.

Meghan's favorite episode to write: Party of one, and loves crazy pony episodes. Couldn't believe she was actually getting to write it.

"The episode where Fluttershy turns into a dragon" said by Tabitha. Gag? S3?

Fan questions:

Derpygate, "Will we see her talk again?" "We are all big fans of our 2012 exclusive pony. We do love her, support her, we think she didn't do anything wrong. All the attention did scare her, so for the time being, she will hang out in the background, but who knows what the future holds."

How'd you get de Lancie? Usual answer "Lauren thought of it, we tried and we got him."

Princess Lauren, will she be in the show? "Maybe." Seaponies? "Maybe."

How does Andrea do both Pinkie and Flutters? Usual answer.

Did people notice/know that songs were Sondheim references? "Yes, we knew."

If you could voice any bg pony, which one would it be? They discuss the incidentals, then people ask for Octavia. Cathy busts out an Octavia voice and says "she'd have to have a duet with Rarity." It sounded like a what-if thing, not something that happened.

Any of you read fanfic? Resounding boos. And no, they can't read it.

Rainbow dash, someone thinks she's a lesbian. "It's not really suggested in the show!" Cathy thinks it's great that people are taking the characters and making them feel feelings and stuff, really saves the day after that awkward questions.

Question for Tabitha about Luna. How was it doing the royal canterlot voice? "Lets me tap into my inner boisterousness."

"Would you guys like to see more Luna?" asks the panel host. YES, says the crowd.

Does Tabitha record herself separately or does she talk to herself? "They talk to themselves." "Tabitha loves talking to herself."

Do you bring cookies, is this true? "Yes! It's all part of her dastardly plot to take over the studio."

More back and forth with the writers and VAs? "They do what I tell them to." - Meghan.

Something about Spike / Rarity: "Boy, that's creepy." Couldn't really make this one out, since it was a lousy phone recording.

Does Andrea get exhausted after doing Pinkie? "You got it!"

What will be coming from Spike? "Singing! Doesn't know what's to come, would love to see him sing, favorite song." Cathy is a very accomplished musician, says Tabitha.

Is there a return of Trixie? "Not allowed to say, but expect some great and powerful things."

Where did Discord go? "Stone." "Starship Enterprise?"

Two words. Season three? "Fall 2012."

Tara, thanks for helping Kiki, etc.

You have an army of fans, what can you command them to do? "Bring me chocolate! sez Cathy."

What are your cutie marks? "Look at my OC on twitter!"-Meghan.

The flutterdragon and Octavia things sounded like off the cuff gags to me, given how coy they were about everything else in S3. I would not actually expect those two things to happen.
