Because I Can

And That's How Equestria Was Made!

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

It's an odd phrase. Jack Nicholson said it in Batman, the 1989 version. For the longest time, I thought it was just something he said to be weird and scary. Then I started thinking about it, what it really means. To be honest, I had absolutely no idea. I actually built a scene once, where a little red devil complete with horns and a tail was waiting under the pale moonlight in a dimly lit forest. I danced with him, had a bunch of fun trying out different dance styles: we did the hokey pokey, we danced the waltz, we fought, and then we even did a ritualistic rain dance.

Needless to say, I completely missed the point.

A quick check on Google told me that it might have meant, "Have you ever found yourself in a horrifying situation when no one is around to assist." That's quoted from answers.yahoo.com.

...Where was I going with this?

Right, I wanted to show that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. That was the time I finally realized it, though; I had all the powers of a God, and I had no idea when it would actually be a bad idea to use them. I was just a kid, and I needed to grow up enough to figure out what I was doing with my life. So my first mature act was to create Equestria and abandon my home universe for a while.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time.

I even set a few rules for myself:

Rule 1: At least make an attempt to stop using my powers to fix all my problems.

Rule 2: Don't kill anyone important. Try not to kill anyone important

Rule 3: Don't start any more new religions. On purpose.

Rule 4: Try to learn something new. as often as

With those more or less written down, I opened a hole into my new reality, and stepped inside.

Author's Note:

This is an unofficially sequel to my other Marty Stu story, because a fan asked if I would have one. To which I responded... "Meh?"

Seriously, though, that minor comment was inspiration. That's worth more to me than you might think.

In the interest of actually accomplishing SOMETHING, I'm holding myself to an hour of writing each and every day. No, not all of it on this; some of it will just be random thoughts in a journal. That said, I need to do this to improve as a writer, and I'd like as much feedback as possible, both good and bad, while I work.

Thanks for being awesome!
