) and I've put it off many times, so, I'm putting it out to all of you.It will be it's own story altogether · 8:08am Nov 7th, 2016
After having considered all the comments about my Clover the Clever arc in my Twilight's Twinlight, having all day at work to think about it (during which i realize a HUGE plot hole problem that would arise), i have come to the decision that i will make the arc it's own story, completely separate from Twilight's Twinlight.
The new story will still have a human finding themself turned into the pony we know as Twilicorn, though sent straight into the past. I will also make it work a bit better in regards to the human's original name. You'll see what i mean.
This way, i will be able to show more of the story as well as tell. as to why the character will turn into Twilicorn; another story following the popular fan theory did something similar. a lot of the plans and implied things for the arc will be in this story. it will also start at a point BEFORE the Windigoes' snow storm got to the point where we know it did.
Most things will stay the same, inlcuding the birth of the Tree of Harmony.
I hope you understand why i am doing this, one, so i can give more love to that idea once i've had enough of Twilight's Twinlight for a while and also because, as several people have stated, it just took things away from the main story and i also chose way too soon for it to happen even if i were going to keep it in Twilight's Twinlight. I mean, ONE week? Ken's barely gotten over dying, having his gender switched, his species changed completely and learning the fact (s)he is now a double of one of the most magically powerful ponies to ever life, then suddenly in the past, gotten the hang of being a pony and just okay with everything.
....
Yeah, see why i've decided to change it to it's own story?
Anyway, i'll try and get chapter 7 of Twilight's Twinlight down by the end of Thursday (Australia Time). I will let you know that, up to the point Ken and Twilight meet up with Celestia and Luna, it will be the same as the original version of chapter 7, however, whereas the chapter ends with Ken being zapped into the past by that spell, now it will continue onwards for a bit longer, including Ken meeting a certain stallion who will be unable not to remember their first meeting for all the wrong reasons.
Thank you, and, sorry for all the confusion. Look forward at some point before December, The First Princess: The Untold Life of Clover the Clever
Man, you're going to be busy.
Too bad I was just a bit late to read now removed chapters.
Still, I think that this outcome is quite acceptable.
Yes it is the best solution i think.
4288578 i had to laugh that you say that with THAT avatar
4288579 I'll try to remember to PM you when the fic they'll now be in comes out... unless it comes out whilst i'm at work and you end up finding it before i get home and can PM you
sounds good.
This was a good decision. I don't think the years she'd have to spend in the past for it to make some sense would good for the story - the characterr would have changed too much. Better leave them as separate entities.
But it does raise the question, will this new story be cannon to twilight's twinlight? It would add quite a lot to the meaning of twilight being celly's student, and maybe to his presence there too.
Sounds over all good. You could still have it be Ken but in a sequel. As you agree with my point that that arc was just too early in ken's Equestria life to happen. So either option I will still read that story.
Well I thought the chapter was pretty enjoyable(I definitely enjoyed the ending with Twilight's reactions), I also thought the following chapter would be a retelling of the story to twilight who is out of the loop and we as the audience would get the abridge version of the story of his life with Luna and Celestia.
This works too, I guess I'll take a look at both stories in the future.
I respect this.
I look forward to reading both.
I like the idea of separate fics because gives me more to read!
I can respect this decision.
Sounds like a great idea can't wait to see the spin-off keep up the great work
So question. Will the new story be with Ken in it. But the story is just getting more dedication to it. I do like the idea of it being Ken. But agree that it should have been later on not a week after he arrived.
Also i did always like the idea of Ken taking the name Clover. Sense he was Clover. I honestly thought that was what your gonna do with his name.
But yeah like the idea of it getting more attention. It is a fun idea and makes this more interesting. Also last thing the major problem i had with the part of the story. Was how when he came back Celestia and Luna acted like they have been really close with ken for like years. Kind of like they saw (S)he was there parental figure. But that would have to be like 5 or more years for them to act like that. Like the idea. But just something that kind of bugged me. But yeah i can understand why you did this. And props to you for actually doing something that could have annoyed a lot of people mad
I honestly saw no problem with the Clover Arc. You honestly made it work perfectly in my opinion, and I was quite thrilled to see more of Twilight's reactions to this revelation. Oh well, I guess I will see what the new chapter 7 is like.
