    A Ratio Approaching One and G5 - Ideas and Feedback Requested

    In an earlier post, years ago by now I am certain, I discussed some other story ideas I wanted to try out. One of these was what I called "A Ratio Approaching One," where certain scenes/episodes of FiM were re-imagined in an Equestria where the ratio of mares to stallions was closer to 1:1. A different take from the usual Rule 63 story where it's all flipped for everyone. The main point was to

    Brief History and MLP Canon

    In my last blog, I discussed how one of the (many) reasons the fics sort of went to sleep was due to both lagging behind the show, and not knowing how to continue with my intent of being canon compliant even as the show became more and more specific. So, now that I've seen Season 7 (with 8 and 9 when I can later), I will make this official: The fics A Brief History of Equestria and Brief History

    Lots Of Dust In Here...

    So. Been a while. Lots of reasoning for it: Work, writers block, and outside factors keeping me from keeping up with the show (I have only just now managed to watch Season 7 - sooo no spoilers please). You know, the usual.

    Some Assistence...

    No. No new snippet.

    However, I have been psyching myself up to get back into writing the Assault.

    One bit in particular is inspired by this song here:

    Season Four Premier

    Welp... The two-parter has thrown all manner of monkey wrenches into my plans. Not enough to induce a rage quit, but definitely a frustrating thing. I had heard the rumors of the history of Tia and Luna being explored, but no where near as much as what was shown.

Lots Of Dust In Here... · 11:19pm Aug 16th, 2019

So. Been a while. Lots of reasoning for it: Work, writers block, and outside factors keeping me from keeping up with the show (I have only just now managed to watch Season 7 - sooo no spoilers please). You know, the usual.

Part of what cause the Brief History series go dormant was the fact that I wanted to keep it as canon-compliant as possible. Trouble is, as the seasons progressed, the writers really worked their Worldbuilding Muscles something fierce. And believe me - that is AWESOME to see, and I love it.

Buuuuut... Well, it means that everything I had developed doesn't actually work as nicely as it used to when the girls and spike were constrained to Ponyville, Canterlot, and the local area.

So, in the event that I can put out more chapters, don't be surprised or dismayed if you see an "Alt. History" tag magically added, because the differences from the actual canon and what I put together are stark enough that that's what I wound up making.

Hope to give the readers something to enjoy. Eventually. In the meantime, have a good day!

While I respect your desire to hew close to canon, you should never feel obligated to do so. Looking forward to seeing where you deviate from the show.

So happy to hear you're back.
