[QUOTE="MichaelSomething, post: 7395785, member: 51168"] World building can be very helpful in fiction. Look at how world building improved My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! If you watch the series, you can learn a lot of things about the world like: Hearth's Warming Eve, the holiday that celebrates the founding of Equestia. It comes with a whole story of how the various pony races came together! Historical figures like Starshwirl the Bearded, and the rest of the Pillars; who where the ancient heroes of legend. How ponies activity manage the weather, as in they work to change the seasons from fall to winter, etc. The process of making Zap apple Jam, and how a strange fruit that requires very weird rituals to produce, put Ponyville on the map. The Legend of the Mare in the Moon, about an, uh, mare got banished to the Moon. Cutie Marks, the symbol that appears on ponies that help guide their destinies. Stuff like this adds depth to the show, as well as give the writers things to use to develop it's characters. [/QUOTE]
