Pony POV Series Season 7 Wedding Arc Is Now Complete · 8:07am Aug 6th, 2014

It took over eight months of posting, and even more of that of writing and editing, and 60 chapters, but Pony POV Series Season 7 "Not The Wedding You Remember" Is Finally Complete.

Highlights of the end result of this season include but are not limited to:
-Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle now have their cutie marks.
-Sweetie Belle can now use magic (But Twilight will have to teach her to use it RESPONSIBLY).
-Chrysalis has been turned into an innocent baby Alicorn.
-Prince Blueblood and "background" ponies helped save the day.
-Screwball/Golden Tiara is reunited with her husband Filthy Rich.
-Cadence has been crowned the queen of the changeling (is still a normal alicorn though).
-The changelings are now no longer an enemy of Equestria.
- Rainbow Dash and Derpy reconcile and become friends.
-Rarity's family is back together.
-Trixie made her big break in at Cadence's reception at her commission.
-And a dozen more things I hope you all enjoyed!

Up next will be the shocking final arc. Which is currently in the notes stage. But first there are some one-shots set in the pony pov universe that I've wanted to write up but didn't really fit into the wedding arc as a whole.

I really hope you all enjoyed the ride. I hope that you were entertained each chapter.

It was a long and hard journey, I ASKED MY READERS if they wanted this story arc included in the Pony POV Series, so I delivered.

Now I have to figure out all my notes for the finale arc. This ain't gonna be easy. Wish me luck. And again, I hope you enjoyed the show.

And the recursive works that have been published by other authors.

You've been great readers!

This took way way longer than I ever thought it would, but at last this season is complete.

If I may, I think you had too many characters this time. You tend to have an issue with finding different voices for your characters as it stands, and the constantly jumping around hurt the flow of the story a bit. Plus, with SO many characters, trying to dive into their minds gets old. Next time, I would suggest sticking with main characters.

Thank you for your honest opinion.

No problem. To be sure, I enjoy this series very much! But it was only after I realized what you were going for that I really came to like it. The constant monologues during battle, the long-winded speeches, announcing attacks: you're basically writing an anime. Once you get that, the story really becomes a lot of fun. I just think that most authors—and I include myself in this group—have a hard time when you add so many characters. Most people tend to ignore some of them., leaving them feeling unneeded, but you actually took the time to dive into them all... which was the issue. It dragged the pacing down.

Still, really liked this one, and now I can't wait to see Discord get his. Sad to see you go after that, but hey, it's been one hell of a ride. Even now, though, I find myself torn between wanting to see Diamond Tiara saved... and seeing her destroyed...

...I kind of had this silly idea where the Interviewers could go over to the Infinite Loops setting and ingterview the Equestrian loopers, as sort of a throwback to the early days of Pony POV. Cross published chapters, you know?

Of course, that would require you to either have an understanding of the Loops setting, which from a few comments in this arc I sense you don't, collaborate with a loop writer, of which there are plenty, or outsource the interviewers to the loop writers themselves.

Would you mind if I put this idea over on the Loop writing thread and give you snips as they're written? It's usually "Write whatever whenever, let the group critique, put up for compilation when it's fixed up, wait for Saph to collect snips to compile from compilation thread."

I started reading this season just as it ended. Let's see if I can catch up before the next season.

The irony is that I wrote Nightmare Eclipse and the idea of Discord's personal hell (which was extended to everyone's hell) long before I ever heard of the infinite loops (and before the first part for MLP was ever posted). I actually READ several chapters of the story until I stopped reading it in disgust. Dark World is effectively an unbuilt trope of the Loops.

Good luck! Gonna take me a bit to get my notes in order.

Which loops did you read? Innortal's loops are kinda reviled by the loop writers, and are only referenced in broad strokes. And if you're talking about the MLP loops...

What, exactly, do you hate about them?

2349707

"It's so adorable you think you're more awesome than us."

That line killed any interest I had in the series at that point.

The 'banish all Equestria to the moon in a Conversion-verse while drunk' buried it.

Also, the fact that the story is doomed.

The only way the story will end is when readers loss interest and move onto something else, and explore a whole bunch of ponies who suddenly have a reset button, and suddenly can't count on their meta-knowledge anymore, IMHO is far more interesting than the loops themselves.

The MLP Loops Series did the following for me:
Made me feel SORRY for every evil overlord and boss that I've ever fought on a new game plus.
Made me feel like I was CHEATING with any game with multiple lives.
Made me unable to start a new game of Long Live The Queen, because I felt I was cheating starting the game all over again even though the princess died.
It never made me laugh.
Made me feel like I was in a story with ever growing monsterous blobs of god-mode sues.
Makes me feel like a cheater every time I use knowledge to avoid dying in a level in a game that my character had no way of knowing.
Partially ruined my ability to enjoy "Best Night Ever" a groundhog day loop story involving Blueblood.

Also, my vision of a Loopers part?
Demon Homura severing Twilight and RD from all their past lives (similar to what she did to Goddess Modoka), reducing them mere mortal instead of god-mode-sues and kicking their asses, telling them this timeline is hers "and Madoka's" alone, and spares them just to give that message to the goddesses, and then kicked them back to their own world. (Since goddess Madoka appears in the MLP Loops, and Demon Homura reducing Madoka back to a mere mortal and stealing away her power is what happens next in the films).

The Loopers fic LESSENED my ability to enjoyed stories, and my ability to enjoy video games.

It was as hideous for me as 'The Night Magic Died' fan comic where the Mary Sue bashed on Celestia, and when the villain sue did his 'reveal' that the sky's an illusion and the universe as dead, which was pretty much the comic artist gona "NYA NYA!" to the unique geocentric design of the pony's solar system.

I HAVE read Loops. More than one chapter. And it really is NOT my cup of tea.

2349707

I'm sorry. I get that you like it. But I don't like it. You have your reasons for loving it. I have my reasons for not loving it. I took Seph off my watch list so I wouldn't have to be reminded of it, and only check on him to see if it's burned out or done yet. I'm sorry. I know you and a TON of other readers LOVE IT, but I am not one of them. Sorry.

Makes me feel like a cheater every time I use knowledge to avoid dying in a level in a game that my character had no way of knowing.

Might not want to play "Gods Will Be Watching" then.

I don't care much for most point and click games anyway.

I use a Mac. Sadly the only JRPG on GOG.com is windows only.

2349996 It's more of a time management game. Soundtrack is kick ass but the game is rough - flawed. Northernlion did a complete let's play of it if you are curious. I got it from GOG (not steam - steam got some problems) and had a blast*.

*Disclaimer: I'm not a healthy minded, sane person.

Again, thank you very much your honesty.

I find myself torn between wanting to see Diamond Tiara saved... and seeing her destroyed...

I doubt that Alex is going to kill Diamond. It would be just a cruel Way to end this Part of the Story, just to maybe push Rarity and maybe Screwball over the Limits (maybe turning into Nightmares)

I would rather have her redeemed and befriend the CMC. Alex has proven that even those who seem unredeemable can change (just look at Dark Worlds Fluttercruel and Discord). Also Diamond might say she doesn't have a Heart but maybe she will get a new one after getting hit with the Elements, turning her into a Minor Arcana.

As someone who seemed to miss this arc, man does time fly by. I've been drifting away from mlp for a few months, this arc seems like a perfect reason to get back into it.

I hope you enjoy this baby.

So much time has passed... I hope you still want to see how things turn out.
