Ya know, it's never been really clear on that. If I recall correctly, in the opening narration of the first episode it's referred to as the land of Equestria, so...

On a rather unrelated topic, he might not be as famous as the Nostalgia Critic or Linkara, but I think the Hardcore Kid might be an FiM fan. He used a clip from the show in his latest review.
I was thinking of a storyline involving the shards of those broken friendship crystals. Though of course I'd have to double-check in case they were vaporized or something, it's been a while since I watched the first couple episodes.
I'm also trying hard not to turn certain original characters into Mary Sues. It's harder than you'd think sometimes. @_@
You've shattered my mind and rearranged the pieces into something beautiful.

You mean elements of harmony? I think they turned into their accessory form (element of magic became a crown, while the others became necklaces), probably still held by the respective ponies who represent the said elements/virtues? Though they never showed up again since the pilot episodes, so who knows.

Is it possible to write MLP fanfiction without any OC's in some form?
That depends, do background ponies count?
Id have to say they would also be OC's because you would have to make up most of the information for them. Take Lyra for example. All we know about her is that she is probably somewhat musical. Everything else about her would be your own creation.

Well then...oh hey! I just realized that if we're going with just the mane six, then I already wrote a fic like that! I killed Fluttershy in it!

Well...actually it was a two-chapter story. The first chapter was the other five at Fluttershy's funeral, but then in the second chapter it was revealed to be a vision of the future Twilight had, and the group went off to save Fluttershy from a couple of giant scorpion monsters in an epic battle. So happy ending.
Sense when was fitting the mood of the show the point of a fan fiction. In my eyes its the exact opposite point.
My idea was using my characters (available in a comment made a while back). A good 2000 so years in the future. Meaning all the old characters excluding the princesses and spike are long gone. The leader was a knight to king Chrono who has him assemble a team and form a guild. the reason is because they are supposed to be the elements of chaos (hehe sonic) and he plans to use them like Clestia used the elements of harmony (twight and co.)
I think outside of novelty stories, it's pretty important for fan fiction to "feel" like the work it's based on. If not, that's about as jarring as when you make characters act out of character!

Well from my perspective fanfiction is written because it gives you something you can't get from the original content. Something you desire that you know you'll never get other wise. Like me wanting fanfics of House pets involving fighting and swords and that stuff. Manipulate the universe into a new situation. Other wise there's no point because you might as well watch the source material.
(just so you guys no I had to try alll night just for my internet to send this post)
To me, it seems most important not for the feel of the show to be present, but the feel of the characters. Unless something traumatic or dramatic happens to alter a character, they really should act as they would if the fic were a part of the show.
I don't read the action-y fan fiction. I just read the normal or comedy ones. Except for this one FMA/MLP crossover, but otherwise it's all light hearted stuff.

So they're now possessed by the main cast? That actually probably works out better for my idea, since one of the OCs I was kicking around in my head is sort of a thief-type character. (Though not that bad a guy, really.)
And is Trixie generally considered to still be evil-ish? Since I don't think we've seen her outside that one episode.

She was never evil just mean. Theres a very big difference.
on another subject did anyone here thank of doing one of those character theme song videos.
Cause I was thinking of making another channel just to do that.

Well, they might have left it back at the old castle, or with Princess Celestia. Frankly, we don't really know where they are now. But any of them would probably work for you anyway.
Edit: Unless it vanished because it wasn't needed anymore, then it wouldn't work for you!

I agree with Ex, she is probably just mean or a big attention/fame seeker.
