About Equestria First And Only and some News · 10:25am Jan 6th, 2013
Hi there, guys!
My second story is already on site, ready for you. This blog post is about this story + little stuff about Equestria in Flames.
Okay, Equestria First and Only. If you really don't know original form ( Tanith First And Only by Dan Abnett ) I suggest you to read it, Dan Abnett is one of the few authors from Black Library who actually can write incredibly epic novels. It's kind of tribute to his story, I personally love history and adventures of the Gaunt's Ghost Regiment. Idea came up quitely strange. Main reason why I started this fic is that there is NONE, absolutely NONE fics, arts or whatever about First and Only. Yea, in this matter I'm first.
Important Point : It will not be exactly re-written Tanith First and Only. Quite opposite in fact. Here is a list, which will really probably change, comparing to the original.
- Gaunt character will be re-written a bit to stop his OP Gary Sue.
- Antagonists, like General Dravere will be re-written, not completely, but still.
- More threads related with normal Guardsmenponies life after Calling.
- There will be a characters that will be a references to original characters from Dan Abnett's novels ( like ponyfied doctor Tolin Dorden ).
- Main plot will be similar to the original, but I will change the order of events, set up more treads and make some epic stuff.
Bad News for Equestria and Flames readers. My work for this story will be sluggish now. I write two stories in the same time, I have now more work to do, so yea, don't expect next updates so fast. For consolation, I can tell you only that next Chapter about Fluttershy ( and Angel! Don't forget this bunny! ) will be extremely hilarious.
Stay Awesome
