Rogers initially became involved with Friendship is Magic from working with show creator Lauren Faust on Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Faust expressed a desire to bring Rogers in on the series if it got green-lit. When the season one episode The Ticket Master was originally eleven minutes long, Rogers helped flesh out the story to twenty-two minutes, which is why both Rogers and Faust receive writing credit.
