Something to Keep in Mind · 3:40pm Jun 16th, 2015
I'm quite pleased by the response that Transdementia has received so far; the big problem with sequels is that people who haven't finished the previous stories understandably put the more recent ones on their "Read Later" lists, so the fact that this story managed to reach the hallowed Feature Box is no mean feat. Thank you for your support.
Going forward, there's something you might want to know which could help you understand where the story is headed: I haven't actually watched Equestria Girls yet, nor do I intend to until this story is finished. This isn't because of some sort of stuck-up prejudgment of quality, but rather because I'd rather not be tempted to simply rearrange the characters while leaving the plot more or less the same.
That being said, I did use the FIM wiki's page on the movie as a starting point, and while planning the story, I used it for inspiration whenever I got stuck. I hope that the end result feels like a genuine adaptation of the original story to a different AU, rather than one that adheres rigidly to the original plotline or one that is completely unrecognizable by the end.
Huh. Well, knowing that, this should be especially interesting.
Good plan.
I'm not sure if that's a clever idea or a dumb one. Either you're avoiding a pitfall or needlessly handicapping yourself. We'll just have to see how it works out, I suppose. I will say that with Penny and Pinkie being the ones sent instead of Twilight, I'm pretty sure things would go fairly differently either way.
Once you have watched the movie, you should read Cafeteria Control, it's an excellent parody of the second EqG movie based entirely on the trailers that came out before the movie did and still somehow works.
Though to be honest, I am partly just happy to see some quality Equestria Girls work. We need more good EQG fanfics.
Also keep in mind, he has pre-readers like me who HAVE seen it, so we can give him a nudge if he goes too far off course.
That makes sense I guess. I'll try not to spoil anything then, so long as you agree to blog about what you think of the movies once you are done.
