    BUGHORSE NEWS

    Yes, I bring good news of Chrysalis story. I have finished the first draft of the next chapter and the editing team has already made a first pass on it. There's still a lot to do to polish it, but I'm hopeful that I can have it up and ready for your hungry eyes in one week. Keep a lookout!

    New year, new chapter

    Hope everyone is having a great New Year's Eve (or if you're in a part of the world where it's already 2022, hope the new year's been treating you well so far). Good news: the next chapter of Paint the Sky is written, we just need to take it through a few rounds of edits and revisions before I'm ready to post it. It will probably go live at the usual time on Wednesday.

Latest story is out! · 8:01pm Dec 2nd, 2013

EVERYBODY HYPE!!!!!!

Now that you've thoroughly hyped, what better way to test out the new fangled "story tagging feature" then by making a blog post about it? I'd like to take some time to talk about this story and perhaps answer some questions about it peeps may generally have.

Firstly, I want to say DON'T PANIC AND RUN AWAY IF YOU'VE NEVER WATCHED RED VS BLUE OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HALO. The first chapter may be a little confusing to people unfamiliar with the popular web series, but I promise that everything important to the plot of this story will be made clear for everyone. After all, this story involves seeing the RvB-verse through Twilight Sparkle's eyes, so if you know nothing about RvB you'll in a way be going on this adventure right along side her. That isn't to say that long time fans of RvB and Rooster Teeth as a whole won't be able to enjoy some subtle and not-so-subtle references as well.

I Against I, Me Against You is going to be a 3 act play, with each act somewhere around 10 chapters or so (give or take). I already have the entire storyline and each arc planned out down to the last detail

The rating: Not much to say here really. Anyone who watches Red vs Blue knows the show is notorious for its... colourful language. Additionally, some violence may happen here and there as is natural in a story about idiots with guns. Our little ponies and soldiers will get a few nasty boo-boos along the way, but don't expect any excessive gore.

The Tags:

Dark: Don't be scared away by this tag. It doesn't really come into play until much, much later (I'm thinking late act 2 and 3). Needless to say, this story won't ever cross into grimdark territory. Anyone who's a fan of RvB's later seasons should generally know what to expect.

Alternate Universe: This mainly applies to the RvB side of the story rather than the MLP. The story takes place after Season 5 of RvB, so we'll be seeing the events of the Recollections/Freelancer arc play out significantly differently than they do in the show. That being said, the MLP-verse will see a few minor changes to its canon as well, with this story taking place just after the Season 3 opener and going in a different direction afterwards.

I feel that I should clarify: I Against I, Me Against You is not just going to be "Seasons 6-10 of RvB but with ponies." C'mon! Flynt Coal is much more creative than that! Instead, my goal with this story is to combine the lore and backstory of both universes in such a way that they directly effect each other. I don't want to spoil just how I'll do that quite yet, though. You'll just have to READ THE STORY MWA HA HA HA HA!

That's really all I can think to say at the moment. If you have any more questions let me know in the comments!

Now I'm going to go drink some Flynt Cola while burning dumb hats.

Ooh, I thought you had put some good planning when I read the chapter, but now I'm certain. Always nice to hear an author actually knows how his story will end before he starts writing it.

RvB + Ponies.

You are an evil shisno, you know that?

Knock. Knock?
Who's There?
You are...
"You are" who?
You are a dirty dirty shisno. Ha ha ha...

Sweet, I'ma go read this story and mine some coal... flynt coal

While you have alleviated my worries of this being poorly concieved, I think I'll give this story status of "on my To Read list until more chapters release and I can sample more readily" for now.

Also, would this story begin before or after Maine obtains Sigma?

1569305 It takes place during/in place of season 6, at which point Maine already had Sigma and a bunch of other AIs to boot, so after!

1569316

:duck:
Hmmmm....

But that means this is post-timeskip so the teams would all be split up and says takes place in box canyon so only the three left would be there and the ship going to Equestria means it doesn't begin with Meta obtaining Beta, Gamma, and Omega from the crash at Outpost 17-B so unsure how jumps into Reconstruction especially when Wash wouldn't know of those reds and blues but would be hunting Meta anyway and the correspondence for Chairman and Director would have been over other matters or may never have started and... and...

:applejackunsure:
Eh. Says AU. No need to adhere to strict canon for where this splits from Ep.100 and Recovery One, I guess. Can start off any number of ways, just cannot picture it following any S6+ events in any progression similar to how it occurred. Will wait and see then.

Write on.


Oh, and wait, I meant Theta, not Sigma. Well, answered that anyway, oh well.

Nice reference to Gary there. :pinkiecrazy:

Whatever you say red command, or is it blu? i don't know anymore...

1569305 The Meta effectively is Sigma, and that actually happened long before Season 1 of Red vs Blue.

EDIT: When you said Maine I thought you said Meta, so just ignore the first part.

So, I have a question:

Tell me THE answer.

2570758
Forty-two? I waited six and a half million years for forty two?

Can you at least tell me the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

2571580 What do you mean? African or European swallow? :ajsmug:

2571683
I don't know that!

... Honestly, I was expecting more. I certainly wasn't expecting this sort-of Spanish Inquisition.

You'll just have to READ THE STORY MWA HA HA HA HA

You Fiend!!!
