EOJ TEAM MEMBER NEEDS OUR HELP!
Things have been tough on lots of people lately, and while EoJ is coming along (we’re doing it, we’re getting 3-6 together at last, the curse shall be broken), one of our lovely EoJ teammates is in need! We’d be nothing without Cadet who voices Sonata and Applejack and has further helped out in art and concept art. She’s done so much for us, the least we can do as a community is give back to her.
Recently, she had lost her main source of income and had an emergency surgery. Since, she’s been hit with bills, debt, and late fees, struggling to afford food for herself and her cat as a result. It’s been causing a great deal of distress for Cadet especially as the page has seen no support since this morning.
Which is where we at EoJ had to step in! Since the beginning, we’ve made it a part of our culture that we be there and support all of our members in their times of need and this is no different. If you can take some time and donate to the GoFundMe or purchase items from Cadet’s ko-fi, we’d be so appreciative. She’s also looking to do a stream on Friday and Saturday, one on her Twitch the other her YouTube, doing doodles for $5.
If you can’t donate, share this or the links listed below around! Together, we can help Cadet keep her head above the red!

Hey there, EoJ Fans!
Seems there’s been a bit of misinformation going around about the project. Wait? Strangers on the internet can just… say things?! Things that aren’t true?!
We’ll never post major updates in the comment section of old videos unless it’s to say something like “Casting Call Closed” or to reference that we missed something in the credits, explain a mistake and that usually happens within a week of an episode’s posting. In the unlikely event EoJ does get canceled, you'll know because we will post about it in big, bold letters. If you didn’t hear something from an official EoJ member, which you can look their names up in the credits of any given video (I’d recommend the most recently posted episode, or see the fan server), or from the official account, it’s probably rumors, false information, or someone spreading rotten stuff about the project for some reason. That’s the internet for ya!
But if the project isn’t dead, where are the posts, where are the episodes?!
Sadly, there is no magic button that makes a project poof into existence. No special pen to write a script in a day, tools to make a scene with a snap of your fingers, and nothing to simplify our current complex process. In order to create what we do with this level of quality and detail, we must use a multitude of different programs, using intricate and complex processes, and tools we have personally created managed by teams of people in different time zones with only so much time to give. Anyone who’s worked with coding knows how easily code can break and boy did it!
But why do people think the project is over and why the audio engineer working on the project quit?
Simple conflation! Also, because we haven’t posted much. Silence isn’t always a bad thing as scary as it may be because in some cases, it means a project died. In this case, it means we’re working super hard! The process of fixing our rendering tools and system turned into a larger project than we expected, including sorting through all the other complex tools and processes alongside it. Without much to update on, we’ve been silent. Right now, things are looking better than ever AND we’re fixing the coding so well, it’s easier and simpler to use plus other awesome and helpful adjustments! Huzzah!
As for the audio engineer, when have we ever said one guy does the audio? If you’re concerned that we have no audio team, check the credits of our episodes! You’ll find there are many people who work on this project. Our audio guy was not found in the fan server, ergo, people assumed he had just up and left. Actually, he’s not much of a PR guy, it’s why he left the fan server to PR to manage! He just needed to step back from some places that didn’t need him, that’s all. Doesn’t mean nothing is happening, we have a hard-working audio team doing work as I type this, just that he didn’t have time for the fan server.
But what about the voice actors!
They’re here. It was just a single recast and that’s well and sorted. Recasts happen often with online volunteer projects. We’ve had several casting calls in our time and we’ll have several more before it’s done because life happens! Do we need more help soon? Oh yes, but that’ll be for a future update. Is it so bad we can’t do anything? Not at all! We’re getting close to having a complete first draft of 3-6, but we’re going to need maybe another couple months.
People have lives, they have jobs, go to school, have commitments more important that EoJ will ever be. They kindly give their free time and talent to a passion project for nothing but the promise of friendship, love of the fandom and creation, and a good time, and that means we’ll never move at the speed of a studio series. We must take things at our natural pace else the team burns out and the project dies. The answer for an episode getting out is a good cup of patience and another of understanding. We need a lot of cups right now as we sort out our kinks and work to get our best quality out there.
EoJ is very much alive and in the works! We’re doing our best and we’re looking to get a proper update out soon. We’d put it in text, but there’s too much to put into a post! But making that kind of update will take time. Not too much longer. By the creative gods, we will get this out before the end of the year and 3-6 with it!
If you’re ever curious about what’s going on or want faster updates, the EoJ Discord fan server is your go to! Our official team members are there, and they can give official updates and answer questions. Just don’t ask when the next episode will come out or any behind the scenes details that asks for more than we can reasonably give, and please, don’t pester them. They’re there to have fun and chat with the fans, not play twenty questions every day. Episodes will come out when they are completed and that’s that.
Fan Server Here: discord.gg/elementsofjustice
We hope to get back to the norm of posting on our socials and putting out episodes soon! Stay tuned, it won’t be too much longer.

EOJ ARTIST IN NEED!
We’ve got another EoJ member financial emergency, everyone! Beppi, or Bepis-Boii, who has done so much for our backgrounds and art in general, has come into an issue with money. Specifically:
“My gas company overcharged me for a bill and I now am completely broke and got bills coming in by tomorrow. If you have any money to spare, please donate or commission me!”
Unlike with Joel back in December, Beppi only needs $130, but unlike Joel, Beppi needs the money a whole lot sooner! If you can, please donate, and if you can’t, spread the word! Beppi is already 65% of the way there so all that’s needed is another $46 at least! Though extra is always appreciated. Every little effort helps: ko-fi.com/bepisboii/goal?g=0
Beppi is taking commissions, but donations are always welcome. If we could help Joel get the money he and his family needed in just a week, we can help Beppi in just a day or two!

Welcome to Elements of Justice! Here you will find the sequel to the legendary AA x MLP crossover, Turnabout Storm!
After the events of Turnabout Storm, Phoenix returned home to continue his life as a lawyer. During this time, he experienced the dark age of the law which he helped bring to an end, thanks to his new allies Apollo and Athena. However, during those tumultuous years in the human world, only a year and a half passed for Twilight and her friends. For them, a dark cloud has begun to form over Equestria, with supposed murders now becoming an ever-present issue, threatening to destroy the harmony which has reigned for so long.
Will the Wright Anything Agency save Equestria...or will their return bring about its total collapse? It is up to Phoenix and company to find the truth and hopefully bring peace back to this troubled land.
