Greetings to both of my readers!
As many other folks, I've enjoyed the new incarnation of My Little Pony greatly. It's really refreshing to see US-made serial animation with a decent script and production values. UNLIKE most other "bronies" though, I've always been a fan, all the way back to the beginning of the franchise - which caused me no little hell when I was younger.
One of the fun things about my "Road" story is that the setting allows me free rein to "borrow" characters from other sources. The project I'm working on currently is a chapter featuring Luna from MLP:FIM. Preparatory to this, I've been watching both the full run of FIM, and every single other movie and MLP episode I can find online. I expect to finish the last of the G3.5 material tonight. Yes, a lot of it is beyond bad into horrible, but it's pretty presumptuous to write about something without properly researching it first. One final little project will be to watch the original MLP pilot and FIM premiere and compare the two to try and see what other Easter Eggs the team left in there.
I've been making notes for weeks about the chapter I'm working on for Luna, and in the process have sorted out and organized the overall story timeline significantly. With a little luck I'll get to the actual writing part in the next few days. Luna as represented in the story will be post-Harmony, and as true as I can make her to what little canon we know about the character. Like any good character, she will change through the course of the tale, but not in ways that I think will conflict with her established personality and history. And no, there won't be any "shipping" in this story, sorry folks. She may be technically ancient, but I don't feel she's emotionally mature enough for that. I'll keep such activities to my own characters, at least as far as I can see at the moment.
On the good side, though, she'll end up being pretty damned badass, in a good way - but I won't spoil the surprise here. I hope to return her to Equestria better than when she left. I'll probably write a small prologue so that the story can be taken and read out-of-context and still make sense. Beyond general background, everything should be pretty self-contained and wrap up neatly at the end.
So that's what I've been working on. Watch
marian for updates in the next couple of weeks, and as always, I really appreciate feedback, good or bad.
