    Luna can't sleep

    Back from the final Bronycon, more on that later. In the meantime, enjoy some horsewords. Bonus points for reading aloud.

    Beneath a blackened sky, the pale milky moon cast a pallid glow across lands steeped in shadow.  A sea of muted grey from mountains thrust high, to plains fertile and fallow.

    The struggles of half-assed fic research

    So here I was, minding my own business. I can't get two lines into a new story without having to stop and try to figure out a cooler sounding name than "Castle of the Two Pony Sisters"

    THEN THIS SHIT HAPPENS

    The final supper of the ficwhores

    The hot humid musk of Baltimore suffocates you like God's enormous unwashed ballsack the moment you step out the door. A sea of brick beckons the journey of a thousand steps between the gleaming glass zoo of migratory humans and the organic hive of stone and streets known as Charm City. You put your best foot forward, feeling it stick slightly against the pervasive brownish ichor of

    A tale of two pegasi.

    (Wrote a few thousand words today. Here's some of them. CH16 inbound)

    * * *

    It was a slow day in Ponyville.

    It couldn't be fast enough for Scootaloo.

    The wind whipped through her fuchsia mane as the grass receded behind each sharp stamp of her hooves.  Her short wings buzzed as they bit into the air, pushing herself with every erg of energy she could muster.

Some progress · 7:03am Oct 3rd, 2012

The stuffs for Chapter 16 are mostly in place, although I had some trouble figuring out a good opening. We do get back to Ponyville a few times to see the perspectives of certain characters, and how they're starting to view the world after their encounters with Trent.

In particular, their growing discontent with the decidedly utopian nature of Equestria.

A certain draconequus couldn't be happier.





By the way - this is a pretty damn good story, and definitely worth a read:

Flight of the Alicorn



Let me know your thoughts on CH15. This whole segment is getting wrapped up pretty soon, so we can continue with our regularly scheduled plot devices, and get away from any more over-winded dialogue.

Thanks for reading, everyone. The power of comments compels me.

I'm down for helping if you're still having issues with the opening :pinkiehappy:

Ahhh, glad you like it. That really means a lot :twilightblush:

After I get through the Fluttershy arc, the scope of the story should be a bit more apparent. It is going to be rather interesting, and should hopefully help answer the question "what does a pony need with a spaceship?"


Answer - the same reason an Element of Harmony needed a sparkly tiara.

Okay, my head hurts. I saw the ending.

Ugh. Stuck at ren fAire watching the kids. No chance to write, and no comments to read.

Sucks..

I honestly can't even describe how good a HiE this is. It's got to be the only or one of the only legitimately good ones on this entire site. Thanks for continuing to write it, honestly! I love science fiction too, so this is complete gold to me.

Now thats the sort of thing that keeps me going. :pinkiehappy:

Btw, I think we need a science fiction tag on this site.

Have you managed to show this off to any others by chance? Id be interestred to hear what they think.

What kind of bike do you ride btw. 1100 v star here.

Heh. That bit about "bumblebees taste like fruit juice" wasn't made up.

Also - sweet ride ;)

I actually have a little scene planned out where Trent is explaining motorcycles to Celestia.

It's a meeting under serious pretenses. Although by the time Luna walks in, she catches them running around an empty dining hall, Trent riding on her back, with Celly making engine noises as they corner around the room. (bonus points when he dismounts, and she leans her leg out like a kickstand)

They both have a lot to say, but they're afraid to talk about it..

I remember that one. Although I'm probably pretty far behind by now. heh

Btw, the scene involving the space pirates ship is going to jump back and forth between the CMC/Dinky/Derpy/Pip playing out a very similar scenario.

I have brony friends IRL, but none of them read fanfiction. :raritydespair:
