A change to the upcoming My Little Pony: One as a Family saga: Now called Operation Daisy Joy and Beyond · 3:51pm Oct 19th, 2023
I apologize for not having the 3rd Saga to One as a Family out already. My life has been busy lately with all sorts of stuff going on. The good news, is that I have completed four arcs to this saga.
Now I need to make this announcement. I have delayed my release of the first chapters of Saga 3 to an undisclosed date. I will let you all know when I will start releasing this 3rd Saga. That being said, after much thought, I am going to extend the number of arcs from 13 to a bigger number. There are many reasons why I'm doing this.
1) I have realized that I will be writing more than 50 parts for this arc. And there will be a lot of story to pump out for Operation Daisy Joy. So, I will extend the story for longer than expected. And here's some good news: The story will continue after the final battle between the Equestrian Resistance and the Order of Gold Banks. And that will lead us into my second reason.
2) I will have the rest of the Saga take place in Evevanya. That's right. After much thought, I am going to extend the story into the land of Wanda's origins. Evevanya is gonna be a nod towards enchanted fantasy tales and to Generation 1 My Little Pony(In some ways). I will also introduce the concept of the Dawn and the Dusks: Two human-like creatures that are but one of many races in Equestria
3) I will explore the origins of the Equestrians. This is gonna be a major spoiler, but....I will talk about the idea that the Equestrians(Not just the Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns, but other races like Changelings, Dragons and Hippogriffs) came from Evevanya instead of just Equestria. A major change from how Friendship is Magic painted the origins of the Equestrians.
4) Expect the appearance of the remaining Generation 4 MLP Villains from the TV series. So far, the villains of G4 that made it into this fanfic are Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon, Chancellor Abacus Cinch, Cozy Glow, Queen Chrysalis, Fizzlepop Berrytwist/Tempest Shadow, the Storm King, the Pony of Shadows, Juniper Montage, the Dazzlings, Wallflower Blush, Vignette Valencia, Gloriosa Daisy and King Sombra. The 3rd arc will see the last three MLP villains make it into the series with some changes. Discord and Grogar will be in it, with different roles and different origins. And this will include, the final point.
5) The return of Tirek. 2024 will mark the 10th anniversary of the Season 4 finale: Twilight's Kingdom. For many fans, the introduction of the first My Little Pony villain Tirek caught everyone by surprise and it was meant with a highly positive reception. Tirek will appear in the 2nd half of the saga. Like with Discord and Grogar, he will have a different origin story, and I will build his own arc up for what may be a giant conclusion to the saga. Even if it doesn't turn out as grand as the fight between Twilight Sparkle and Tirek, at least I'll try to pull it off.
Anyway, I'll let you all know when Saga 3 will release. Stay tuned.
