“THIS IS MY BOOTY! IT BELONGS TO ME! YOU CANNOT HAVE MY BOOTY!”

RUN BIG MAC

Come on, Mac! You think she’s cute as a bat, don’t resist! It’s fate! A vampire and her…um…stallion!

“Oh, c’mon, Big Macintosh. I just want to suck on your apple. …If that’s okay with you… I won’t bi-okay I do, but I promise it won’t hurt!”

ooo I applaud the way she is going about this. I hope she tracks her stats so she will be able to show other artists who are like ‘if nobody donates you will never see the full picture neener neener follow the carrot’ and show theft&piracy aren’t such a hueg thing (especially not in a fandom that throws frickin’ thousands at custom t-shirts and plushies)  
Brings to mind these three stories about game development.  
(more in-depth info about the first here from the developer’s own site)  
also maybe hopefully others will contact her to say how much they love this thing she’s doing, and perhaps say something like “I was only going to pay a dollar but then I realised you did my favourite picture of X (say, Bracelestia/Filly celestia) and when I realised you were the same artist I felt like I should also pay for the enjoyment of that FREE piece.”  
Because that seems to be what happens when someone bought something after getting those games free in those 3 links above.  
Also I’d like to point out the similarity between the graphs for 0.00 and $1 for the World of Goo PWYW sale I think a lot of people who do PWYW first get it for free, then chip in $1-$5 as a way to say “This isn’t the thing I normally like, but good job here’s a tip!”

Run, Macintosh! Run from the beautiful mare who wants to suck on you…  
wait…  
Don’t run, Macintosh!
