A question, and a cry for help. · 3:33am Apr 6th, 2016
Good day, my (hopefully) faithful readers! Show Stopper here with a question regarding my story, A Heart Eclipsed.
As you know, Sora and Luna are set to travel Equestria, picking up Keyblade Masters and fighting heartless as they go. Using the cannon map of Equestria, we have already plotted out their rout.
However, there is a slight problem with said rout.
Canterlot
Ponyville
Appleoosa
Dodge Junction
Baltimare
Fillydelphia
Manehattan
Hollow Shades
Our Town
Cloudsdale
Vanhoover
Tall Tale
Los Pegasus
Ponyville
Canterlot
Now, most of this is no problem. I have great things planned for Hollow Shades, Our Town and Cloudsdale, and a good outline prepared for Vanhoover Tall Tale and Los Pegasus. The problem comes up in these next few stops.
Now, not much is going to happen in Dodge Junction, and Manehattan has something good planned for it as well, but we're hitting three big cities in a row, two of which have never appeared in the show, and none of which this shlub has ever visited in real life.
Hey! Is it MY fault my entire life's been spent in the western half of the US? Besides, I'm going to Baltimore in July.
And are you going to see anything other than your hotel room and the Baltimore Convention Center where they're hosting Bronycon?
...the stuff outside the window of the bus on the way? But yes, this is a bit of a problem for me. Put simply, I have no idea how to write three big cities in a row and keep it interesting. I am open to advice and suggestions because at this point, I'm considering coming up with some convoluted reason to keep them from going to those first two. Maybe have a displaced suck Sora out to a different Equestria for a month or so, but I really don't want to have to resort to constant crossovers to keep this story interesting.
So, any advice for us? Please comment below or on the story, or private message us with advice and what you would have us do with these two cities.
Thank y'all so much for this.
Unless you decide to remain silent, in which case...
Yes, that would be sad for us.
Signing off, Show Stopper and Show Stopper.
Brony and Thespian.
And so we go.
Well, how about basing them off real cities?
Ex. Boston, MA
Interesting things: On the ocean, very diverse place, historical sites aplenty.
Climate: Boiling in the summer, freezing in the winter. Otherwise pretty nice.
Ideas: Have something like people who reenact a big battle that happened in the past... then have pretty much the same battle happen. Or maybe something to do with the water?
I chose Boston because I know it well, but any city would work!
(Also, route is spelled with an 'e' at the end.)
3852154 A good idea, but I'm not sure how well it'll work for me since I've lived in the suburbs my whole life. But I will do some research and see what I can figure out. I do like the "historical battle reenactment" idea.
