Looking at some of her answers thus far, one of them, specifically about writing story structures, stood out to me. I've always admired Meghan's work on the show, so learning more about the way she composes an episode is extremely fascinating to me.

Honestly, most of the answers are kinda... thin.

I was going to say, these largely seem like non-answers. It would've been nice if she could've gone in-depth more, but with the format of this, I guess it's basically the online equivalent of taking questions at a con's Q&A panel.

Well considering they probably spent most of the Q&A skimming through all the questions about the leaks, also a billion "why aren't there more boy ponies" questions.

Is there some "tl:dr" version of the Q&A?

There really isn't much of substance. I'm not sure there's anything worth "tl;dr"ing.

It was fun to read, but not much is said. As a fan of McCarthy's work, there were a couple good statements about writing (like the one I brought up earlier) that I found helpful, but other than that, I agree that there wasn't too much there.
