Welcome to the Backgroundverse! · 11:06pm Jul 31st, 2013
No, my first story will not lead into a huge collaborative project on a scale the likes of the Lunaverse (it'd be too complicated, and I'd like to have some semblance of control over this whole thing). But I will be working on several other stories that use this new continuity. With that in mind, here are some things to note:
This is still a crossover story with Doctor Who. As such, there will be several stories that play out like an actual episode of DW, such as this next one I'm working on now. However, my goal is to keep these stories more or less true to the original spirit of MLP. In other words, if you've watched The Sarah Jane Adventures, expect the tone to be similar to that.
Most stories that use little, if any, DW elements will be retellings or re-imaginings of key episodes within the MLP:FiM series: this includes major episodes like Return of Harmony or The Crystal Empire; or memorable ones like Cutie Mark Chronicles or Luna Eclipsed.
[SPOILERS FOR MLBP:FRIENDHIP IS MAGIC AHEAD!!!!!!] As the Doctor/Turner mentioned at the end of this story, much of the time- and spatial-traveling, when we get to that point (it won't be for a few more stories yet), will be restricted to just Equestria until such time as I see fit to let the Doctor broaden his scope.
That sounds like all the important details for now. I may post some more blogs that act as info sheets on the characters, world, and such later on for the benefit of newcomers or for people who just want to read more on this new universe. Until then though, I got some writing to do, B!verse and otherwise.
This is CF signing out.
