Welp, that did it. · 5:30pm Aug 9th, 2012
So here I am. I've finally made the leap from reading fanfiction to actually writing some. My wife is going to tease me forever for this. She things the show is "fun" or "good" but isn't a part of the fandom and certainly isn't a brony.
I've had a story knocking about in the back of my head for a while now and I felt that I had to let it out somehow and these beloved characters were the right format for this. The seed for Titanomachy is the Greek myth cycle of the same name. The Olympian gods (Zeus, etc) overthrew the previous generation of gods, the Titans. While the Titans oversaw many of the same aspects of reality as the Olympians, they were darker - more chaotic and dangerous. During the war, the blood spilled became the humans. I was thinking about bodies of the draconequuis and how they related to the species of Equestria. Blood shed from the lion's paw could have spawned the great cats. Blood from the cloven hoofed leg could have spawned goats, deer, and cattle. Particularly messy spills could lead to manticores or griffons.
What I'm trying to do is reveal this world building within a story about the princesses and twilight and frame it with the proper tension.
BTW, is there a method of changing the font size within one's story? I'm thinking of using a small font for Fluttershy.
