The only question left is; are YOU ready for more FUF?

Forward Progress

Founder of the "Keeping Friendship Magic" project, Forward Progress has been a part of the Brony convention scene since 2015. Combining his passion for social science with a love of ponies and pop culture, Keeping Friendship Magic aims to bring our community closer together by looking deeper into the shows we know and love. Forward’s additional projects in the community have delved into analysis, mythology, and everyone’s favorite element of harmony, laughter. Forward Progress is excited to return for his fifth TrotCon and to continue celebrating the magic of friendship!

Argembarger

Argembarger wrote, produced, and starred in The Spiderses over 8 years ago, on 8/8/11. With his infamy safely established for the rest of time, he has been preoccupied with helping run a video game company called Multivarious Games, which he claims can be found through Google. He has attended nearly every TrotCon, despite the concerns of staff and local fire marshals.

Fiaura the Tank Girl

Fiaura The Tank Girl is a scientist. The other analysts call her: The Princess of Explosions! Writer of Fallout: Equestria - Dead Tree! She regularly attends conventions for the purpose of showing off research on the fandoms of video games, anime, Warhammer 40K, and My Little Pony. Prepare yourselves, she is about to science your favorite ponies; Pinkie Pie Included.

Foalpapers

Foal Papers, known (occasionally affectionately) as Foaly, has been a fan of candy-colored magical friendship horses since early 2011. The pilot episode left him intrigued; by “Winter Wrap Up” he was hooked. Since then, he’s presented on the links between MLP:FiM and Greek mythology at academic conferences and fan conventions around the world. He’s also moderated panels with many of the Powers That Be of the franchise, co-hosted a plethora of charity auctions in support of excellent causes, and run around a lot in a perpetual befuddled hurry. Online, he’s participated in a variety of livestreams and shows, helped actively shape the fan community on Twitter, and tracked the fandom’s charity and convention undertakings with his beloved spreadsheets. Foaly enjoys tea and Jaffa cakes more than can be healthy, and is uncomfortable yet vaguely amused describing himself in the third person. When he’s not getting ejected from libraries for smelling the books, you can find him tweeting too much on @foalpapers, Be excellent to each other.

The Brony Critic
