Is there an OFU for Friendship is Magic yet?

Besides the 'yes, there is', I'm actually one of the coauthors.
One of the main reasons it hasn't been updated since then is because while my coauthor and I do have an outline and most of the next chapter written, with more thorough treatments of the next few, we also (especially me) have wound up exceptionally busy.
Would a raincheck there work? -

In that case, I'll have to leave a review application on
the Pitfanfic.net! *rubs hooves together* This is so cool! Can I have your internet-autograph? -

Well, while I wait for Permission, I've decided to claim AuroraDawn's Pegasus device ( http://www.fimfiction.net/story/68356/pegasus-device ).
Although I can't seem to delete it from the Unclaimed list. It won't let me edit. -
As a matter of fact, there is. by

It hasn't updated since 2012, though. Most OFUs tend to go for a couple of chapters and then stop updating for some reason.
It's possible to create more than one OFU, though (there have been two for the Pokemon universe). It's just that I'm not sure how the Board would react to having another MLP OFU replace the original. -
Not that it would matter. ^_^ by

The OFUs are an entirely separate concern to the PPC. We're all in the Canon Protection Initiative, but there's no overlap of responsibility. OFUs can be written entirely without reference to the PPC Board - in fact, since Miss Cam opened it up, entirely without reference to anything other than a credit to her.
We try to keep track of the OFUs, because we're the most cohesive part of the CPI around. Similarly, the vast majority of OFUs have been by PPCers, for much the same reason. But an OFU doesn't need permission, consent, or approval from the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, or anyone else.
(Obviously in this case, the fact that the person writing the old one is, like, right there puts a different spin on things: it'd be pretty rude to try and replace July's work. But in general, the above)
(Though if anyone tries to usurp the Discworld OFU, there will be blood)

July is a lot less active than she was, say, when I joined. Some of the newer newbies might not have interacted with her all that much.
